If you like the freshest possible bread that is like they have in Europe, then this is for you. If you love delicious food made to your liking and right in front of you, this is for you. If you want to eat in and love a cozy coffee shop vibe, this is for you. Speaking of coffee, it's great. They do a great lunch as well, wash, rinse, and repeat what I said above. Anyway, this is a wonderful gem in Lemont and I believe they have one elsewhere too. Props to Rustic for being the best at what they do!

(Different flavors, Jalapeno /ranch isn't vegan) I go here more than the average person SHOULD lol. This location has less seating than the lemont does but there is a beautiful park nearby. Service is TOP tier. I would give 6 stars if I could. Maybe even 7. I love rustic! bring everyone here! Family, friends, grandparents, heck little sisters or brother. Even co-workers or business.

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!

Coming to Dotty's is my little getaway. I'm sure many retired people feel the same way, we don't…read moreget out much in our old age. When I'm there, I like to relax, unwind, and just enjoy playing my game. Some staff members make that a little difficult always looking over your shoulder or making pushy comments about tips. But with that being said I've been to several Dotty's locations over the years, and I've recently had the pleasure of running into a younger girl named Courtney a few times now. I've never felt compelled to write a review but I finally had a chance to sit down and write this because she truly deserves the recognition. Courtney is one of the nicest and most helpful young ladies I've met at a Dotty's. She has amazing customer service for such a young girl. She is very knowledgeable, always friendly, and goes out of her way to make sure everyone is comfortable and having a good experience. She does all of this without being pushy or overbearing, which I really appreciate. She keeps everything running smoothly, always makes sure my soda is filled, the snacks are stocked (especially my cookies), and the place feels welcoming. You can tell she takes pride in her job and really enjoys helping people. Her kindness and positive attitude are what stand out the most. I always look forward to seeing Courtney when I come in because she makes my visits that much better. Dotty's is very lucky to have her, and I hope to see her again soon!

Another unhappy customer. Machine stops working in the middle of a game and kicks out my voucher…read moreand then goes into a full reset. I go to cash my voucher ($130) and leave and the system says my voucher is invalid. Ask the attendant and she says it will take over an hour and wants my name and phone number??? I told her I'd come back later and cash it and she says, "kinda makes you mad don't it". Huh?? Seems like they have no trouble taking money but when their machines lock up the customer is the loser. I've been there three time total and each time one of the customers has a machine malfunctioning, this time was my turn. Avoid like the plague.

Some color would be nice, but this place is clean and there's a lot of seating. I ordered a hot coco ube coffee and customized it to 50% sweet using the kiosk. There was only one person working here when I put the order in, but someone else came in later to help. My drink took a little time, but the space made the wait tolerable. Glad to see a nice variety of different boba drinks here and having the option to dial down the sugar. It's nice to see some real coffee and tea offered with the fruit drinks, smoothies, and such. You can also get bubble waffles here which are always a good choice. Novatea should be your regular boba spot, if you're in the area.

My wife's Ube drink had a richer flavor than others because they used pieces of the actual fruit. I enjoyed my waffle ice cream as it wasn't the typical waffle cone; once most of the ice cream was gone I ate the rest like a sandwich. The inside was also spacious and comfortable.

There's a lot of seating inside (with AC in the hot months) or plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy your ice cream outside. We also like taking our ice cream for a walk through downtown to look at the river just enjoy the scenery. Note that if you have mobility challenges with stairs, this place may be difficult to access. The entire area is full of very steep hills, and there are a few steps to get up to the entrance of the store front. There may be an alternate entrance/way in that avoids stairs, but I'm not sure where it is.
