Food/pastry options are limited and didn't seem that appetizing. They have a small section of goodies they sell. Our barista was very patient while we asked questions and ordered. A great place to sit at to read or get some work done. I also really appreciate that this shop is open later than most other coffee shops in the area.

Many of the customers sit there in their computers which created a fairly quiet setting. I've had their chai tea, lattes and teas. This time I just went for the peppermint tea. They also have homemade samosas and a few other pastries and bagels to choose from. It's nice to see a local business in Oak Park prospering especially when it seems to be so difficult to stay afloat. Check them out!

Reviewing their "Courageous Cones" ice-cream: one of the most delicious soft-serve ice creams I…read morehave ever had. You pick a waffle cone (vanilla/chocolate), an ice cream flavour (vanilla/chocolate/non-dairy coconut) and a fruit (strawberry, blueberry, plantain etc.). They blend the actual fresh fruit with the ice cream to produce an incredibly delectable, flavourful soft-serve. I got a vanilla waffle cone with chocolate ice cream blended with strawberries. It took maybe three or four minutes to serve because all of the blends are freshly made, and I had to wait in line for about twenty minutes, but the wait was worth it. It was nice to take the ice-cream cone and sit on a bench at the park nearby. The shop/window is attached to Courageous Cafe, but the operating hours are not the same as the cafe's, and one has to wait in line outside rather than indoors. The shop is about five minutes from the Oak Park Green Line CTA station. Highly, highly recommend this place to those visiting Oak Park! I might even make a trip all the way from the city for this ice-cream - it was that good!

There's a certain point where a bakery stops being a bakery and becomes a gravitational force, and…read morethis place crossed that line the moment I tried the pastries. Everything I've had so far has been spot‑on -- flaky, buttery, and made by people who clearly understand that "good enough" is not an acceptable standard for laminated dough. And then there are the cupcakes. The pink velvet and vanilla bean have basically derailed any attempt at exploring the rest of the menu. They're that good -- tender crumb, real flavor, none of that cloying sugar‑bomb nonsense. They even offer gluten‑free and vegan versions of some, which somehow manage to taste like actual cupcakes instead of punishment for dietary restrictions. There is a full breakfast menu, and it looks legitimately appealing... but I keep getting ambushed by the pastry case before I make it that far. One day I'll branch out. Today is not that day. If you're in Oak Park and want a bakery where the classics are done right and the cupcakes are dangerously habit‑forming, this is the one.

I took a sip of his and loved his more! I spilled his on accident while I was getting out of my car but I loved it so much that I convinced him to go back and get one for him and myself, that's how good it was! It's a little pricey but worth it! The cafe is so cute, spacious and cozy! I wish I lived closer because I'd definitely be there everyday!

They have a variety of options in coffee, specialty latte, frappes, and pastries. I was disappointed that the lavender latte is only served in the spring. I ordered the 16 oz Cookie Butter Latte for $7.00. Quite expensive. It wasn't bad, I just wish the flavor of the latte was more flavorful and more syrup was added. The young lady behind the counter was friendly and patient with me. I was undecided on what to order when I walked inside. I love the little cute flower station by the wall. Build your beauty. You can purchase flower arrangements for a reasonable price and for your self love day.

Deciding on a star rating for this one was tricky. The prices are kind of insane, so I was really…read moreleaning toward a 3. But, I'm a sucker for whimsy, so I decided to be generous. I met a friend here for brunch--I hadn't heard of the place but when we were looking for a halfway point, she discovered this restaurant. I'm glad that I took my preschooler with me because there were so many fun bits. The place is elegant, but playful and full of whimsy. It feels like a place made for a princess. The food was good, but overpriced, so you're paying for that fanciful meal. They only had one item in the kid's section, and it was more expensive than items for adults often are--$19 for a kid's item. Truly wild. Since it was questionable if my daughter would eat the ham or eggs, I opted to get the breakfast board for the table since it had waffles, pancakes, and fruit. She was ecstatic when she saw it, and I was charmed by the presentation--it's October, so they had decorated it in a Halloween theme. They also had a Halloween menu, and the witches brew looked good, but we all stuck to the standard menu for our meal. I ordered the enchiladas suizas and it was very good, but again, overpriced I think. Mocktails are almost always too high (why am I paying alcohol prices for drinks without alcohol?) but I got one for my daughter and I anyway. Again, this restaurant knocks it out of the park with regards to presentation. They had a lot of seating indoors, and there were tons of tables outside as well. I'm not sure if they were totally following the 90-minute rule today because even though it was a beautiful Sunday at the beginning of October, we were seated immediately and there were tables available both in and outdoors the entire time we were there. But anyway, be forewarned that they have a time limit for tables, so you don't want to spend forever making your decision. There's no dedicated parking lot for the restaurant, so you'll be looking at the surrounding streets or the couple lots that are nearby. No reservations accepted.

The ambiance can be described as nothing other than...REGAL. Just grand, and beautiful - you feel like you're surrounded by luxury. Even the hot sauce is dispensed in these cute glass bottles. And the service matches the regality - everyone is super attentive! Love this and we will be back - not just for the ambiance but also for the food.

I liked the olive oil cake and the texture was perfectly moist with a crispy crust. The coffee was also delicious. I ordered a lavender mocha iced, and it came with a creamy foam on top. I would definitely want to get their cookies if I'm ever in the area again because it seemed like almost everyone there was ordering one.
