    Chicken and Waffle-Bono*
    Anneliese V.

    WE WERE SERVED RAW CHICKEN!!!! We didn't have the best experience the first time. It had been some time and we were willing to try it again. Come to find out one of our carry out meals had uncooked chicken. Disappointed is an understatement.

    CFS is a hidden gem coffee cafe located in Oak Brook. My first time here and it was really nice. I like the Colombian Vibe and decor. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The vibes are chilled and relaxing. The seating area has small tables or couch area to sit back and relax while sipping on your drink. They even offer acai bowls, breakfast options, sandwiches and salads. They have only 2 sizes Medium & Large. It's ridiculous that the medium is the size of a small. Straight rip off. I paid close to $8.00 for this little cup. Shame on them. Plus, I was charged extra for the flavor syrup that was added to my latte. The space is really calm and peaceful. Service was nice. The latte was ok. I couldn't really taste the flavor that was added. I will give it another chance and come back.

    Pistachio latte
    Bethany J.

    Stopped by for a takeout order of their arepa de choclo, beef empanada, and pistachio iced coffee. I loved the sauce that the beef empanada came with. It was a garlicky mayo sauce- very good! The choclo was so good! I loved the hint of sweetness from the corn, but it was well balanced by the cheese. My favorite drink is the pistachio latte! I do wish I was able to stay for the cute mugs. I did see that they are selling the mugs, so I have to look into it!!

    Great atmosphere, Amazing Coffee, good service. Very nice place to go for coffee, pastries, a meeting and to get work done. Empanadas are terrific.

    Pumpkin Latte
    B G.

    I was in the area and was looking to try something new. I saw this on Yelp so decided to try it. At first I couldn't find the place because it's on the opposite side of the parking lot where I entered. The place is very nice and clean. You don't order from a human you have to order from an electronic panel, sorry not sure what you call it. I dislike having to order from there because you can't ask it questions. I ordered the Pumpkin Latte and then it shows you options for milk, etc. One of the options was pumpkin for .75 so I was confused on whether I should add it because I was already ordering pumpkin. ‍ The latte was just ok. It was kind of bland or perhaps I personally missed adding something to it. Their food choices looked good. The employee there was very nice.

    Stopped into CFS for a quick coffee! I didn't realize they had a full menu with breakfast and lunch. I'll have to come by and check out some more items! The decor is cute and cozy and the staff was friendly.

    Cute atmosphere and lots of seating. I really like the booth seats - comfy cushions and pillows. They offer some food items such as sandwiches, arepas and pastries. The arepas looked good but the pastries didn't seem that appetizing. I just came for the coffee. I love ordering lattes with the hopes of a creamy and smooth blend of milk/espresso and some latte art but sadly, just foam with cinnamon sprinkled on top. I ordered it with soy milk and it's just a clumpy hot mess on top of steamed milk and espresso. The taste was at least decent and the mugs they use are adorable. The server was friendly. I spent $8 ($1 tip) for my small latte. I'm glad I tried it but I don't plan to come back.

    Strawberry matcha latte
    Jessie A.

    I've had their Dulce de leche cappuccino which is pretty good but today I tried their strawberry matcha and was very disappointed with it. It was low quality matcha and the strawberry was very mild.

    Started the week off with a Hot Lavender Latte from CFS Coffee! The inside was quite spacious and menu looked to offer a wide variety of food and drinks. I asked the staff member if he would recommend a Lavender or Rose latte and Lavender won! My drink only took a couple of minutes to make. I really enjoyed the flavor and temperature of my drink. Pricing was a tad high but my latte did have a pretty milk design! Overall, I would definitely stop back when in the area for work to try other latte flavors as well as a breakfast sandwich!

    The inside was clean. Lots of seating inside. Service was on the slow side. I ordered an iced lavender latte and it was very weak.

