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 tried the Lavender Blu, which was a unique flavor combination--interesting, but I would probably try a different coffee next time. The breakfast sandwich was really good and flavorful, and I was happy with the quality overall. The staff was friendly, and the interior had a really nice aesthetic. It is on the pricier side--I paid $24 for my order--but overall, it was a pleasant experience.

It was a pretty chilly morning, so I was definitely in the mood for a cup of hot coffee. Around Cafe is one of many shops around the station, which makes it very convenient. I can see myself becoming a regular if I lived in the area and had to take the train into Chicago for work. It's a nice little mom-n-pop store that's set up nice and cozy. I had a cup of espresso matcha latte, which was exactly what it sounded like. Definitely hit the spot for me. The place probably had maybe 5 to 7 tables for seating and most of them were occupied despite it being pretty early. Lady baristas were all very nice and lively, which made the atmosphere nice also. This was my one and only visit, so I don't like to settle on a verdict yet, but if I'm in the area, I can see myself visiting in the future.
