The cold brew was incredibly watered down and barely tasted like coffee. It feels like they have reused the grounds several times as the color and taste was very off.

Don't know what it is but I've been really into banana flavoring this year so it was fantastic news…read moreto find this locally owned coffee spot a short drive from an appointment in Bolingbrook this past weekend that has a banana bread latte on their seasonal menu. I ordered at the drive-thru window. Staff were friendly and service was quick. I agree with others that $9 is on the pricey side for a 16oz drink. The banana bread flavoring tasted good but it could have used more banana. Still, it was really creamy with a nice ratio of sweetness. I'd be interested to try other options the next time I'm around.

Driving through the area after a solemn occasion and needed a pick me up to get me back to the Chi…read more The cafe was kinda quiet until a rush hit. Being that Ramadan had recently started, I assumed this was post iftar, the evening break in the fast and peeps were coming for drinks and desserts. The drink menu is on a display but it doesn't mention what flavors are associated in some of their custom drinks. I was split between a Habibi, coconut or Biscoff flavored lattes. A conversation with the barista pushed me towards the aforementioned and they said they could lighten the sweetness. I don't remember the details of exactly what gives its "Middle Eastern flair", the flavors worked and kept me awake for the drive. Judging from the many orders being called out, I picked the most popular. If you dig chill spaces to work & or meet new peeps, seek out details on their IG page. They host lively events to discover their new menu items and or trivia nights engaging popular topics Ie Star Wars, Marvel, and more.

For the cost of the items, I was disappointed in nectar. We ordered 2 drinks and 2 food items and…read moreit was almost $50. The caprese panini was bland. It was not toasted and felt lukewarm. There was a lot of lettuce on the sandwhich. Cheese was ice cold. It was served with a side of stale tortilla chips. My cold brew was nothing special. This place seems OK for groups that want to have conversations as there were some loud ones on day of my visit. If you are trying to work or read, this place is too noisy for that. Parking is shared with other businesses in the strip mall.

Now that I got that out of the way, the owner is so so friendly. We had a Turkish coffee while deciding on which Turkish delights we would have. All of them were really good and I can't wait to go back for more. I thought the box would last us a week but it was barely half full by the time we made it home! It's such a pleasant experience and there is so much to learn if you haven't had any of these treats or the coffee (and how it's made) that it is worth the visit just for this, and the interaction with the owner, of course!

Unfortunately, Brewed Awakening was not my favorite. The menu is a bit overwhelming with signage…read moreeverywhere in shop (and no menu online), so I wasn't aware when I was ordering a latte that adding a flavor would be a whole $1.25 more. They also put my iced latte in a hot latte cup because she said the espresso was hot... which is odd because yes, fresh espresso is always hot. And they didn't have skim milk or oat milk., which are my two go to's. My daughter wanted a scone though, which was the best part! Service seemed rushed (i.e. before I was even done putting my card back in my wallet, she was taking care of the next person by shouting over me), which made me feel frazzled. However, it is just a short walk to the park, which was perfect. Just not sure I would be rushing back anytime soon, which is sad because I love supporting local businesses when possible.

This was my first time trying Yemeni coffee, and the experience was truly unique!…read moreThe space is beautifully decorated with a great vibe, and the staff was super friendly and welcoming. Since it was my first visit, they kindly let me try a few samples before ordering. I tried the Jubani and the Mofawer. Both have very exotic, distinct flavors. They lean on the sweeter side, and because of the strong spice blend (lots of cinnamon and ginger), the aftertaste ended up feeling a bit like ginger/scallion aromatics to me. It's definitely an acquired taste if you're only used to standard coffee or espresso drinks, but it's very interesting to experience. Top-notch service and a lovely atmosphere overall. Even though the traditional spiced coffee flavor profile wasn't fully for me, it's a wonderful spot if you love spiced drinks or want to try something culturally authentic!
