It has a strong and rich coffee taste. You can also taste the cardamom and cinnamon. It wasn't too sweet. The Araysi drink was also good. It is mango smoothie with Vimto drizzle. The basbusa cheesecake was not sweet and delicious. The place was clean. The cafe is pretty big. They have plenty of tables and chairs for customers to hang out and chat. The staff was friendly and nice. They also have a drive-thru. It would be convenient for people who want coffee to go. I would definitely go back to try their other pastries and drinks.

I walked in and said hi to the crew, no one said anything (wondered if I was not loud enough? ) Took no joke 15 min to finally get my drinks I was on the run and just passing through Aurora so i was somewhat inpatient. I like the industrial vibe with a plenty of natural light and seating options. It's a place conducive for computer work or a social meet up. Drinks are average.

I love stopping in for a Turkish coffee or pistachio latte. The Turkish coffee is rich, aromatic, and pleasantly intense, while the pistachio latte is smooth and creamy with just enough nutty sweetness to keep it from feeling overly sugary. The shop is always clean, bright, and welcoming, and the staff are consistently friendly, attentive, and accommodating. Great drinks, great atmosphere, and genuinely good service. And honestly, once you've had a Turkish coffee or pistachio latte here, Starbucks starts feeling a little... pedestrian.

I recently visited Qmaria Yemeni Coffee on Westbrook Drive and had a wonderful experience. The…read moreplace has a cozy and welcoming vibe, with a warm aroma of freshly brewed coffee .The staff was friendly and helpful in explaining the menu. I decided to try The Mufawaar that had a deep rich flavor with just the right balance of spices . It had a unique twist compared to regular coffee. It felt smooth and comforting, something that stands out from the usual coffee shop drinks. But the presentation was good . Along with the coffee , I ordered a Ferrero Tiramisu pastry, which was a real treat. It was soft, layered beautifully, and had just the right touch of sweetness without being heavy. The chocolate and hazelnut flavors paired perfectly with the coffee, making it a delightful combination. I liked the coffee mugs they used I really liked about this place is how it blends traditional Yemeni coffee culture with a modern café feel. This place is spacious enough to sit and relax.

We were looking for a local coffee and donut shop before visiting my girlfriend's grandma and…read morestumbled across this place tucked between Little Pop's Pizza and New China. It was bright, clean, and busy on an early Saturday morning, with a friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. We ordered a box of four donuts along with a Triple Mocha and a Caramel Latte. The total came to $30.92 after tax... ouch. Our coffees couldn't have been more different. The Triple Mocha was smooth, rich, and full of chocolate flavor without being overly sweet. The Caramel Latte, however, tasted oddly synthetic with a slightly burnt finish. If I'd tried them blind, I wouldn't have guessed they came from the same shop. I was happy; she was disappointed. The donuts were fresh, dense, and clearly made with quality ingredients. They were good (not great) cake donuts, but not quite memorable enough to justify the premium price tag. Overall, we enjoyed the experience more than we didn't, and Grandma loved the coffee cake donuts we brought her. The atmosphere, service, and Triple Mocha stood out, while the inconsistent coffee and steep pricing held it back a bit. We'd come back to try their brunch or a few different donuts, though based on this first visit, I don't expect our overall impression to change much. 3.5/5

I also ordered a pastry, that was fine. When I returned to tell the cashier the extra hot coffee was cold she walked to the kitchen and asked if she could give me a free hot coffee. Just wow. 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. But I am not sure who owns it they just need to do better overall with attentiveness to your clients.

Parking was a…read morebut difficult as there is only a lot in the back of the building but the extra effort is very much worth it. 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!

We stopped my this place on a Saturday morning to get coffee. I want to start off by saying that…read morethe caffeine content in the coffee here is not super high, so if someone is looking for coffee to wake them up, this is not the place. This is more of a desert coffee place. I got the Sand dune coffee since it was so highly recommended. I think it was too sweet for my liking. My husband got the pistachio latte and this one was the BEST pistachio latte I have had in a long time. I asked them what sauce they use and was told that they don't disclose the source of their ingredients. The place was pretty and cute, lots of seating options. The host let me sample some of their Adani Chai which was delicious! The drinks are pricey though! Two coffee drinks shouldn't cost like a meal but oh well. I may come back again for the pistachio latte.

