It has a strong and rich coffee taste. You can also taste the cardamom and cinnamon. It wasn't too sweet. The Araysi drink was also good. It is mango smoothie with Vimto drizzle. The basbusa cheesecake was not sweet and delicious. The place was clean. The cafe is pretty big. They have plenty of tables and chairs for customers to hang out and chat. The staff was friendly and nice. They also have a drive-thru. It would be convenient for people who want coffee to go. I would definitely go back to try their other pastries and drinks.

I walked in and said hi to the crew, no one said anything (wondered if I was not loud enough? ) Took no joke 15 min to finally get my drinks I was on the run and just passing through Aurora so i was somewhat inpatient. I like the industrial vibe with a plenty of natural light and seating options. It's a place conducive for computer work or a social meet up. Drinks are average.

I recently visited Qmaria Yemeni Coffee on Westbrook Drive and had a wonderful experience. The…read moreplace has a cozy and welcoming vibe, with a warm aroma of freshly brewed coffee .The staff was friendly and helpful in explaining the menu. I decided to try The Mufawaar that had a deep rich flavor with just the right balance of spices . It had a unique twist compared to regular coffee. It felt smooth and comforting, something that stands out from the usual coffee shop drinks. But the presentation was good . Along with the coffee , I ordered a Ferrero Tiramisu pastry, which was a real treat. It was soft, layered beautifully, and had just the right touch of sweetness without being heavy. The chocolate and hazelnut flavors paired perfectly with the coffee, making it a delightful combination. I liked the coffee mugs they used I really liked about this place is how it blends traditional Yemeni coffee culture with a modern café feel. This place is spacious enough to sit and relax.

High quality ingredients here! Petit three is a small and locally owned spot with handmade donuts…read more A group of 3 of us came in on a Saturday morning and it was packed! I was not expecting it to be so busy given that we went bright and early. It was great to see this business doing so well. Even with it being crowded, the staff members were able to keep up with the influx of orders and everything came out in a timely manner. I love how light and bright the inside is. Im a big fan of whites and blues and thought it was designed well. It's beautiful! For my drink I tried the masala chai and I didn't love it. It tasted artificial and was too sweet for my liking. That's okay! I may stick to drip coffee next time. Now the donuts?! Delicious!!! I had the strawberry shortbread and a Nutella espresso. Between the 2 cake donuts I preferred the Nutella espresso. The flavors for both are rich and strong but I think the strawberry 1 was TOO potent for me. My 1 tip lol to the biz - I really hope they bring back the Matcha donut bc I am missing it!

Parking was a…read morebut difficult as there is only a lot in the back of the building but the extra effort is very much worth it. Oak + Bean source their own coffee beans to create a wide variety of coffee types and flavors. Browsing the list, there were plenty of offerings that intrigued me to come back more than once. They also offer teas, snacks, baked goods, and other soft drinks. If those aren't enough, they double as an evening wine bar offering all wine types, mimosas, and some beers. I loved the murals all over inside and elevated design otherwise. They have monthly events to engage the community. Loved stopping by Oak + Bean and would certainly come back when passing through the area. Tip: Wine Happy Hour is M-F, 4-6pm!

There aren't really any fun shops nearby, but there is a very nice park just a short walk away. That's a nice place to enjoy your coffee, although the interior of Oak + Bean is very nice. Plenty of seating inside with nice chairs, plus outdoor seating. We ordered a cappuccino and an iced ube latte. The cappuccino was served a bit hotter than normal, so I had to be patient before sipping. However, the milk foam was great, and the coffee tasted pretty good as well. My wife enjoyed the ube latte. Pricing was reasonable and service was friendly.

We stopped my this place on a Saturday morning to get coffee. I want to start off by saying that…read morethe caffeine content in the coffee here is not super high, so if someone is looking for coffee to wake them up, this is not the place. This is more of a desert coffee place. I got the Sand dune coffee since it was so highly recommended. I think it was too sweet for my liking. My husband got the pistachio latte and this one was the BEST pistachio latte I have had in a long time. I asked them what sauce they use and was told that they don't disclose the source of their ingredients. The place was pretty and cute, lots of seating options. The host let me sample some of their Adani Chai which was delicious! The drinks are pricey though! Two coffee drinks shouldn't cost like a meal but oh well. I may come back again for the pistachio latte.

