Calibre Coffee - A Cozy Favorite If I had a chance to stop…read moreby Calibre Coffee, I'd always choose it. The place may not be that big, a typical size, but it has such a comforting atmosphere. There's also a terrace outside where you can sit, especially in the summertime -- it's the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the day. What really makes this place special is how they prepare their drinks -- whether it's coffee, tea, or a latte. I especially love their lattes; every cup is made with care and consistent quality. I truly appreciate that attention to detail. I hope they continue maintaining that same standard. To the owner -- kudos!

Calibre Coffee in South Barrington was honestly a letdown. The place looks nice from the outside,…read morebut the experience didn't match the hype at all. The coffee tasted burnt and overly bitter, like it had been sitting too long, and for the price, that's unacceptable. Service was slow and felt disorganized--staff didn't seem very attentive, and it took way longer than it should have just to get a basic order. On top of that, the atmosphere was louder and less relaxing than expected, which defeats the whole point of going to a coffee shop to chill or get work done. Overall, overpriced, underwhelming coffee, and poor service. Definitely not somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit again.

One of my friends was visiting from downstate and I wanted to find a place close to where she was…read morestaying and coffee is always my go-to if you don't know that by now. So I found Mustafa Coffee House and just looking at pictures I was very intrigued! The place is absolutely beautiful! It's quiet and perfect if you're looking for a workspace during the day! When I first arrived there was only one person working I'm assuming he's the owner and he was extremely friendly and ready to answer any questions that I had as well as make recommendations! As you will see from my photos there is no shortage of delicious things to get. You can either order with him or through a kiosk and they are open 24/7 which is a huge Plus in my book! They offer a wide variety of tea and coffee options both hot and iced. They are great options from familiar beverages to new fun ones to explore. I'm confident that you could find something for everybody in this adorable shop. I can't exactly remember the name of the coffee that I got but it was a special for Ramadan and as a complete and total coffee connoisseur, I can honestly tell you it's one of the best coffees I've ever had. Typically I am not a light roast girl but this was absolute perfection. It was the perfect complement to my Dubai chocolate croissant that you will see and I love that everything is served on cute little trays! There is plenty of seating! Tables as well as a cushioned bench area and a little bit more secluded area off to the side in the front. Everything is beautifully clean and shiny and the decor is just lovely. My friend also said that the bathrooms are pristine, I'll probably check that out myself next time! If you're looking for a cute and delicious small business to support in the Hoffman Estates area, I absolutely recommend Mustafa Coffee House! I will absolutely be going back very soon!

Stopped by Mustafa Cafe and really enjoyed it. The Mch chai was amazing if you've had Akbar's…read moreIranian chai, this is very similar and hits the spot perfectly. I also tried the mango cake, which tasted good and looked beautiful, though it was a bit on the pricey side. Still nice to try as a treat. Service was friendly and quick, and the overall experience was good. Definitely worth checking out if you're a chai lover.

If you're anywhere near Schaumburg and haven't been to Sayfani Coffee yet, you're missing out…read more Their coffee refreshers are honestly some of the best I've had, super clean, refreshing, and actually energizing without feeling heavy. Perfect for a quick pick-me-up or something different from your usual order. But what really sets them apart is the staff. Every single time I walk in, I'm greeted with genuine warmth and great energy. It's rare to find a place where the service consistently makes your day better. Great drinks, even better people. Sayfani is doing it right!

Quite nostalgic!! We got the Oreo bingsoo, and they were incredibly generous with the Oreo pieces. The sweetest was definitely a nice complement to the ice, which didn't have flavor. Loved the chewy mochi pieces too! We also tried the matcha boba tea, which is more milk tea forward than it was matcha! Plenty of seating for big or small groups, and a huge parking lot as well. Our big group's order was ready super quick, which is a nice bonus!

We didn't eat here, but went inside because we saw that they had shirts displayed in the window…read more Our son had thrown up in the car and we needed to get him new clothes. I asked a lady inside if she carried clothes in my child's size, and she GIFTED me a shirt. Meanwhile, the staff member was so sweet to my son. We were in a hurry to get back on the road so didn't stay to sample anything but we will definitely be back.

I'm a huge fan of Vero Coffee Bar because they have delicious gelato and inexpensive prices. Every…read moretime I see hazelnut gelato available here, I have to get it! 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.

Very disappointing experience at Tous Les Jours today…read more The service was extremely rude. The cashier (long black hair) she had an unfriendly attitude from the start--no greeting, no smile, and it felt like she was already irritated. What made it worse was how both the cashier and the owner spoke to me. They raised their voices instead of helping. There was a promotion for 3 bakery items for $5. I accidentally selected 7 items instead of 6, and I clearly told them multiple times that I only wanted 6 and did NOT want the extra item. Instead of fixing a simple mistake calmly, they kept raising their tone at me, which was unnecessary and uncomfortable. As a customer, I expect basic respect and professionalism. This situation could have been handled politely in seconds, but instead it turned into a negative experience. I won't be returning, and I hope management seriously works on customer service.

While only two visits in, I don't foresee anything making this little cafe any less of an escape…read more Seemingly small, but not cramped, if you enter from the back (where there is ample parking), you'll be surprised by how you'll keep finding a new space around every corner. That said, if you're meeting a friend to get some work done, one of you might end up with your laptop on your lap, as most tables won't accommodate more than in addition to the beverage/pastry of your choosing. I've only gotten the cardamom latte and it is exactly what an infrequent coffee drinker wants and needs. Not totally bitter, but not totally a sugar bomb. Just rich with flavor. Come in on a chilly day as the sun breaks through the clouds, and let the woody interior warm your mood as your drink warms your interior.

What a clean and instagrammable little shop!…read more A great spot to hang out as well as study if you want, it has a great vibe. The service was great and they were very helpful with questions considering this was our first visit. The drinks were also very aesthetically pleasing and tastes good by preference. And I say that because I loved my salted vanilla bean matcha but my wife didn't like it. But she loved her banana cream matcha and I wasn't a fan. There are a lot of drinks to choose from so we'll definitely be back to try the rest!

I met a friend here a few months ago for the first time and have already been back several times…read morebecause I genuinely love the food and coffee. This cafe does so many things right, starting with the spacious parking lot located in a large strip mall, which makes stopping by very convenient. Inside, the dining room is bright, elegant, and welcoming, and the staff has been consistently friendly and kind. During my first visit, my friend and I ordered for dine-in, and I immediately appreciated the thoughtful details. The ordering counter displays a variety of freshly made pastries and bakery items that are very tempting. My drink was served in a real glass, and my food came out hot on an actual plate with a fork. I love places that make dining in feel intentional and special rather than treating it like takeout. I ordered the spinach Turkish bread ($8.75), and it completely exceeded my expectations. It was generously filled with spinach, cheese, and garlic, and the flavor was outstanding. You could tell it was freshly made and homemade. Just writing this review is making me crave it again. I also ordered an iced caramel macchiato ($6.25), which had a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness and paired really well with my food. One downside is that the dining room is not very large, so tables are close together. As it got busier during our visit, I became a bit uncomfortable because I could clearly hear the conversation at the table next to us, which meant they could hear ours, as well. It is something to keep in mind if you plan to stay. Because of this, I now usually order my drink to go. Overall, I am extremely impressed with this cafe. It has quickly become one of my favorite spots for both food and coffee, and I will absolutely continue coming back.
