5 stars because they have large coffee options…read more.. Nice spot in Lombard great for business meetings, studying, or just getting you a quick coffee and pastry. Close at 10pm but if you need longer later hours a 1am tea shop is about a quarter mile down the road with good options also. Parking lot with plenty of parking. My highlight is that they have booths. Plenty of tables and seating. Good menu options for lattes, iced, hot, espresso, etc. Reasonable priced and they have 20oz coffee. The service was nice as the girl was kind but she didn't seem to understand me well and she didn't know if the coffee was Turkish or not. Therefore, I ordered an Americano with their homemade pistachio sauce. It was a nice beverage. I also ordered a Turkish bread with ground beef. It too was delicious, hot and fresh. The ambiance is inviting. The pastries and mini to small cake options were quite beautiful. The nose level was very quiet until little ones came in. Still tolerable but if you are studying and it's busy don't forget your headphones. Lol. I studied for about 3 hours and I would definitely return again.

But, I am reviewing the Lombard location. The selection was good and fresh, although some of their items are a bit pricey. I ordered cake pops, brownies, and a chocolate chip cookie. The sales person was pleasant and quick. This store is their biggest store, and they feed the Winfield and Schaumburg stores. They make their pastries at this location, so you'll probably get the freshest selection at the Lombard location. I had bought a gift card from Costco for Sweet Reserve. I admit if I hadn't bought it, and received a discount at Costco for it, I probably would not have noticed the store. It's in a small strip mall on Roosevelt road which has hundreds of strip malls off the road. The store itself is clean and well kept. It does have a limited selection of products but they were all pretty good. The brownies are very frudgey, just the way I like them. The cake pops are sweet, but a little dry. The cookie has a lot of chips in them. Overall, I liked the place.

I used to live in VP - now out of state -- but when I come into town, I often stop to get bakery to take while visiting my family. The selection, quality, and prices can not be beat. I buy strudels, coffee cakes, donuts, pecan rolls - which are my favorites, cookies and sweet rolls and made to order Italian cannoli - which they fill before you pick them up. I so very much miss my home bakery, and I am longing for a pecan roll. Hopefully, I will get some in May when I visit.

It was an exact replica of his car, duplicated from the pictures I gave them. The color, details, license plate, the wheels, the cake was amazing.

Agnes and Carlos are creative talented artists, they should have their own TV show:) Also, their daily assorted desserts are wonderful and if you ever have a party - you will find eye catching desserts that taste amazing.

My family and I are originally from New Jersey, and since moving to Chicago 15 years ago, I've had to bring back 1-2 lbs of rainbow cookies every time I visited home--until now. My kids absolutely love your rainbow cookies. My son's birthday is right after Christmas, and he recently asked for a rainbow cookie cake. We called the bakery during the busy holiday season, and despite the high demand, your team was kind enough to fulfill our order for his post-holiday birthday. The cake was perfect: perfectly moist, with the ideal balance of apricot and raspberry jam, and just the right amount of chocolate--not too thick or too thin. It was a huge success, but more importantly, your kindness in making it happen was the greatest part. The entire staff was sincere and helpful. I feel so lucky that I can give my children a taste of home right here in Chicago, thanks to your dedication.

The only thing is that I wish that they had more baked goods on their bakery shelves. Some of the names weren't actually the product behind it. I would have loved to try some basque cheesecake but it looks like it was sold out. I got the tiramisu crepe cake and a brown sugar milk tea. It was Thursday so milk teas are 20% off. I love me some tiramisu and had never seen a crepe cake version. So I got it. It had a strong coffee taste but still creamy and I always enjoy a crepe cake so I think it was nice blend of a tiramisu and crepe cake. The brown sugar milk tea was made to the sugar level I wanted. I wanted 30% so it wasn't clawingly sweet. I'd come back again. It was a positive experience.

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!

Individuals were very kind and the facility very clean. The options of Lattes, bubble teas, fruit teas, slushies, pastries, desserts, coffee, chai teas, etc. it would be nice if they offered soup as an option with the meat soup. 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

But over the past few months I've been there three times, and every time they are sold out of so many breads and pastries... Today I visited around 1 pm hoping to buy a baguette for dinner, and they were sold out. Since they're open until 9 pm, I asked if they were baking any more of them--but I was told once they're sold out, that's it for the day. So... The baguette shop was going to stay open for 8 more hours with no baguettes? Ce n'est pas bon... The pastries we bought today to enjoy onsite were very good--a strawberry mochi donut and a raspberry cream bite. The cream inside the raspberry treat was sublime. I ordered an iced mocha and couldn't finish the second half because it was too dense and sweet. My daughter was happier with her iced matcha. Folks have noted before that this place feels pricey, and that rings true. It feels almost punitively expensive here. All in all this is a pretty little place, but the supply chain clearly can't keep up and the prices are pretty high. It's probably best for early risers and folks looking for a splurge.

It was pretty crowded for Friday morning, so tables were a little limited, but we managed to find a spot and there were plenty of pastries!
