    What a lovely place for a sweet treat and coffee. We walked from Prairie State and thoroughly enjoyed a mocha and Americano as well as a delicious warm brownie. Great atmosphere with plenty of seating indoor and out. Bring a book to read or your laptop for working remotely in a change of scenery. Or just go there for dessert after a lunch or brunch. Friendly people plus a little surprise boutique shop for jewelry and some bike accessories. Need to bring coffee and a gift for your loved one? They have you covered.

    What an adorable, small town gem. Phenomenal coffee, lovely environment and friendly staff! Working my way through the Signature Drinks as every one has been delicious. If you haven’t made the trek to Genoa to give them a try, here’s your cue! 🧋☕️🧁

    Stopped here between real estate showings. Enjoyed a great cup of locally sourced coffee in a wonderful atmosphere. Genoa is enjoying such a nice and happy place with OpenDoor! Will stop by often when in the area and you should too :-)

    If you’ve been thinking about trying Open Door Coffee, this is the sign to go! A well themed, cozy yet elegant local stop to get coffee, tasty treats, delicious sandwich combos and more in downtown Genoa! Currently working on the banana foster parfait and let me say the flavor combination is to die for! To drink I ordered the Matterhorn in a size medium over ice. I found that mixing in the whipped cream and mocha syrup gave the drink the perfect amount of sweetness, however if you like to keep the whip on top and a sweeter taste, I suggest asking for additional sweetener. Will be back again, a lovely experience.

    The best coffee shop around! The owners work so hard and want you to have the best experience possible. Their passion does not go unnoticed as the coffee is spectacular and the truck itself is adorable. Everyone is always so happy and it truly will make your day when you go. Not to mention the wonderfully creative drinks they come up with each month, there is truly something for everyone.

    Such a gem. The people are kind and helpful. The coffee is delicious, quick and priced well. They have adorable gifts - some by local artisans. Excited to try food next time - it looks so good! Definitely recommend.

    Love stopping in here. Very cute place and nice people. They have a dairy free yogurt parfait that changes seasonally, always delicious, and they also have a gluten free Maple Chicken Crepe I enjoy. I love that there are options for me, including the soup from time to time. They have cute little markets on the weekends and I just attended a macrame class there with my daughter last night. Also, we actually just moved out of Genoa and were happy to find them in their truck “Doorthy” every Friday around our community center. What a great surprise - the truck only serves drinks though.

    If you haven't been to this coffee house, well....you should! Not only is the coffee amazing, the service is friendly and the atmosphere is wonderful. We are fortunate to have small businesses like this is our community!

  • 5/5 Alexis R. 3 years ago on Google
    Their coffee is always delicious and served with a smile! I always get something different and I am never disappointed. There’s even stuff for my munchkins! We can’t wait til their shop is built, it’s already so cute!

    Cannot say enough about Open Door! They have great coffee, the staff & owners are warm and engaging, they support several other local businesses and are constantly bringing smiles to people’s faces. They’re so much fun and an asset to the community! If you haven’t been, you’re missing out!

  • 5/5 Jennifer D. 3 years ago on Google
    Friendly service, great coffee served on site, and the best fresh ground coffee to take and brew at home. These folks changed my coffee game for the better.

  • 5/5 Patricia S. 3 years ago on Google
    We love open door coffee and their owners!! Matthew is the best Barista, he's always friendly and very helpful and knowledgeable on all their drinks! We have tried most of their drinks and love all of them. Definitely recommend open door coffee with a five star rating🙂

  • 5/5 Meggin M. 3 years ago on Google
    The smiles and service at OpenDoor Coffee is worth a million bucks! I love seeing the process of the coffee shop coming along! A coffee truck in Genoa is the most awesomest thing ever! Keep up the smiles and great coffee!

  • 5/5 Justine P. 3 years ago on Google
    We love visiting open door coffee. I really enjoy the cold brewers, they are so tasty. My kids always enjoy the treats, cake pops and mini cinnamon rolls are their favorites. The shop transformation is amazing, we can’t wait to see the finished product.

  • 5/5 Ann S. 3 years ago on Google
    I love Open Door Coffee! Delicious drinks, fun employees, and the nicest owners you could ever meet! I don't get coffee often, but when I do, I come here and am very happy to support this local business!

  • 5/5 Liza P. 3 years ago on Google
    We love OpenDoor Coffee! The coffee is amazing, specialty drinks are the perfect treat and they have something for everyone! And beyond the coffee, they are a wonderful addition to the community and are always welcoming! So thankful to have them in our town!

  • 5/5 Carol G. 3 years ago on Google
    This is the cutest coffee truck soon to be coffee shop. If you have vision you can look through the temporary construction and imagine the beauty it will be. The owners are super friendly and so creative. And the baristas are top notch. But the best part is the AMAZING coffee. My very favorite. Well Done Nick and Steph!

