New Coffee Shop Opens In Downtown Plainfield

PLAINFIELD, IL — A new coffee house has opened up shop in downtown Plainfield. Krema Coffee House, 24038 W. Lockport St., announced its "surprise" opening Wednesday morning. The business offers coffee, pastries, sandwiches and more. Owner Kacie Wadycki told Patch she first began making plans to open the shop three months ago.

"We turned it around pretty quickly," she said. Wadycki said Krema is supporting other local businesses, offering a house blend from Ten Drops Coffee, another Plainfield business, as well as local ingredients.

The menu features sandwiches, including a breakfast sandwich, salads and other grab-n-go lunch offerings, plus coffee, lattes and other brewed beverages.

So far, customers have been thrilled to see a coffee shop open downtown.

"Everyone seems to be really happy," Wadycki said. "It's been great to hear."

Krema is open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday (closed Christmas Day).

The business is already racking up five-star reviews on Facebook.

"It's BEAUTIFUL inside, the mocha latte is out of this world, the goat cheese/spinach/egg ciabatta sandwich was a generous size and so fresh," one new fan wrote. "Very comforting ambience, with great music. Plenty of seating. Cute little touches here and there. I'm totally going to be a regular in there."

Another wrote, "Menu is fantastic and the staff are wonderful, highly recommend."