    Vibe- Cozy coffee shop with very nice artwork all around on the walls! Customer service- Great! Food/drinks- I got a matcha latte and a slice of banana bread; they were both delicious! Parking- There's a good amount of spots in the lot

    My fiancée and I enjoy visiting coffee shops on the weekend. This was one we've never visited before. First impressions, I always focus on parking, and it's definitely not an issue. Check! It's bigger on the inside with plenty of seating. It's very open with a coffee house-type feel. They have a wide variety of coffee and tea with an assortment of bread and muffins. The gentleman at the counter was very friendly. After our order, we took a number and found a seat. I ordered the mocha cappuccino, which he created a nice design on top (as seen in the photo). The muffin was chocolate chip, and it was delicious. The gentleman working the front counter was alone, so he was pretty busy. I think we waited ~10 minutes. Overall, I recommend, and I definitely would return.

    Great ambience! Ordered a white mocha and cheese arepa - the mocha was chocolate heavy but otherwise good. The arepa was a nice consistency, and I enjoyed the sweet corn taste. Service was a little slow, but friendly. Good place to read, work, or meet up with friends.

    First and foremost - everyone I interacted with was SUPER KIND, and I really liked some aspects of…read morethe experience. But for a premium price, I expect premium product, and this place is rough around the edges in ways that feel easy to fix. I'm pointing them out in hopes they'll be corrected. First the positive - the food was pretty good. Not great for the price, but pretty good. Drip coffee was better than most diners/cafes in the area. The ambience was pleasant. Here's the issues. 1. The furniture needs a refresh and I don't think the place has even been open that long. The side tables by the window are losing their finish - a fragment of wood got caught under my finger nail as I was sitting down and just lightly grazed the table with my hand. I also brushed away a few additional flakes coming up. The chiffon curtains are charming until you look closer and see they're speckled with food from past diners. A moss ball decoration in the bathroom is missing half its moss. It's little stuff, obviously, but when I spot things like this at a place otherwise charging a premium partially for cute aesthetics, I always get concerned that the lack of attention to detail might also be getting reflected in the food. 2. Value for money and food quality are also an issue. $20 for one slice of sourdough cut in half, a rather overdone French omelette with sour cream on top (not mentioned on the menu and a weird choice) a bowl of fruit I wasn't interested in rather than a choice of free side, and sausages I paid extra for, is not good value to me. The bread was good! The omelette was mediocre. The sausage was very solid, had a slight funk to it that I liked and suggested to me it was made in house - but 7 dollars for two sausage patties is absolutely wild. I would suggest Milkstop rethink the combos on its menu to include more and be priced a touch more transparently. 3. Finally, service. Everyone was VERY KIND, again, want to stress that, but service was slow and rather inattentive for most of the meal. The place was only half full, but water and an initial drink order were slow, and I waited for a while for the check while the staff chatted amongst themselves in the corner of the room. Not trying to be a dick, the life of a service worker is tough, but the place was mostly empty and I noticed they already charge a 3% service gratuity on your orders, so I'd expect a little better. Basically this place has a very charming surface with some wonkiness around the edges. I will definitely come back again but guys, come on - ditch the gross chiffon curtains, for both our sakes.

The cheeseburger was okay, but the patty was smaller than expected and could have used a bit more seasoning to really stand out. It wasn't bad, just a little underwhelming compared to other spots. The loaded fries were a highlight--topped with cheese, Italian beef, and fresh jalapeños. They were flavorful and absolutely massive, easily a meal on their own. We also had the breaded steak sandwich, which was decent but could have used some jalapeños for extra flavor. Portion-wise, it was very generous and easily enough for two people to share. The chicken fingers were just okay--good size, but again, a bit more seasoning would have helped. The mushrooms were solid, and the onion rings were better than most--big and crispy--but there were quite a few broken pieces. We also tried the famous cannoli shake, which tasted exactly like you'd expect--a cannoli in liquid form. If you like cannolis, you'll probably enjoy it. Overall, not a bad spot with generous portions and friendly service, but some items--especially the burgers--could use a bit more flavor and a larger patty to really stand out.
