    Stopped into MOTW Coffee in Lombard for a morning treat! They have (4) IL locations throughout the burbs and this was my first time visiting one. I was surprised at how large the inside was with plenty of seating to catch up with friends, work remote, or have a solo date. Their menu is not overly large but I appreciated how straight forward it was. All food items were also on display which helped me decide easily. I ended up ordering the Iced Rose Cardamom Latte & French Toast Muffin. My order was ready within minutes and the staff member even heated up my muffin some. I thought the Latte flavor came through nicely and I thoroughly enjoyed my muffin.

    The place was open, welcoming, and had a calm atmosphere. It was pretty quiet, which makes sense for a morning visit -- though I did wonder if, like some other coffee shops, they choose not to play music at that time. I ordered a small iced vanilla lavender latte (decaf, of course). It started off great -- the first few sips were flavorful -- but as I kept drinking, the taste seemed to fade. I also got an asiago bagel with cream cheese, which didn't disappoint. Next time, I'm planning to try their biscotti latte -- it sounds promising!

    Samosa empanada

    Popped in for a quick coffee and snack before I got a tattoo at Alchemy right up the road. Staff were very friendly, easy to order. The coffee shop is huge and seems easy to settle into with a laptop to do some work. The latte was pretty good, couldn't taste much of the pistachio but it is a subtle flavor. I enjoyed the samosa, it was essentially just samosa filling inside an empanada casing. I love that they have a multi-religion prayer/quiet room available to anyone to use. Seems like they have a great work ethic. Overall a great coffee shop!

    It is true about their parking lot. The parking lot facing the apartments are residential and the lot facing the cafe along with shared shops are public. Make sure you park on the correct side just in case. It doesn't look like it from the outside but the inside is huge. There is no shortage of seating unless it gets absurdly busy. They have lattes, refreshers, espressos, chai, hot teas, ice cream, pound cakes, and a variety of pastries. The menu is Middle Eastern inspired with influences from Latin America (empanadas) and America (muffins and croissants). We ordered a date cardamom latte, green, strawberry, mango refresher, pistachio milk cake, and bird's nest baklava. The drinks were good. Neither was too sweet or bitter. The pistachio milk cake was surprisingly very moist and flavorful. The bird's nest baklava was not sweet, a good crunch from the pistachios and bird's nest. Service was very friendly. The employee explained what all of the pastries were and whether or not they were too sweet. Pricing was fair.

    We came here on a Wednesday night. It is a big cafe that opens late. It is a perfect place for people to hang out, do work, or study. They have many different varieties of pastries to pick from: croissants, muffins, milk cake, baklava, Dubai chocolates, and empanadas. They also have a lot of different flavors on lattes and refreshers. We ordered pistachio milk cake, bird's nest, strawberry mango refresher, and date cardamom latte. The milk cake was very moist and not too sweet. I like the bird's nest the best because I love pistachios. It was crunchy and filled with pistachio. It wasn't too sweet. It made me want to get a second one. The latte was good. The staff was nice and friendly. He took the time to tell us what each item was. I wish they had tags on some of the items so we don't have to ask him what each item is. I would go back again to try the other pastries.

    Pretty and peaceful and opens late til 11pm so it's really nice. Free WiFi and parking and nice area and safe. Staff are nice. Food is nice. Space is huge and beautiful. Love the decor. Music is not blaring loud so it's nice. Love Yemeni coffee and desserts. Brightly lit and there's a nice apartment bustling across the street and other restaurants nearby. They also have an interfaith prayer room! How nice and respectful for those who want to practice their religion. Will love to return all the time if I could. The chai tea was really good w cardamom.

    Cool coffee shop to work or socialize. Great coffee and too many yummy looking treats - it was hard to decide which one. Seating is comfortable and plentiful. Lots of natural light from the n=many windows.

    Great spot with fast, friendly service and a welcoming vibe. The place is spacious and clean perfect for relaxing with a small group without feeling crowded. The food and pastries not only look amazing but taste just as good. Prices are on the higher side, but you get what you pay for...

    Date Cardamon latte
    Luke S.

    Their date Cardamon latte was excellent. One of the best lattes I've had. The date cookies were also excellent and perfectly done. The service was great. There is plenty of places to sit inside the ambiance is better than most coffee shops in the area, and better than anything in St Charles/Geneva (where I'm based). It's truly a hidden gem in that regard. The only negative was the croissant I ordered was stale, and impossible to chew - not fresh. I would recommend their coffee and date cookies, just maybe skip the croissants. I will ignore than in the review because everything else was perfect. A very nice place that elevates downtown Lombard.

    i've been eyeing this place for a long time, but never had the chance to come since it's an hour away from me. I had something to do in the area and finally got to try. i love this place!! the coffee shop is open super late and also early if you're a morning riser!! tons of tables. there's outside seating as well (which was very dusty unfortunately). i got a seasonal drink, the Biscoff Pumpkin and it's super good. $7.68 for a medium is pretty absurd though, but at least it's tasty i guess. yes, the wifi reaches outside!! and there are a few outlets to use along the walls. i wish i lived closer!!

    Crumb cake and the best cappuccino I've ever had
    J S.

