This isn't a place I would bring a laptop to set up shop and work for a few hours, personally, but others may feel differently. Parking lot had plenty of space as well, which was great. If I'm in the area again I would go back.

We ordered choco Turkish cake, baklava cheesecake, and two different kinds of matcha cloud. The choco Turkish cake was tasty. It wasn't too rich. The baklava cheesecake is lighter and it gets a little crispy at the bottom. We got one matcha cloud with blueberry and the other one with coconut water. You can also choose how much sugar you want. Mine was fine with 50% sugar since blueberries are already sweet.

It has more of a Starbucks/Panera Bread feel, where you can order items then hangout with friends there. People also come to study or do homework. Service wasn't the most welcoming, I would have liked it if they smiled or maybe showed more enthusiasm. Prices were fair. I've had a few of their cakes before and they were never too sweet. Flavors were equally balanced. This time we decided to order a bunch of items for snacks/meals. We ordered spinach feta Danish, pizza baguette, strawberry croissant, croque monsieur, strawberry soft (it has like strawberry cream between two soft breads), mango cream doughnut, curry croquette, and milk cream bread. It's about a 4.5 for me. I'll be returning. -spinach feta Danish 5 -pizza baguette 5 -strawberry soft 5 -croque monsieur 4 - it was okay.

Inside you'll be able to find seats easily during the day. At night, they have periods of large groups rushing in. We ordered mango dragonfruit refresher, Qamaria latte, pistachio tres leches, honey cake, and raspberry shaped fruit cake. Service was friendly. -mango dragonfruit refresher 4 - I like how they have real pieces of dragonfruit in the drink but I didn't really taste the mango at all. -pistachio tres leches 3.5 - this was okay. I prefer pistachio milk cake. -honey cake 5 - not very sweet at all, only slight due to honey. It's not heavy at all after eating dinner. -raspberry shaped fruit cake 5 - if you like raspberries, I would recommend this.

I've been exploring more Middle Eastern cafés lately, and this one stood out in the best way. I ordered a V60, and honestly it was one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had. You can see the care and attention they put into the process, from the precise brewing to serving it with a small pot so I could enjoy the rest at my own pace. The flavor was incredible, smooth and rich. I also tried the pistachio cheesecake, which was absolutely delicious perfectly balanced. Maybe a bit to much chocolate on topo. The presentation matched the taste, and it paired beautifully with the coffee. The café itself has a wonderful atmosphere thoughtfully decorated and very inviting. You can tell a lot of effort was put into creating a warm, stylish, and welcoming space. Between the excellent drinks, the tasty desserts, and the inviting vibe, I left very satisfied and already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend Shaghf Café if you're looking for a quality coffee experience!

I ordered a Kashmiri Chai... Smooth and balanced with almond milk and pistachios crumbles. It was refreshing but didn't replace my desire for coffee. Lol. So, I later got a small black coffee which was excellent and didn't taste too strong. A variety of dessert options and meat pastries. I was torn between tres leches milk cake or the pistachio. I got the pistachio which was yummy. Just what I needed to feel satisfied without it being too sweet. I spent about 4 hours studying while enjoying my drinks. I would definitely return especially since they stay open to 1am. A late night cozy Tea Cafe experience worth having. I wondered if they dimmed the lights as it gets later? Lol

My husband and I used to live nearby, and some of our favorite memories are walking over on weekends with our pup, grabbing coffee, and sitting out front just enjoying the moment. I recently visited the Elmhurst Craft location for an event and had one of those experiences that just sticks with you. I was chatting with a barista about how much I love (and deeply miss!) the Equinox. She mentioned she was newer and hadn't tried it, but saw it in the recipe book and agreed it sounded amazing--which, for the record, it absolutely is (or was ). A little while later, she came running up to me asking if I was the one talking about the Equinox. When I said yes, she surprised me with an Equinox sticker she had dug up. Such a small, simple gesture--but it genuinely meant so much and made my entire night. To the Brewpoint leadership team: that moment alone earned my loyalty for life. Customer service like that is rare, and it deserves to be recognized. I didn't catch her name, but I was there Thursday, March 19 between 6-8 PM at the Craft location--she was running the sample table and sharing the carrot cake latte (which, by the way, was incredible). Please pass along a huge thank you and some well-deserved recognition--she truly made an impact. And one last thing... BRING BACK THE EQUINOX!! Pretty please

They still had the same coffee menu, seasonal drinks, and baked good offering; but, felt a lot more like a neighborhood destination. I ended up ordering coffee for my work team and all were impressed by the flavors! I got a Black Americano, Hot Borealis Latte, and the Whipped Carrot Cake Latte for myself. The Carrot Cake Latte may be a new all time favorite of mine! It wasn't too sweet but just leaned into the flavor profile enough. My coworker who had the Hot Borealis said it may have been her favorite latte she's tried. I also got the Herbed Goat Cheese Croissant which is familiar yet unique with the pop of savoriness. Overall, this was a great experience as a stop in when passing through the area. Brewpoint continues to have great flavors that leaves a lasting impression. Staff is friendly and pricing is fair.

I fell in love with Turkish coffee in Dubai several years ago when I was there on business. Unfortunately, there were few if any coffee houses in the Western Suburbs that served real Turkish coffee, until NOW! Shibam, brought back pleasant memories of my time in the UAE. From the moment we walked into the coffee house, it was spotless, and beautifully decorated similar to ones in Dubai. On both occasions I ordered the small pot Turkish coffee with a savory beef croissant and our absolute favorite Honeycomb bread. Needless to say, Shibam is now my go to coffee house, forget Starbucks!

You order up at the counter, grab your number, and find a seat. Just a note that it can get busy on weekends and during peak lunch hours, so plan accordingly. In addition, they also have a full coffee bar if you're in the mood for an espresso or specialty drink. Solid lunch spot that we keep coming back to. I'm a fan. 'Til next time, cheers!

My latte was mediocre at best. It wasn't very flavorful, and it wasn't very coffee forward, so I wonder if they use less shots of espresso than is standard or less strong espresso. The thing that bothered me most though was that the barista swirled my drink in front of me, it splashed all over out of the top and sides of the lid, and instead of fixing it or apologizing (or even just acknowledging it!!!!), he proceeded to hand it to me and said "have a great day!" I walked over with my baby in tow and cleaned it up myself. It was SO odd to me. The space is bright, there are plenty of seats, and parking is easy. Such a shame that I didn't like the actual latte more! :/
