    Cafe Blessing is STILL going strong 2.5 months after open. I visited when they opened and it was already crowded! They offer a limited menu of coffee & tea drinks as well as unique flavored scones. Some scone flavors rotate but coffee has stayed rather consistent. I got the Cream Top Latte which had a heavy foam top and creamy coffee mixture throughout. For scones, I ordered the Strawberry, Lemon Earlgrey, & Sweet Corn but also tried the Black Sesame & Oreo. The regular scones were $4.50 and cream scones were $6.50. Each scone was packed with its own unique flavor profile that was spot on to the listed name. Everything tasted fresh and none of the scones were hard. I enjoyed the Strawberry & Lemon Earlgrey the most. I will say that all items were extremely decadent! Overall, this wouldn't be somewhere I could go to all the time but was nice for a special treat. They have plenty of places to sit but it felt like they made the chairs purposefully uncomfortable so people don't linger.

    I really wanted to love this place but it was pretty mid. Located in a plaza, there's plentiful parking. I heard it used to be handsome bakery. Match Duo - Dream top was creamy. More milky than matcha forward than I would have expected for a matcha latte Black Sesame & Corn Scone - Both felt kinda the same where the cream on top or butter kind of held it down. But im not a Scone person Vibes space good to catch up we with friends or cafe date. Shockingly busy kn a Thursday morning All In all, just okay. Def not worth the drive from the city, only if you are nearby.

    We came in expecting more of a Korean-style cafe dessert-and-drink experience rather than a spot focused on amazing coffee or matcha, and that's exactly what it felt like. Their scones are huge, with a big chunk of flavored cream on top. We got four, and honestly the scone base itself tasted pretty similar across the different flavors, so most of the variation really came from the cream. The famous Matcha Duo and Dirty Peanut Butter Latte were both great dessert-style caffeine drinks. Super filling and very delicious. There was a long line on Sunday morning, but the staff worked pretty efficiently. Two flavors were already sold out by 10:50 a.m. Parking was also very easy, with a free lot.

    Wow, get the coffee! I'm shook. Good strong dose, well extracted, and can even tell it's an Ethiopian shot despite the cream top and milk. I can tell someone took the time to dial everything in and they should be recognized! Well executed cream top as well. Despite that precision with coffee, the strawberry matcha fell short ratio and flavor wise. Maybe it was an off day. Still super solid quality coming out of this cafe. Would def come back and recommend.

    The wait here was a bit on the longer side. Also the pastries looked really good but they are actually really hard to eat and not that good. I got the matcha and strawberry ones. The strawberry matcha was really good and I would get that again.

    We ordered: 1. Scones: Black Sesame, Injeolmi, Lemon Earl Grey, Sweet Corn, Choco Matcha, Strawberry 2. Specialty Drinks: Cream Top Latte / Dirty Peanut Cream Latte / Matcha Duo Scones have a nice crumbly structure and satisfying bite that pairs well with caffeine. Most of the scones taste as advertised. Lemon early grey lacks early grey flavor and Choco matcha lacks matcha flavor. Sweet corn flavor is too subtly and needs to be stronger. Happy with the drinks - solid coffee and matcha taste across the three we ordered. Peanut cream latte is good/on the much sweeter, decadent side so would only recommend it for serious sweet tooths. No issues with service. Decent amount of seating for small groups inside but this place is still viral so probably plan to order to-go.

    We came on a Saturday around 10:30 AM and the parking lot was full as was the store. The line was at the door when we arrived but moved quickly. I watched the other customers like a hawk in order to snag a table. However, by the time we left (around 11:30 AM) there was practically no line and there were still plenty of scones available in all varieties. I was excited to try the matcha duo (matcha latte with matcha cream on top) and it was as good as expected. We shared the following scones amongst 3 adults and a tiny human: black sesame, injeolmi, lemon earl grey, sweet corn, choco matcha, and strawberry. I came back another time and also tried the raspberry butter scone. My favorite scone was the lemon earl grey because I liked the lemony flavor but the earl grey wasn't noticeable. The choco matcha was the only one without cream on top and was dry compared to the others and could have had more matcha flavor. In general all of the scones had more flavor with the cream but when eaten without it was lacking flavor. Overall, this is a nice find in the suburbs and different since it specializes in scones if that's up your alley.

