Buli

Just off Oak Lawn Avenue sits a coffee shop and café, outwardly modern in décor, that hits all the requisite marks. Not only is there a plethora of caffeinated beverages, there are many edible accompaniments. These include danishes, scones and breakfast eats. There are plenty of stand-alone dishes too. Take, for example, the sandwiches, salads and grilled panini for lunch or dinner. Still, Buli, owned by Allen Goode and Scott Whittall, is primarily a cup-of-joe joint. Among the coffee options are the popular and proprietary Buli Bold and the medium-roast Bliss. Flavored coffees are rotated, including the recent vanilla nut and raspberry white chocolate selections. But not all the drinks are hot. Iced coffees rule the summer months.