  • 5/5 Amanda B. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing coffee and wonderful friendly people! Definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Allie S. 3 years ago on Google
    OpenDoor Coffee is a wonderful family run business, and you can tell how passionate they are about the Genoa community. I can’t wait until the building renovation is finished to see how wonderful it is, but the truck is a perfect place to stop in the time being. My favorite drink is the cold brew latte, but their menu has something to suit everyone!

  • 5/5 Ryan F. 3 years ago on Google
    This is the best coffee in the Northern DeKalb county area!! I highly recommend stopping by and trying their cold brew coffee!!

  • 5/5 Jacob G. 3 years ago on Google
    Best Coffee on this side of the Mississippi!

  • 5/5 Jeremy G. 3 years ago on Google
    Absolutely phenomenal coffee. The price is perfect for the quality of the coffee. Best coffee in DeKalb county by far. Beans are fresh work great with my Chemex fresh beans equals amazing coffee. Nick the owner even helped me find the perfect grinder for my needs. Staff always goes above and beyond with quick service without compromising quality. Can’t wait for the shop to open!

    We love getting our coffee from here every Saturday morning. It's something we look forward to and drive 20 minutes to get every week. The service is always excellent and our drinks are always amazing.

    First off, Happy Birthday to Tracy!!! We had such an amazing experience with her on the morning of July 27th. My wife & I + our two little boys were departing Sycamore for the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for vacation. We pulled up to the driveway-thru window & didn’t even realize we were nearly a half an hour early before the store opened. Lights were off, but Tracy was evidently already there opening up & happened to notice us as we were pulling away. She reached out the window to wave us down & offered to make us breakfast & coffee & to just give her a few minutes to get things turned on.. which was beyond kind & completely unexpected/unnecessary since the store wasn’t even open to the public yet. We were so grateful & appreciative of her going out of her way to do that for us when she didn’t have to. I’m not just saying this, but our breakfast sandwiches & coffee were amazing as well! Really hit the spot! Not to mention, Tracy was so kind to send us off with some water for our long car ride. It truly made our experience & our trip that morning so enjoyable! We won’t forget that! We absolutely love having Open Door Coffee in this community!

    "Good coffee makes you smile" I've loved this coffee since they appeared in a homestead wedding reception a few years back as a coffee truck, and I've been hooked since then! I'll always choose to support small businesses especially when it's this good 😜 It's been a "Lifesaver" in more ways than one I get that flavor Lifesaver and or the Matterhorn when I go, conveniently they NOW have a Drive-Thru allowing people like me heading to an in-home shoots to get a quick coffee and head out! Thanks guys! ❤️

  • 5/5 Ana M. 8 months ago on Google
    Great coffee. Amazing atmosphere. Very friendly staff. I was in a hurry and just needed my coffee to get my day going. After going inside I felt like just staying and enjoying my coffee there. It’s so inviting and charming! Owners, you did a fantastic job with this place. I hope your business is super successful!

  • 5/5 Kayla S. 3 years ago on Google
    The service has always been great! The staff is always friendly and the coffee is absolutely amazing! There isn’t a drink I’ve had that I didn’t like! I would highly recommend them to anyone.

  • 5/5 ashley g. 3 years ago on Google
    My family and I LOVE OpenDoor Coffee! Their coffee truck is so stinkin’ cute and I love that they’re able to keep the truck open while rehabbing the property to become a coffee shop! They bring such a unique vibe to our small town and the owners are so sweet! Not to mention their coffee is the best around - especially the cold brew! 10/10 recommend!

  • 5/5 Meagan N. 3 years ago on Google
    Love this truck!! Have been a fan of them for awhile now and have a subscription for beans too. All the employees are easy to speak with and friendly. They know my order before I order it and are always such a pleasure to see when I pick up my fix. The owners are down to earth and make you feel like old friends when you see them. Not only are they helping our small town economy grow, they have their own roots to establish here with their family. I love being able to support such a wonderful and caring business like Opendoor and I love sharing it with my family and friends when we meet there. Highly recommend this truck and coffee shop!!

  • 5/5 Lauren W. 3 years ago on Google
    I absolutely adore OpenDoor Coffee! As a picky-coffee-drinker I have a hard time finding a coffee place that consistently gets it right- but this one always does. Genoa is very lucky to have them. They have also had many “collaborations” with different food trucks / vendors in the past. Support a small business and check them out!!

  • 5/5 Nathan D. 3 years ago on Google
    I am super happy with everything I have had here. So glad they are making a permanent spot here in our town. Love the service and the people. Definitely some of the most positive people I have met. I always walk away with a smile.

