Service was fairly quick, and there's decent seating inside, perfect for catching up with friends or relaxing solo with a drink. We tried the karak chai, which was super flavorful and refreshing, and the madras coffee -- which honestly stole the show! It tastes just like authentic filter coffee from India, rich and perfectly balanced. The bun with malai and honey was light, fluffy, and paired perfectly with our drinks -- a simple but absolutely delicious snack. Definitely recommend this spot if you love authentic chai or South Indian-style coffee -- a true hidden gem worth visiting!

I also got a mango refresher. -karak cheesesteak 5 - it is so difficult trying to find a good place that makes cheesesteaks. The one by me skimps on the meat. However, here as in the picture, you can see they were very generous with the meat. The meat was very tender and flavorful. I like that they put their own spin on the sandwich with their spices. Not spicy. -grilled tandoori chicken sandwich 5 - I gobbled this up within minutes. The chicken was very succulent. The spices and the sauce made it very tasty. -mango refresher 5 - very refreshing drink. Good size cup.

Bought some breakfast at this cafe in North Aurora. Cafe Del Sol is a Mexican owned coffee shop…read morewith a menu mostly of hot drinks but a few things to eat at breakfast. It has a pretty simple layout with a modern and clean interior. Has about what one would expect. There's horchata, bagels, and more. An unassuming place in a strip mall full of boring services like tax assistance. It's easy to overlook it. The menu has a Mexican theme going on. Has okay prices but not the best of course. It's about $5 to get a latte. Then add a bit more for non dairy milks. It's about $3 for a bagel. They have a limited amount of flavors and spreads. For sure we could come here again. It's closed Mondays. They close pretty early which is the only bad thing.

The matcha flavor was excellent rich, smooth, and consistent from start to finish. It's the kind of drink you can enjoy at your own pace without the flavor fading The staff was very friendly and attentive. One of the employees appeared to be in training, but the service was still great overall. In addition to their drinks, they also offer a selection of food items on the menu, which is a nice option if you're looking for a snack or light bite. The location has convenient parking and a drive-thru as well.

SERVICE (drive-thru): My second time visiting Fusion Social in as many months, I was once again…read moreleft stranded in a drive thru lane that claimed to be open but failed to initiate contact with me or respond to my attempts to initiate contact. Ten minutes later, as I'm driving past the drive thru windows to park and go in, I notice both windows were covered entirely on the inside with paper. When I greeted the barista inside and inquired about the drive thru, I was assured the drive thru was open. No explanation was offered as to why there was no response to my presence in the drive thru lane. SERVICE (inside): I ordered a Bloom & Buzz (hot) latte. There was a four top of guests already seated and waiting for their order when I paid for mine. 20 minutes later, with the four top now served, the barista picked up a plastic cup and proceeded to make an iced coffee drink. Upon completing the process, she took the cup and walked out of my direct line of sight, standing behind a pole with only her hair visible to me. After standing there for a minute or so, she returned to the counter and started to address me. I approached the counter to better hear what she was saying. She explained that she was unable to make my hot latte because the hot coffee machine was down. When I pointed out that she had just served three of the four customers ahead of me a hot coffee, she said, "yeah, but those took hot water.". She went on to ask if it was okay if she made me an iced latte instead. Having already waited more than 20 minutes inside at this point, I said that was fine. She then reached to her side (where she'd previously hid), grabbed the iced coffee I'd watched her make before the claims of the broken machine and handed it to me. Instead of owning the fact that she'd mistakenly made an iced latte instead of the hot one I'd ordered, she'd chosen to cover what was an innocent mistake with a lie. I told her as much and left. AMBIANCE: This is a darling little cafe. If the service hadn't been so atr, I'd have enjoyed drinking my coffee there. COFFEE: Way too sweet for my liking. If I were to go back, which I won't, I'd order my next one half-sweet.

This was my first time here and my last. I took the coffee she fixed and my pastry and walked out. The overall ambience it's a nice coffee shop.

Oak + Bean source their own coffee beans to create a wide variety of coffee types and flavors. Browsing the list, there were plenty of offerings that intrigued me to come back more than once. They also offer teas, snacks, baked goods, and other soft drinks. If those aren't enough, they double as an evening wine bar offering all wine types, mimosas, and some beers. I loved the murals all over inside and elevated design otherwise. They have monthly events to engage the community. Loved stopping by Oak + Bean and would certainly come back when passing through the area. Tip: Wine Happy Hour is M-F, 4-6pm!
