The Berwyn Post Office at 6625 W. CERMAK ROAD serves as a pivotal community touchpoint for residents across Berwyn and the immediately surrounding areas of west Cook County, including parts of Cicero, Stickney, and North Riverside. Situated prominently on Cermak Road, Berwynās primary east-west commercial artery, this facility is strategically positioned just west of the bustling intersection with Oak Park Avenue, making it easily accessible for a wide swath of the local population. Its location on Cermak Road places it within a vibrant, historic commercial district that has seen continuous activity since the early 20th century. This particular stretch of Cermak, often referred to locally as the āmain streetā of Berwyn, is characterized by its blend of long-standing family-owned businesses and newer establishments, reflecting the cityās dynamic demographic shifts and enduring community spirit. The facility is a cornerstone for the diverse population of Berwyn, serving established families who have called the city home for generations, a significant and growing Hispanic community, and younger professionals and families drawn to Berwynās affordability and architectural charm, particularly in neighborhoods like the Depot District to the east and the Gold Coast area just north of Cermak. These residents rely on this post office for everything from daily mail services to critical passport applications, which often represent key life events like international travel, family visits abroad, or academic exchanges. The Berwyn Post Office is not merely a transactional space; it functions as a critical civic institution within a municipality that prides itself on its strong community ties and local identity. Berwyn itself, incorporated in 1908, grew rapidly as a streetcar suburb of Chicago, attracting waves of immigrants, notably Czechs, who shaped its unique cultural landscape. The architecture surrounding the post office, including the adjacent commercial buildings and the residential blocks just a half-block north and south, speaks to this history, featuring well-maintained brick structures dating from the 1920s to the 1950s. A unique aspect of this facilityās operation is its consistent role in supporting the numerous small businesses that line Cermak Road and its connecting avenues, such as Grove Avenue and Stanley Avenue. These entrepreneurs utilize the post office for shipping, receiving, and managing their commercial correspondence, making it an integral part of Berwynās local economy. Furthermore, the facility experiences heightened activity during specific periods, such as tax season for sending official documents and the summer months when families prepare for international vacations, underscoring its cyclical importance to the community. Local landmarks within a five-block radius include the historic Berwyn City Hall at 6700 W. Cermak Road, just two blocks east, which stands as a testament to the city’s civic pride with its distinctive Art Deco elements. The Berwyn Public Library, an essential community resource offering a wide array of programs and services, is located at 6420 W. 16th Street, approximately three blocks south of Cermak. Also nearby, the famed FitzGerald’s Nightclub, a beacon for live music in the Chicagoland area, is less than a mile east on Roosevelt Road, attracting visitors from across the region. The post officeās long-standing presence at this address, continually adapting to the needs of its evolving community, solidifies its position as a trusted and indispensable local asset for all passport and postal needs. The sheer volume of residents from the Berwyn ‘bungalow belt’ and beyond who pass through its doors daily speaks to its enduring relevance and accessibility. This continuity of service, delivered by a dedicated team, is a quiet yet profound illustration of the facility’s deep integration into the daily rhythms of Berwyn life.

Located at BERWYN POST OFFICE at 6625 W. CERMAK ROAD. Easy access from major highways.
Parking around the Berwyn Post Office at 6625 W. Cermak Road requires a bit of local knowledge, but suitable options are readily available for your passport appointment. Directly behind the post office, accessible via a narrow drive-in from Cermak Road or an alley entrance from Grove Avenue, thereās a small, free customer parking lot with approximately 15-20 spaces. This lot is often full during peak postal hours, especially between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM, and on Saturday mornings. For a more reliable option, ample metered street parking is available directly on Cermak Road in front of the post office. These meters typically charge $1.00 per hour, Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with a two-hour maximum. Payment can be made via coin or the ParkChicago app. Alternatively, free two-hour street parking can often be found on the residential side streets immediately north and south of Cermak, such as Grove Avenue or Wenonah Avenue. Heading one block north to W. 16th Street or one block south to W. 17th Street, you might find more open, unrestricted parking spaces. From these residential streets, the walk to the post office is generally only 0.1 to 0.2 miles, or less than two blocks. During winter months, especially after a significant snowfall, street parking can become more challenging due to snow piles, so prioritizing the small rear lot or arriving earlier for street spots is advisable. In summer, direct sunlight on Cermak Road can make car interiors quite warm, so consider a sunshade if you plan to be inside for an extended period beyond your appointment.
Reaching the Berwyn Post Office at 6625 W. Cermak Road via public transit is quite straightforward, leveraging the robust Pace bus network that serves Berwyn and the surrounding suburbs.

The westbound #302 bus stops approximately 50 feet west of the post office, while the eastbound #302 and #304 buses have a stop directly across the street, near the intersection of Cermak Road and Lombard Avenue. Both routes typically run every 20-30 minutes on weekdays and 40-60 minutes on weekends. A standard single ride costs $2.00 cash or $2.25 with a Ventra card. For train commuters, the Metra BNSF Railway Line provides access via the Berwyn Station (6801 Windsor Ave) or the Harlem Avenue Station (6900 W Windsor Ave). From the Berwyn Metra Station, the post office is approximately a 0.7-mile walk north on Oak Park Avenue, then turning west onto Cermak Road. This walk takes about 12-15 minutes. From the Harlem Avenue Metra Station, it’s a slightly longer 0.9-mile journey, requiring a bus transfer or a 15-20 minute walk east on Windsor Avenue to Oak Park, then north to Cermak.
