I recently learned about this place and I didn't think too much at first. However, upon coming in I…read morenever realized how busy this place really was. It's absolutely popular and I love how customer focus it is with giving it a vibrant environment that feels like I'm inside of a college hangout. The lines here are a bit long at times of the day, there's offices conducting businesses to around you as well. It's a great place that features events happening too. They are also dog friendly and they have non - caffeinated options. Guest interactions me and my wife enjoyed were the photo booth as well as the games nearby. Prices here are very reasonable and we met the owner who was very nice and courteous! She definitely knows how to knock out orders quickly! The warm, vibrant atmosphere was inviting and I was very appease with my visit and specially that a place like this exists in Joliet Illinois is absolutely incredible. I highly recommend checking this place out!

I was excited to check out the new local coffee shop in town--and it exceeded expectations. The…read morespace was surprisingly spacious, welcoming, and perfect for chatting, studying or just chilling. The staff was incredibly friendly and easy to talk to, which made the experience even more welcoming. I was torn between trying the special Nana Latte or the Horchata Latte, but with limited time, I went with the Banana Nana Latte. You could really taste the quality of the espresso, and the house-made syrup complemented it. The drink was light, flavorful, and not overly sweet (which is something I like). We also tried the cold brew, which was a solid go-to for coffee lovers. Next up was the chocolate croissant--and as people who love a good croissant (and have even had them in Italy), we were impressed. It was one of the best we've had in a long time. I'd go back for that croissant every time, though I'm also curious to try their other baked goods. As a tea lover, I'm excited to explore their tea selection. The merch was also cute and trendy. I was not able to hear the music the dj has to offer but I'm sure it's groovy and a perfect touch for the vibes. As someone who likes dj sets, I will make my back. This shop is a gem for the community, and I'm happy to keep supporting them. Can't wait to go back!

It shines from every detail of her drinks, her space, to her personality and interactions with every customer. Bonus: This is the best coffee is the South Suburbs. This is not 7 Brew, Starbucks, or Scooters. This is hand crafted coffee with incredible flavors she has personally tested and mastered. Every drink is hand made with attention to detail. Drinks are always consistent. Please also know you can ask if you don't see it on the menu, and she's always down to offer suggestions based on your taste/requests! Space is warm, welcoming, clean, and a mix of decisions made by her and her customers via her social media accounts. Nour will meet you once or twice, and then remember you and your usual order. Truly a kind, wonderful person and it shows in the customers and her space. Please note: this space is brand new, and it's a soft opening. Lines can get long, but it's a testament to the customers and service she provides. No gate keeping here. Her old space was a counter and no seating - this is new space is such a win for her and us! Please be kind and patient when venturing in to support - you will be addicted and I'll see you in line soon!

I like to read at coffee shops and this is totally doable there. The drinks are still fire, thoughtfully crafted and balanced like no other shop does in the area. They have regular menu items (my fave is the Nutter Butter), but also gorgeous seasonal menus. I have tried at least a dozen different drinks and none of them have disappointed. This coffee shop is a blessing to have in our community!

One of my new favorite coffee shops. I came across it while heading back home through Plainfield…read moreearlier this month. It's located inside of a warehouse space that houses a couple of different businesses including the Ten Drops roastery but the shop itself is a big space all its own and they have done a nice job giving it a good vibe. I ordered an iced version of one of their signature drinks, the Spice latte and it was one of the best tasting coffee drinks I've had in the area. It had great tasting espresso with a perfect balance of milk and flavoring. The barista was very friendly and the fact that she had the place quietly jamming to Aerodynamic when I walked in was a big plus. I took a seat while waiting for my drink and was kind of bummed I couldn't stick around to take a load off and enjoy it while the sun poured in from all of the big windows but it was okay because I just looked more forward to coming back soon.

Critical Grind is certainly a great place if you like board and card games. Has crap tons to choose from including some most people have never heard about before coming here. The drinks and food aren't the main attraction but these are good mostly. Came here the first time and we just wanted to look around. It's got a counter to order at and a few tables in front. The back is where it's at as far as fun and games. A crap ton of board games are piled up basically. Has so many games back here it's hard to pick just one. The drinks and food are easier choices thankfully. It's about $5 to get a latte. There's some non dairy milk choices including oat. It's about $6 for avocado toast, of which there's a few choices. The Hummzza comes with balsamic glaze, basils, and tomatoes. Great place with lots of fun. It's located in the plaza next to the sports cards store. There's often events going on here so check the website.
