There are many things on the winter menu that I would love to try next time I am back. The scone was huge and very flavorful. And the brown butter latte was a nice warm treat on a cold Chicago morning. The employees behind the counter were nice and friendly and helped me decide my drink for the morning. It was between the miso caramel latte or the brown butter latte, and I went with the brown butter. Nice chill coffee spot with great options. They have a nice cozy couch in the front and heard they have a nice big sitting area in the back that I didn't have time to check out. Til next time!

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!

We got the Oreo milk (lactaid) drink and my family got the oolong tea! Both were great! I'm not sure if we will come back but that's only due to the fact that we're not boboa tea people!

I like to have some options so I went with a half dozen, my favorite were maple bacon, strawberry shortcake and blueberry streusel! I also grabbed a salted Carmel cold brew with it which was a nice addition! The donuts were prepared right in front of me, sooo great to see and there's nothing better than being handed a warm box of treats to take home! Will be returning soon!!!!
