I recently stopped by Kismet Coffee and had a solid 4-star experience overall…read more One thing I was happy to see is that they use Kaldi's coffee so I was excited to try their drinks. The coffee itself was good quality, and you can tell they're starting with a strong foundation. I enjoyed the drinks I ordered, and they were well-made and nicely presented. My only critique is that they leaned a little too sweet for my taste. The flavourings tended to overpower the coffee, and I found myself wishing the coffee came through a bit more. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was friendly, making it an easy place to stop in and relax for a bit. Good drinks, quality coffee, and a pleasant environment. I'd definitely come back, but next time I'd probably ask for less sweetness so I can better appreciate the coffee itself.

Bonus: 2-3 outside tables and a drive-thru.

I will say that I made the trip out here solely for the cinnamon roll. I'm always trying to find…read morethe next best cinnamon roll and I was told to check this place out. So, tonight I decided to stop in for coffee and a cinnamon roll. They have my favorite drink on menu so I figured I would try their flat white. I ordered a regular flat white with extra shot of espresso. The staff that served me was very kind and offered to warm my cinnamon roll. She also noted that the espresso machine was going through a cleaning cycle and it would take longer and asked if that was alright. I stated that was no problem and waited. I'd love to say that everything about my experience here was amazing or even great, but unfortunately it fell flat for me and I feel like I wasted some of my money here. The cinnamon roll, it was pretty darn good. I'm picky with my cinnamon rolls and I would definitely come back here for this one. The cinnamon roll was a great size, very good on price point, and most important it was goood! The dough was soft and fluffy with good cinnamon roll gooeyiness throughout, especially in the center. The cream cheese filling was pretty good, not overly sweet. It did have a bit much icing on it for my personal taste but I don't see this being a problem for a lot of people and I'm pretty use to just scraping some off the top to my liking. So, yes, if you are looking for a good cinnamon roll, come to the Vault for theirs. Definitely worth the trip. Unfortunately, the coffee was a miss. I was unable to drink it because it had way too much milk in it. Even with the extra shot of espresso I could only taste milk. I waited to drink it until I got home and brewed a stronger cup of coffee to add to it and still too much milk. So, I saved it for my kiddo who likes coffee flavored milk. Next time for me I'll be ordering plain coffee or americano with my cinnamon roll. That was unfortunately $6.xx coffee I couldn't enjoy. And I was looking forward to having a great cup of coffee with my cinnamon roll! While I was there I thought I would get my husband a concrete. He loves a good mint concrete with some chocolate to it. I knew he didn't like chocolate chips in his mint though so I asked for mint and krunch. I legit thought this would be a crunch bar broken up in with it. When she handed me the concrete I noticed there were a bunch of sprinkles in it so I asked where the sprinkles came from. The staff member told me it was in the krunch. I stated I did not realize that was what krunch was and thought it was the chocolate crunch bar. She stated that it was like a peanut brittle with sprinkles. This was mostly on me...I should have made sure krunch was what I was assuming/thinking krunch was. Despite that, the staff member was very kind and offered to remake the concrete for me. She was in the middle of another order though and told me she would remake a concrete when she was finished. I waited for her to finish thinking she'd come back and ask how I'd like to remake it. I was thinking I'd order him a mint and hard shell or maybe mint and Oreo. However, she just handed me another concrete. I realized she just made a mint chocolate chip. I knew my husband wasn't going to like it, but I felt bad asking her to remake it again so I decided to just take it and head home. I was right, he couldn't eat it. The chocolate chips were just too much and they get hard when in icecream which isn't enjoyable to bite into. So unfortunately, that was thrown out as well. Another $6.xx that wasn't enjoyed. Definitely room for improvement and I hope this feedback helps for future visitors. I do appreciate the staff there. Everyone was very friendly. They were busy and still offered to remake my concrete. It just was unfortunate that I wasn't asked how I would like the concrete remade. This is a very nice place to hang out indoors or outdoor. They have a very spacious inside area with lots of seating from comfy chairs, to bar stools, to hi top tables, to big tables for families/large groups. They also have a walk up window from outside to order ice cream from.

From the owner: We are a mom and pop coffee shop. Pop, Mark, decided to branch out from working his computer…read morebusiness out of our home to buying a building in our small downtown location for his computer company, Gotcha Computers. The building we found for sale was the old antique Dime Store dated back to the early 1900s. This building has original floors that Mark had sanded and brought back to life with stain and varnish. The ceilings have been refreshed with paint and the upstairs has 4 apartments that have been remodeled, yet kept with an antique look. In addition to the 2,000 sq feet of space upstairs, there is also 2,000 sq feet on the first floor where his computer business would be. “That’s too much space to just have computers; we need a coffee shop in town, so let’s have half the space for a coffee shop,” said Mom (Kim). As a middle school teacher in this town, Mrs. Henderson knew there was a place needed in the community where kids and elderly people could gather, play games, and socialize. The only unfortunate event is that this place does not have a drive-thru. However, you will enjoy the nostalgic feeling as you walk into the place, and choose a cozy spot to sit, whether it be in a window seat, on a recliner, or at a round or square, short or tall table. And the coffee is bought from a local roasting coffee shop, Black Rabbit, in Hillsboro, IL. We cannot forget to mention the tasty donuts that are purchased by our famous local bakery, B&K Bakery, in Mt Olive, IL.
