Sideshow Gallery Chicago: Curiosities, Coffee & the Sideshow Blend

Curiosities, coffee, and a morbid sense of humor

Some partnerships make you smile in a way you cannot quite explain. When a one-of-a-kind curiosity shop and art gallery on Western Avenue in Chicago starts carrying your coffee, you know you have made it to the weird side. And we mean that as the highest compliment.

Sideshow Gallery is unlike anywhere else. Walk through their doors and you will find antiques, oddities, metaphysical items, crystals, candles, witchcraft supplies, and all things strange and unusual. They host classes ranging from tarot to taxidermy, markets, pop-ups, and events throughout their beautiful space. Their tagline says it best: they have a morbid curiosity with a sense of humor.

And they sell Spiritus Coffee.

The Sideshow Blend

We created the Sideshow Blend ($22) exclusively for Sideshow Gallery. It was designed to bring forward notes of dark chocolate, cinnamon, clove, and black cherry. It is bold, a little mysterious, and entirely fitting for a shop that sells occult herbalism books next to handcrafted candles.

The bag sits on their shelf alongside crystals and curiosities, and honestly, it belongs there. Coffee is its own kind of magic.

Why Sideshow Matters to Us

Spiritus Coffee is rooted in Lombard, but our community extends beyond DuPage County. Sideshow Gallery represents something we care about: independent businesses with a clear identity, doing something nobody else is doing, and supporting other small makers along the way. They are our first Chicago stockist and we could not be prouder of the company we keep.
