This location is nice because the patio connects right to the reception area. I found that helpful for guests so they didn't have to drive all over the place. We had the ceremony on the outdoor patio. We had about 100 total guests, and the room was spacious for that. Staff decorated the room to our liking. There is a TV available if you have pictures to display, and plenty of table space to hold cards, gifts, etc. The only downfall is that bathrooms upstairs are also shared with golfers. Bridal Party was able to use bridal suite downstairs. Beautiful venue!

There's a quiet pride in the air now, a sense that the place knows it has blossomed. Today's tea service was an absolute treat: elegant, cozy, and full of small delights that made the whole experience feel like a gentle exhale. Every morsel was beautifully balanced, from the crisp, refreshing cucumber canapés to warm flaky scones to the indulgent sweets served with a bright sherbet to cleanse the palate. The pumpkin soup was exquisite, velvety and comforting, and the trio of teas were brewed with the care of someone who respects the leaves. Service was excellent: friendly, attentive, warm without being intrusive, exactly what a tea service deserves. This is a special time of year at Suzette's, when you step in from the cold and are welcomed into a space that feels elegant, glowing, and lovingly kept, a perfect little escape, wrapped in French charm and good company. Oh, and don't leave without taking a few of their goodies home... I will surely enjoy mine during the next few days

I've visited Storybook Cafe over a dozen times since they opened, and every experience has been…read morewonderful. The team consistently provides friendly, attentive service and creates such a welcoming atmosphere. One of my favorite things about Storybook Cafe is their rotating seasonal drink menu, especially their matcha creations. The matcha is clearly high quality, and every drink I've tried has been delicious and thoughtfully crafted. I've brought several friends along on visits, and they have all enjoyed their beverages as well. Storybook Cafe has been a fantastic addition to our community. Whether you're meeting a friend, catching up with family, or simply looking for a cozy place to relax, it's a spot that always delivers. Their new outdoor summer seating is another great feature and makes it even more enjoyable to visit during the warmer months. Highly recommend!

I came here when I was driving into town for my favorite high school teacher's retirement party and…read moreto visit my dad (he was at Delnor -- he's doing well now!). I had picked up my trusty DD iced coffee early in the morning, as I also had a full work-from-home day giving presentations later in the morning and afternoon, so I needed to be fully functional. The large iced coffee wasn't enough, and I've become a matcha girly over the years and wanted the (probably psychosomatic) health perks of it before stopping by the hospital. I texted my friend who lives in Geneva at like 7am (bless her) asking where I could get a matcha, and she suggested Storybook. I remember seeing their info when they opened and hearing great things about them, so I was excited to try it. It's a very cute shop and I love the premise. I loved that they were open (and had a few people already) when I got there at like 7:30 in the morning on a Friday in mid-May. It's great to see people supporting local businesses! Also, the bathroom was clean, which is always a relief in a cafe establishment. The iced matcha (plain -- no syrups or speciality add-ins) was good, but not the best matcha I've had -- definitely more on the grassy side. But man, it's expensive. It was $8.11 after tax for the smallest size (12 oz) with oat milk. And I'm used to northshore Chicago prices, which are usually way higher than the western burbs, so I was shocked by that. (For comparison, I got a 16oz iced matcha with fresh blueberry puree and oatmilk at a French pastry place in Evanston earlier this week for $6.92 after tax, and the 16oz plain oat milk iced matcha I often get from Madam Zuzu's in Highland Park is like $5.50 after tax, or maybe $6.25 for the fancy blue butterfly pea iteration). But, I guess because this is one of the only options for matcha in the area, outside of Starbucks or Dunkin, they have the market cornered and they can charge more. Personally I wouldn't order it again because it's overpriced and not the best, in my opinion. But, I'd love to try some of their coffee options. I do hope that the shop does well and downtown Geneva desperately needs more coffee/tea options, so this is a great addition to the very cute Third Street corridor.

To begin the food was decent, and the restaurant was clean. The sausage pasta was on point and…read morequite delicious. The shaved beef was tough. Note: The service was something that left being desired. We ordered 3 mains: Sausage Pasta, Roasted Chicken, and shaved beef. Two sides of a simple green salad and pasta salad. In addition to rolls. They were going to serve this with water and coffee. To sit 40 people for two hours cost $1700. This was far too much food for 40 people. Though the single scoop of ice cream for a plate cleanser was appreciated. We asked for coffee as it wasn't ready at the time that people were arriving and it was provided. We asked for soda for some variety and they said that they could do so for an additional $2/head. We did so. Bad: When the meal was done we had over half of it left. When we went to see about taking the food with us they had thrown it away. The company said that it was a law that caterers couldn't give out the food. My aunt who ran a similar business in the state of Illinois said she would sign a waiver. The manager said it is against the FDA laws and refused to even just simply state it was the restaurants policy. When my aunt pushed on losing the second half of the food that was paid for they merely gave her three buffet tickets. For the lost of several hundred dollars of food they offset it by three $17.95 tickets. If you are socially conscious about food waste as our family is, only order two trays and a side for 40 people. It is better to leave hungry than to feel the food is simply thrown away. Ways to Improve: Being told this upfront at the time of hosting is important. It will make sure the right amount of food is ordered and dozens of people are not left wondering what happened with the leftovers. The place was clean and so I applaud that.

I found it to be unique and beautiful in the interior. The wall of windows was insane. The happy couple was married, and their guests watched while overlooking the Fox River. The reception/dinner moved to the upper floor and the room and food were excellent, as was the service. I have food allergies and they accommodated them beautifully. I had the chicken with I think some sort of broccoli on the inside and a cream sauce. The mashed redskin potatoes were insanely delicious. Truly a classy and memorable wedding for the couple, their families and the guests. This goes down as one of the nicest weddings I ever attended.
