A friend wanted to try "Turkish Coffee" so off we went in search of it nearby. We found it on the…read moremenu of Two Libras, which is a "Euro-ish" coffee stop in an alley in downtown Palatine. They have a large selection of hot and cold drinks, smoothies, pastries, and a variety of "French-ish" sandwiches. On another visit, I'll order food, but today was all about coffee, and since I lived in the French enclave in the US, New Orleans, for an extended time, without glancing at the menu, I automatically asked for a cafe au lait, but the counter man had no idea what I was talking about. So it was cappuccino time, even tho it was past the taboo hour for ordering in Italy. It was perfect. As was the Turkish coffee. Note tho, my friend ordered non cow milk in her Turkish and there was a 75 cent upcharge for that. I'll return and dive into some of the sandwiches soon, which all sound interesting. Gender neutral bathrooms were immaculate.

Enter Tara, who said she'd try her best to make something special. She delivered an adorable bear on my drink! She said she might be able to do better, but I loved her effort and enthusiasm. My friend and I headed outside to enjoy our drinks on the patio. Several minutes later, Tara came outside carrying another latte. She had PERFECTED the latte bear and gave it to us for free! She made my entire day. Thank you to Tara for the amazing art and for going above and beyond in your customer service!! I can't wait to go back for my next coffee and hope she's working when I do.

I ordered the Sweet Honey Bee latte which is one of my absolute favorite flavored lattes. My husband got the London Fog with he also thoroughly enjoyed.

Service was standard and the atmosphere was relaxing. I was disappointed with the cinnamon apple pancakes. My expectations were more of an apple pie filling on top of delicious pancakes, but nothing was reminiscent of apple pie and the pancake flavor was not great. The veggie omelette was alright and the banana nut caramel french toast was nothing extraordinary. There are too many other fine breakfast spots to return here.
