Willy Sauce • ELBURN

Willy Sauce aims to bring joy to people by means of hot sauce. Well balanced with flavor, his sauces encourage adding “just one more drop.” The result is a collection of sauces that are flavor forward and still deliver the burn you desire. A variety of heat levels exists to ensure that there’s a sauce for everyone! Look for Pineapple Habanero at Sidecar, and Louisiana Style at our sister restaurant Mirus.

Gindo's the spice of life • ST CHARLES

Hot sauce doesn't have to be an afterthought or simply a condiment that you drip on your food to mask a mediocre dish or burn your senses useless. Gindo's sauces are designed to help inspire creativity in the kitchen and enhance food by adding flavor, aroma, color, texture and even nutrients. Check out our collaboration sauce Coffee BBQ + Bacon Jam - bottles available for retail for $8

Sunset Soda • gENEVA

THey focus on better, not bigger. Better means carefully selected, natural ingredients and real sweeteners. Better means keeping the environment in mind to ensure that everything from the waste goods to the label is recyclable. Better means soda made without all the nonsense. The result is a small-batch soda you can feel good about drinking. A naturally alcohol-free beverage that earns the craft label. A complement to all of life’s moments, large and small. 

kindred coffee roasters • WEST CHICAGO

Kindred Coffee Roasters began in February of 2013, in a relatively quiet western suburb of Chicago called, quite appropriately, West Chicago, as an idea in the mind of a dedicated dilettante named Ryan Hammer. With experiences he had while working in coffee in the Oakland, San Francisco, and Chicagoland areas, and with the radical collaborative partnership of his sister Sarah and brother-in-law Patrick, Kindred Coffee Roasters became something more than an idea, something more like an actual possibility, a way to bring excellent coffees to people in the hopes that folks might find their daily cups more delicious and interesting than ever before.