    I hate to bring down the mood, but I thought this place was just okay. We are spoiled for choice when it comes to cafes and bakeries around here, and compared to the many other places I frequent, Blessing didn't quite earn a spot in my regular rotation. The first thing to notice is it has a relatively limited menu. One could rather say it has a "specialized" menu. Either way, we were able to try a good number of the scones and drinks on offer. For my tastes, I didn't find anything I tried here to be preferable to my regular haunts. My sister got the Duo Matcha, which I thought was good, but not a revelation like I was expecting from some of these reviews. I got the Cream Top Latte for myself. When they handed it to me, I was advised not to use a straw, and to just sip it from the top. However, the cream top blocked most of the drink coming through, like when you have too much ice and can't get to the liquid, and the liquid that did make it through was pretty bitter. So, contrary to instructions, I stirred everything up with a straw and that made it a lot better. For me, though, it still wasn't my favorite drink, being a bit too sharp and bitter even after stirring. It could totally be a preference thing, as I do prefer my coffee more mellow and sweet (though I don't like a sugar bomb). FYI, you can't sub Oat Milk in this particular drink, in case you were wondering. We also got a bunch of scones to try, and these again were not to my particular taste. As others mentioned, the scones skew dry, crumbly, and hard. I think this is an intentional, stylistic choice, and probably allows for a more consistent product regardless of how long these scones sit out behind the counter. Again, for me, this is just not the texture I like for my scones. To their credit, the scones did each have a distinct flavor profile, so it's not like they were lazy hard lumps. Just not overall what I hope for in a scone. The whipped cream on top was probably the best part, and I think the hard scone texture actually worked okay with the savory scone we tried (Tomato Basil) - it registered as more biscuit-like in the savory profile, and I guess that was less offensive to me somehow. I think the buzz here is mainly thanks to the Instagram aesthetic of the food and drinks. The presentation especially shines if you dine in, because your peanut latte will come in a glass lined with peanut shavings, and your scones will look very cute all together on the tray. That said, I was visiting with a big group, and this place was slammed at opening time on a Saturday morning, so we just took our order to go. There must have been a healthy line waiting at the door before this place even opened at 10am, because we got there pretty much at opening time and it was fairly jam-packed. We probably waited about 20 minutes in line, and to their credit, we got what we ordered very quickly thereafter (with the scones sitting out already made, that probably helps with the turnaround time). Maybe if someone else wants to come here again, I will give it another shot and finally see the light. But for now I am merely satisfied that I was able to try something new.

    I was so determined to get these scones at Cafe Blessing, I came here two weekends in a ROW on a Saturday morning. If you are thinking about going on a weekend, be warned because legit ALL of the scones are out by noon. If you wanna try the scones, get there as soon as they open or go later if you just want drinks. The first time I went, I tried their double matcha and cream top latte. It was so so delicious. However, the second time I went I also got their double matcha. It wasn't as good as the first time? I've been hoping for more cafes in the Chicago land area that had double matcha since LA and NYC have more cafes catered toward that type of drink. Maybe I came on a day where it was busier than usual and there was a line the second time I came. I think the showstopper was the scones! I absolutely loved the scones so much. PSA, scones are usually dry so expect that when you take a bite but the cream was so delicious. We got the sweet corn, strawberry, black sesame, lemon earl grey, and injeolmi scones. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE LEMON EARL GREY AND SWEET CORN. Definitely should not be getting this every week but once in a while it's a nice little sweet treat to try. I wish you were closer, Cafe Blessing but I'll make it out to the suburbs just for this cafe.

