    Oreo bingsu (snow crème)
    David L.

    Made it to CS just in time before they closed today. We were craving a bingsu and our Oreo bingsu really hit the spot. It was chocolaty, smooth and silky. Most importantly not overly sweet. They prepared one order in two to-go cups. Worked out perfectly for us.

    Matcha snow ice

    Fast and refreshing! The owners were also very kind. Love having this place in the neighborhood.

    Stopped in for an iced matcha latte, no one was in line so I was helped right away. Color was nice and earthy flavor came through. What a cute spot with plenty of indoor seating to meet with friends or get some work done. They have 5 different snow créme options there as well- I want to try them next time! Parking- big lot shared with other businesses

    Delicious bingsu comparable to chains like sul and beans but without the wait, crazy parking and loud noise! We had the mango shaved ice and it was delicious. My goal is to try all the flavors by the end of year haha. Cute little mom and pop hidden in a plaza with many parking spots. I'm looking forward to trying their lattes/drinks too!

    Tuna Sandwich
    Angela C.

    Solid cafe in the Oak Park area! I've been to Cafe Sapientia for a Yelp event (their bingsu is quite good), but I surprisingly haven't been back since. I have since realized why - Yelp has this place labeled as "Not a A Good Place for Working", which I personally disagree with. There's actually a decent amount of seating and outlets. Anyways, for my second visit, I ordered an Iced London Fog and a Tuna Sandwich. The tea was okay, pretty average quality for the London Fog. The Tuna Sandwich was actually really good and is something that I would order again. If you are looking for a cafe in the area with good food, drinks, and dessert, and is also a suitable place for getting things done on the computer, give Cafe Sapientia a try!

    Mango snow creme
    Mega S.

    This place is so nice. The snow creme ice is so good! We bought one for to-go, they put it into 2 cups so it's easier to eat. Service was a bit slow considering there were only 4 people working (2 front and 2 in the back) and there were always customers coming in and out. But, overall the service was great, they were very nice. There are a lot of tables for people to hang-out/study/work. Overall, it's a great place to go get desserts. Would definitely come back!

    Tuna Sandwich and matcha latte
    Rachel E.

    Cafe Sapientia is a hidden gem! Tucked away in a quiet Oak Park shopping center, it is very unassuming on the outside. As soon as you walk in, many tables are filled with folks studying, chatting with friends, or just relaxing with a latte. It is a very chill vibe and friendly atmosphere. The baristas are always very friendly and accommodating. The selection of drinks and food options are solid, packed with flavor and variety. I love the tuna sandwich, paninis, herbal teas, and lattes. They also have delicious desserts and baked goods. Every time I come here I always have a positive experience. Highly recommend this local neighborhood spot!

    lox avocado toast, chive and cream cheese taiyaki, iced matcha latte, hazelnut latte
    Reyna J.

    This place absolutely lives up to the good things people have to say about it. We went at about midday on a weekday, and it wasn't too crowded, and everything came out relatively quickly. We got the avocado toast with lox which was excellent, as well as the chive cream cheese taiyaki which was also quite good. Drinks didn't blow us away, but they were both quite solid (matcha latte and hazelnut latte). Not the cheapest, but that's to be expected for the area. Definitely see myself coming back here!

    Matcha is my best! My hubby likes original. Their shaved ice form keeps long time. They are keeping serving bowl in freezer. Their snow powder ice is unbelievably soft. I recommend you to try sweet, good flavor ice melt in your mouth.

    Cinnamon roll and iced coffee
    An B.

    This coffee shop is amazing! I tend to order their iced coffee, which is the best in town. I've also had their cinnamon rolls and taiyaki which are the perfect accompaniment. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the quality of both the drinks and food keeps me coming back. The vibes are definitely of a neighborhood coffee shop; it's a good place to work or just catch up with friends.

    I love this cafe. I never tasted ice cream like this before. It was very unique and extremely good. The Avocado Toast was amazing, full of flora or with a little kick (horseradish). The Taiyaki was wonderful as well. Stuffed with cream cheese and chives and full of flavor. It was pretty busy so service was a little slow but well worth the wait. Everyone was friendly and took their time helping me place my order as I had never had this kind of food before. Tables inside and out were comfortable and accommodating for adults and children. A large menu selection assures something wonderful for everyone. Wonderful food and service will have me coming back for more.

    Most everybody loves a good food truck…read more More than most are all about that delicious dessert that follows. Well imagine having your own personal dessert truck coming directly to you for that private party at a specified time arranged by you and the owners. Well guess what?? Your wildest dreams are about to come true! In the midst of everything going on in the world, we decided to give Kona Ice Thousand Oaks a shot and have them come out to one of our family members residence. The minimum order amount to have them come out was easy to hit, it was for sure less 50 bucks. We were able to select the sizing of our shaved ice's prior to the event and prepay so everything was already settled. On the day of the event, all of the kids and adults patiently waited in the driveway and we all got excited when we saw the Kona Ice truck coming down the street playing some Hawaiian style music. Once they pulled up to the curb, we each stood in line and picked out our flavors (up to two flavors per shaved ice cup). Once we individually ordered, they handed up our shaved ice's following their strict pandemic guidelines. Within about 15 minutes, we all had our shaved ice's in hand and the driver of the Kona Ice said their goodbyes as they headed to their next event. We enjoyed the Kona Ice experience so much, we actually ordered them a couple weeks later. Great idea for kids birthday parties, block parties or just a special treat for the kids in the neighborhood. Thank You Kona Ice Thousand Oaks for bringing some much needed smiles during these unprecedented times.

I found this spot online and headed over and Im glad I did. From the moment I walked in I was greeted by the owners, husband and wife team who immediately made me feel welcome. They were eager to walk me through the menu, offered great suggestions, and were incredibly patient while my brain was still waking up at 9am lol. Their kindness and humor made me feel right at home. This place also feels homey. If you take a moment to look around, you'll notice the personal touches such as the artwork, photos, and thoughtful details that tell a story of their family. Okay Now to get to the good stuff the drinks and bites are stellar, here's what I got: I finally found a seriously addicting chai here in the 805. I'm very picky about chai, so when Robin insisted "you're trying this" so I listened and I'm so glad I did haha. Freshly brewed, no artificial flavors, perfectly spiced. I think I would dub this one of the BEST chai's I've ever had. 10/10. Their classic breakfast bites hit the spot too. I had a breakfast sandwich with crispy bacon and a fresh egg. Simple but good. I'd get this again but also would be open to trying some of their other bites. 8/10. The handmade bakery section here was unreal. The apple pastry I ordered was pure nostalgia and absolutely delicious. I can't wait to come back and try more of their daily baked goods. The selection was huge and lots of different options to try. I think their passionfruit pastry will be calling my name next time. Lastly I leave you with a Fun fact: if you're a football fan or into chess, this is your cafe. Chess tables are available for playing at and it's the perfect morning spot to catch matches over coffee and pastries. Liverpool fans especially welcome here ;) Sorry it took me so long to find this spot but they've got a new fan now!
