    The Commuter Special
    Ronit G.

    No matter who is working here the staff is always kind and friendly. They have delicious and unique pastries. One time I got a pistachio croissant that was bursting with pistachio cream. The vibes here are very laid back and chill. It's like your little local coffee shop. Love it here!

    Hot Sapienna w/ Oat Milk
    Cara C.

    This cafe is so comfy and can be on the more quiet side. The vibes are casual. This is a great place to catch up with friends or work. The drinks taste delicious. A go-to drink I would recommend is the Sapienna. They have milk alternatives (which does cost a bit extra), like oat milk. The Lox also tastes great. There's some outside seating, but more so inside seating. There's plenty of parking - think plaza parking. Service is quick and friendly. They also give great recommendations.

    Oreo bingsu (snow crème)
    David L.

    Made it to CS just in time before they closed today. We were craving a bingsu and our Oreo bingsu really hit the spot. It was chocolaty, smooth and silky. Most importantly not overly sweet. They prepared one order in two to-go cups. Worked out perfectly for us.

    Stopped in for an iced matcha latte, no one was in line so I was helped right away. Color was nice and earthy flavor came through. What a cute spot with plenty of indoor seating to meet with friends or get some work done. They have 5 different snow créme options there as well- I want to try them next time! Parking- big lot shared with other businesses

    Matcha snow ice
    Ruhnuh A.

    Fast and refreshing! The owners were also very kind. Love having this place in the neighborhood.

    Delicious bingsu comparable to chains like sul and beans but without the wait, crazy parking and loud noise! We had the mango shaved ice and it was delicious. My goal is to try all the flavors by the end of year haha. Cute little mom and pop hidden in a plaza with many parking spots. I'm looking forward to trying their lattes/drinks too!

    Tuna Sandwich
    Angela C.

    Solid cafe in the Oak Park area! I've been to Cafe Sapientia for a Yelp event (their bingsu is quite good), but I surprisingly haven't been back since. I have since realized why - Yelp has this place labeled as "Not a A Good Place for Working", which I personally disagree with. There's actually a decent amount of seating and outlets. Anyways, for my second visit, I ordered an Iced London Fog and a Tuna Sandwich. The tea was okay, pretty average quality for the London Fog. The Tuna Sandwich was actually really good and is something that I would order again. If you are looking for a cafe in the area with good food, drinks, and dessert, and is also a suitable place for getting things done on the computer, give Cafe Sapientia a try!

    Mango snow creme
    Mega S.

    This place is so nice. The snow creme ice is so good! We bought one for to-go, they put it into 2 cups so it's easier to eat. Service was a bit slow considering there were only 4 people working (2 front and 2 in the back) and there were always customers coming in and out. But, overall the service was great, they were very nice. There are a lot of tables for people to hang-out/study/work. Overall, it's a great place to go get desserts. Would definitely come back!

    Tuna Sandwich and matcha latte
    Rachel E.

    Cafe Sapientia is a hidden gem! Tucked away in a quiet Oak Park shopping center, it is very unassuming on the outside. As soon as you walk in, many tables are filled with folks studying, chatting with friends, or just relaxing with a latte. It is a very chill vibe and friendly atmosphere. The baristas are always very friendly and accommodating. The selection of drinks and food options are solid, packed with flavor and variety. I love the tuna sandwich, paninis, herbal teas, and lattes. They also have delicious desserts and baked goods. Every time I come here I always have a positive experience. Highly recommend this local neighborhood spot!

    lox avocado toast, chive and cream cheese taiyaki, iced matcha latte, hazelnut latte
    Reyna J.

    This place absolutely lives up to the good things people have to say about it. We went at about midday on a weekday, and it wasn't too crowded, and everything came out relatively quickly. We got the avocado toast with lox which was excellent, as well as the chive cream cheese taiyaki which was also quite good. Drinks didn't blow us away, but they were both quite solid (matcha latte and hazelnut latte). Not the cheapest, but that's to be expected for the area. Definitely see myself coming back here!

    Masami L.

    Matcha is my best! My hubby likes original. Their shaved ice form keeps long time. They are keeping serving bowl in freezer. Their snow powder ice is unbelievably soft. I recommend you to try sweet, good flavor ice melt in your mouth.

That said, the quality and convenience make it a solid choice, particularly for hotel guests.

I ordered some avocado toast and a side order of sourdough toast; they have the avocado toast priced just under $15 for only one piece of toast where almost anywhere else in the area is priced at $10. The one piece of sourdough toast with butter was a whopping $8+. It won't stop me going there I just won't order those food items again. It's real easy to get to , located in Westlake off Hampshire blvd off the 101 freeway., absolutely worth a visit. Would have been 5 stars if food wasn't so pricey.

It wasn't like my top matcha list, but decent enough and prolly elevated by the setting. More than the drink, I was prolly more hooked by the flavored cream top which was less common and even available in non-dairy option!

That said, I was extremely disappointed with the gluten-free raspberry lemon muffin I purchased. I rarely write negative reviews, but this is something that really needs to be addressed. There was so much paper stuck to the bottom of the muffin that I had to cut off approximately a third of it just to remove it. I requested a second muffin, and unfortunately, it also had a significant amount of paper remaining. Food is too expensive today for customers to have this experience. This is not only disappointing but also a potential safety concern. There was muffin everywhere from having to cut off the bottom, and I even had to wash my hands afterward -- a bit much when you're simply trying to enjoy a muffin and coffee on a Sunday. I share this with kindness because I really want to see JOI Cafe succeed. I hope this quality-control issue is corrected because I would love to come back and have a better food experience.