  • 5/5 Illumination C. 3 years ago on Google
    From the warmth of their staff to the delicious cups of coffee brewed, Open Door Coffee feels like home. I can’t say enough about the service I’ve received, the multiple times I’ve been. There are few places you can go to enjoy family values and chill vibes and Open Door has it all. I’m thankful I found this little gem of a place and can’t wait to see what they’re up to next. Plus, if you follow them on social media, their videos are hilarious 😆

    OpenDoor coffee is a specialty coffee shop with the cutest coffee truck parked out front to serve customers as they renovate a historic home in Genoa for their permanent home ! Their family and business fosters community and connection in our small town in the most incredible way, as a long time resident I love what they do beyond just serving coffee. They not only are the most personable staff, but often host other mobile small business on Saturdays. They have high quality, low acidic coffee with tons of specialty drinks. Their prices are a bit higher than your cup of Dunkin which reflects their quality and high standards! They always have local events in the community for kids and partner with local business. One million stars ✨

  • 5/5 andy w. 3 years ago on Google
    I drive all the way from Sycamore, at least a couple times a week, to buy coffee from this family. They are the absolute best people in the world. Five stars is not enough. And what they do for other small businesses they allow to come on site is nothing short of amazing.

  • 5/5 Jonathon B. 3 years ago on Google
    Love this place! Always great service and fantastic coffee. My favorite drink is the Matterhorn and on Saturday’s we’ll pick up some of their breakfast burritos for the family. Highly recommend stopping in and giving them a try.

  • 5/5 Taryn R. 3 years ago on Google
    Wonderful coffee and wonderful people working here! Its been fun watching their adventure along the way. 🥰

  • 5/5 Retha T. 3 years ago on Google
    Open door coffee is an experience. They are not just good coffee but a community bringing people together! They are supporting and joining small businesses in their city to be successful and that sets them apart from the coffee giants in Illinois.

  • 5/5 Amber W. 3 years ago on Google
    Hands down best coffee shop I’ve ever been to! Each visit is greeted with a smile and the warmth of family. I have never been disappointed in a purchase, from Italian sodas and iced coffee to the many, many howlers I’ve brought home to share. I admire the partnership they’ve made with other small businesses in the surrounding area, bringing a delightful variation of treats and trucks to support. I look forward to social media posts on progress to the coffee shop each day, it’s been an inspiring journey to see! OpenDoor has never failed to put a smile on my face, and I cannot wait to continue to support this family and their business for years to come! Thank you for all that you do and provide to our community OpenDoor! ♥️

    I live alone and work from home currently during this pandemic. Throughout these past few months, I go 1-3 times a week and it really makes my morning. Although I live in Sycamore, I drive to Genoa. I love the staff, the owners, the atmosphere, the truck!, and of course the coffee. If I could rate this place 10 stars I would🧡

  • 5/5 Rachel K. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Olga K. 3 years ago on Google
    It's a very nice place with the best coffee you can find! Don't know about cookies ( they don't make them, they are from other local businesses) but if you don't like the test of their coffee, you just didn't try the real coffee before! Great job! Finally we have COFFEE here!

  • 5/5 Lisa S. 3 years ago on Google
    The coffee is wonderful. The service is great. The owners are the kind, generous and loving. They’re all about family, friends and community. All of these together make OpenDoor Coffee a top notch place to be

  • 5/5 Niamh D. 3 years ago on Google
    Best Coffee Truck and soon to be shop around. They are a down to earth couple who love people and coffee! You can tell they have passion for their small town and their part in that small town. A million stars!

    We love open door coffee!! 💕

  • 5/5 Todd V. 3 years ago on Google
    Thank goodness for a private-owned coffee shop focusing on quality goods at decent prices! Prices are right on point for what you’re getting. My wife and I really recommend the cold brew...very addicting. We really appreciate the friendly staff and atmosphere, and can’t wait to see how the build-out looks! These people are the real-deal, folks, and are doing a lot of the work to expand on their own. Keep doing what you’re doing, OpenDoor! We tell everyone about you!

  • 5/5 Kristen J. 3 years ago on Google
    OpenDoor Coffee is amazing! Their customer service and commitment to the community is exceptional. The cold brew gowler is a must have! Thank you Nick and Stephanie for bringing delicious coffee to Genoa and supporting other small businesses in the process! You rock! The truck is awesome! We can't wait for the shop to open!

  • 5/5 Ashley B. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Molly C. 3 years ago on Google
    All time favorite coffee shop! Wonderful addition to genoa. The people who own it are so friendly and really want to see the small businesses in Genoa succeed.

  • 5/5 Dawn D. 3 years ago on Google
    Family business often sharing their space with other food trucks, scouts selling popcorn, offering baked goods from a local small business...lots of hot and cold coffee offerings, plus Italian sodas and teas. Love Open Door and their mission to foster community in and around Genoa. I will always be a customer. Period.

  • 5/5 Rachelle Stasiak B. 3 years ago on Google
