Both were delicious treats. The service was excellent and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. There is plenty of free parking in the lot and the interior is very homey. I follow them on Instagram and found out that Alex the manager had Dahlia tubers he was willing to share. I enjoyed talking with him about how he learned to grow them from his father. He was so generous and kind with advice. A good soul for the St Charles Community. They also have a location in Roselle I found out. Support this local coffee shop if you are in the area. It is special.

I've heard great things about Maple Leaf Coffee in St Charles and they did not disappoint! Their…read moremenu highlights their house roasted coffee beans and house-made syrups. They have standard flavors as well as seasonal items but their most popular latte flavors are the Cinnamon-Honey and Maple Vanilla. When asking for flavor suggestions, staff told me their vanilla syrup is the highest quality as the concentrate is premium. I ended up ordering a 16oz Maple Vanilla Latte. I loved that the cost difference between sizes was minimal. The latte was the perfect temp and flavor was phenomenal! This easily has to be my new favorite coffee spot in the tri-city area. My husband got the Spiced Chai Latte which was fresh but not as strong in flavor as preferred. Most customers were taking their drinks to go but there were some high-top tables to sit at. This was a great new coffee find for me and I will certainly be back! Tip: Maple Leaf Coffee has a second location in Roselle that is currently only a Roastery but will soon transition into Cafe as well!

We ordered a few of there holiday drinks. I ordered a Oatmilk Holiday Cookie latte and was really good in my opinion 8.5/10. And my fiancé ordered a Chocolate covered Strawberry Latte, which was really great as well. The drinks came out pretty fast, typically usually only around 2 people working from my experience, but really great service. I think this is a hidden gem and will definitely be back.

It started to make me feel sick and didn't want to stay too long. It was also confusing because they only list one price on their menu for every item and don't say a size. So I was confused when the girl asked me what size I wanted and I wasn't sure what price I was paying. I just ordered a medium iced latte with blackberry syrup. They have a lot of different syrup options! I didn't really like the latte that much and couldn't really taste the syrup almost as if it wasn't added. Maybe it's just because I prefer my lattes a lot more sweet and creamy, and this one tasted more like black coffee.

They have their main menu as well as some seasonal specials. They seem to specialize in coffee drinks but also have some tea & food/pastry options. When I visited, I ordered the Iced Whiskey Vanilla Latte. The staff member mentioned it was a popular drink and made in house but the flavor was rather subtle and appeared to be prebatched. My husband got a Hot Chai Latte which was pretty good! This spot could benefit from having more syrup flavors to add to standard products to give customers more variety. Either way, I'm happy I visited.

Again I asked them if this had 3 shots, the barista added another shot and give me a dirty look and said "if this doesn't work for you, let me know if you need 5-6 shots of espresso" like as if I am OverDosing on coffee. I used to come here a few yrs ago and it was actually a nice place but now it's just a room with some chairs and a roasting machine that I haven't seen in action pretty much ever.

All syrup flavors were store-bought pumps but they had standard and seasonal offerings. I went with the Pumpkin Spice Latte with Oatmilk. The drink came to $9 which was expensive for me. The flavor was good and had a good amount of caffeine in it. Beyond the cost, the gentleman working was smoking a cigarette out front when I arrived. He put it out when I walked up and followed me in. I believe he put gloves on but didn't wash his hands. This just left me feeling hesitant about how items are handled.

We already loved the food and atmosphere but Double Egg goes the extra mile. With how busy they were, we didn't have long of a wait. They said about 15 minutes give or take and I feel like it was less than that. We were seated in a booth and attended to fairly quickly. Quick enough that I barely got a chance to look at the menu and get ahold of my toddler. Our waitress gave us more time to check out what we wanted without us feeling rushed. Something I will always love at any restaurant is fresh squeezed juices. My favorite being orange juice, but they do have several others as well. The complimentary soup was delicious. Chicken and rice. I didn't think to order my toddler one because he can be fairly picky and I didn't want to waste it. Bad idea on my end apparently because I only got two bites -- while my toddler devoured the rest. I ordered a quart of the soup to go. SO glad that is an option! When our food arrived, which was fairly quickly in my opinion, my mom's was missing cheese. She brought it to our waitress's attention and her plate was immediately brought back with the missing cheese in place. I got the chilaquiles which were phenomenal. For those who are curious, the salsa verde that is used can be a little spicy for those with a more sensitive pallet. My toddler and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I feel that the prices are very reasonable. When we were leaving, my mother and I were each handed a rose and told happy Mother's Day. This was the extra mile. Not only do they provide so many made-in-house options (fresh squeezed juice, etc), and complimentary soups; they knew that something so small as handing out single roses to mothers, could make a huge impact.. and they did it. For those of us that are single parent and have toddlers, such a small act of kindness really goes a long way. Thank you Double Egg for going the extra mile. We'll definitely be back again.

It has a comfortable local coffee shop feel rather than feeling like a typical chain. The coffee was good and thoughtfully made.

The menu had a nice variety of options, making it easy to find something whether you prefer classic coffee drinks or something a little different. Service was friendly and the overall experience was enjoyable. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that while everything was good, I didn't have a single drink or item that completely stood out as unforgettable.
