Earl grey bubble tea was solid, the chocolate croissant was great, the hopscotch was decent and the red velvet doughnut was amazing

The Asian girl is never friendly. Just a flatline vibe every time I’ve come in there. No hello, no thank you, just dead air. I don’t always want to think racism, but you can’t help but to wonder. Gosh just be a little friendlier to customers.

Highly recommend this location. Pistachio matcha was delicious. You can tell the matcha was good quality because of how green it was.

I have tried four separate times to have a vanilla latte that was drinkable. It has never tasted good. I'm not much of a coffee snob, but if you thing Starbucks is decent, this is way below Starbucks. The latte is very bitter, the syrup tastes awful, and it's very watery. If you're an oatmilk drinker, they either use a very low quality watery oatmilk or they hardly use any at all. I'm not sure if they're technique for creating an espresso shot is horrible or what..... Also the latte was 8$ outside of tip and I had to throw it away it was that undrinkable.

We visited the café several times during our vacation in Chicago. We were very satisfied :) I really like the cute little turtle on the wall 😊😀

We ordered delivery and were pretty underwhelmed with the flavors and portions. The soup was pretty tasty but had almost no broth, the sandwiches were ok flavor wise but croissants were pretty stale, the salad had almost no flavor even with the dressing, and smoothies needed sugar or honey to sweeten it up a bit. Just very bland overall so can’t recommend this spot unfortunately.

The folks who work here are great and this message is for the owner. They are currently price gouging & seemingly taking advantage of the community expecting higher prices for goods because of tariffs. I just paid $9 (without tip) for one chocolate croissant and tariffs are not yet in effect. If you’re going to charge that much for a pastry (even with a tariff it shouldn’t be that high) you need to start being transparent with labeling the price next to the pastry instead of blindsiding your community residents once they have their card out & are checking out. I love this place but won’t be a patron anymore. So sad.

Really nice spot to grab some food and coffee and hang out for a bit. Good music selection that isn't too loud.

This place is really cute inside, there is place to work, think, breathe, enjoy coffee, and overall it wasn’t too loud. I got a black coffee and it was good. My partner got a coffee with boba, and the other person with us got a turmeric latte. I also got a bagel breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg, and cheese. It was good.

The vibe is better than the coffee / snacks.

Definitely a kid friendly place despite being quiet. They have a lot of snack and bagel options.

Their mango avocado salad is absolutely delightful! So refreshing with large chunks of avocados and mangos. The dressing was the perfect amount so it's not smuthering. I would totally order it again. It's so hard to find a fresh, healthy, good quality salad like this these days.

Coffee was not good at all. I asked for an iced caramel latte since it was my first time there just to try, and they gave me a coffee with no caramel flavor and it literally 2 melted cubes of ice not even joking. The coffee taste alone was not pleasing since anyways I do like my coffee a bit strong. Overall, it was ass and I was really disappointed because I was craving a good cup of coffee all week.
