Drove from Chicago to Huntley to visit family and desperately needed coffee on the way. Did a quick…read moresearch for a non-chain spot and Calibre was very convenient. The 2 baristas working were very friendly, greeted me right away and made the drinks quickly. I got the biscoff iced latte, which is something I've had many times at other places. I really like that theirs isn't overly sweet, it doesn't have a ton of whip or cookie crumbles or syrup coating the sides which is what I prefer. The ube latte is sweeter but also not overly sweet like other places do. We ordered 16 oz but were given 20 oz cups, the barista said they were out of smaller cups. I think because of this they actually added more milk too, because the coffee taste was very light. I wish there was less milk or more espresso. Prices were high, $17 for 2 drinks is steep for the burbs. I'd come back, but I'd probably get an extra shot or ask for less milk.

This particular location has nailed it for attracting customers because it's placed right near the store entrance/exit and in the produce section. Oh, I wish I lived in a life where I can eat this every day without any health consequences. They rotate their flavors frequently, but I'm sad to learn that the Ferrero Rocher and chocolate hazelnut flavors are no longer available. The Mariano's West Loop location has the most selections, but this location has a decent variety. I love the little things added to enhance the appearance of the gelatos, such as half a real coconut placed on the coconut gelato and a couple of Andes mint chocolate bars sprinkled on the mint chocolate gelato. The size of the scoops are decent. However, I noticed that the gelato here is softer than the West Loop one. My favorite Vero location is still the West Loop one, but this is my second favorite. ***NOTE: When you purchase 10 gelatos with your Mariano's card, you get one free (including the large size)!***

Ah, Vero Coffee Bar. You had me at "Fiat Cinquecento on your gelato cups."…read more I've only tried 3 flavors of their gelato so far, but all have been tasty. The mini cups are only $1, and it's a whole scoop of gelato! Can't beat that. I'm sure I'll try many others as time goes on, but so far I've tried the Disaronno Amaretto, Opera Italiana, and Chocolate ones. All are quite good. They also make shakes with their gelato, which I'm sure are awesome. What I really want to try is the spaghetti and meatballs, which is of course gelato put through an extruder to resemble spaghetti and meatballs. :9 I'm sure it visually beats a boring old sundae any day! Coffee drinks are decent; organic hot cocoa is nice. Prices are reasonable. Oh, and the breakfast panini are only $3 and are served all day. I tried the arugula one (sorry, can't remember what they call it on the menu) that also had tomato and fresh mozzarella on toasted ciabatta. It was nice. You can see my photo of it attached to the entry for this place on Yelp. Not the best I've ever had, but definitely decent, and good value for money.

Review on the Tiramisu cake ONLY -…read more Come to TLJ for the pastries is my recommendation - tiramisu is definitely not their specialty and they have their own take on it that is no-rum, no ladyfingers, but rich cocoa powder, so if you're more into a milder, less sweet take on tiramisu, this is the place for you. Otherwise, I would go elsewhere for a more traditional one. It's also priced a bit above what I would consider its quality - the flour-based part of the cake was quite dry and didn't seem that fresh. But it comes with candles for a birthday! Otherwise, the service was great and interior is good for studying if you can in louder spaces. Parking available.

We ordered a cappuccino, almond croissant, and cherry danish from a very helpful staff member. The pastries were pretty good, albeit on the heavy side. My danish was packed with cherries but didn't have much of the cream cheese I was hoping would cut the sweetness a bit. The cappuccino was the highlight, smooth and not overly bitter. We were there mid-morning on a Saturday, and two people were working. Our pastries came out pretty quickly, but it took a very long time for my cappuccino due to a large to-go order they were handling. It's understandable, and we weren't in a hurry anyway. I've only been here once and so I don't know if that's typical, but something to be aware of in case you're on a tight timeline. The ambiance was nice, and it would be a pleasant place to hang out and work.

What I can say from my short visit is that Sweet Reserve feels very breathable. I like how bright and clean this little place is. I watched brews being made and you can see they have passion. Aside from good coffee and tea, they serve real chai, not the "chai tea" that the masses have been fed. I heard they have cake jars. Those are my favorite kind if jars. We came here post dinner, so Turkish breads, chicken tikka twisted bread, scones and danishes, I'll get you next time.
