There's definitely something for everyone. We ordered a few of their mini pastries and a tiramisu. The mini pastries were delicious and made for the perfect little treats. Unfortunately, the tiramisu was a bit of a miss for me. I love a good tiramisu, but I felt like it was missing that rich espresso flavor I was hoping for. That said, it definitely didn't deter me from coming back! I didn't get a chance to try the gelato this time, but there were several flavors I had my eye on. I'll definitely be back to give them a try. Overall, such a cute bakery with a great variety of treats!

I had a small window to pick up the product (between 3pm and 4pm), so I was guessing I would get what didn't sell that day. I was pleasantly surprised what I received. I got a mini cream puff, eclair, cannoli, spinach croissant, and a few other products. All were very good. In addition, the young lady let me taste some gelato. They have around 12 different flavors. I tried the mint one. Outstanding. I will buy that one next time I visit. The place is fairly small and I can't speak for the selection at the beginning of the day, but what she packed was a great sample of what they offer.

Unfortunately i wasn't too satisfied with my drink. I got the iced ube chai and the cup was literally filled 3/4 with ice which meant the ube foam just coated the ice and barely mixed and gave any flavor. The chai tasted heavily of chai concentrate. Overall disappointing for a $7-8 drink.

He made some great recommendations based on my preferences and offers items in bean or grounded formats. I purchased the Costa Rica Marigold option based on the notes listed. He gave me beans that had been roasted that day! The beans are high quality but not has flavor forward as I'm used to. Either way, pricing was very fair and seems to always have all options in stock.

Shibam Coffee in Glendale Heights is an absolute hidden gem. From the moment we walked in, the…read moreplace felt incredibly warm, welcoming, and homey. The decor is beautiful and thoughtfully done--it honestly makes you want to just sit back and relax for a while. The owner was super friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers. We ordered a dragon fruit refresher, a mocha coffee, a lemon fruit pastry, and the Dubai chocolate cheesecake--and everything was amazing. The drinks were fresh and flavorful, and the desserts were on another level. The Dubai chocolate cheesecake especially was rich, unique, and seriously one of the best desserts I've had. Overall, this place checks every box: great vibes, great service, and incredible food and drinks. Definitely coming back again soon. Highly recommend!

I came in today excited to try Shibam. I initially tried it first at a convention 3 years ago in…read moreChicago. I loved the Adeni chai and told them then that they should come to Chicago. I ordered the adeni chai, Abrar's Chocolate PB smoothie and Chicken puff. First, the adeni chai. The chai was good for the most part but lacked a bit more spice. It was a bit bland. Overall, I think if they added a bit more spice it would add that touch that makes them stand out amongst the thousands of adeni chai in this city. It was missing something compared to when I tried it originally. The staff was nice and answered all questions. The ambiance was very aesthetic and welcoming. The Abrars smoothie was good, I asked what elements went into the smoothie and loved that they used fresh ingredients like real banana, pb, dates and whey protein with less additives. Keep that up. The chicken puff was not good at all. First, it was $6.99, which I did not mind paying but the quality of the product was below average. They heated it up but it seemed old and the chicken inside was like a paste. It seemed like it had been sitting for a while and it was just a big glob of mush altogether. I wish it was more dry, and lacks flavor. This needs to be better. At this point, I don't know if I would ever try any other food here.

