If you’ve been sleeping on our tea lineup, consider this your wake-up call. 🌿 Every tea we serve comes from Spirit Tea—loose leaf, steeped to order, and anything but boring. Whether you’re looking for something bright to get you moving or smooth to slow you down, we’ve got you. Not sure what to try? Ask your barista!

Winter, it’s been nice, but we’re moving on. March’s First Friday at 57 is all about warming up, shaking off the cold, and getting ready for spring. And what better way to do that than with a steaming bowl of braised pork ramen from Chef Andrew (), a killer jazz set from The Colin Kampschroer Trio (), and a cocktail (or two) in hand?

We’re also featuring the stunning, moody landscapes of local artist David Gentry ()—a perfect backdrop for the changing seasons.

Whether you’re here for the food, the art, the music, or just the vibes, this is your sign to gather your people and make a night of it. See you Friday, 5-9pm.

Our English muffin might be simple, but it’s anything but ordinary. Made with locally crafted Katich English muffins (trust us, they’re next level), it’s served with butter and seasonal jam or, for something a little indulgent, chocolate hazelnut spread with a pinch of sea salt. Whether it’s breakfast or just a quick bite, this one’s worth slowing down for.

Happy 168th Birthday, Aurora! 🎉 At Society 57, history is woven into who we are—our name itself is a nod to the year 1857, when the villages of East and West Aurora came together to form the City we call home. Since then, Aurora has grown into a place of creativity, resilience, and community—a City that continues to inspire.

Today, we celebrate Aurora’s past, present, and future, and the people who make it shine. Here’s to 168 years of history and to many more ahead!

02/11/2025

A kind word can make our day—thank you for sharing yours! We love being a place where coffee, food, and community come together, and your support keeps us going. ✨ Have a favorite memory at Society 57? We’d love to hear it!

Flaky, buttery, and impossible to resist—our latest croissant selections from Katich Breads are here. The Apple Pie Croissant, filled with warm spiced apples, is pure comfort (and even better with a little housemade whipped cream), while the Mushroom Manchego Croissant brings a rich, savory bite. Morning treat or afternoon pick-me-up—which one’s calling your name?
