They have plenty of coffee flavors and options to kick start your morning but also sell bottles of wine and drinks for the evening. This visit, I got a Bourbon Caramel Iced Coffee and my husband got a Hot Chai Latte. The Chai was on the sweeter side but had good flavor. My coffee was the perfect caffeine strength but it could have used a bit more syrup flavoring. Overall, the staff member who helped us was great and very kind! I'd love to come back and try one of their customer favorites.

They really hit the spot. A special shout out has to go to the Tropic Blast wow, that was a truly amazing and refreshing drink. It was a delightful surprise. But the real star of the show for me was the Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Waffle. Seriously, it was out of this world good. If there's any chance at all, you absolutely have to consider making that a regular item on your menu. I think it would be a huge hit. I also picked up a Ham, Egg, and Cheese Bragel without cream cheese, for me. I noticed a good number of your sandwich options seem to come with cream cheese as standard. Perhaps it would be great to highlight options without it, or even offer a wider variety of non cream cheese choices for those of us who prefer something different. On the service front, your staff was fantastic really friendly and super efficient. Just one small, friendly suggestion, I did notice the dining area and general space could use a little extra attention with cleaning. Keeping things sparkling makes the whole experience even better.

This coffee shop is kept clean and can seat about 25 people. There is also a drive thru which makes it convenient for anyone in a rush or just wanting to grab and go. Staff members were very nice! Since it was my first time there it took me a little extra time to decide what to order. They remained patient and extremely helpful. Service was quick, my items were ready within 5 mins. I tried the dark hot chocolate with almond milk and also got a breakfast sandwich (everything bagel with egg and cheese). The hot chocolate was good - not overly sweet and at the perfect temperature where I didn't burn myself. The breakfast sandwich was also very good - it usually comes with sausage and cream cheese, however, I opted to leave those out. Everything was of great quality and I can see myself coming back in the future.

Try it out!

The decor is beautifully done, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. My husband enjoyed the hearty and delicious club sandwich with potato chips, while I had an oat milk and brown sugar latte made with Julius Meinl Italian coffee beans. The latte was perfectly hot and full of rich, smooth flavor. On top of that, the service was absolutely impeccable--friendly, attentive, and welcoming. We're thrilled to have this gem in town and will definitely be back!

Drove from Chicago to Huntley to visit family and desperately needed coffee on the way. Did a quick…read moresearch for a non-chain spot and Calibre was very convenient. The 2 baristas working were very friendly, greeted me right away and made the drinks quickly. I got the biscoff iced latte, which is something I've had many times at other places. I really like that theirs isn't overly sweet, it doesn't have a ton of whip or cookie crumbles or syrup coating the sides which is what I prefer. The ube latte is sweeter but also not overly sweet like other places do. We ordered 16 oz but were given 20 oz cups, the barista said they were out of smaller cups. I think because of this they actually added more milk too, because the coffee taste was very light. I wish there was less milk or more espresso. Prices were high, $17 for 2 drinks is steep for the burbs. I'd come back, but I'd probably get an extra shot or ask for less milk.

Calibre Coffee in South Barrington was honestly a letdown. The place looks nice from the outside,…read morebut the experience didn't match the hype at all. The coffee tasted burnt and overly bitter, like it had been sitting too long, and for the price, that's unacceptable. Service was slow and felt disorganized--staff didn't seem very attentive, and it took way longer than it should have just to get a basic order. On top of that, the atmosphere was louder and less relaxing than expected, which defeats the whole point of going to a coffee shop to chill or get work done. Overall, overpriced, underwhelming coffee, and poor service. Definitely not somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit again.

We stopped in for…read morelunch which I thought maybe they had some light sandwiches or something but really it's more like a breakfast place. But that's OK because I had the most delicious ham and cheese croissant. Of all the places I've ever eaten croissants at this was by far the best one ever. Buttery, fluffy, with just the right amount of ham and cheese inside. Just to bite into it was like I bit into a cloud. The person I was with had the poached eggs with smoked salmon on a croissant and said it was outstanding-best ever. It is on the pricey side, but when you're eating niche food like this, you would expect to pay more money. I did buy some pastries to take home for later macarons, and a couple of pieces of cheesecake and a honey cake which were OK maybe not the best. I wish they had had more flavor. The cherries in the honey cake were lacking that great cherry flavor. The macarons were good bigger than usual or what I'm used to but OK. The cheesecake was too dense for me, but the person I was with and others enjoyed them profusely. The place is adorable inside very cozy, small but plenty of places to sit and the person behind the counter couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. Check this place out if you're looking for a delicious croissant I would really like to also try the sourdough bread which looked amazing.

I tried the Iced Spotted Owl and really enjoyed it--definitely on the sweeter side, but as a hazelnut fan, it hit the spot. The lemon coffee cake bites were a great add-on.
