Breakfast is served anytime the store is open. Specialty coffee drinks-I enjoyed a flavorful, mellow Latte. Excellent! There's a limited variety of bakery goods, the jalapeño scone and chocolate babka were very good. Sourdough bread loaves are available, but the chocolate sourdough loaves must be ordered three days in advance-but trust me, it's delicious and well worth the wait! (Chocolate bread can be ordered by phone.) I also tried the egg, bacon and cheese breakfast sandwich, it was tasty and quite filling. Service is prompt and friendly, questions answered, food is cooked to order and delivered hot and fresh. A good casual food experience!

I was still slightly full from lunch, so I had a few bites of the cupcake and took the rest home. This place feels like coffeehouses from decades long gone, well before Starbucks changed the coffee landscape. There are plenty of chairs and seats for comfortable seating. And it may be that I arrived when there was no crowd because service was spot on. Although I took advantage of the good weather to sit outside, I will come here when I want coffee and a relaxed atmosphere without any rush.

I was greeted by friendly employees at two counters, one for Andy's Sunflower cafe which sells coffee and tea, and one for food (Ain't She Sweet). I had no idea what to order so I asked the teammate at the counter and after discussing my spice tolerance, decided to go for the Jerk Chicken Wrap since it's so popular. It was a bit spicer than medium, which I was warned, but it was worth it. The chicken was juicy and tender and I was impressed by the freshness of the other ingredients as well as their tortilla wrap selection! The chicken gumbo was also quite tasty. I would order both again. The prices were reasonable, it was a $3 upcharge for a side of soup. I sat in the restaurant to eat and enjoyed the music. I think I might have found my new lunch spot!

The clam chowder didn't have a lot of cream to me, but the clams weren't tough. You know usually when you eat clam chowder, it kinda taste like you're chewing bubblegum. The clams were so tender!! I was very surprised. The banana cake is delicious and moist. It's heavenly!!!!!! My jerk wrap was amazing! The chicken was cooked perfectly and it didn't have too much jerk sauce on it so it wasn't salty. It was delicious. I highly recommend Ain't She Sweet Cafe at either location!!!

This was a very nice coffee shop ... one of maybe a dozen or so new ones that have opened up in…read moreOrland Park/Tinley Park area. The coffee selections are numerous, and you can get them on the strong side or a bit weaker. They also have a number of pastries that can delight your taste buds ... the only glitch we saw was that they did not have a large selection of croissants. For example, we could not get just a plain croissant. But even given that, this was a very nice coffee stop for those that really like good coffee. The dining room was nice and large, with many different sections to settle into with your coffee. Loads of outlets to plug in your lap top if you come with one for a little work. Staff was very friendly, and it is pretty much an order at the counter and get your coffee. They don't need a large staff to run this place, as it pretty much runs itself other than the coffee-master. Give this place a try.

I always opt in for the hot Pistachio latte. It's not too rich, but enough to quench your sweetness for a delicious drink. There's plenty of seating but this place is always packed. I don't think I've ever gone in when it's empty, whether it's noon or night. There's also quite the selection of pastries! So many delicious desserts and buns! You can't go wrong with any selection. Everyone is friendly and helpful at Marouf! This is one of my favorite coffee houses in the SW burbs!

The place itself looks cool, with a stylish black and white aesthetic and a great logo (we loved the skull sipping from the cup). The space is large, though the tables are quite small, but that didn't bother us. What really brought our rating down to one star was the quality and service. We ordered an Americano, a latte, and a chocolate croissant. The shop was nearly empty, and most of the people there were already seated and drinking, so we expected a quick turnaround. Still, we patiently waited around 15 minutes. We're not even upset about the wait -- it happens -- but when we got our order, the croissant wasn't even warm (which should be the minimum at any coffee shop). Even worse was the coffee: flavorless, barely warm, and closer to bland flavored water than anything resembling a proper brew. We came in with good expectations but left dissatisfied and disappointed. Definitely not the experience we were hoping for.

As a absolutely foody to see 3 stars on this app absolutely absurd... I've worked in many breakfast…read moreplaces and as a reviewer for Yelp this restaurant the cook owner has went above and beyond to prepare his food.. I ordered the chilaquiles on point not soggy perfect spice exactly what I was looking for.. I also ordered a broccoli cheddar skillet with avocado and let me tell you I've never had any skillet that had broccoli with seasoning it had a hint of garlic not just grilled and thrown in there that flavor was incredible you don't get that at other restaurants... And then of course my favorite thing waffles I don't know what this man does to the waffles but it was crispy on the outside and kind of lacy inside my kind of waffle not a waffle that you cut into and it looks like a pound cake I can't figure out how he makes it or whatever he does that's how a waffle should be.. He uses fresh potatoes.. and fresh hash browns although ..I was charged which believe me I get I a pecan waffle with pecan inside and out I think I was charged $5 extra but you know what pecans are expensive and boy there was a lot on there I would chop them up though..... Was very clean the windows were clean that's my pet peeve when you walk into a restaurant and you have dirty windows the coffee pots were shiny they take pride the cleanliness of the restaurant my server was excellent very informative I did ask about the owner cuz I was just truly impressed usually when food is made to perfection the most part and this industry it's always not a Greek Hispanic they learn and watch and intact.. I don't know if he had had experience before but whatever he had whatever he knew..he is definitely gifted.... I will give 20 stars to this place I hate I work mornings I can't even get there I just had a day off and I was at urgent Care and we stopped there it makes me feel like breaking a bone and having to go back there just so I can go back for breakfast or just take a day off of work LOL.... There is an automatic gratuity don't be discouraged and understand the area they probably work many years getting stiffed and had no choice.. to succumb to that.... I will definitely be coming back you are my all-time favorite breakfast

Bialy's Café -- Real Breakfast, Real Prices, No Market Price Nonsense…read more After getting finessed at Maple & Jams -- where a skirt steak somehow ran $39.99 (and came out well-done when we asked for medium rare) -- I walked into Bialy's with my guard up, half-expecting another brunch scam. But Bialy's? Straight up restored my faith in breakfast. My girlfriend ordered the skirt steak again -- and this time, it came out exactly how she wanted: medium rare, flavorful, and worth every cent. Price? $19.95. No market price tricks. No guessing games. Just real food with a real price tag. I went with the Denver omelet and a side of sausage links, and let me tell you -- that omelet was fluffy, packed, and hit the spot. The sausage was solid, and we even squeezed in an order of French toast to share. Light, crisp edges, just the right amount of sweetness. You could tell everything was made with care. The crowd was diverse, the energy was positive, and the waitresses were friendly and on top of it. Everyone seemed genuinely happy to be there -- staff and customers alike. Bottom line: I came in feeling finessed from my last overpriced breakfast. But I left full, happy, and reassured that some spots still put people over profit. No market pricing games. No sticker shock. Just good food, fair prices, and people who clearly give a damn.
