The coffee selections are numerous, and you can get them on the strong side or a bit weaker. They also have a number of pastries that can delight your taste buds ... the only glitch we saw was that they did not have a large selection of croissants. For example, we could not get just a plain croissant. But even given that, this was a very nice coffee stop for those that really like good coffee. The dining room was nice and large, with many different sections to settle into with your coffee. Loads of outlets to plug in your lap top if you come with one for a little work. Staff was very friendly, and it is pretty much an order at the counter and get your coffee. They don't need a large staff to run this place, as it pretty much runs itself other than the coffee-master. Give this place a try.

In the slew of coffee houses that opened in OP I like Marouf A LOT! That's not too descriptive, I…read moreknow, but the ambience is modern and coffees are delicious. I always opt in for the hot Pistachio latte. It's not too rich, but enough to quench your sweetness for a delicious drink. There's plenty of seating but this place is always packed. I don't think I've ever gone in when it's empty, whether it's noon or night. There's also quite the selection of pastries! So many delicious desserts and buns! You can't go wrong with any selection. Everyone is friendly and helpful at Marouf! This is one of my favorite coffee houses in the SW burbs!

I went with their Honey Almond Latte (iced), and my husband had a Pistachio latte. We also ordered a Biscoff croissant, a Spinach Fateyer, and a Falafel Fatayer. Their space is really cute, and I was looking forward to enjoying a morning coffee date here. We were asked if we wanted our drinks in glasses and we confirmed, but everything ended up being brought out in plastic, which was disappointing. All in all, a solid coffeeshop with some unique menu offerings.

Friendly, dialed in, and genuinely knowledgeable without doing the annoying bartender thing where they make you feel dumb for asking questions. You can tell she really enjoys working here. She makes a fantastic Negroni. Great vibe, great drinks, and the kind of place you immediately want to make "your spot."

It's nice to have another coffee shop in south loop and this place is very cute! Cozy vibes and the…read moreservice is nice and fast enough. My friends and I each tried their specialty drinks and i got an everything croissant. We had high expectations because everything looked so good on the menu. Unfortunately none of us particularly enjoyed anything we got. All of our drinks just tasted like milk (both iced and hot options) and my croissant was oddly sweet because of the filling and I didn't love that. The pastries are actually being shipped in from elsewhere (they have exactly the same one in coffee shops out in Naperville too lol). Which leaves nothing special here. It's also very small so it gets crowded and swamped pretty fast. You're really constantly stepping out of someone's way when you're just waiting for you order, so that's not ideal either. Likely won't return.

My go-to food is the pulled pork sammich. This visit I had the iced Mocha latte and the Beef bomb sammich, which were good. The sammich has lots of roast beef slices, blue cheese crumbles, horseradish cheddar cheese sauce, caramelized onions, and arugula mix on a chiabatta bread. The blue cheese and horseradish cheddar are not overpowering. I'll definitely be back soon!

And it may be that I arrived when there was no crowd because service was spot on.

My husband had the Doncaster - Salted Butterscotch Oat Draft Cold Brew, and I had the Voodoo - Peanut Butter Chocolate Espresso Latte ($6.50 each).

I was looking at the paper menu when I ordered, so I thought the Gold Rush ($9) was a really interesting bagel when it's actually a bowl of oatmeal. A bit disappointing. My husband had the Avocado Toast ($9), a solid breakfast option. The interior is very nice with ample seating. Can't wait to make it out to CP again and have another opportunity for coffee at Fluid.
