    Calibre Coffee - A Cozy Favorite If I had a chance to stop by Calibre Coffee, I'd always choose it. The place may not be that big, a typical size, but it has such a comforting atmosphere. There's also a terrace outside where you can sit, especially in the summertime -- it's the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the day. What really makes this place special is how they prepare their drinks -- whether it's coffee, tea, or a latte. I especially love their lattes; every cup is made with care and consistent quality. I truly appreciate that attention to detail. I hope they continue maintaining that same standard. To the owner -- kudos!

    Ube latte.

    It has been some time since I have reviewed Calibre' yet the experience, drinks and service is still 5-star in my book. I return to Calibre' for the pleasing atmosphere to have a meeting or get some work done. In warm months, I can sit on the pet-friendly patio and sip my favorite ube latte, while my dogs chill in the shade of the awning. The servers are always friendly and make solid menu suggestions, if you're not sure what you want. The pastries are fresh and especially delicious warmed up. Tables and restrooms are typically kept very clean. There can be a bit of a wait for your drink on a busy Saturday or Sunday morning, so plan extra time if you need to be someplace. Enjoy some very good teas here too.

    Calibrè Coffee never disappoints! I tried their Ube Matcha and Ube Coffee, and both were amazing--creamy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The baristas are super friendly, and the cafe has such a cozy vibe. Definitely a must-visit for anyone looking for unique, delicious drinks! Support small Filipino businesses--this one is a must-visit!

    Banana bread matcha latte

    Hands down my favorite coffee shop to go to when I'm back in town. Amazing matcha, great staff, super inviting atmosphere. Love the vibes there truly. Couldn't recommend this spot enough. The matcha itself tastes incredible. I also recently tried the ube matcha, fire.

    Strawberry Calpico

    My friend told me about this place so I had to come try it. A really cool vibe inside, but the first time I came I saw they had lattes or drinks from various countries. I had to go with the Ube iced latte since I am Filipino. Honestly it's one of the best lattes I have ordered, I ordered it with oat milk, but that Ube cream at the bottom was so good! I actually came back a week later and tried a new drink called the strawberry Calpico with is basically a strawberry matcha. The cold foam was a strawberry cream and even more strawberry goodness at the bottom.. This was my first strawberry matcha I have ordered and I thought it was pretty good. This was inspired by a Japanese drink I believe. This place has been a little packed the last few times I've came, but it's definitely worth the wait! Excited to come back to try even more!

    Caramel Latte & Chai Latte

    Calibre Coffee is a quant yet modern coffee shop in the middle of South Barrington's Arboretum Shopping Center. Upon arrival, a staff member let us know that the area had a power outage about 30 minutes prior so there may be a 10-15 minute delay. This was no issue at all as staff was HUSTLING! Please also be prepared that menu offerings of drinks and food seem limited/niche. The good news is what they make, they make very well! I've never had a latte with foam art before and it was a beautiful touch. My latte was delicious and not too hot. There was plenty of seating for the shop's size so this is the perfect place to grab a drink with a friend. It was also notably family friendly and had no issues with acoustics. While my caramel latte with oat milk was $8.53 (a bit of a premium) it was great quality of coffee and flavor!

    Always a great time to wander the arboretum and visit the pet stores nearby and grab an ube latte from Calibre. The international coffees keep making me come back to try them all, and it's not something that any old coffee shop has on their menu. I also like the plentiful outdoor seating so I can bring my girls to enjoy a cup with me and share a croissant with them!

    Iced Chai Latte Leanna

    We got the iced chai latte and the iced Leanna coffee. So delicious! The barista who helped us was very kind, the service was quick, and the outdoor seating with shade is beautiful. Definitely have to come back!

    Cortadito (Cuba)
    Alexandra A.

    A cute and cozy coffee shop with a few food items. Food here is on the pricey side so I stuck to a very strong drink instead. I got the cortadito and I will NOT be needing anymore caffeine for the day, haha. It is a creamy espresso drink that taste delightful. Don't let how small the drink is fool you, it is strong and will keep you wired. The service and staff was good - staff was friendly and patient. It took me awhile to decide what I wanted and I didn't feel like I was being rushed. The menu is pretty diverse so make sure to ask any questions you might have before ordering. Calibre has seating inside and this can be a great coffee date spot or a spot where you grab a book or your work laptop and hang out here for a few hours. There is music in the background so if you need a place where it is completely quiet - this place isn't for you. Overall I enjoyed the cortadito and my gal pal coffee date here! I would order this drink again for sure

    Easily the best frappe and iced coffee I've ever had.

