    I think i just found my new favorite dessert. I ordered what was essentially shaved ice made with milk. Absolutely amazing, delightful, and delicious. The mango and toppings made it even better but I could honestly eat a whole bucket of the ice itself. I also tried the lemonade which was super fresh. The barista was nice and took her time making each item which I appreciated. The cafe itself is very cute and there are plenty of spots to sit and enjoy a drink or treat. I will definitely be coming back for more bingsoo.

    Amazing bingsoo! Cute and quiet atmosphere. Perfect for hanging out with friends, working, reading, etc. only one worker when we came in. She was very nice and accommodating.

    TLDR - The Black Forest Coffee drink is great!…read more Full Review First to note: I'm a big coffee person and love drinking my coffee black in the morning. I will almost always pick black coffee over lattes, cappuccinos, and other classic combinations that would potentially mask the flavor notes of good quality coffee. The exceptions are specialty coffee drinks that have some unique combination of ingredients (aside from just different syrup flavors). But even then, I admit I'm a bit wary of having tried many cafes where these specialty drinks end up being too sweet. I've passed by Cherry & Coffee Cafe many times in Hawthorn mall in the past without giving it a second thought because of the very thing I mentioned above - likening it to cafes with overly sweet drinks. On this particular day, which happened to be Father's Day, I was in the area and looking for something caffeinated in the afternoon. I happened to glance at Cherry & Coffee Cafe's menu on google and saw something called "Black Forest Coffee", which was described as being made with chocolate syrup and maraschino cherries. This sounded intriguing enough that I ventured over to give it a shot. It somehow didn't click in my mind that this wasn't black coffee (I had interpreted/misread the description as having notes of chocolate and cherry). It finally hit me when I was ordering my drink and the barista asked me which milk I wanted (it's also quite possible I got confused because "coffee" was in the name instead of "latte"). I decided to go ahead with my order anyway since I had already made the trip over. Long story short, I was VERY surprised that the Black Forest Coffee drink was both not too sweet and quite good! My wife is especially picky with sugar levels (think Kung Fu Tea's milk tea with 0% sugar because she thinks the boba already adds enough sugar) and even she enjoyed it. So thanks to this happy accident, I think I will be back in the future to try their other offerings! Full description of Black Forest Coffee (found on my receipt): Espresso, chocolate sauce, maraschino cherries juice, shaved chocolate, maraschino cherries, milk or alternative milk

    Simply the Best: A Love Letter to Scooter's Coffee Mundelein!…read more If you're looking for the absolute crown jewel of Mundelein, look no further. I have been a loyal customer here since day one, and I can honestly say that my life has been significantly more caffeinated--and much happier--ever since they opened their windows! Why This Place is Pure Magic: * Lightning-Fast Service: I don't know how they do it, but the speed here is legendary. Whether the line is empty or wrapped around the building, you'll have a steaming (or icy!) cup of perfection in your hand before you can even finish picking your playlist. * The Ever-Evolving Menu: I love that they never let things get stale. Their rotating menus keep every visit feeling like a fresh adventure. There is always a creative, seasonal surprise waiting to be discovered. * Innovation in a Cup: They are constantly rolling out new drinks that I didn't even know I needed. From their signature Caramelicious to the latest limited-time fruit infusions, the flavor profiles are always spot-on and ahead of the curve. The Heart of the Operation Beyond the beans, it's the people that make this location truly special. The owners are absolutely wonderful--you can tell they truly care about the Mundelein community and take immense pride in what they've built. And the staff? They are the sunshine of my mornings! Always wearing the biggest smiles, incredibly polite, and they handle the morning rush with a level of grace and positivity that is honestly inspiring. Bottom Line: If you haven't been to the Mundelein Scooter's yet, you are missing out on the best part of the day. 10/10, five stars, and a huge thank you to the team for keeping me fueled all these years!

    Stopped in this morning and there was only one car ahead of me, so it was a pretty quick stop. I…read moreordered the bacon Gouda egg sandwich, and it was really good! The presentation was nice too--it didn't look thrown together. The bread was soft, and the sandwich was tasty and filling. Good price for what you get, and the service at the window was friendly and efficient. Would definitely stop by again!

    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.

    There's no word to describe the incredible service and experience we had here today :)…read more We were scheduled for the Bears Camp but it was canceled due to the weather. We wanted to grab breakfast since we drove an hour up to hit the camp and found this amazing gem! We weren't the only ones, many other folks who experienced the cancellation of the Bears Camp had the same idea! lol it was PACKED! I can't recall our hostess' name but she was a beautiful soul and so kind to us as we waited patiently for a seat. It was a 90 minute wait so we walked around a bit and killed time. When we got back, we still had a wait but a group of ladies said they just left the bar and we could walk up. We did and saw the hostess to ask if we could eat there and she said yes. Definitely worth the wait! We sat at the bar and Dani, our server was FANTASTIC! So kind, helpful and gave great advice on what to order since it was our first time. We ordered the biscuits OMG the best thing ever! We added the homemade jam and it was the chefs kiss! We had the hazelnut latte and French Madeline latte. Both were delicious! I got an omelette with sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese and chicken sausage. It came with a choice of a bread item and I chose pancakes hubby got eggs sausage with French toast. The portions were HUGE! We were full off the biscuits lol but ate some of our meal and then packed it up to go and had it for dinner lol It's a cute farm inspired restaurant and very family friendly. We absolutely loved the staff. Dani, our waitress was a real Doll! Genuinely kind and so personal and attentive. Steve and Chris, the management team was absolutely above board and we so enjoyed chatting with them. They made us feel so welcomed! Thank you! We can't wait to return!

    First time here, and arrived at 7:30am on a Saturday morning we were seated quickly and that was…read morethe best part of our experience. We were super excited to try this restaurant as we heard from several friends how great it is. We sat at the table for over 10 minutes without water or a word from anyone. It was early so the restaurant was not busy. Our server was male and super inattentive and inefficient. Everything took forever and they weren't busy. The water arrived, then we waited, then we ordered drinks and waited...then we waited over what seemed like forever probably 25-30 minutes to order, while we watched our server take orders from people seated after us. We finally ordered a vegetable skillet for me with eggs over easy and multi-grain toast and an omelet for my husband with a side of potatoes and toast. The side of toast is only one piece of toast, cut in half. When did this become a trend?? I dislike it - this is the third restaurant we have visited this summer that has one piece of toast as a side??? Seriously...this feels wrong. So we both like two pieces of toast, so we ordered a side of toast to share. Ironically, the side of toast comes with two pieces. Lol Then the real wait started...as the restaurant began to fill up. Our food took over 30 minutes to arrive from a food runner not our server. At this point, my husband's potatoes were lukewarm warm at best. He said he would ask to reheat but our server didn't check on us and we were hungry. Oh and the side of toast didn't come with butter, sigh. We had to ask for butter. Thankfully, the omelet and skillet were hot and tasty. Husband loved the spice in his chorizo omelet. Skillet was great too. I'm not sure the food was worth the long wait though or made up for inattentive service. We will probably give it another try but hopefully have a different server. For the price point, there are MUCH better breakfast places in the area where the food is divine, service is friendly, super attentive, and efficient (Walker Brothers, Egg Harbor, Wildberry). Oh and those restaurants have two pieces of toast as a side. :) The atmosphere is cute, but overall vibe was off putting. Overall, food was good, service meh.
