Soapy Roads & The Makery Bar: Lombard Creativity

Where handmade meets hand-roasted

Some businesses sell products. Others create experiences. Soapy Roads & The Makery Bar does both—and they do it with the kind of intention we recognize.

Located in Lombard, Soapy Roads is a creative workshop space where you can make your own soap, candles, bath bombs, and other handcrafted goods. The Makery Bar extends this into a full DIY experience with classes, events, and custom creations.

We're proud to partner with them, serving Spiritus coffee at their events and workshops.

The Handmade Connection

There's something that connects handmade soap and small-batch coffee. Both reject the industrial, mass-produced default. Both prioritize quality ingredients and careful process over efficiency and scale.

When you make soap by hand, you control every ingredient. You choose the oils, the scents, the colors. You pour it, cut it, cure it. The result is something you made—not something a factory produced.

That's how we feel about coffee. Every batch roasted by hand, every decision intentional. The parallel isn't accidental.

What They Offer

Soapy Roads & The Makery Bar hosts:

• DIY workshops: Soap making, candle making, bath bombs, and more. No experience required.
• Private events: Birthday parties, team building, bridal showers. Creative activities in a welcoming space.
• Custom creations: Work with their team to design your own products.
• Retail: Can't make it yourself? Buy their handcrafted goods ready to go.

The atmosphere is warm, the instruction is patient, and yes—there's Spiritus coffee to fuel your creativity.

• Handmade ethos: They believe in making things yourself, with care
• Local focus: A Lombard business serving the Lombard community
• Experience over transaction: They're creating memories, not just selling products

Coffee at a creative workshop isn't just refreshment—it's part of the experience. We're honored to be that part.
