They still had the same coffee menu, seasonal drinks, and baked good offering; but, felt a lot more like a neighborhood destination. I ended up ordering coffee for my work team and all were impressed by the flavors! I got a Black Americano, Hot Borealis Latte, and the Whipped Carrot Cake Latte for myself. The Carrot Cake Latte may be a new all time favorite of mine! It wasn't too sweet but just leaned into the flavor profile enough. My coworker who had the Hot Borealis said it may have been her favorite latte she's tried. I also got the Herbed Goat Cheese Croissant which is familiar yet unique with the pop of savoriness. Overall, this was a great experience as a stop in when passing through the area. Brewpoint continues to have great flavors that leaves a lasting impression. Staff is friendly and pricing is fair.

Unfortunately they can't sub out dairy with non-dairy as the peanut butter milk is already made with dairy. I got to try it anyway, it's really good. The flavor and consistency was done perfectly.

The place is small but very quaint, filled with old styled furnitures and aesthetics. They also have limited outdoor seating too.

Upon entering on a Sunday afternoon, it was quiet, the music was nice and the staff was on par with their service. I was serviced with smiles and generosity. The two women helped me pick the perfect pastry to go along side my lavender chai latte and regular chai latte, which was a gluten free vegan Ube muffin topped with cinnamon sugar. They warm the pastry up for me which definitely made it better. I maybe spent $15 for two drinks and a pastry which was phenomenal considering other places would have been higher in price.

Usually specialty drinks can be expensive in nice coffee shops like this, but it only came out to a bit over 5 dollars. It was so amazing, sweet without being too sweet, and the perfect ube flavor for someone relatively uninitiated with the purple root. It also came out super quick, I could see them working on it while I finished ordering! The employees are all very kind, one of them complimented my wallet and I love compliments so it just set the tone for a great day. I got a seat by the window. There is plenty of natural light in here and plenty of great vibes. About 7 tables in the main area, a couch, and a big table in a room towards the back. Also, a big mural and lots of plants. Really fun and artsy environment. They were selling t-shits and merch which all looked cool and had nice designs. Once I become a regular here (which I now intend on!) I think I will definitely have to get a shirt or hoodie. I noticed there aren't many reviews yet for here which leads me to believe it is not as popular as it deserves to be. But guys, you gotta come, or you're missing out!

I do think $22 for a sandwich and coffee is a bit expensive, but I'm always very satisfied with my meal. It does come with a large side of home fries, but I usually end up not eating them, so I'd love to see more side options to choose from. Also had cupcakes catered a few months back including some gluten free options and they were all a big hit. Definitely on the expensive side, but they were good quality and absolutely devoured.

Lumes is known as one of the longtime favorites for brunch in the suburbs. A place not just for mornings actually. They also have a few things for lunch. Coming on weekdays is better because it's not as crowded. It's always crowded of course but you actually can find a few seats. The breakfast options are the things most people get from here so most of the menu consists of these. Of course not everyone wants to get it. There's also lunch options like salads and sandwiches. At lunch we got a couple of these items. It's about $15 to get the Power Spinach Salad. A lot comes on it. There's chickpeas, cucumbers, house vinaigrette, onions, parsley, pomegranates, quinoa, and spring mix. Quite enough. The sandwich options include classics like Reubens. Great to come here hungry. It's got a few locations. They're open until the early afternoons so hours are limited which is the only bad thing.

Came with fries and soup of the day. 2nd time here I ordered something else. Just plain average diner food. But ordered the steak again for my third time and was impressed once again. Kept coming back, if only for that one standout. Been here at least a dozen times, ordering the steak to go mostly (actually sat down with family twice). Sadly, subsequent steaks were not as consistent. Often, they are tough. Once, they forgot the jalapeños. But twice now, they've messed up my soup. I never tasted their minestrone, despite having ordered it twice (not counting a third time where it was eaten by a family member). Got cream of chicken rice both times. WTF is wrong with these people? Less than a mile from home, great service. They just don't know how to make steak or differentiate between soups (Hint: Minestrone is reddish-brown, cream of chicken rice is white). Really gave this place too many second chances based on my first 2 steak experiences (and a few other ones scattered in between the non-acceptables). Today, not only shoe-leather steak, but the wrong soup once again.

After 10 minutes, I got a text saying it could not make my reservation. That's because Patti's doesn't take reservations for parties of four. Something I only found out about by calling the restaurant. So unless you are a large group, walking in is best. Breakfast will cost you between $15-$20 to start, but that's because the portions are huge. My brother-in-law ordered the double blueberry pancakes, and they were the size of the plate! I had the Outstanding Oatmeal which came with pecans, craisins and low-fat yogurt. It was also supposed to come with brown sugar and multigrain toast, but they forgot mine. Which was ok, because the oatmeal was extremely tasty and filling enough without them. Most seating is inside, but there are 3 small tables on the outside patio as well. Gluten free pancakes, waffles and french toast are available. Classic coffee and juices are standard, but they also offer mimosas. Patti's is perfect for those with big appetites. You will definitely leave full, or at least with plenty of leftovers for later!
