This is a great stop for coffee and they even have gluten free items available. I had the Lavender Vanilla Oatmilk Latte and a gluten free Lavender Mini Bunt cake. 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. read more

I've heard great things about Maple Leaf Coffee in St Charles and they did not disappoint! Their menu 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! read more

Coffee is always amazing at Maple Leaf! Would definitely recommend splitting the breakfast/lunch, since the portions are pretty large! It is very delicious though. I love the cozy ambiance, there's always plenty of seating, and the service is good, the employees are always friendly and kind. read more

Very pleasant setting. You can sit by the river. The coffee is ok, but weak. The latte is more milk flavored coffee than otherwise. Beans are ok, but the espresso beans were meh. Finally my wife got some sort of scone. It was a mushy mess, they clearly only half baked it. read more

This is a really cute coffee shop. It has a lot of space to sit, and it's also right next to the river, which is really nice. I got the cinnamon and honey latte, which was good. My friend got the pistachio latte, which she said was also good. The girl at front who takes orders wasn't too friendly, but other than that it's a nice coffee shop read more

One of my favorite coffee shops. I love their selection of house-made syrups and they always have a new assortment of bakery items, including some gluten free and vegan. They had a special valentine's seasonal menu, so I got the white chocolate raspberry cold foam latte and it was so good. I also got the white chocolate raspberry scone to go with it. They have a huge seating area that's perfect for doing work or hanging out with friends. I love the outside seating area with the view of the river. read more

For their coffee, the best in downtown St Charles by a mile. Love their Maple Vanilla Latte. Hot or Iced. Their breakfast is solid too - would if you're in the mood for sharing. Great service and ambiance - great for the summer with their deck. read more

Checked out this coffee shop in St. Charles. It happens to be one of a few to get lattes and whatever around here. Maple Leaf Coffee House has a name that sounds like a place to go when it's cold outside. Also can go there when it's hot actually. The prices get kind of high on a few things. Breakfast is typically when it's busy. It's also got lots of choices at lunch. This is somewhere it turns out we had been before, as it used to be another place for coffee, the former location of Kava Diem which looks mostly the same as it was. A lot more than coffee. It's about $7 for the specialty coffees, which is the bad thing about it. The one I got was the Peppermint Mocha Latte. Full of minty fresh flavor. There's also lots to eat, breakfast and lunch. It's about $16 for the Mediterranean Fusion Bowl. This has avocados, black beans, chickpeas, cucumbers, hummus, rice, and sweet potatoes, along with feta, and yogurt herb dressing which I left off. Having a ton in this helps make up for the high price a bit. There's also plenty of baked items like muffins. Great place with a patio along the Fox River so it's one of the nicer places to go early. It's located on Illinois Street close to the parking garage. The menu has many options for vegans and vegetarians. read more

Maple Leaf is exactly what you picture in your head when someone describes a cozy coffeehouse. Walk in a place your order with a welcoming barista but then be sure to keep walking around to find the most fantastic seating areas and outdoor patio by the river. DO NOT sleep on their coffee syrup making class! Not only is it a fun activity but you'll take home a jar of your own delicious syrup. read more

The only positive thing I can say about Maple Leaf is that it's situated with a beautiful view of the river. As for the rest of the ambiance, walking in i was greeted with the strong smell of burnt food and the whole place is filled with a light smoke from the kitchen. The counters are disorganized, cluttered with boxes and dirty rags. Mariah, my barista, was not the least bit friendly. She made no eye contact the entire time I ordered, and ignored my "thank you" when I picked up my drink. She seemed awfully friendly with her other employees though, as they could be heard hollering and laughing in the kitchen through my entire stay, but i'll try not to take that personally. When I saw "roastery" in the title, I expected the quality of the coffee to reflect the time they apparently put into making it. I was greatly disappointed. The cortado was obviously overextracted and burnt, with little to no foam on top. My tea was given to me dripping and made a mess on the table. Overall quite disappointing. One star is deserved for the great view however! -The Honorable Jerry Thomas read more

I needed a coffee while I was walking around, and pleasantly surprised to see the coffee shop was bustling on a fall day. The food options were slim because a lot had been ordered already - which is a good sign! So I just opted for a simple iced americano - great flavor and they cranked it out quickly. The coffee shop is pretty big too if you want to come in, hang out, and enjoy the view. read more

I came here for my first time today and the coffee is soooo incredibly good, exactly what you'd expect for a small coffee shop. People are nice and welcoming and food comes out fast aswell! Def coming back!! read more

Absolutely AMAZING drinks and my ideal cafe setting with a beautiful view and wonderful staff that were busily working my entire time there. Sadly I did not take a picture of my drink.. but I will definitely be back to give an updated review with pics. Here's my breakdown: 10 pts. Creativity 10 pts. Taste 10000 pts. For ambiance and scenery. read more

I liked the view of the Fox River. I wish there was more bakery items. The caramel latte was good.

