My daughter had a tennis tournament at College of Dupage which really doesn't have much around it…read more(from what i could tell). When we started to get hungry just being spectators I sent my dad out to find some food. I did a quick search on Yelp and pointed him the direction of County Farm Bagels. Similar to the tennis courts at College of Dupage he said the bagel place wasn't easy to find, but he made his way there. From there he ordered 2 sandwiches and then realized he forgot his wallet at home. Oops. And he's about 10 years behind when it comes to having apple pay on your phone. The woman at the bagel shop was nice enough to let him call me and pay over the phone. 20 minutes later he made his way back to Dupage and I enjoyed a poppy bagel filled with egg and cheese. It was a bit too cheesy for my liking, but still tasted pretty good and I was famished so anything would do. I also don't find Chicagoland to have the best bagels, but this one was pretty soft! This is quite far from me in the North Shore, but if i find myself in the area again (likely for another tennis tournament) I'd stop here for a quick bite to eat.

Yesssss, FINALLY a bagel spot in my area that I actually like!…read more A friend and I stopped in on a late Friday morning and the place was consistently busy. Even with the influx of customers the staff members kept up with it and provided excellent service. Tip - bring cash to avoid a 3% CC charge. This location is smaller/narrow compared to the Winfield 1. Indoor seating is good for 10-15 people. I got the cheddar oregano bagel toasted with veggie cream cheese. The bagel itself was flavorful and had a decent texture. I should have asked for have it be double toasted but that's just my preference. I enjoyed the cream cheese too. I also should have asked for them to drown my bagel with it but again, that's my B. Overall flavors were there for me and I really liked it. I'm particular when it comes to bagels and I'm happy to have finally found my go to bagel shop in the SW burbs. I'll be coming back to try more items very soon!

We're very lucky to have this cute bagel shop in the community. Everything is baked fresh, and they…read morehave a great selection of options here. There's something for sweet or savory lovers. Their options of cream cheese are also amazing. Service is always fast, so don't let any long line discourage you. The quality of everything here is 5/5. I just sometimes find the value not always hitting the mark. Some days my bagel sandwiches have more substance inside, some times there's less. When they make your sandwiches hearty, the price is justified. When they don't put as much inside, it's hard to justify the value because you know you've gotten better made sandwiches. Their coffee is also very overpriced for what it is. It's not good enough to justify over $5 for a tiny iced coffee, especially when they're using a corporate brand coffee. Wish they'd find some local coffee, then the price would be more justified. Regardless, the taste is always spot on. Just wish they had hash browns!

They close at 2pm on Sunday so we didn't stay there longer, but it was a good experience, the staff was ok, not bad or great.

No coffee I wanted in either of the 2 urns. When I asked about it, they made some, but acted like it was a huge imposition. Empty cream pitcher, no other options. The entire dining area was being mopped, with the signal that they didn't want you there. When I asked if they would please cut my sandwich in half, they refused. ???? Customers are really a bother to most employees here. Made the whole experience unpleasant.

Blackberry Market is one of my favorite lunch spots. It's also a great place to grab a coffee and…read moredo some work. They have a decently sized seating area, and in the warmer months, there's a patio to sit outside. It can get a bit loud inside during the weekends and peak hours, so not ideal if you prefer quieter environments to do work. I absolutely love their brownies, especially their blackberry brownie, but they were out the day I went so I got the red velvet cupcake instead and it was perfectly moist and soft. You truly can't go wrong with any of their bakery items. I also got the pesto pasta salad, which I highly recommend.

My sister suggested Blackberry Market in Glen Ellyn for lunch. They have a great selection on their…read moremenu for both breakfast and lunch, and they also have ready-to-go items in a refrigerated case. I had the pick two, which was a half a sandwich (grilled cheese) with a half salad (kale Caesar). The salad was so good! Fresh, crisp and lightly dressed. However, the grilled cheese was pretty sad. I opened it up and there was hardly any cheese. It was just like eating two pieces of grilled bread. They need to improve on that for sure. I also had their 12oz wildflower latte which was very tasty, but served lukewarm and not hot. If the milk is not steamed, it will bring down the temperature of the coffee. I like my specialty coffees served hot. I do have to say every staff member we came in contact with was friendly. They seemed happy and were there to help and answer questions. You place your order at the counter, and you receive a number which you display at your table. There are two dining areas with tables and a few booths to dine at next to where you place your order. Members of the staff bring your order to the table. We didn't have to wait long for our drinks and food. Even with the sad grilled cheese sandwich which was disappointing and the lukewarm latte, I would definitely go back to Blackberry Market again to try other items on their menu. I'll pass on the grilled cheese, though.

