They have done a great job to set up the lobby have three areas with super nice benches around the wall. Perfect for the group chatting. I tried the Qishr for the first time. Light than a regular coffee, more like tea body. With some ginger taste and very little sweetness. It took about 10 mins to make. I liked it a lot. Also got the bird's nest which I highly recommend. Creamer than the regular baklava and perfect portion for us. Certainly could be one of my regulars.

The options were decent and included Turkish coffee, drip coffee, macha, lattes, and chai. The desserts looked really good and fresh. Although I didn't order food this time I would if I returned. The service.. the girls were friendly... The guy not so much. He just took the order without a smile or thank you and kept moving along. I ordered a pistachio matcha mostly because the pistachio was homemade and I love pistachios and flavors. The drink was made pretty quickly and was nice with a nutty balance. Open free parking lot with plenty of parking in the shopping area near IKEA. If I'm in the area I would return.

Being that Ramadan had recently started, I assumed this was post iftar, the evening break in the fast and peeps were coming for drinks and desserts. The drink menu is on a display but it doesn't mention what flavors are associated in some of their custom drinks. I was split between a Habibi, coconut or Biscoff flavored lattes. A conversation with the barista pushed me towards the aforementioned and they said they could lighten the sweetness. I don't remember the details of exactly what gives its "Middle Eastern flair", the flavors worked and kept me awake for the drive. Judging from the many orders being called out, I picked the most popular. If you dig chill spaces to work & or meet new peeps, seek out details on their IG page. They host lively events to discover their new menu items and or trivia nights engaging popular topics Ie Star Wars, Marvel, and more.

I was overly disappointed with the lack of food and drink options compared to the other location. We ordered karak chai, lemon breeze passion refresher, and biscoff cheesecake. The lemon breeze passion refresher was good. The cheesecake wasn't too sweet. Service was friendly. The experience overall was kind of meh to me. I've been to many Middle Eastern cafes so this location was like one and done for me.

Don't know what it is but I've been really into banana flavoring this year so it was fantastic news…read moreto find this locally owned coffee spot a short drive from an appointment in Bolingbrook this past weekend that has a banana bread latte on their seasonal menu. I ordered at the drive-thru window. Staff were friendly and service was quick. I agree with others that $9 is on the pricey side for a 16oz drink. The banana bread flavoring tasted good but it could have used more banana. Still, it was really creamy with a nice ratio of sweetness. I'd be interested to try other options the next time I'm around.

I ordered a skirt steak sandwich (with grilled onions and grilled jalapeños) which came with fries and soup. It was excellent. My soup was eaten by another family member, who remarked how good it was (much to my chagrin, as I wasn't offering it, but stayed a good sport). 2nd visit wasn't as great. The corned beef sandwich was okay, not Schmaltz though. Not sure why no yellow mustard came on it or even as a side. The fries and soup though were excellent (this time I got to eat it; it was cream of chicken rice). 3rd time, back to the skirt steak again, this time I had a choice of 2 soups: minestrone or chicken noodle. I chose minestrone and was so happy to finally be getting it. Only I didn't. They messed up and gave me chicken noodle. First time in my life I had a 5-star meal (yes, the chicken noodle was also excellent), but felt totally upset. I will have the minestrone one day, I promise. Look forward to trying their breakfast one day, as their menu looks quite extensive.

Hate giving out a review like this to a small business but the food was "that" bad…read more The service was good no issue, Place was clean that's the end of the good news. However the food from apps to entree to even the soda was subpar. Apps ordered were cheese sticks and fried mushrooms. Both were soggy and greasy can tell the oil was not hot enough. Ordered a club sandwich...turkey on it was slimy and nothing was fresh it was not good. Chicken Quesadilla were terrible, tasted weird not sure what type of cheese was used but it was not good... it was so bad only 2-3 bites were taken. A patty melt was also ordered by a party at the table and it was equally terrible, dry, flavorless and just plain terrible. Last the soda was warm so warm that the ice put in the Soda was almost all melted by the time it got to the table. Folk there are many more better options in the area...this place should be a hard pass.

Service was fairly quick, and there's decent seating inside, perfect for catching up with friends or relaxing solo with a drink.

It tastes just like authentic filter coffee from India, rich and perfectly balanced. The bun with malai and honey was light, fluffy, and paired perfectly with our drinks -- a simple but absolutely delicious snack. Definitely recommend this spot if you love authentic chai or South Indian-style coffee -- a true hidden gem worth visiting!

It took about 15 for the roll to come out and then another 10-15 minutes for the samosa chaat out and they literally forgot the doodh pathi until we asked about it at the end. The excuse was that they were making it from scratch? The roll was decent, really just tasted and felt like they got the ingredients from Patel Brothers and threw it together. Same with the somosa chaat, which didn't even have a samosa. It was just one deconstructed samosa crushed along the plate and covered in yogurt and some chutneys. There was more chickpeas than samosa. Both dishes were something I'd expect to put together at home last minute if a guest showed up unannounced and even then i'd be embarrassed to serve this stuff. We got the doodh pathi finally as we were heading out and we expected a soothing drink of tea leaves brewed in milk. Unfortunately all you taste is milk. Wouldn't recommend

They also put my iced latte in a hot latte cup because she said the espresso was hot... which is odd because yes, fresh espresso is always hot. And they didn't have skim milk or oat milk., which are my two go to's. My daughter wanted a scone though, which was the best part! Service seemed rushed (i.e. before I was even done putting my card back in my wallet, she was taking care of the next person by shouting over me), which made me feel frazzled. However, it is just a short walk to the park, which was perfect. Just not sure I would be rushing back anytime soon, which is sad because I love supporting local businesses when possible.

Ambiance/Service: I had to take pictures of the Year of the Dragon art and the Spring has sprung art because it's great that there was a celebration of the season and the year. I appreciated that the staff took the time to make this set on a chalkboard. It could easily be a poster. There are also places to take pictures. Overall: When I am in town (which isn't often) I like to stop by here for boba. The staff is friendly and patient (because I don't know what to order since I'm not a regular) and it is a happy place. Even the details (the little signs that have the wifi password) are fun and inviting. And next time I come by it will be a different sesson, possibly a different year and I look forward to seeing the signs and all the ways Pisces Cafe captures the present moment.