I found Maple Leaf on social media and have been here a few times. Drinks are delicious and the vibe is great. Maddy is absolutely amazing and is the most helpful. She always gives me the best recommendations. read more

Love this place! Highly recommend. Great food and drinks with lots of seating and a cozy atmosphere. Don't miss out on this incredible spot!

I've been here about 3 times in the past few months, the coffee is decent when made correctly. The staff are never warm/friendly or even greet you as you walk in. I stood there smiling and no "Hi, I can take your order". I'm the one who spoke first. So, off to a bad start. Next, all three times i've been there my drink is made incorrectly. Ordered half sweet iced pistachio latte, it came out full sweet. Ordered iced the next time as well, came out hot. Today I ordered pistachio again and once again incorrectly made and printed on the cup- VANILLA. Are the staff doing this on purpose or what is the problem? I don't think I'll be returning even though when made right, the drinks are good. read more

The Bananas Foster Latte may be the best latte I have ever had in my life. I'll dream about it every night until I get back to have another one. read more

Very cozy coffee shop with amazing coffee! I was searching for a local coffee roaster a couple of years ago and found Maple Leaf in Roselle. When I found out that the St. Charles location had opened, I had to come (50 minutes from where I live). Awesome coffee (obviously), a nice river view with a patio, and a fireplace inside! All the bakery items are tasty too, even though they are a bit pricey. This was my fifth visit and won't be my last! read more

I love the cozy location nestled along the Fox River (and a great outdoor deck). The barista Tommy is ALWAYS upbeat and cares about the customer's wants and needs. I really appreciate a positive attitude (it makes everything taste better). I ordered the classic egg and cheese on GF bread (the best I've had anywhere)! I substituted the regular potatoes for sweet (Maddy, who took my order, was very gracious responding to my request with no issues at all). I love the pop of flavor the garlic aioli spread adds. It was a most delicious experience in all! I'll be back for good, quality food AND service -:) read more

This used to be my favorite coffee shop. They offer healthy food and delicious coffee. Over the last year, the service and staff have been so rude. Anyone who takes my order does not appear to want to be at work and makes me feel bad for ordering and being there, without fail. I have looked past this again and again because of their products, esp the gf offerings for my son who has a wheat allergy (and their fun play area for kids). I understand people have bad days and may be struggling at work on any given day. It's the consistency that's shocking to me. Today, the cashier/barista was so rude to me and the gf oat bar we ordered was so hard we threw it away but I didn't dare say anything. As a consumer, I don't want to feel bad for ordering something off your menu. I'll happily over pay for quality and a pleasant environment. There are plenty of other local coffee shops that have the consideration to fake a smile at a paying customer. read more

Amazing coffee, delicious sandwich, and a table overlooking the river... what a perfect start to the day!

Such a cute place by the river. Coffee and treats are super tasty but minus one star because the banana latte didn't even have a hint of banana. read more

I've been to the St. Charles Maple Leaf Coffee House triple times already visiting on Saturdays twice and once on Sunday . The Saturday shifts were rud and very unwelcoming both times. On Sunday, I got a cup of nice and skillfully made cortado and the service was friendly and effective. read more

loved the breakfast bowl here, lots of seating but is also pretty packed usually! cherry chai is also very good.

10/10 would recommend! Food was great and staff were super friendly. We had the Bacon, Egg & Yum Sandwich, the Farmer's Avocado Toast and the Goat Cheese & Jam Avocado Toast. I'm guilty of eating before taking pictures Atmosphere is perfect for a relaxing bite and delicious coffee. Bring your friends for some quality time, book the back room for an event, come for some you time. You can't go wrong with Maple Leaf Coffee House! I look forward to being able to enjoy their outdoor space in the warm weather! read more

Really enjoyed the breakfast options...and their coffee is the best around! They make it easy to bike to the cafe and provide bike parking and tools for minor repairs - a really nice touch. I'll definitely be returning to Maple Leaf Coffee House before long! read more

I had my book release at MLCH on Sunday 9/7, and Mariah and Carolyn did a fantastic job during the event. Prior to the event, Alex and Brooklyn answered all our questions and took us through all the machinations of the event. Everything went smoothly, the food was terrific, and we felt we were not hurried at the end when there were a few stragglers. I've gone to the coffee house for individual meetings for a couple years, a delight, but this was truly a delightful and professional occasion that served about forty people. I've had nothing but compliments on the occasion from those who were there. read more

Great place to work and have lots of good coffee and food options. If you need to work and have coffee this a great place- lots of different t rooms and seating options both inside and out. Sits along the river so you have great views there. Food is good, a little pricey for what it is- but still good read more

It's awesome to have a vegan option that actually serves food vs only bakery items. That's a huge win. Taste was really good. Chickpea scramble had a gritty texture but taste definitely made up for it! Portions were small for the price (I left feeling like I needed more food) but the flavors were really good, especially when you add hot sauce! read more