It's been on our list for a while and we finally tried it a few weeks ago. Cute place with…read morefabulous music playing in the background. 80's music that we loved with several remixes. For drinks, I started with the lychee martini and then moved to the Fire and Ice. I loved the Fire and Ice drink. My husband found a new Pinot Noir that he now loves - Submission! For starters - we got the Brussels Sprouts Crostini. Unique appetizer to try - if you love brussell sprouts. For entrees, we got the cauliflower steak and fried chicken. I loved my cauliflower - the hummus and pita bread with it made it perfect. I wasn't trying for an all veggie meal, but it truly hit the spot. Nothing too heavy at all. My husband liked his fried chicken but wished it was spicier. He took half home and was able to spice it up with a sauce. Overall - a great meal that we would go back to if we were in the area.

There is limited seating so it is primarily first come first serve. Their espresso machine was out of order while we were there. However, no big deal we still enjoyed everything else.

I also got the Vanilla Coconut latte, which basically tasted like a coconut latte, so if you love coconut it would be your jam. Service was fine, the folks working there were pleasant. It has lots of bright natural lighting, and plenty of seating, but I do wish the chairs were more comfortable. This isn't a place I would bring a laptop to set up shop and work for a few hours, personally, but others may feel differently. Parking lot had plenty of space as well, which was great. If I'm in the area again I would go back.

Heading further in, you'll find the ordering counter, and you can even catch a glimpse of coffee beans being roasted, which adds a nice touch to the atmosphere. They offer both a seasonal menu and a straightforward regular menu, making it easy to find something you like. Overall, the environment felt calm and laid-back. The staff were more on the quiet side personally, I'm used to more outgoing baristas, but that's just a matter of preference.

My friends and I were looking for a spot for post-lunch coffee and found Five and Hoek. It is a…read morereally cute, modern cafe in Wheaton. The building looks like it was converted from a church, and the back seating area has some high stained glass windows. In the middle of the cafe is a narrow hallway/corridor where the supply closet and the single stall bathroom is, so it segments the cafe into two areas, connected by this hallway in the center. The design feels very clearly like a remnant of an old historic building, and a brick alleyway runs along one side. In the space/room where you order (walking through the seating area and through the hallway), it opens up with huge windows and a huge industrial coffee grinder on full display. There's another counter to order, with a few pastry options, and along another side wall, a rack of F&H clothes for purchase and the drink menus. (The aesthetic reminded me of Blue Bottle.) I ordered an iced Whiskey Vanilla Latte with oak milk and it was good! I couldn't taste any whiskey at all, and when I ordered the barista had mentioned this (cooked off so you wouldn't taste it) so it was a decent vanilla latte. I'll give them props for a really cool unique flavor. We all grabbed our drinks and headed (back through the hallway) into the other room with the seating area. There is a small section with a couch, otherwise lots of tables and chairs and I was glad it wasn't too crowded so we were able to grab a table. This was a great spot to grab coffee and meet up with friends. It's in a neat little downtown area in Wheaton, and they offer creative coffee drinks, with beans and merch to purchase.

Decent choice of vegan choices, especially if you bring your own vegan butter. I am not GF, but I loved my potatoes cooked in oil (not butter) and vegan by default) and vegan muffin.

I also cannot say enough about their morning beverage libations. Wo does not love a Bellini with breakfast?

First the cashier seemed like he was on some type of substance he kept staring off into the air and wobbling back and forth. Even the guy in front of me was getting frustrated because the cashier was holding the customers change and swaying back and forth not giving it to him... when it was my turn, I handed him cash and he just stared at it for a good 15 seconds not knowing what to do with it. His shirt was covered in filth and he THREW my bag on the counter and walked away immediately. I came in again today, the same guy was there and his shirt was FILTHY again. He proceeded to throw my bag on the counter again, I said thank you and he walked away without saying anything. This guy is very rude and they should not have somebody at the front of the house working like this. I gave two stars because the food is good, the service is just terrible. I gave this place a second chance, but I will NOT be returning.
