We stopped at al-Hamawi after lunch at Haifa nearby. We've been to the Bridgeview location a few…read moretimes, which is really nice, but that location is small and cramped (unless they expanded recently). This location is much bigger inside and there is more natural lighting. It was packed when we went and pretty loud. Getting into and out of this parking lot is a pain, though. They have all of their classic nuts, candies, and other al-Hamawi goodies. The drink menu seems bigger than the Bridgeview location. They also have more baked desserts at this location. We ordered a cappuccino, a hot caramel macchiato, and a sugar cookie for my son. The cappuccino was excellent and they did a good job foaming the milk. The foam was also great on the macchiato, and my wife seemed to enjoy that drink. The sugar cookie looked amazing, but was very hard and seemed overpriced at $6.95. The drinks were reasonably priced. Service was decent. Please note that they have a lot of taxes: state tax, county tax, city tax, and a "special" tax.

So good. We got Seaweed Spicy Nuggets and Spicy Kri Peanuts. So delicious. And again. The service. Excellent. They also have this arrangement of beautifully arranged chocolates and sweet treats. I cannot wait to go back. They do have a lot for parking.

This was a nice little café that popped up in a strip mall on 151st Street. A number of these cafés…read morehave started in Orland Park, and we're making the round of them ... the last one we were at was Marouf Café, which serves that namesake coffee). Cello was the same, but different. Similar to the Starbucks ethos, they specialize in a number of fancy coffees, yet still offer plain old brewed coffee. We tried the brewed coffee (5-star fresh and hot), some Green Tea called mint (5-star delish), and a fruit crêpe. Now the fruit crêpe was also a 5-star offering, but you better come hungry ... it was a huge helping, and we ended up splitting it but still could not finish. It was a freshly made crêpe with Nutella and a light cream sauce inside, piled with fresh fruit and then a drizzle of Nutella and the cream sauce on top. This was a meal-sized delight. Many of the other offerings seem to be simply a different riff on the fruit crêpe, which can also come on a fresh waffle. Now this is not the kind of place where you pop in for a quick coffee to go ... but, rather, it takes time to get food (service) here because most of it is freshly made. But that said, if you have the time the food (crepes, coffee, and tea) were worth the wait. Ambiance wise, the decor was very nice ... just enough fru-fru to make you forget you're in a strip mall. There are a number of chairs, tables, and and sofas around to make many seating arrangements, which was nice; you can come with a group or as a single and feel welcome. The only negatives on our visit: the music list was fine, but way too loud; they must turn the music down so patrons can have a conversation. When we arrived we noticed an employee parking their car right in front of the establishment (5 feet from the entrance) and we thought that maybe they could have parked in the spaces just across the lot (35 feet from the door); it just makes sense to cater to your customers, rather than yourself. But all that said, this was a nice new offering in Orland Park.

Came in with a friend to catch up. I ordered a tiramisu latte, she got a cappuccino and slice of…read morecheesecake. The first thing I noticed was the strong smell of fabulosa, I truly wish places would stop using this. It almost overpowered the normal smells in the cafe. After sitting, we noticed random pieces of printer paper taped to the walls asking to clean up after ourselves. Not a problem, but there was no clear spot to clean up. The top of the garbage cans were covered in plants and ash trays, so there was no where to put the dishes. The three employees sitting at the table next to the garbage just stared at us instead of pointing us in the right direction. We ended up putting it on the counter. I also found it odd to give us a table marker and number to put on our table, but we had to go get our items. Also the music was so loud at times we couldn't hear each other or the staff when ordering. If I come back it will be to go.

Decided to stop into Pekoe & Bean after passing by on my way to another stop. It's located in a…read morestrip mall but the inside is adorable with a homey/living room vibe, fun decor, and local art on display. They had a large main dining room with coffee bar to sit at as well as some back spaces to host events. They recently got new owners who are going to revamp the menu and offer more events to the community. Their menu was smaller but intriguing. They had great signature drink flavors that could be applied to different coffee style drinks. I got the Lavender Shortbread flavor as an iced latte and loved it! My husband got the Chai Latte which he wasn't quite fond of but they asked if he wanted cinnamon on top which was nice. Overall, coffee is their specialty and there's a reason why. I'm sure they have other tea drinks that may have been more favorable as well. I wouldn't mind coming back to enjoy a cup inside rather than to-go.

Pekoe & Bean is a longtime local favorite for breakfast and lunch too. A pretty simple menu great for groups. The prices are kind of high on a few items but it's great quality.

They have a few of these. I got the Bananas Foster Latte. This is made with banana syrup. Also they have non dairy milks. The food menu includes salads and sandwiches. It's about $7 for a bowl of chili. This is vegan. Has quite a bit spiciness to it. This is a great one to warm up with. Also they have carrot soup which is great. They also have lots of pastries.

There's plenty of seating inside to sit and enjoy your items or take to-go. Their menu was a little more limited than other locations but it makes sense based on the available space they have. When visiting, I ordered a 12oz Lumberjack Latte and my husband a 16oz Chai Latte. I ended up getting a 16oz and later realized I was charged for that size as well. My latte tasted more like milk than any flavor nor coffee. My husband did enjoy his Chai. Service was sadly the downfall of my visit. There were four girls working but prioritized goofing off and chit chatting over taking orders and making drinks. I'm all for having fun at work but was very surprised in such an open setting to see staff distracting each other.
