Insanely expensive, I'm all for maximizing cost but that also means sharing value with consumers. I…read morenoticed my eight dollar matcha was thrown together from a tub of green powder. Have a hunch no ceremonial grade used here despite the royal cost, feels very weird noticing both here and Farmhouse tourist trap dollar signs without one typical espresso shop treat to match. Only tricks, tasted like a five dollar drink, very sweet and offering the typical muddy tea bite, I'm sure Panera Bread could match the quality for even cheaper. That's when I become a bit odd and make sure expectations are leveled because getting close to ten bucks for any Java House drink demands crafted ingredients. House made syrups are the minimum, superior bean and tea sourcing, and a refined balanced beverage that tingles and sings through the taste buds. Neither of those three showed up here. Service was fine, atmosphere old wood and enjoyable, and street parking all over do make this a better option for food I'd imagine than drinks.

Just keep it in mind and order light ice. The service was good and quick. There is a lot for parking.

We waited for quite a while to get our food. Luckily we didn't have anywhere to be. The head employee at the time felt horrible that people were having to wait so long that he went around to each table, apologized for the delays, and gave a cookie. He was one do the most hard working employees and extremely pleasant. We did order food and it came out perfectly along with our coffees. I would recommend going here if you are looking for a little quiet spot to grab a bagel and coffee/tea!

Competition in the coffeehouse space has really picked up in the region. Sip has a decent variety…read moreof options, but I think they just use store-bought syrups and don't have anything housemade. They regularly switch up their menu, adding different flavor combinations. They offer "full-service" for those opting to dine-in, but this just serves to inflate their prices since now you're paying a tip on top of the menu price. I'm not aware of any other coffeehouses in the region that operate on this model, so this makes them more expensive for a dine-in option.

My husband had the Doncaster - Salted Butterscotch Oat Draft Cold Brew, and I had the Voodoo - Peanut Butter Chocolate Espresso Latte ($6.50 each). Both were very tasty although my husband's needed a good stir since a lot of the flavoring had settled at the bottom. I was looking at the paper menu when I ordered, so I thought the Gold Rush ($9) was a really interesting bagel when it's actually a bowl of oatmeal. A bit disappointing. My husband had the Avocado Toast ($9), a solid breakfast option. The interior is very nice with ample seating. Can't wait to make it out to CP again and have another opportunity for coffee at Fluid.

I tried the Fruity Pebbles iced latte, which was essentially a white mocha with Fruity Pebbles cold foam. It didn't really taste like Fruity Pebbles to me, and the drink was definitely more cold foam-heavy with the cereal sprinkled on top. The rest of my group tried the honey vanilla iced latte, which was better once mixed, but had a bit of a unique flavor that we weren't sure was from the honey. One friend even thought the espresso had a slightly off taste, although I personally didn't notice it. The space itself was clean, cute, and had some fun offerings--from seasoned deviled eggs to seasonal drinks and gift items. It's also attached to a salon that's basically a one-stop shop, which I thought was such a fun concept! Overall, definitely a decent spot to check out if you're in the area. As an out-of-town girly, though, I probably wouldn't make it my first choice next time I'm in Crown Point, but I'm glad we stopped in and gave it a try!

Fair amount of dining space with board games as well to play. There's a little shop where I could buy a variety of items as well. Overall, we were overall highly satisfied with our visit!

Everything I see says 7. I'm going to leave an actual review . I didn't try their ice cream or drinks. The overall look of the place is super cute. I'm sitting on a clamshell type chair right now and don't want to leave, it's super comfortable. I'm also listening to good ol' Guns and Roses so my Gen X heart is happy. I bought a few of their specialty doughnuts they are 3.85 each and I bought some regular yeast, and cake doughnuts, those are 2.99 each. They have specials for a dozen like everywhere. They were so very nice! I went when it was slow. The two people working were very helpful. All in all I bought 6 doughnuts. 1. Nutella 2. Boston cream 3. Caramel cheesecake 4. Pistachio old fashioned 5. Blueberry old fashioned 6. Chocolate frosted I ate the Boston Cream while writing this. It's a pretty good doughnut and super fresh. The biggest thing I noticed about the doughnut was that it was sweet but really not sugary if that makes sense. (Now they are playing Journey! Don't stop believing! Yes cliche white chick singing the chorus like a mad woman) it was just perfect for a cup of coffee. I really liked my choice. I'll be curious what my hubby thinks when he tries the old fashioned ones and when we split the other specialty doughnuts!!! Time to go home and I'm exiting listening to Aerosmith Dream On. I'm digging the vibe of this place.