    A perfect cup, beautiful space, and a mission worth supporting Easily one of the best coffee shop experiences I've ever had. My cappuccino was outstanding, probably the best I've had in my life. My wife's chai tea was equally impressive, and the crumb cake we shared was delicious. The space is beautiful, with a smart, modern aesthetic, touches of Turkish and Middle Eastern design, plenty of natural light, and immaculately clean. Their mission is inspiring, and it's worth taking a moment to browse the book they have on display about it. Nasser, who was working during our visit, was very friendly and attentive. He mentioned there's another location in Skokie, which is closer to where I live. I'll probably start going there regularly.

    This coffee shop is beautiful, empowering and spacious. Nice natural light and great hazelnut latte. Service was very friendly and prompt.

    Prayer room
    Cassie T.

    What a beautiful coffee shop! There is an abundance of parking, and the shop itself is very clean and spacious, looks like a great place to get some work/studying done. Brownie points for the prayer room! We tried the biscoff latte and Spanish latte. The employee gave me a heads up that the biscoff latte would be sweet, and she was right lol. The medium comes with two scoops of biscoff and you could get less but I tried the full order anyway, it was sweet but tasty! The Spanish latte has condensed milk and cinnamon and that was pretty good as well. They offer a bunch of pastries and even tres leches cake in different flavors (coffee, pistachio, Nutella?). I fully regret not getting a cake but I will be back for sure lol I think the best part about this coffee shop is the service. Phenomenally welcoming and friendly staff, thank you to the kind workers that helped us today :) 10/10 recommend trying this place out for the good vibes

    I went to this location because I didn't like the selection at the Winfield location. It looked…read morelike yesterday's product that didn't sell, and I got there right when they opened. But, I am reviewing the Lombard location. The selection was good and fresh, although some of their items are a bit pricey. I ordered cake pops, brownies, and a chocolate chip cookie. The sales person was pleasant and quick. This store is their biggest store, and they feed the Winfield and Schaumburg stores. They make their pastries at this location, so you'll probably get the freshest selection at the Lombard location. I had bought a gift card from Costco for Sweet Reserve. I admit if I hadn't bought it, and received a discount at Costco for it, I probably would not have noticed the store. It's in a small strip mall on Roosevelt road which has hundreds of strip malls off the road. The store itself is clean and well kept. It does have a limited selection of products but they were all pretty good. The brownies are very frudgey, just the way I like them. The cake pops are sweet, but a little dry. The cookie has a lot of chips in them. Overall, I liked the place.

Close at 10pm but if you need longer later hours a 1am tea shop is about a quarter mile down the road with good options also. Parking lot with plenty of parking. My highlight is that they have booths. Plenty of tables and seating. Good menu options for lattes, iced, hot, espresso, etc. Reasonable priced and they have 20oz coffee. The service was nice as the girl was kind but she didn't seem to understand me well and she didn't know if the coffee was Turkish or not. Therefore, I ordered an Americano with their homemade pistachio sauce. It was a nice beverage. I also ordered a Turkish bread with ground beef. It too was delicious, hot and fresh. The ambiance is inviting. The pastries and mini to small cake options were quite beautiful. The nose level was very quiet until little ones came in. Still tolerable but if you are studying and it's busy don't forget your headphones. Lol. I studied for about 3 hours and I would definitely return again.

But over the past few months I've been there three times, and every time they are sold out of so many breads and pastries... Today I visited around 1 pm hoping to buy a baguette for dinner, and they were sold out. Since they're open until 9 pm, I asked if they were baking any more of them--but I was told once they're sold out, that's it for the day. So... The baguette shop was going to stay open for 8 more hours with no baguettes? Ce n'est pas bon... The pastries we bought today to enjoy onsite were very good--a strawberry mochi donut and a raspberry cream bite. The cream inside the raspberry treat was sublime. I ordered an iced mocha and couldn't finish the second half because it was too dense and sweet. My daughter was happier with her iced matcha. Folks have noted before that this place feels pricey, and that rings true. It feels almost punitively expensive here. All in all this is a pretty little place, but the supply chain clearly can't keep up and the prices are pretty high. It's probably best for early risers and folks looking for a splurge.

We had the coffee croissant donut, valentines day mochi donut, fruit tart and football creme donut (because Super Bowl!) Service was good, the worker wasn't overly communicative, but did what they had to do and got our coffee orders right. It was pretty crowded for Friday morning, so tables were a little limited, but we managed to find a spot and there were plenty of pastries!

I've been exploring more Middle Eastern cafés lately, and this one stood out in the best way. I ordered a V60, and honestly it was one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had. You can see the care and attention they put into the process, from the precise brewing to serving it with a small pot so I could enjoy the rest at my own pace. The flavor was incredible, smooth and rich. I also tried the pistachio cheesecake, which was absolutely delicious perfectly balanced. Maybe a bit to much chocolate on topo. The presentation matched the taste, and it paired beautifully with the coffee. The café itself has a wonderful atmosphere thoughtfully decorated and very inviting. You can tell a lot of effort was put into creating a warm, stylish, and welcoming space. Between the excellent drinks, the tasty desserts, and the inviting vibe, I left very satisfied and already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend Shaghf Café if you're looking for a quality coffee experience!
