The Knight and The Bible…read more On a drive up to Chicago to catch a vacation flight, we stopped at The Cup and The Scone to get us caffeinated for the rest of the drive. We got there about 30 minutes before close and the barista was super nice as we ordered our drinks. Emily got a caramel latte and I got the.. you guessed it... an iced americano. We also grabbed a blueberry-lemon, cranberry-orange, and birthday cake scone. While we stood there as the barista was making our drinks, we chatted her up a bit and we were able to get a few free stickers from her. She said they don't use them all too much and was happy to give us two each. Once we got our drinks, we took off to the upper part of the coffeehouse and promised we wouldn't be too long since they were closing soon. Before we headed upstairs, I took some photos with the suit of armor that is by the counter. When we got upstairs, I was surprised to see another suit of armor, so I took a photo with that one, too. The Cup and The Scone specializes in a lot of gluten-free products and a small bit of religion. I don't know if their entire menu is gluten-free but as someone who's mom is gluten sensitive (and I will probably be at some point), the care about GI issues is great. As for the religious stuff, if you don't see the occasion bible strewn about the place, you'd honestly never know. But, their website seems to support helping people and I think that also is super great as this world is getting rough and scary. Any who, Emily and I really enjoyed our drinks. The americano hit all the right notes and Emily was delighted with her latte. We were split on the scones. I really liked the birthday cake while she really liked the cranberry-orange while we both thought the blueberry-lemon was just alright. We held true to our promise and dipped out before 2pm and hit the road. If I find myself in Pontiac for some reason in the future, The Cup and The Scone will definitely be my spot to get some americanos.

I was initially drawn to this spot by the big knight in shining armor that I saw on Yelp (I'm a big…read morechess fan) and then pleasantly surprised at how cool this place is. The decor really makes this spot, with lots of fun themed signs throughout the restaurant. This definitely gives it a different and more fun vibe than the average coffee house and the upstairs loft is cozy to hangout in as well. The coffee flavors and preparation are quite good here -- flavorful, and made with high quality ingredients. I also enjoyed the mini scones, with a nice texture that was soft but a little more firm than a muffin. Overall, definitely worth a visit if you're in Pontiac. Great vibe and delicious food.

Rolled into Chatterbox Café in Kankakee because I saw a review talking about pastrami pancakes…read more Now, I'm always down for the weird-but-good food combos... except, plot twist--that review was for the wrong place. No pastrami pancakes here. Bummer. That said, breakfast was basic but good--eggs, bacon, coffee, the classics. Sometimes that's all you really need. The vibe is super local, definitely one of those "everybody knows your name" joints. Felt like I should've walked in wearing a nametag that said "Norm." points because my waitress was a Styx fan--nothing like sipping coffee while talking Come Sail Away. Rock and eggs? Solid combo. tip: you can't add your tip later on the receipt, gotta do it when you ring out. I just left a cash tip--felt right anyway. Kept it homie.Overall? Cozy, friendly, no-frills, and exactly the kind of place you want when you're eating with the locals.

Stafari West has been a staple for us when family comes to town and we want to show them some of…read morethe best of what Kankakee has to offer. The flavors of their food has been consistently spot on and fresh, the service prompt and friendly, The decor is welcoming, clean, and calming. It was refreshing to discover they offer non-alcoholic cocktails as an option. Their recent collaboration with Chef Karla and her popular smash burgers for the evening menu was a smart move. Chef Karla has built a reputation in Kankakee at various venues, most recently at the now closed 8 One Five. My favorite sandwich is the Arch Enemy with its familiar but upscaled flavors of a popular fast food staple. She consistently comes up with off menu specialty sandwiches. If you aren't sure what to put on your burger order it "the Chef's way" and prepare to be satisfied

The service was very kind and prompt, and it was clear that the staff cared about our whole experience. Came here while visiting my sister, and she claimed this is their favorite local spot for both breakfast AND lunch/dinner! It certainly did not disappoint. They had about 5 specialty coffee drinks on the menu (all holiday themed). We got two (one peppermint and one gingerbread), and they were presented beautifully. For food we got a few breakfast sandwiches, European pancakes, a banana peanut butter toast, and some sides of bacon. All of it was VERY good and nearly all of it (including their bread) was scratch made. My favorite item was their croissant sandwich... if the croissants were homemade this place would easily have been a 5. All accounted for, I cannot wait to return for dinner. Thank you!

The meat was a little spicy but I really enjoyed it however just wanted to point that out for those who may be sensitive to a little heat. The Brussels sprouts had so much flavor. There was a sweet, vinegar, mustard flavor that together really brought out an amazing flavor. The staff were so nice and helped make some awesome recommendations. The ambiance was very welcoming and comfy feeling. The chai tea was some of the best. The chai was perfect it wasn't too spicy and wasn't too sweat like some can be.

What a pleasant surprise. It is a calm, relaxing place with its own unique vibe. Calling it an upgrade from Starbucks would not be fair because it is truly its own thing.

It also has touches that reminded us of New Orleans, where you can grab a beignet and a cappuccino. There is even a hint of a Cuban Havana vibe in the mix. All in all, it is a great atmosphere, and we are already looking forward to coming back.
