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. There's often events going on here so check the website.

For a little coffee shop this place exceeded my expectations. Me and my wife recently came here…read moreafter visiting the pumpkin patch nearby and we need a place to sit down and visit. This is a 2 in 1 store. It's a coffee store and it's also a little boutique shop next door as well. The coffee shop feels like you're in a upscale Lounge. There is free Wi-Fi upon purchase. This place is very quiet and peaceful at the same time. The drinks here are very affordable. I absolutely love the fall specialty flavors that they have here. This place was incredibly amazing. They have some food here as well that I unfortunately did not have time to try. Overall, I highly recommend checking this place out.

It's absolutely popular and I love how customer focus it is with giving it a vibrant environment that feels like I'm inside of a college hangout. The lines here are a bit long at times of the day, there's offices conducting businesses to around you as well. It's a great place that features events happening too. They are also dog friendly and they have non - caffeinated options. Guest interactions me and my wife enjoyed were the photo booth as well as the games nearby. Prices here are very reasonable and we met the owner who was very nice and courteous! She definitely knows how to knock out orders quickly! The warm, vibrant atmosphere was inviting and I was very appease with my visit and specially that a place like this exists in Joliet Illinois is absolutely incredible. I highly recommend checking this place out!

I was excited to check out the new local coffee shop in town--and it exceeded expectations. The…read morespace was surprisingly spacious, welcoming, and perfect for chatting, studying or just chilling. The staff was incredibly friendly and easy to talk to, which made the experience even more welcoming. I was torn between trying the special Nana Latte or the Horchata Latte, but with limited time, I went with the Banana Nana Latte. You could really taste the quality of the espresso, and the house-made syrup complemented it. The drink was light, flavorful, and not overly sweet (which is something I like). We also tried the cold brew, which was a solid go-to for coffee lovers. Next up was the chocolate croissant--and as people who love a good croissant (and have even had them in Italy), we were impressed. It was one of the best we've had in a long time. I'd go back for that croissant every time, though I'm also curious to try their other baked goods. As a tea lover, I'm excited to explore their tea selection. The merch was also cute and trendy. I was not able to hear the music the dj has to offer but I'm sure it's groovy and a perfect touch for the vibes. As someone who likes dj sets, I will make my back. This shop is a gem for the community, and I'm happy to keep supporting them. Can't wait to go back!

There's so much to look at everywhere you turn, it's easy to lose track of time just taking it all in. I loved all the little details, like the spools of thread on the light fixtures and the bed headboard used as a railing. The mix of antiques, vintage cloth, and bright, colorful decor makes the whole space feel fun, classic, and full of charm. The food was amazing. The pastries were so soft and delicious--they really do melt in your mouth. The main entrées were just as good--full of flavor and perfectly portioned, leaving you satisfied without feeling too full. The tea was served so nicely and made the whole experience feel extra special. The service was just as great. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and quick. They knew the menu well, gave great recommendations, and were happy to help with any special requests. Overall, it's a beautiful and relaxing place to enjoy good food and tea. Definitely a five-star experience!
