Welcome to Air Play Espresso and Bakery
Small business is the heart of America. We have been family-owned and operated since we served our first cup of coffee on December 1, 2010. Our fresh-roasted, fine coffees, combined with sweets from our own made-from-scratch bakery will make a visit well worth your while. We quickly became locally famous for our fresh-baked scones. We have made over 200,000 of these amazingly popular treats! We offer a full coffee house menu from creamy espresso, fruit smoothies, frozen frappes and over 30 fresh, loose-leaf teas.


Air Play has been voted #1 favorite Place for Coffee in the Sauk Valley area for several years. Think of us when you are ready for some great caffeine and fresh-baked pastries.


We have indoor & seasonal outdoor seating at our main location at 115 E 3rd St. You’ll find free, high-speed Internet and a clean restroom all in a comfortable setting. Plenty of parking on the street or in the public lot behind us.
This makes Air Play Espresso and Bakery a great meeting place for friends or business. Coffee groups, book clubs, and we’re a kid-friendly environment with a changing station in the bathroom.

ENJOY our DRIVE-THRU access from the alley on the corner at 202-4th Avenue, one block east of the city offices.

We are proud to be a family-owned and operated business, and we are grateful for the support of our loyal customers. Thank you for being a part of our story!
