They have a great variety for everyone and even have a selection of fresh pastries and cakes. I go here often and the baristas are always so kind.

halal Friendly!!! Quiet not active shops. It is a cute…read morespot. No they don't have a good coffee selection at all. Matcha: sourced said supposedly it's organic? Mostly it looks like synthetic. Coffee not strong and still over sweetened. I would say, if you like your coffee like taking your Instagram photo this is the spot. If you a matcha and coffee lover this is not. For me I would not consider this as a good vegetarian spot. Even though they have vegetarian stuff, it's not vegan friendly..beside drinks there is no food item that is not vegan friendly.

A very nicely decorated place with great taste and attention to detail. I went with my friends for an afternoon coffee. We all ordered different types of coffee, and every single one was excellent. Unlike chain coffee shops where everything comes in paper cups, here you actually get a real cup, which I really appreciated. My friends also ordered spinach pie and said they hadn't had such a good one in a long time. The guys who work there are very kind and pleasant. Overall, everything was truly wonderful. I would definitely recommend everyone to visit this place!

I went with an iced peppermint tea and it was very refreshing. I also tried the guava and cream cheese pastry and my goodness this was insanely delicious. The pastry dough is crispy, flakey and fluffy. The guava jam and cream cheese was sweet and not overly sweet. I stopped in on a weekend morning and throughout my time here there was a constant flow of customers coming and going. Staff members were able to keep up with the influx of weekend customers. Within 5 minutes of placing my order my items were ready to be picked up at the front counter.

I love lemon flavored things-- so I enjoyed it even though my crinkled face probably didn't show it! The mango didn't taste like mango to me. It tasted like it was artificially "flavored" mango-- it didn't have a distinct flavor of the fruit mango nor actual chunks of mango. Cafe Castemila is such a cute place. The whole shop was littered with sweets and colorful decor. The staff was smiley and friendly. If in the neighborhood, I'd definitely stop in again!

This cute little spot is brightly colored and staff were friendly and helpful. Samples are available for the gelato so take a leap and try something new. I was offered the hazelnut, which I normally do not get, and after suggesting to add nuts for the topping, I'm happy I did. We tried the puffy pastry with vanilla pudding, we both agreed it was tasty and super sweet. Kids got the jello magic and even for them they could not finish it in one sitting. The sweet treats are endless here, we are sure you can find something for everyone on your party.

I love 5 different flavors scooped in a rectangular shape vs a ball. The flavors go well with each other. And I like all of them. My daughter ordered one of the sundaes with donuts. There were 4 mini donuts in the sundae! It's huge and definitely shareable. Service is always good. The employees are all very nice!

My previous experiences with The Original Rainbow Cone have been at Taste of Chicago over the years…read morewhen I would get a little sample cup for a couple of tickets, and I gotta admit it was a pretty good treat on a hot summer day. In recent years, The Original Rainbow Cone has been expanding its footprint, including adding a presence at Buona Beef locations. The other day, one of my buds treated us each to a serving of The Original Rainbow Cone at the Skokie location. Being a slob, I chose to have my serving in a cup rather than in a cone. You get five flavors, which I favor since I like to try as many flavors as possible. The famous Palmer House flavor (New York vanilla and cherries) comes along with pistachio almond, and the more "standard" flavors of chocolate, strawberry and orange sherbet. It's creamy, rich and delicious.

The desserts look decadent but are actually nowhere near as sweet as they may appear. The lenguas de gato were probably the sweetest of the bunch. The coffee selection is small but the beans or roast they use is exceptional and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed their drip coffee. Ambience is modern-casual with some limited seating. Service was nice and helpful!

I also tried my friend's Bibing-Cute (baked rice cake with coconut, melted cheese, salted egg). This was better and more accurate to its description. No issues with service. I love the variety and authentic of the bakery but am disappointed the Asian flavors are not properly executed.

That being said, I tried The Madison, which is described as such: Neuske's bacon, creamy boursin, sharp cheddar, and a souffléd egg paired with fresh tomato, red onion, and arugula, all layered on warm ciabatta. I really liked it! I had never had boursin (a type of spreadable cheese) before. All the flavors melded well together, although I didn't like the texture of the arugula so I removed that after a few bites. Would definitely order that sandwich again. My husband had the Steak & Egg sandwich which he said was good but I didn't care for the flavor combo. It is described as such: Tender roast beef, melted American cheese, and caramelized onions layered with a souffléd egg on a toasted ciabatta. It's interesting in the picture it shows a waffle instead of ciabatta. I guess they got rid of the waffles altogether? They should probably update the sandwich photo is that's the case.
