Good Manner is Little Parade + Good Manner Coffee.

We are a family bringing our two existing businesses together to create a space for others to gather and grow.

Little Parade began teaching early childhood music classes in 2016 from a desire to see little ones build their their unique creativity through music. These classes foster such an engaging learning environment for families that builds community and creativity from a young age. We believe that this work will result in a lasting impact on children and their families. Little Parade has held classes all over the city of Chicago but is looking for a place to call home.

Good Manner Coffee has strictly been a home operation since 2014; roasting, packaging, and shipping every order from our home which has given us the flexibility and the time to refine our craft. However there is a large portion of our vision that isn't being completely fulfilled: the ‘service’ aspect— the serving and connecting with people. The 2 to 4 minutes spent hearing someones story while they wait for their drink and the being apart of someones daily routine.

We have secured a beautiful storefront in the Lakeview neighborhood. There will be music classes of all kinds offered midday by Little Parade and coffee bar serving freshly roasted Good Manner coffee from the roastery in the back of house. We hope it will be a space for you to call your 'home away from home.'

From one family to another we’d love to invite you to join us in creating a space that people can come to for generations to come; a space where you and your family can gather, learn, and grow.

Before we can open our doors we need to refresh the facilities, complete some build out, and purchase the necessary equipment to make it a fully-functional space for you.

We are encouraged by your excitement and cannot wait to serve you.
Welcome to the family.