One of Aurora's (Chicago Suburbs) Best Boba Tea Spots!…read more After traveling around the world and tasting boba from Taiwan to Singapore, I can confidently say that Vannie House in Aurora delivers some of the best tapioca pearls I've had in the U.S. The pearls are perfectly chewy, fresh, and absolutely on par with the quality I've experienced in top-tier Asian tea shops. One thing I really appreciate is the tapioca-to-drink ratio. Most boba shops either overload you with pearls or drown everything in too much liquid. Vannie House nails the balance, every sip and scoop feels intentional and well crafted. I tried several drinks on my visit: M9 (modified with Thai Tea) -- Smooth, flavorful, and extremely well blended. A3 Orange Peach with Black Tea -- Sweet, refreshing, and surprisingly layered in flavor. Hot Chai Tea -- Rich, warm, and incredibly smooth. Easily one of the best chai teas I've had at any boba shop. The interior decor is also a standout, clean, modern, cozy, and aesthetically designed. It's the kind of place you actually want to sit and enjoy your drink rather than rush out. Huge shoutout to Niko, whose recommendations were absolutely on point. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, exactly the kind of service that keeps you coming back. If you're in Aurora and looking for high-quality boba tea, Vannie House (my #47 Boba Tea Spot) is a must-try. I'll 100% be returning whenever I'm in the area.

The weird part was asking if i had a punch card and when i said no they didn't offer me one either? Either way, i got the taro strawberry smoothie and a hazelnut iced coffee. Neither of us enjoyed the drinks because they're very syrup heavy resulting in a drink that's wayyyyy too sweet. It just tastes like drinking concentrated syrup and powder blended/mixed with milk. Barely tasted any taro. Having some real ingredients like frozen strawberries with taro powder is what I'd expect at this price point. Not both ingredients being powdered and syrups. The tapioca itself was really good, soft and not too chewy. But there's just way too much of it, you're eating boba more than enjoying a drink. The brown sugar syrup that the boba sits in doesn't help with the additional sweetness in the drink. Wouldn't recommend for real drinks

At first I was skeptical because this wasn't a Mexican restaurant and those places usually have the best Horchata. I was pleasantly surprised, the Horchata from Candy Cloud was outstanding. My daughter and her friend each ordered some sort of coconut lemonade drinks which they added boba and cold foam to. They said they loved their drinks as well. Service was fast and friendly. I'll definitely return and maybe try out a coffee drink next time.

Great drink options and decent snacks too but I haven't landed on something I really like just yet…read more First time I stopped in I got the Golden Hour Breve and it was pretty good but still a little bit too much on the sweet side for me. On my second trip I brought my nieces along who were super excited because they had seen some of the drinks on TikTok. One got a golden hour breve which she really enjoyed except that she went against my advice and asked for extra drizzle and vanilla bean cold foam so the bottom of the drink was just like concentrated sweetness. The other one got an iced milk tea with the brown sugar boba and vanilla bean cold foam and was "in heaven" with how good the drink was according to her. I got the seasonal horchata latte for myself and it was a decent take on the drink and worth trying but I think I preferred the golden hour breve. My nieces also tried the chocolate chip cookie and cinnamon sugar donut bites with caramel sauce. They liked the cookies but thought they'd be more warm/fresh out of the oven. They loved the donut bites with that tasty caramel sauce though. I think I might give the pretzel bites option a try next time I stop in. The shop has a really clean look and feel. It's pretty hands off with kiosk ordering and digital menus but when the staff did interact with customers they were friendly. Unless you're going to be downing your drink quickly I would suggest ordering extra ice when it's warmer out. Both times I ordered I noticed my ice was gone pretty quickly. I know it's a normal thing that happens when you have hot coffee or boba syrup mixing with iced elements but just thought I'd mention it to give a heads up to others.

Even when I arrived by bike, it took me a few minutes to locate it. Their signs are small. Glad I found it though. The barista's and staff here are friendly and helpful. They don't make the exact drink that I prefer, but they did manage to concoct something that actually tasted better. Next time I'm there I'll have to ask what they did so that I can whip it up at home. They have a good deal of sandwiches and pastries in addition to their drink menu, and plenty of seating space. I'll be back. Cheers.