    Dirty Peanut Cream Latte (yum) and Strawberry Matcha Latte

    AHHH! What a great addition to Schaumburg! Cafe Blessing replaced Handsome Bakery and brought the vibe of a Korean cafe to Schaumburg. The aesthetic is simple, clean, and modern. Their pastries look absolutely delicious on Instagram. I was bummed they were all sold out, but honestly that just made me more excited to come back! My friends who tried them said they were amazing. I went yesterday with two friends and we tried their signature drinks, including the strawberry matcha latte and the dirty peanut cream latte. The strawberry matcha latte is the best I've had in the suburbs. The strawberry puree tastes fresh and not too sweet! I do wish the matcha flavor were a bit stronger, but that's just my preference as a matcha lover. I personally loved the dirty peanut cream latte- rich and creamy with a nice crunchy texture from the peanut rim. It was pretty crowded when I got there. Since the space isn't very large, it might be hard to find seats if you go after lunch. I arrived around 1:45 PM and got lucky snagging a table for us. I definitely want to go back to try all of their pastries, the cream top latte, and the matcha duo. Such a cute cafe that gives you a little glimpse of what it feels like to be in Korea. I'm thrilled to have this spot in the burbs and can't wait to go back!

    Strawberry scone

    Came here on a weekday with some friends around 11:30AM and it was very lively in this modern, natural sunlight, and light vibe cafe. We were lucky for our friend to come a bit earlier to grab a table because they were no tables. Service: 10/10 I personally think the service here is great. Very polite and caring toward their customers. One of my friend drink order was taken by someone else and one of the employee remade my friend's drink and personally delivered it to our table. Food/Drinks: 8/10 We were all lucky enough to order scones we wanted to try. At our table we had strawberry scone, earl grey scone, milk cream scone, and chocolate matcha scone. We all thought the scone was a bit too dry, pretty difficult to eat with wooden utensils, and it's very messy. The cream on top of the scone is what makes the scone and brings you back to the cafe. Cream: Strawberry was perfect flavor, creamy, and not too sweet. Earl grey was our favorite cream flavor. It was perfection. Chefs kiss. Milk cream flavor tastes like vanilla ice cream which was surprisingly a good touch. I did bring 2 scones home for my mom to try. I ordered the black sesame and Injeolmi scone. If you love black sesame, you will like the black sesame. For me it was too powerful and too much. The Injeolmi is a different story. Absolutely perfect with the red bean. That was our favorite. Drinks: Majority of us ordered the strawberry matcha. They only have oat milk as an alternative milk option and it's limited to certain drinks because a lot of their speciality drinks already have milk premade into their drinks. So if you are lactose and tolerant, bring your medication to try the delicious drinks. Atmosphere: 8/10 Pro: I love the cafes set up and bringing something different to Schaumburg location. The natural sunlight brings warmth and happiness while enjoying your delicious scones and drink. WiFi information is on the menu at the front which I found very clever. Con: it's very loud depending on the day of the week and time you come. The tables are small for group study sessions or just group gathering unless you get lucky to combine tables together. There are no outlets so be prepared and have all your electronics fully charged prior to coming. Overall, great cafe addition to the Schaumburg location bringing the Korean cafe vibe. I could see myself coming here once in a while.

    Blown away by the drinks. They are pricey for the suburbs ($8) but in my opinion are priceless perfection. The double matcha is ideal - smooth & creamy, with strong matcha flavor and just the right amount of sweetness. You could taste every component because it was balanced. My sister correctly described the cream top latte as tasting like tiramisu. Another simply sensational sip. The scones are gorgeous and overall worth trying. Don't know if I'd get 3 next time because they are $6.50 a piece. I'd recommend getting the lemon earl grey because it has a tasty glaze in addition to the cream on top. The employees seemed happy to be there and the space was immaculately clean. Drinks came fast at 12 pm on a Thursday.

