    Chemn coffee
    Danny J.

    I love this coffee shop and the people that work here and the customers and the location. Yay Chemn Cafe!

    French press, beautiful mug, creative setting to work on my photos. What more can a girl ask for?!

    Chemn cafe is not just a coffee shop, it's a place to come and work, to connect and network with other business owners, it's a coffee shop that supports the community and gives back with their free community pantry. It's way more than great coffee, it's a community that's warm and welcoming and you'll leave a friend. They make their own creamers, serve coffee and matcha flights, and so much more! Very creative atmosphere if you need a little work boost. They also have a printer if you need something printed, which is a huge plus! Love everything about my home coffee shop!

    Went by Chem Cafe today and wanted to try something new. Usually get a coffee or a lemonade. The barista recommended me the raspberry hibiscus. It was delicious and refreshing. I love what they have done to the place with the wall painting, decorating and seating. They are always welcoming from the barista to the owner. They always greet everyone with a smile and love that they get to know their clients. Would highly recommend going if you are in downtown Elgin and want a nice place to hangout or get a cup of coffee/tea/lemonade.

    To go order packed very cute with a hot coaster stamped with their logo love this sustainable paper cup

    This is the coffee shop that I rely on to bring my friends and family that are visiting me. It's my new local coffee spot since moving to Elgin and let me tell you this spot has been open when every single other spot that sells coffee aside from Starbucks has been closed so as a local this spot is a gem! I recommend the wildcat and the latte is amazing as well. The service is great very patient women:) the place is very cute and I would say if u had to choose a coffee spot to stay loyal to, this one is it!

    Amazing coffee! Great staff and coffee takes like summer moon. 10/10 location is perfect and great lab decor for chemistry themed coffee shop! From out of town but will definitely come back

    I will start off saying, I will be back here when I'm in the area. This is a small intimate shop. They have a mini electric fireplace that was cozy on a cold and rainy Saturday. I first ordered the Elginate. It was good for the ingredients but I'm honestly not a butter pecan person so I shouldn't have tried it. As the afternoon progressed and I ordered a hot tea. She made an earl gray with milk and lavender. I'm not sure if it had a name or listed on menu but that was delicious! It actually surprised me only because I'm familiar with cold teas not hot. I order the tuna salad croissant. It was also better than I expected and completely ate the whole sandwich. Before I left I had to try a Broo beverage but I was kind of exhausted of caffeine so I went with a margarita. It comes in 16 oz cup. She made it well but not strong. I had no complaints with that just want to inform not to plan to get "lit".

    Friendly and lots of space to sit down out of the heat. I walked in and was greeted as if we were already friends. In the time it took to make and pay for my coffee I had a real conversation with some who cared to connect with me. Skip Starbucks and come here!!!

    I am constantly surprised, and pleasantly so, at the developments here and imagination the owners show here. Not only are they members of the community but they add value to the community. They just started offering their alcoholic beverage menu and it looks great! Sit down, enjoy a beverage of any variety, and soak up the local ambience. ChemCafe is a great place for Elginites and visitors seeking a nice break from the day.

    Visited for my first time today (1/3/2020) with my hubby and my puppy. I stayed outside because puppy wasn't allowed in. My hubby made my order while I took puppy on a walk in downtown Elgin. The atmosphere is very quiet with soft jazz playing in the background. The coffee beans are ground fresh when you order. I drink tea latte. No syrup and concentrate here!! They brew the tea when you order your drink. My chai tea latte is good. It's a little weaker than I like but it's good. The lady at the counter was very nice. I actually asked before I brought my puppy in and she was very polite when she told me he could not come in. The place is very clean. I recommend it & hope to return again soon. Went back 1/4/2020 got my usual but this time the barista suggested oat milk (usually additional charge). I love it!! I finally got a chance to go in and look around. It's very nice! Clean. I still recommend it if you're traveling through. It is right down the street from the Elgin City Hall.

    It's so nice to have a genuine, original local coffee shop in Elgin (not a sterile franchise). The coffee is great and so friendly too.

    Are any of your products organic? And what brand of beans do you use?

    Some of their products are, some are not. They are not a health food centered shop. It's more about grabbing a small bite and getting delicious coffee. They do have healthier options, but also some comfort food options. The organic options are mixed…

They always have the display cases stocked with some of the most delightful and incredible pastries, from, of course, their scones, but also sometimes homemade pop tarts, apple fritters, donuts, and more. I've had some of their croissants for lunch as well, and I think they are absolutely killer. I have one of their lunch boxes before at a work event, and I was impressed! Their coffee is pretty simple, but still great in a pinch. They offer plenty of flavors and syrups and always have some specials rolling around to try. I come here every once in a while for a morning or mid-day pick-me-up, and those cinnamon or chocolate chip scones are to die for. RIYL: The best pastries in Hippoville.

Their mission is to provide employment for adults with special needs and their profits support a vocational program to empower local citizens. When you first enter the building, you see a shop with lots of beautifully crafted and interesting products. Lots to shop here, although prices are high which then again, part of the proceeds go into a good cause and the products are well made. The cafe is located at the back of the shop. We spent a little time browsing the shop before going to the cafe. The cafe itself is so welcoming and spacious! Not a great ton of seating available but there's outdoor seating area with turf, which I can see is a huge plus when cooler weather arrives. I love the signs on the wall, very motivating sayings and quotes. For food, I had the avocado toast with bacon and fried egg and an espresso. It was delicious! Price point was good and food came out hot and fresh. I noticed when we were there, the lady at the counter (presumably the manager) was addressing the patrons by name, which was such a nice touch to see. It feels like this place really cares for their customers and is an established place in the local community. Parking is free and ample spaces available when we went there on a Friday morning. I like this place so much I ended up bringing my family there the following week. Support a good cause and eat a nutritious meal at the same time. Go visit!

I also tried the croffle, which was just alright for me. I'd probably stick to the drinks next time since that seems to be where they really shine. My only downside is that it is a little pricey, but overall I think it's worth it and I'd definitely come back!
