Erin’s Cup & Cookies is a Chicago-born coffee and cookie shop built on culture, creativity, and community. Founded in 2023 by teen entrepreneur Erin Elise Polk, the shop quickly became a local favorite for its handcrafted espresso drinks, rotating specialty cookie flavors, fresh salads, juices, and baked goods. Beyond serving food, Erin’s Cup is a gathering place where neighbors, students, and entrepreneurs connect and feel inspired. With a mobile latte service, college partnerships, and community events, we bring quality coffee and cookies directly into the heart of Chicago neighborhoods. Our mission is simple: to make people feel seen, valued, and cared for — one cup and cookie at a time.
