It shines from every detail of her drinks, her space, to her personality and interactions with every customer. Bonus: This is the best coffee is the South Suburbs. This is not 7 Brew, Starbucks, or Scooters. This is hand crafted coffee with incredible flavors she has personally tested and mastered. Every drink is hand made with attention to detail. Drinks are always consistent. Please also know you can ask if you don't see it on the menu, and she's always down to offer suggestions based on your taste/requests! Space is warm, welcoming, clean, and a mix of decisions made by her and her customers via her social media accounts. Nour will meet you once or twice, and then remember you and your usual order. Truly a kind, wonderful person and it shows in the customers and her space. Please note: this space is brand new, and it's a soft opening. Lines can get long, but it's a testament to the customers and service she provides. No gate keeping here. Her old space was a counter and no seating - this is new space is such a win for her and us! Please be kind and patient when venturing in to support - you will be addicted and I'll see you in line soon!

I like to read at coffee shops and this is totally doable there. The drinks are still fire, thoughtfully crafted and balanced like no other shop does in the area. They have regular menu items (my fave is the Nutter Butter), but also gorgeous seasonal menus. I have tried at least a dozen different drinks and none of them have disappointed. This coffee shop is a blessing to have in our community!

One of my new favorite coffee shops. I came across it while heading back home through Plainfield…read moreearlier this month. It's located inside of a warehouse space that houses a couple of different businesses including the Ten Drops roastery but the shop itself is a big space all its own and they have done a nice job giving it a good vibe. I ordered an iced version of one of their signature drinks, the Spice latte and it was one of the best tasting coffee drinks I've had in the area. It had great tasting espresso with a perfect balance of milk and flavoring. The barista was very friendly and the fact that she had the place quietly jamming to Aerodynamic when I walked in was a big plus. I took a seat while waiting for my drink and was kind of bummed I couldn't stick around to take a load off and enjoy it while the sun poured in from all of the big windows but it was okay because I just looked more forward to coming back soon.

We visited Folklore in Lemont yesterday and had the absolute best time. Even though the café was…read morepretty crowded, we were still able to get a cozy table against the wall, which made the whole experience even nicer. I ordered their special Baboo Chai which has blueberry and cinnamon roll flavors, and it was unbelievable. Sweet, warm, and totally unique. My brother got a hot chocolate and an apple fritter, and he couldn't stop talking about how delicious everything was. We drove a little over an hour to get there, and it was truly so worth the trip. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming the entire time. You can tell they really care about their customers. Even with the rush, they kept the line moving quickly and stayed warm and kind with everyone who came through the door. The whole energy of the place just felt comforting and happy. I definitely recommend visiting Folklore if you get the chance. It is one of those spots that makes you want to come back again and again for both the amazing drinks and the wonderful service.

The shop is quite small though and only has a handful of seats which can fill up on the weekends. No table service, order at the counter which is not a big deal.

Bonus points for the kids coloring pages.

Situated just off of Rt 30 / Lincoln Highway in Cresthill IL on the side of the road it's a little red house with a decent sized parking lot. Super cute and way cozy. I always notice the patio that folks sit on early mornings and decided it was time. Upon entering I had three super friendly women say hello to me. It's larger than it looks with seating inside in nice booths and really well decorated. It's also very clean and customers keep rolling in on way to work. The staff is awesome and the women I spoke to informed me that they've been there about 5 years and that all the pastures are made in house. These are not average d eryday pastries they are luxurious treats beautifully created at a reasonable price. The in house bakers need a huge shout out along with the entire staff. Their coffee is really good too, string but not at all overwhelming. Actually excellent stop. I'm sure they will be seeing more of me. You really gotta try this place and I'm sure you'll return.

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.

I usually trek all the way to R53 and 135th Street to be safe! But, I decided to give this spot a try today. I placed my order and, honestly, I was blown away! The barista (a lovely Hispanic woman, around 10:20 am on January 7th - if you have a system for recognizing great work, she deserves some kudos!) made my drink absolutely perfectly. It was seriously delicious, the best coffee I've had in a while. So, thanks to her amazing work, I'll definitely be back! This changes my whole perspective on this location.

On the board behind the cashier, the medium chai latte is around $6, but the charge for the actual drink came out to $9.35 due to the oat milk being $1.35 extra and there was a "price hike in chai" as $1.35 extra on the recipe that is not listed in the cafe. On top of that, the pastries do not have prices listed but the almond croissant came out at $9.10. These prices are really high, but at least list them accurately so the customer is not surprised afterwards.