    It was a busy Saturday morning at Cafe Blessing, but the experience was a bit disappointing due to their limited selection. Their espresso machines were down, so I wasn't able to try the single-origin latte, and they were also completely out of baked goods during my visit. I had been looking forward to a scone, but the cases were empty. I opted instead for a hot matcha latte, which turned out to be fairly run-of-the-mill, and the Matcha Duo. While the Duo was creamy and smooth, the drink had sat on the counter for quite a few minutes, if it was served immediately upon it was done, the drink would of been a 5 out of 5 in my books. As for the atmosphere, the space is a standard modern setup with white walls and wooden furniture; it's clean, but it lacks a certain unique characteristic or charm. It's a fine spot in a pinch, but the service hiccups and generic vibe left me wanting more.

This cafe does so many things right, starting with the spacious parking lot located in a large strip mall, which makes stopping by very convenient. Inside, the dining room is bright, elegant, and welcoming, and the staff has been consistently friendly and kind. During my first visit, my friend and I ordered for dine-in, and I immediately appreciated the thoughtful details. The ordering counter displays a variety of freshly made pastries and bakery items that are very tempting. My drink was served in a real glass, and my food came out hot on an actual plate with a fork. I love places that make dining in feel intentional and special rather than treating it like takeout. I ordered the spinach Turkish bread ($8.75), and it completely exceeded my expectations. It was generously filled with spinach, cheese, and garlic, and the flavor was outstanding. You could tell it was freshly made and homemade. Just writing this review is making me crave it again. I also ordered an iced caramel macchiato ($6.25), which had a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness and paired really well with my food. One downside is that the dining room is not very large, so tables are close together. As it got busier during our visit, I became a bit uncomfortable because I could clearly hear the conversation at the table next to us, which meant they could hear ours, as well. It is something to keep in mind if you plan to stay. Because of this, I now usually order my drink to go. Overall, I am extremely impressed with this cafe. It has quickly become one of my favorite spots for both food and coffee, and I will absolutely continue coming back.

Since my main goal was to have a great dessert, I reversed my thought process and started looking for the best dessert restaurants that happened to be near excellent savory food as well. This led me to discovering Melt N Dip. While most dessert spots have a display case of locally bought bakery items, or a small set of options made in-house, Melt N Dip goes overboard with a huge selection of crepes, cookies, waffles, cake, gelato, milkshakes, fresh fruit, cheesecake, and more! This is incredible for someone like me who gets easily tired of monotony, since I can make many visits here and try something new each time with friends. The restaurant is on a great spot, close to the main road but far away from the H-Mart to avoid cross traffic. There's plenty of parking, and the restaurant itself is large, with very comfortable seating, and social media worthy decor. Service is quick and friendly, and prices may look a little high -- but once you see the size of the product and the quality of ingredients used, and the freshness of the fruit -- you'll realize that the value provided here is much better than similar items that you may get elsewhere. On this trip, I was able to try the Brownies Magic and Melt N Dip waffle. Both were excellent in their own way. The brownie was super soft and decadent, full of chocolate flavor. The gelato was smooth, creamy, flavorful and very refined. The fresh strawberries helped to tame down the overall sweetness of the dish, which was anchored by a base of delicious milk chocolate. The milk, dark, and white chocolate on top helped to tie everything together with a great burst of flavor and nice consistency. The waffle was maybe even the bigger surprise - as this came on a huge plate with lots of fresh pineapple, bananas, strawberries, and kiwi. One of my favorite things to do when on a cruise boat is to have fresh fruit with waffles, and this was an elevated version of that experience. Though the waffle wasn't really crisp, it accomplished exactly what it needed to by holding a generous amount of milk, dark, and while chocolate to pair with the fresh fruit. This was a phenomenal combination that has made me question if I'll ever look at similar options at a fondue spot or fancy brunch the same again. Overall, phenomenal desserts at a reasonable price. The fresh fruit and chocolate quality really shines and I have full confidence that everything else they serve here will match the same level of quality. This is a must return spot for me that is worth a special trip whenever I'm craving quality, consistency, and an impressive dessert experience.