One of Aurora's (Chicago Suburbs) Best Boba Tea Spots!…read more After traveling around the world and tasting boba from Taiwan to Singapore, I can confidently say that Vannie House in Aurora delivers some of the best tapioca pearls I've had in the U.S. The pearls are perfectly chewy, fresh, and absolutely on par with the quality I've experienced in top-tier Asian tea shops. One thing I really appreciate is the tapioca-to-drink ratio. Most boba shops either overload you with pearls or drown everything in too much liquid. Vannie House nails the balance, every sip and scoop feels intentional and well crafted. I tried several drinks on my visit: M9 (modified with Thai Tea) -- Smooth, flavorful, and extremely well blended. A3 Orange Peach with Black Tea -- Sweet, refreshing, and surprisingly layered in flavor. Hot Chai Tea -- Rich, warm, and incredibly smooth. Easily one of the best chai teas I've had at any boba shop. The interior decor is also a standout, clean, modern, cozy, and aesthetically designed. It's the kind of place you actually want to sit and enjoy your drink rather than rush out. Huge shoutout to Niko, whose recommendations were absolutely on point. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, exactly the kind of service that keeps you coming back. If you're in Aurora and looking for high-quality boba tea, Vannie House (my #47 Boba Tea Spot) is a must-try. I'll 100% be returning whenever I'm in the area.

The weird part was asking if i had a punch card and when i said no they didn't offer me one either? Either way, i got the taro strawberry smoothie and a hazelnut iced coffee. Neither of us enjoyed the drinks because they're very syrup heavy resulting in a drink that's wayyyyy too sweet. It just tastes like drinking concentrated syrup and powder blended/mixed with milk. Barely tasted any taro. Having some real ingredients like frozen strawberries with taro powder is what I'd expect at this price point. Not both ingredients being powdered and syrups. The tapioca itself was really good, soft and not too chewy. But there's just way too much of it, you're eating boba more than enjoying a drink. The brown sugar syrup that the boba sits in doesn't help with the additional sweetness in the drink. Wouldn't recommend for real drinks

Beyond the basic beverages at this Oswego cafe. Candy Cloud is a colorful place to hang out or get…read moresomething to go. It has plenty to sip on including coffee and lemonade. Also a few things to eat. The prices are too high but great stuff. A lot of menu items available. It's got a couple of order screens where customers place their own orders. There's a crap ton to choose from so the line can be a long wait. Beverages are the main things to get. It's about $5 to get most of the coffees, which are cold or hot. We saw a lot of interesting ones. I got the Matcha Latte. Pretty typical but there was the right amount of sweetness. Has some food. Mostly basic stuff. It's about $2 to get a hash brown. Yes that is not even a couple of hash browns, but they taste pretty good though. It's about $5 to get a few pretzel bites. The beverages are obviously better than the food in terms of price and quality. For sure it's got lots to choose from. It's in front of the one strip mall with Target and some other stores. There's a pretty limited amount of space and only a few tables.

Hopefully they will cancel their contract with them, as I had a $45 order, 90 minutes after ordering and getting longer and longer delivery times, DoorDash canceled the order. I called and was told they could only refund $11 of processing and tip fees. When I called Candy Cloud to get the other $34 refunded, I first found out that DoorDash did, in fact, pick up our order, before canceling it w/o refunding me. I had gotten the manager of the Oswego IL location, and she was phenomenal!.... offered to remake the whole order and have one of her staff deliver it to us. Considering that this offer only costs them money, for a mistake (or theft) that DoorDash made, it only reiterated what I already knew: DoorDash is HORRIBLE; Candy Cloud is AWESOME!!!!! Love them so much!!!

Even when I arrived by bike, it took me a few minutes to locate it. Their signs are small. Glad I found it though. The barista's and staff here are friendly and helpful. They don't make the exact drink that I prefer, but they did manage to concoct something that actually tasted better. Next time I'm there I'll have to ask what they did so that I can whip it up at home. They have a good deal of sandwiches and pastries in addition to their drink menu, and plenty of seating space. I'll be back. Cheers.
