    a bowl of ice cream with chocolate chips and sprinkles
    Sherwin C.

    An alright froyo option for me. The cafe itself looks quite cute and there's plenty of seating for everyone. In addition to the self-serve froyo they also have different options of smoothie and boba tea options. On my visit they were out of a good number of the flavors, maybe because my visit was in late October, but that also meant that my friends and I relied on toppings rather than froyo to get some variety. On this visit as well, the only fresh fruit option available (despite a fairly large assortment of toppings) was the strawberries. The froyo itself tasted fine, both in the standard dairy and sorbet options but the price felt a bit high at checkout though there was no price listed per ounce, which makes it difficult to compare.

    My husband and I went to Sweet Cafe with a friend to get dessert. When we went in, we saw that several flavors were missing from the frozen yogurt machines. I got the new York cheesecake and the combination of cookies and cream and Dutch fudge. I added some sprinkles and dark chocolate chips in the mixins area. The cheesecake has a weird flavor to it, but I did enjoy the chocolate flavors. The sitting area was nice, and we were able to enjoy our frozen yogurt there. Overall, it was a nice visit. I'll go back again someday.

    I visited Sweet Cafe for the first time and am kicking myself that I hadn't tried it before! They have a great selection of boba with different milk teas and smoothies. Service was quick and friendly - highly recommend if you want to support a local business and get a sweet treat! The vibes inside were relaxing as well.

    Delish sesame balls ordered five of these filled with red bean paste and rolled in sesame balls. Wish I lived near China town so many good selections. Tried almond cookie and walnut muffin. Have to eat this soon.

    We went to this place to get an açai bowl . We were greeted instantly by the owner and provided us…read morethe menu. We ordered two açai bowls and they were very delicious and cost-effective. We will definitely return thank you

    I'd like to give this place a better review, but having visited a number of area coffee shops and…read morecafes, I can't in good conscious rate them as well. There is a free parking lot with plenty of parking and I found a spot right away on an early Sunday morning. It's very bright and feels more like a retail store atmosphere than a cafe. There were only three tables and a counter running along the back wall. It was easy for two of us to just sit at a table for a while, but as more people came in, we felt guilty taking a table as we just sipped coffee and chatted. They definitely have some kinks to work out and they've only been open for a few months, and they need to train their staff better as they clearly don't understand how to serve with any type speed. They don't do traditional here. You can't just get coffee and a Danish or other typical bakery item. You can't even get toast with butter despite them offering many toast options with toppings. Here's a tip: offer toast with butter or a spread. You'll get a lot more sales with some items that are not super filling. I opted for a hot mocha coffee with an extra pump of chocolate and a crepe. Again, you can't just get plain crepes. They are homemade and should be offered plain, but I digress. I got the Hangover crepe. According to their website, this is the description of The Hangover Crepe: "Start your day right with our delicious breakfast items like bacon, hash browns, scrambled eggs, and cheddar cheese, served till 11 AM. Afterward, enjoy a refreshing acai bowl or pair your breakfast with a cappuccino or a chai tea latte. Don't forget to try our matcha latte for a unique twist at our coffee shop in Buffalo Grove!" Look, I just do marketing for a living, so don't sell me on what you have before and after 11am. Just tell me what you get with this specific crepe. And that's bacon, hash browns, scrambled eggs, and cheese. The scrambled eggs are some of the best fluffy and dry eggs you can get anywhere. They were perfect. The hash browns were in patty form and were perfect for this dish. They serve it as a handheld, but it definitely needs a knife and fork, which you collect at the counter. You have to ask for salt and pepper or a sauce if you want. The savoryness of the items mixed with the sweetness of the crepe was a great combo. It was very tasty. But it took them quite a while to make the crepe. I was mostly finished with by hot mocha which I could have topped off for an additional fee. My compatriot wanted plain toast with butter. Mind you they have six (6) different toast offerings with all sorts of toppings. You can get your toast item made with sourdough, multigrain, white, or gluten-free. However, you can't get plain toast. And just as a side Q&A: when you order toast anywhere else, how many pieces do you typically receive? If you answered two (2) pieces/slices, you'd be correct. Irene's gave him one slice. They first toasted it and burned it badly. They make toast items. How do you screw up toast if you routinely make toast? Then they finally brought out the one slice and asked if he wanted butter. He did, so they took the toast to the kitchen and put two dabs of butter on his toast. But then they didn't give him a knife to spread it, so he used the crust of the bread to spread it on the slice. Like I stated, kinks need to be worked out. While we were there, the owner's family came in and took up two of the tables. Now all three tables were taken. And older couple came in and had to side at the counter height stools along the wall. The food was tasty, the drinks were good. Both are pricey for what they are. And they are seriously lacking seating. It would be nice to see them last in Buffalo Grove, but they need to fix the seating issue (maybe smaller rectangular tables instead of round ones?), and get things out of the kitchen faster, and drinks made more quickly to have more staying power. Oh, and have your family not come all together and take up all your tables.

    Yum yum! Had a hankering for boba and this place satisfies that need. I was in the area and went…read morehere to get a boba freeze. One of my favorite things in the world is Taro so getting a Taro freeze with boba and clear jelly sounds like heaven to me. This is exactly what I got and it was delicious! It wasn't too cold and while there was boba, it didn't overpower the drink itself and neither did the jelly. As expected, this place is overpowered by little youngins with a sweet tooth but I can't blame them. It's not like they made the wait any more longer or shorter. The customer service was good and quick, nothing to complain about. I will continue to come here when I have a boba itch. I've also tried their bingsu which was also really good but....alot. It's packed with red beans which are sweet and delicious, ice cream and fresh fruit. I know for a fact, I cannot finish it on my own so I suggest sharing it with someone else. Other than that, it is certainly a delectable and yummy dessert. Highly recommend. Overall, I will continue to keep coming back here for you Lincolnshire/BG locals, I would encourage you to do the same. Prices are decent and your sweet tooth will be satisfied for sure!

    There's never a bad time for boba! I often swing by here when I need a little treat during the day…read more The options are endless but they have plenty of menu suggestions to help you make a selection. My go tos are banana coconut with mango jelly or just plain avocado. They do have tons of great options but. I find myself gravitating towards those most frequently. The staff is always super friendly, and the service is quick. Even when they have a large group or the shop is crowded you can count on them to have your drink up super quick.

While I was waiting for my smoothies, I sat down at a table and noticed there was a used Band-Aid stuck to it. Absolutely disgusting. The floors were dirty, and the overall cleanliness of the store gave me second thoughts about ordering. Unfortunately, the smoothies weren't any better. They tasted off, almost like they were made with dirty water. I spent $33 on smoothies for my family and then asked for a cup of water with ice. I was told I would have to pay for it. After spending that much money, that was just the icing on the cake. Between the cleanliness issues, the poor-tasting smoothies, and the lack of customer service, I won't be coming back. I'm honestly surprised this location is still open.

Thanks for taking my 36$ on 3 smoothies same flavor. I'll never spend not even one penny at this place again. I called to let them know and the girl that answered was clueless I told her my drinks weren't labeled to know which is which her response was we don't label the drinks. Okay so how do people differentiate the drinks! She didn't offer a refund wouldn't let me speak with the store manager didn't even offer an apology. Jamba Juice is just YUCK
