The Americano was really hot and they even warm the cream for you. The sandwich tasted really good. Lots of avocado and the lemondono is as sweet which made the sandwich savory with a sweet little kick. The lady working the counter was extremely friendly and personable. It's located by the Metra so it's a perfect place to come by and grab a bite before getting on the train or even just work for a bit. Overall, a great experience and will definitely be back!

This one stays open until 7:00 p.m. during the week! When I first walked in, I had a terrible experience with Brittany. She seemed very preoccupied and when I asked her to explain something on the menu, she told me "it's pretty much what it says." When I expressed my displeasure with her response, she grabbed a menu to read it explaining that it was just added to the menu as if that excused her behavior. This left a very sour taste in my mouth but because I had a meeting, I sat down after ordering a pistachio latte. The Latte was amazing! Before leaving I ordered a second one, but I stayed and spent the day working. There are plenty of seats and there are a couple of really comfy couch spots. After a few people left, I was able to move to one of those spots and felt right at home. After Brittany left, I was able to relax a little bit more and had a very productive work day. The music is louder than I like; I had to take two business calls and both times they mentioned the noise level, but other than that,I love this spot. It is across the street from the metra train station where parking is free, so I don't anticipate ever coming here and having a hard time finding parking. I ended up eating lunch here and had a Cuban sandwich which was so good! And it was huge... So I took half home for dinner. The south suburbs need more places like this! I can't wait to come back.

Parking is on the street but on a Monday afternoon there was no issue. The inside is clean and beautifully decorated. The perfect place to bring a friend or come solo and do some work. I saw they had a couple games available for guests as well. Jenga and such. I ordered the banana matcha and my mom, the lovers latte. While waiting we were offered a complimentary bowl of soup that was simple but delicious and served piping hot. My matcha was great. At first sip it reminded me of a banana split. Very creamy and flavorful but if you're a true matcha lover there's not much matcha flavor present. I still enjoyed it though and would come back for another one. I would like to try a horchata matcha in the future. Not necessarily on their menu but they have a horchata latte so I think it can be done. The barista was nice. It's definitely a made to order cafe so allow yourself a little extra time when stopping by. We were too busy eating soup and were in no rush so it worked out on this visit.

Even though there's not much vegan or even vegetarian friendly, it can make for some good stuff at an event. They also have cheap prices. Came in while checking out other things around here.

They have a few of these so called dessert empanadas if you're looking for something interesting, or put in a custom order. Happy to report my guests liked these empanadas. It seems they would like more. Then I told them where to get these.

I wasn't hungry yet so I only had the rasmalai tiramisu latte. They served a hot drink in a cup with no handles so I had to wait to hold the cup before I could sip on it.

She also had the black bean sweet potato taco which she enjoyed.

This time I ordered the Blue Magic which is an ice latte with blueberry and lavender flavored topped with strawberry cold foam. I love earthy flavors so this was perfect. I also ordered the butternut squash danish. It was very flaky and the filling wasn't too sweet. A nice compliment to my drink. My mom ordered the Kayla Chai which she said was good!