True Story: August 5th- My second time here at Haraz (first…read morewas on opening day with two Arab friends and we had a pretty decent if expensive Turkish coffee) and still the corner "Middle Eastern coffee lounge" looks inviting as I walk in at 8pm on a Wednesday night with a friend. Spacious and well lit and clean - but then I encounter bored untrained staff who apparently have no clue what they are offering - and worse - seem indifferent to their lack of knowledge of their menu offerings - it's not their fault they don't speak Arabic or Farsi - but the ignorance as to what is in the pastry showcase or details of their drink menu is just staggering: I ask whether any of their desserts contain nuts because my friend has a fatal allergy...answer: "not really sure but not to my knowledge" (I'm afraid that just isn't good enough for this doctor). I then ask innocently whether they have any decaffeinated tea - the chap behind the counter says with confidence "Black tea doesn't have any caffeine" I was surprised enough to question my own knowledge- and my companion, who is a medical nutritionist seemed stunned and gave up as well. She said "black tea contains about 50mg per cup - which is around half that of coffee", but he didn't take the bait and stated with that confidence that only pure ignorant bliss can impart : "No, black tea has no caffeine - it's tea...not coffee." (Suggestion to the owners here: you may want to educate your staff and quick) Then I ask patiently for the list of ingredients of the various pretty looking unlabeled and mysterious sweets selection behind the glass cabinet.... Again no understanding of what I'm asking about. "No we aren't told what's inside each and we get our pastries from small suppliers but I think there are no nuts - I don't see any nuts - and they don't tell us what's inside" ... meanwhile I see pistachios scattered all over at least two desserts in the case - and I'm only asking for a rudimentary description of ingredients- and about what's inside each item - surely not too much to ask or expect (am I being difficult here?) To the owners: this customer thought you made all your desserts in-house but your staff happily tell us customers the truth - but either way..... Surely you'd want to know what you are offering your customers ? - I mean, some of the pastries look pretty tasty, but without knowing what's inside.... I give up. Then there is the price : $16.00 for a coffee and a tea. Okay... I tell myself I am trying this place a second time and I've been told good things by friends since here last (cardamom and cinnamon spiced hot drinks! ) So when I am served my tea and coffee at the table, I ask innocently for a napkin, and the waiter (Mr "Caffeine-Free tea") nods towards the other side of the cafe and says "napkins are over there" and walks off. I guess he expects me to get up and walk over to get myself a napkin (which one would have expected he'd have brought in the first place with the drinks) - and so reluctantly I've decided this is just not the place for me to relax - And at this point I just give up ... and give in to a tasty coffee - it was pretty good - and decide sadly never to return - even if invited.

A lot of customers get it to go. The place is pretty small so there's limited room for hanging out and stuff. Coffee is actually the best stuff to get here. It's got a limited food menu. There's mostly just crepes to eat, of which there's a few on the menu, or you can build your own with fillings and toppings. A limited amount to get. It's about $5.75 to get a latte. Pretty basic stuff. Has non dairy milks including oat. The food options are pretty light stuff. It's about $13 to get crepes. The Crepes have options such as blueberry if wanting to get it sweet. Also they have a few savory ones. The prices are pretty high for these. Only bad thing about it. The rest of the menu includes cookies and pastries. Great place for a light breakfast. It's closed Mondays. The atmosphere is pretty boring but whatever.

My husband and I don't really plan on eating here because we just come to use the machines, take a few classes, and sit in the hot tub (which is pretty amazing); however, we decided to give it a shot just to say we've eaten there. Life Cafe's philosophy is to provide clean, healthy food to the people using the facilities. That means no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial ingredients, organic and gluten-free options, and so forth. To my surprise, they actually do a good job of sticking with this philosophy and creating a yummy menu. They also make a variety of smoothies with fruits, juices, yogurt, and milk (almond milk available for $.50 more). Whey protein is added to nearly all smoothies but you can request VeganMax protein instead, which is Lifetime's vegan protein supplement. SWEET. (I hate whey.) My husband ordered the savory roast beef sandwich and I had a wild-caught grilled salmon salad with a smoothie. The food is made fresh behind the counter so there is a slight wait. However, you're able to sit at the table and hang out until they bring the food to you (you're given a number sign when you order). My husband's sandwich seemed kind of small; yet, my salad was huge. They were both REALLY GOOD -- much better than we had expected from a place inside a fitness center. My strawberry/banana/orange juice smoothie was good although I could taste the protein powder with every sip. I got used to it. I wish they had more veggie smoothies. The cafe has a good amount of tables, large windows, and shelves of products for sale. I pretty much ignore the walls of products, but the snack bars are cool. So what's the catch? Why the four stars? The food is EXPENSIVE! Kyle's sandwich and my salad were nearly $9 each. I realize that the quality is amazing (and heck, Lifetime's membership isn't cheap) but I just can't afford to pour more money into this place. I'm still glad we tried it!
