THE best cafe in Illinois. Mike, the owner, makes great coffee in unique flavors like Ube Latte, Dark Mattee Latte (black sesame). We has both and they were delish. Non-dairy milk options. Luv it!

The owner is very nice and let us try a sample of some of the homemade syrup that was very good. Had a cappuccino and shot of espresso and both were good! The theme of the cafe is super fun too, definitely recommend checking this place out!

Absolutely love this place. The owner is super nice and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere is perfect whether you love science or are just a casual fan. The drinks are also divine. Have never had even a subpar cup of coffee or tea.

This place is choc full of inspiration. If you are interested in thinking, this place has so many opportunities for choosing a new topic and running with it. It's also cool how it encourages group thinking, like Jackbox Games anytime, or the games/science talks (weekly!).
The coffee is great. The sandwich I had (Bagel Margarita) was AWESOME. The Internet was super fast.
The specialty drinks are so amazing, they are both different and more varied than other places. This is absolutely the only place I've been with actual rose flavor, for example, so exotic!

Owner is very friendly and the coffees are top quality. There are a range of creative and unique flavors and seasonal options unlike any other coffeeshops in the area which are delicious. Many coffees are flavored with house made syrups and there is a helpful menu book detailing all of the available drinks if you have trouble making up your mind. Worth the drive to puck up a 1 of a kind quick service coffee.

The owner is awesome and the drinks are unique and specially curated. I’m a big fan of the science theming, and there are game nights and science events hosted here on Thursdays as well. Definitely worth checking out.
I try to support local cafes whenever i can. This cafe has such a great concept. I was able to taste test a homemade syrup for fall. If was so delicious I asked if I could have it in my iced coffee today and he obliged. I ordered an iced coffee and turkey pesto sandwich. I wish there was a larger selection of food items but the range of coffee and tea is great. While my sandwich was being made i perused the many science themed games, books and tidbits of random information throughout. The sandwich was filling and delicious. I will return the next time I bring sandy to the vet :)

Nice place to stop for some coffee/tea! The muffins were delicious and the barista was very kind to us, asking about where we're from and how we heard about the place. I had the Raspberry White Chocolate drink with espresso and it was great! There are also a variety of board games/tabletop games to play as you sit and enjoy your drink.

I was looking for a place to grab a bite & was intrigued by all the cool drinks! I was especially enticed by the LotR poster at the door haha. I’m so glad I stopped by, the atmosphere’s totally different vibe than your usual cafe. It’s perfect for a nerd like me ?The owner was super kind and chill - we talked about lots of stuff (including his ideas for drinks, homemade syrups, and new flavors to come!) and he was very friendly :) the food was great and I even ordered an extra drink to go! I had a great time! Can’t wait to come back!

I was in there last Saturday for the first time. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and good food, but a little too pricey for my taste. One pita sandwich and a single glass of iced tea for $21, according to the receipt.
Except that's not what I was actually billed. Three days later, the amount that was actually billed to my card was $24.
I'm not going to dispute the transaction, I understand the struggle of trying to run a small business, but I won't be back.
