Critical Grind is certainly a great place if you like board and card games. Has crap tons to choose from including some most people have never heard about before coming here. The drinks and food aren't the main attraction but these are good mostly. Came here the first time and we just wanted to look around. It's got a counter to order at and a few tables in front. The back is where it's at as far as fun and games. A crap ton of board games are piled up basically. Has so many games back here it's hard to pick just one. The drinks and food are easier choices thankfully. It's about $5 to get a latte. There's some non dairy milk choices including oat. It's about $6 for avocado toast, of which there's a few choices. The Hummzza comes with balsamic glaze, basils, and tomatoes. Great place with lots of fun. It's located in the plaza next to the sports cards store.

Review Visit: May 27th, 2015…read more Gloria Jeans coffee is glorious. After a whirlwind day up in the windy city, my friend and I needed something with some kick to get us the rest of the way home. We reached Joliet after leaving Chicago and knew we needed some caffeine. Now, the chain of events that ended with us at Gloria Jeans at like 8pm during the week in a mall are fuzzy... but they were open and we were there. I've been to Gloria Jeans before but the one near me closed around the time my travel list started. I had been having withdraws for the sugary drinks they sling here, so it was convenient we found one on our route home. My friend had never had it before and she had no idea what was about to hit her taste buds. My go-to drink is the most popular drink on the menu. Its the White Chocolate Caramel Cookie Chiller. That's a mouthful. Occasionally, I will order the wrong drink and that is the Ultimate Cookie Espresso. Both are delicious but my preferred choice is the first one mentioned above. During this trip, my friend ordered the WCCC so I ordered the UCE. I let her sample mine and I got to try hers. I knew what I was in for but she did not. If you've never had Gloria Jeans. Do not go there if you are counting calories. My gosh, these drinks are not healthy for you at all. What they lack in being nutrition they make up for in flavor and sugar and carbs. This isn't like your specialty drink at Starbucks or Dunkin'. No. This place specializes in making these near-milkshake-level of caffeinated beverages. You will feel disgusted with yourself after you are done. You will experience a sugar crash afterwards. You will love every second and every sip as you start that decline to hating life. This is exactly what we experienced on our drive home. Luckily I cut myself off before hitting the bottom of the cup but my friend... she made the mistake and downed the entire thing. She passed shortly after we hit the road. If you find yourself needing a change up from your specialty drink from another coffeehouse, give Gloria Jeans a try. They tend to be located in malls and those are dying off; if yours is located in a mall, get there and try it out before your mall potentially closes down. You'll regret it but you won't at the same time. They do offer more than just the gut-busting, sugar-laden drinks mentioned above, but I have yet to try them. So if the above doesn't suit your taste buds, they do have other offerings to tempt your taste buds.

Decided to grab a coffee after my overnight shift while I waited for Hobby Lobby to open. I ordered…read moremy same drink I've gotten for 6 years now, it was pretty good! Not quite the same flavor, but I'm not that picky. Had no sleeve or double cup so I wouldn't burn my fingers. After about an hour of waiting for Hobby Lobby to open, I had a bathroom emergency and realized I wouldn't be able to wait the extra 15 minutes for the store to open and I couldn't remember if the store even had a bathroom. Wasn't going to take the chance. Drove back to Starbucks and their bathrooms have a door lock on them. Not sure if it's to make sure you're a paying customer or because of the area to keep homeless out? I turned around to go up to the desk and a barista shouted numbers, then someone sitting down repeated the numbers again kind of in an annoyed way. Since I didn't see the person sitting down, I wasn't sure if they were talking about a WiFi password or talking to me since I hadn't said anything yet. I asked if it was for the bathroom, they said yes, so then I was able to enter the code and use the bathroom. I had the receipt on my phone if they needed proof of purchase. I just used the bathroom and ducked out of there embarrassed. Only took off one star because I didn't know the reason for the bathroom situation and it made me feel embarrassed. Felt like the staff thought I was using the bathroom for free without buying anything by the tone of voice. But, that's why I order mobile walk-in orders so I don't need to socially interact like that, less issues that way. Never been to a Starbucks with bathrooms locked, but this is a new building so maybe it's the new thing.
