I missed my train in the morning so…read moreinstead of punishing myself and getting all mad, I treated myself to a brown butter latte and a cranberry orange scone. After all it is a Friday! There are many things on the winter menu that I would love to try next time I am back. The scone was huge and very flavorful. And the brown butter latte was a nice warm treat on a cold Chicago morning. The employees behind the counter were nice and friendly and helped me decide my drink for the morning. It was between the miso caramel latte or the brown butter latte, and I went with the brown butter. Nice chill coffee spot with great options. They have a nice cozy couch in the front and heard they have a nice big sitting area in the back that I didn't have time to check out. Til next time!

Same industrial feel inside with lots of seating and work space. Great as a remote working space or a meeting with friends. Expansive menu. All of the usuals for such a craft coffee shop but they also have a great selection pastries, some of which are vegan and gluten free. They've even got the ingredients for each item posted on the side of the display. Their website and social media is very backdated. I couldn't find anything recent in terms of their current menu in order to plan ahead before coming but the woman behind the register was very helpful.

TLDR - The Black Forest Coffee drink is great!…read more Full Review First to note: I'm a big coffee person and love drinking my coffee black in the morning. I will almost always pick black coffee over lattes, cappuccinos, and other classic combinations that would potentially mask the flavor notes of good quality coffee. The exceptions are specialty coffee drinks that have some unique combination of ingredients (aside from just different syrup flavors). But even then, I admit I'm a bit wary of having tried many cafes where these specialty drinks end up being too sweet. I've passed by Cherry & Coffee Cafe many times in Hawthorn mall in the past without giving it a second thought because of the very thing I mentioned above - likening it to cafes with overly sweet drinks. On this particular day, which happened to be Father's Day, I was in the area and looking for something caffeinated in the afternoon. I happened to glance at Cherry & Coffee Cafe's menu on google and saw something called "Black Forest Coffee", which was described as being made with chocolate syrup and maraschino cherries. This sounded intriguing enough that I ventured over to give it a shot. It somehow didn't click in my mind that this wasn't black coffee (I had interpreted/misread the description as having notes of chocolate and cherry). It finally hit me when I was ordering my drink and the barista asked me which milk I wanted (it's also quite possible I got confused because "coffee" was in the name instead of "latte"). I decided to go ahead with my order anyway since I had already made the trip over. Long story short, I was VERY surprised that the Black Forest Coffee drink was both not too sweet and quite good! My wife is especially picky with sugar levels (think Kung Fu Tea's milk tea with 0% sugar because she thinks the boba already adds enough sugar) and even she enjoyed it. So thanks to this happy accident, I think I will be back in the future to try their other offerings!

Some customers were there to socialize and others were camped out to work from their laptops. I snagged the second-to-last table when I arrived, and the last table was claimed a minute later. In addition to coffee, lattes, cappuccino and other similar drinks, Tala offers a small section of muffins and pastries as well as a small lunch menu. I'd love to go back and try a sandwich with my next latte. The location is odd, in an industrial area off the beaten path.

Simply the Best: A Love Letter to Scooter's Coffee Mundelein!…read more If you're looking for the absolute crown jewel of Mundelein, look no further. I have been a loyal customer here since day one, and I can honestly say that my life has been significantly more caffeinated--and much happier--ever since they opened their windows! Why This Place is Pure Magic: * Lightning-Fast Service: I don't know how they do it, but the speed here is legendary. Whether the line is empty or wrapped around the building, you'll have a steaming (or icy!) cup of perfection in your hand before you can even finish picking your playlist. * The Ever-Evolving Menu: I love that they never let things get stale. Their rotating menus keep every visit feeling like a fresh adventure. There is always a creative, seasonal surprise waiting to be discovered. * Innovation in a Cup: They are constantly rolling out new drinks that I didn't even know I needed. From their signature Caramelicious to the latest limited-time fruit infusions, the flavor profiles are always spot-on and ahead of the curve. The Heart of the Operation Beyond the beans, it's the people that make this location truly special. The owners are absolutely wonderful--you can tell they truly care about the Mundelein community and take immense pride in what they've built. And the staff? They are the sunshine of my mornings! Always wearing the biggest smiles, incredibly polite, and they handle the morning rush with a level of grace and positivity that is honestly inspiring. Bottom Line: If you haven't been to the Mundelein Scooter's yet, you are missing out on the best part of the day. 10/10, five stars, and a huge thank you to the team for keeping me fueled all these years!

When you walk in, there's a case for pastries and coffees, and you walk straight for all the entrees. You order first, and they'll bring the food out to you. We couldn't decide between a few things before we ended up with the osso Buco and the nonna's lasagna. The osso buco was delish, it did take a little while to come out but the flavors were great. The risotto was a tad underdone, but again the flavors were SO good. The lasagna needed something for a little crunch, but overall the flavors were fine. We also were recommended the garlic bread, I didn't really taste the garlic, and the Gorgonzola was a bit over powering for the pieces of toast but a great app to share. We tried a few different Italian drinks, I wanted to try the peach tea but they were sold out. Next time! We wrapped up our meal we got some gelato. We did a mix of half raspberry and half vanilla. That vanilla gelato was so good I'm still thinking about it. Overall we had a great time, parking was easy, staff was great, and food was good.

One of my favorite things in the world is Taro so getting a Taro freeze with boba and clear jelly sounds like heaven to me. This is exactly what I got and it was delicious! It wasn't too cold and while there was boba, it didn't overpower the drink itself and neither did the jelly. As expected, this place is overpowered by little youngins with a sweet tooth but I can't blame them. It's not like they made the wait any more longer or shorter. The customer service was good and quick, nothing to complain about. I will continue to come here when I have a boba itch. I've also tried their bingsu which was also really good but....alot. It's packed with red beans which are sweet and delicious, ice cream and fresh fruit. I know for a fact, I cannot finish it on my own so I suggest sharing it with someone else. Other than that, it is certainly a delectable and yummy dessert. Highly recommend. Overall, I will continue to keep coming back here for you Lincolnshire/BG locals, I would encourage you to do the same. Prices are decent and your sweet tooth will be satisfied for sure!

It was busy but not real busy. We were sat right away by an older gentleman who acted like the owner but was maybe just a great host. Very nice guy. Our waiter had just showed up to work at 9 and it took a while to get our orders in. That was the only downside. 4 of us ordered. 3 of us did the banana nutella crepes. 2 had the nuts removed. I ordered a more classic breakfast. Our kids inhaled the crepes. My wife had to give some away to our son. I ate all of mine. I liked how the jelly/jam came out of a bottle. It was so easy to spread on the english muffin. It's the small things. I think the owner/host noticed the long wait in the beginning and comp'd us our drinks. We appreciated that. This will be our annual Easter breakfast given the lack of wait and the great food.
