The café con leche was smooth and flavorful with that classic Spanish-style taste--8.5/10. I also tried the strawberry lemonade, which was refreshing, slightly sweet, and loaded with fresh strawberries. Easy 8/10. For food, I had both the beef and chicken empanadas. They came out warm, fresh, and packed with flavor. I'd give each a 7.8/10. The real highlight is the atmosphere. The back area was a great place to sit and watch FIFA, and the overall vibe was relaxed and welcoming. It's the kind of café where you can enjoy a coffee, grab a snack, catch a game, or post up with your laptop and actually get some work done. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

All baked goods are made on premises ( not just the crepes.) Croissants, mini Bundt cakes, brownies, cake pops, etc. Many styles of coffees, hot teas, and bubble teas. Signature drinks. I had a hot espresso latte with condensed milk,skim milk, and cinnamon. Excellent! I brought home the Bananas Foster crepe and the Classic and they were Amazing!! Why would anyone go to Dunkin or Starbucks for all those hot cold coffee drinks when you have the real deal here. Made with better ingredients & care. Let's keep these small businesses thriving! Highly recommended!

Bubble waffles (or egg waffles) are one of the most popular street snacks in Hong Kong. They're…read moremade from simple ingredients, but are absolutely comforting and delicious to eat. They're made out of leavened egg batter cooked in a honeycomb-shaped mold. The distinctive feature is the egg-shaped bubbles on the outside. I had a late night craving for one and visited Double Bubble Cafe in Maywood. They just opened 3 months ago and are located in the business district on Pleasant Ave. There's plenty of angled parking in the area. The interior has a rubber duck theme. Adorable and fitting! It's a small spot with very limited seating. There's one table and a few stools near the window. The menu offers bubble waffles, crepes, pastries, bubble tea, baked goods, and coffee. You can build your own crepe/waffle or you can choose from signature creations with pre-selected ingredients. They have a large variety of toppings and sauces. I ordered the Ying & Yang (~$9) signature bubble waffle which comes with crushed oreos, mochi bites, nutella, and white chocolate drizzle. Service was quick and friendly. The waffle came out hot and fresh. It was crispy on the outside with a soft and chewy inside. The flavor was similar to egg custard with hints of vanilla. They did not skimp out on the toppings! I indulged in the chocolatey goodness. The mochi bites were chewy with a mild sweet rice flavor. GET BUBBLY!!!

Really worth the trip. The service was absolutely great too. Very attentive and sweet. Loved the display and the decor of the place too. Overall, 10 out of 10!! Very lovely bakery.

I'd probably pass on the croissants next time and try another baked item. Would definitely visit again! Great spot for friends, family, or a date. Definitely visit if you're in the area!

The two people behind the counter were extremely friendly and welcoming. It was noon and I was the only person at this time. I asked for suggestions they recommended the banana pudding latte or tiramisu and I decided on tiramisu which was beautifully presented and strong! I usually like sweet but this was decent I also didn't ask for more sugar in it. I tried their almond croissant which although it wasn't warmed up tasted good. Overall I'd come back to try other drinks.

My husband and I stopped in here midday to grab some treats as we were exploring our new neighborhood. Since it was the middle of the day, the selection in the already small shop was slim, but the woman behind the counter was sweet and made what turned out to be some solid recommendations. Our two picks were both very decent. The empanada was the kind of fried goodness that would speckle a brown bag in the mere minutes it took to get from the counter to our car parked outside. With a crunchy exterior and meaty inside, this was the perfect snack. We also took a chance on a round pastry that turned out to be a delicious savory sort of bread. While neither blew our minds, we were charmed by the small store and its eager workers. The store is small and somewhat dim, with no seating available. All breads and cakes seem to be made fresh each morning. This is a sweet neighborhood spot - worth checking out if you're in the area and in the mood for pastries.

First off: a very simple coffee menu (no Starbucks or Dutch Bros foo foo stuff here) just real Italian coffee. I ordered a macchiato with a double shot of espresso I noticed the pastries and you can't have a great Italian coffee without a delicious pastry. Sat down to enjoy my coffee and pastry a wonderful and delicate smell: freshly baked croissants, and other pastry goodies soooooo I had to enjoy another pastry and again, it was delicious. Overall great coffee and delicious pastries!

Great customer service! Stop in for breakfast, coffee and/or a pastry! They also have smoothies.
