This was a cherished experience!!!…read more Welcome to the neighborhood!! This establishment has been up and running for 4 months, and will be opening up 2 more locations. If you are into a cozy, I am home-like, close neighborhood esthetic coffee shop..THIS IS IT!! Amazing, Amazing, amazing! From the comfy couches and chairs. The warm lights and its rustic fixtures, to the selection of eats and sips, this spot has something for everyone! Every space, every corner has personality. It truly felt like I was visiting a great aunt in her stunning home living space. I was WELCOME HERE! A coffee lovers delight. A tea drinkers pleasure. And even for the lemonade drinker, there are choices to fit your pallet. There was so much to choose from. I selected a drink from their special January menu. It was called "Snowday". This sip had espresso, white chocolate, coconut, and cheesecake cold foam! It was perfect for a chilly day as today. I tried to sip as slow as I could to savor it all, but my mug was empty sooner than I anticipated. I followed up with a regular drip coffee (those have free refills). I was with company, and they ordered a decaffeinated coffee with oatmeal, and a cappuccino. The reports were that "the sips were good". There was another order of a Italian Berry Refresher. This drink scored high on the yum card as well. We sat for hours in a wonderful space, where I met wonderful people. Those in whom I spoke with report that are happy this establishment is in the neighborhood! No love lost to Starbucks and Dunkin, they have their place in the world. But, if I can be biased with my review and encourage all to stop in to this lovely spot-scurry and hurry. Lol Fun fact: Friday nights, there is a 21 and up situation that gathers in the back of this space. Live music, adult sips are available, and good times are reported. Wow! I made a mental note to check this scene out after hours on Fridays. Live music? Sign. Me. Up! Big thanks to Marion and Saaniya (I Hope I got the spelling right). These 2 dolls were working behind the bar/register making the magic happen. So kind. Friendly, and attentive! Marion answered all my questions and was very insightful and helpful! This place has depth. This place has a voice. This place has a story, this place softly speaks "come inside, there is so much to share and enjoy.." If you stop in, notice the paintings on the wall. An artist that lives upstairs painted them, and they are for sale. How cool huh? This place is a gem inside a gem, inside a gem. And to think, I literally woke up, googled "coffee places near me" and this place landed in my lap! You don't have to believe me, go get you some!

They are in a great location right near the train in downtown Flossmoor and they have lots of comfy seating. The staff are super friendly and seem to have good relationships with the regulars who stop in. They are really attentive and make a great latte. The holiday specials that are on right now are also worth a try! I just heard that the cafe has live jazz on Friday and Saturday night! They offer wine and other drinks later in the day so I'm looking forward to returning to see them operate in the evening.

This was a very nice coffee shop ... one of maybe a dozen or so new ones that have opened up in…read moreOrland Park/Tinley Park area. The coffee selections are numerous, and you can get them on the strong side or a bit weaker. They also have a number of pastries that can delight your taste buds ... the only glitch we saw was that they did not have a large selection of croissants. For example, we could not get just a plain croissant. But even given that, this was a very nice coffee stop for those that really like good coffee. The dining room was nice and large, with many different sections to settle into with your coffee. Loads of outlets to plug in your lap top if you come with one for a little work. Staff was very friendly, and it is pretty much an order at the counter and get your coffee. They don't need a large staff to run this place, as it pretty much runs itself other than the coffee-master. Give this place a try.

Sourdough bread loaves are available, but the chocolate sourdough loaves must be ordered three days in advance-but trust me, it's delicious and well worth the wait! (Chocolate bread can be ordered by phone.) I also tried the egg, bacon and cheese breakfast sandwich, it was tasty and quite filling.

Soup of the day was poblano pepper. And yes it was amazing. My fiancée ordered the chorizo con papa. I ordered the jalapeño cheddar. Both were great and flavorful. Bread was perfect. We also both ordered macchiatos, which were BOLD. Well enjoyed. Before we could go we ordered some treats Togo... which were just as you can expect GREAT. The frosted honey bun and cinnamon roll. They also have a rack of day old bread/treats which are discounted. Do not cheat yourself and miss out on trying all the greatness this place offers. I plan to update yelp with my next menu tryouts. This bakery has a small menu but usually that's a good thing. Also, the flavors for coffee are made from scratch as advertised.

Service is very good here as everyone knows exactly what they are doing and they are trained very well. The dining room is expansive and can seat many customers ... and that is a good thing since there is usually a line and the parking lot is full.

Kids are welcome and families are all over the place ... all adding to the noise levels. They also serve brunch and do that just as well as breakfast. Food wise ... what can you say about eggs, or French toast, or pancakes that hasn't been said before? They bring off all these treats very well and they do it very fast. You won't be sitting around waiting for your meal. While just off the beaten path over here on Oak Park Avenue, do make a point of trying this place out. Very good all around.

It was very clean here, and welcoming service. Pretty busy too. Booths were roomy.

Food came out in a jiffy and wow - the portions here were great! We loved all of the food, and I really enjoyed my omelet - because it was huge, plenty of eggs too, and a very hearty breakfast. They make banana bread here and sell it by the loaf - well I had to get some. Took that puppy home and put it in the freezer. After a week or so we took it out - and it was excellent! Not as good as my mom's but it's still very good, and I highly recommend it. Not too sweet, large loaf, and I got enough banana flavor too.

Their gluten-free toast is excellent. I will definitely go back. I had trouble once again, however, with basic communication and it certainly wasn't on my end. I wanted the breakfast taco special but asked for a side of gluten-free toast instead of the corn tortillas as it was described (I don't like corn tortillas). I was told they "aren't allowed to make modifications," which actually makes no sense. First of all, you're basically telling the customer they can't have the simple and sensible modification they're asking for and that's not OK. So, knowing how people in this part of the country are with understanding things, I said fine and asked to just make it without the tortillas... because apparently asking for a side of toast was too much information to put together. Well, that was confusing too. Not surprised. So, finally I just ordered the darn dish exactly as it was described and said, "OK, I will just scrape the eggs off the tortillas." Meaning HELLO, you're making the customer work to do something easy you seem to not be able to do. Eventually, another person came over (the manager?) and suggested they turn the breakfast taco special into a sandwich with gluten-free toast. I was dumbfounded. I've been in Illinois for 11 years (married) and people out here are just very slow to put information together. I don't get it and it's actually pretty alarming. So, anyway, the manager (?) finally suggested that they "could just make it without tortillas and bring me a side of toast." I was like YEP. That is exactly how I ordered it the first time. Welcome to the Midwest. But anyway, they walked away like I was the problem. Again, I've been dealing with this out here for years. Most people have no idea what's going on and they make everything more complicated.