    I have to say that Calibre is my favorite coffee shop in Illinois. I am a coffee connoisseur - coffee is my love language. I'll probably tell my family to engrave a cup of coffee on my tombstone. A lot of times when I'm at a coffee shop I'll place an order and honestly cross my fingers and hope for the best. Unfortunately my hopes are never held high because every coffee is slightly underwhelming. Whether the beans taste burnt, the coffee is weak, watered down, stale, you name it... but not Calibre. Never Calibre. I'll place an order and no matter what it is, no matter how basic my order is, the coffee always shocks me with how good it is. It is always perfect. I can't say that about any other establishment. I absolutely love this place. Also, Rosie's Gluten Free Sweets are amazing. I love the friands that they carry - they are little delicious pucks of cake that have a nice little crisp on the edges but they melt in your mouth - unexpectedly so. They feel dense so you wouldn't expect them to be as moist as they are, but holy moly are they delicious. Also, their scones are phenomenal. Another pastry that tricks you - you would think it's your average dry, heavy scone (no hate, I love scones) but these are actually surprisingly soft and moist as well. A fantastic texture for a scone. I love the blueberry lemon.

    UBE latte...enough said. Five stars Calibre! I'd give you six, but I'm limited to five.

    Ube latte

    My parents had heard good things about the coffee here, so we had to stop by and have some coffee with our dessert. I loved the concept of the coffee drinks from around the world - my dad got the cafe con leche, and I got the Ube latte. The espresso in these drinks were so good and of great quality. My latte was definitely on the sweeter side, so next time I'll have to just try some drip coffee or a lighter espresso drink! The space is big though and a great place to spend the afternoon.

    Café Con Leche (Puerto Rico)
    Quin B.

    What a nice little coffee shop in Hoffman Estates that was very accommodating . I am not a coffee drinker, but I needed somewhere I do some work on my laptop. I ordered a café con leche just to have something to sip on. I am clueless about what good coffee is so I can't comment on if it was good or not. The presentation looked nice though! I did have trouble getting onto the wifi and had to use my phone as a hotspot. I was there for a few hours and no one bothered me as I worked which was nice.

    I met a friend here a few months ago for the first time and have already been back several times…read morebecause I genuinely love the food and coffee. This cafe does so many things right, starting with the spacious parking lot located in a large strip mall, which makes stopping by very convenient. Inside, the dining room is bright, elegant, and welcoming, and the staff has been consistently friendly and kind. During my first visit, my friend and I ordered for dine-in, and I immediately appreciated the thoughtful details. The ordering counter displays a variety of freshly made pastries and bakery items that are very tempting. My drink was served in a real glass, and my food came out hot on an actual plate with a fork. I love places that make dining in feel intentional and special rather than treating it like takeout. I ordered the spinach Turkish bread ($8.75), and it completely exceeded my expectations. It was generously filled with spinach, cheese, and garlic, and the flavor was outstanding. You could tell it was freshly made and homemade. Just writing this review is making me crave it again. I also ordered an iced caramel macchiato ($6.25), which had a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness and paired really well with my food. One downside is that the dining room is not very large, so tables are close together. As it got busier during our visit, I became a bit uncomfortable because I could clearly hear the conversation at the table next to us, which meant they could hear ours, as well. It is something to keep in mind if you plan to stay. Because of this, I now usually order my drink to go. Overall, I am extremely impressed with this cafe. It has quickly become one of my favorite spots for both food and coffee, and I will absolutely continue coming back.

    We had a mixed experience at Sweet Reserve, but positive overall. If Yelp allowed half stars, they…read morewould be a solid 3.5. We ordered a cappuccino, almond croissant, and cherry danish from a very helpful staff member. The pastries were pretty good, albeit on the heavy side. My danish was packed with cherries but didn't have much of the cream cheese I was hoping would cut the sweetness a bit. The cappuccino was the highlight, smooth and not overly bitter. We were there mid-morning on a Saturday, and two people were working. Our pastries came out pretty quickly, but it took a very long time for my cappuccino due to a large to-go order they were handling. It's understandable, and we weren't in a hurry anyway. I've only been here once and so I don't know if that's typical, but something to be aware of in case you're on a tight timeline. The ambiance was nice, and it would be a pleasant place to hang out and work.

The cashier (long black hair) she had an unfriendly attitude from the start--no greeting, no smile, and it felt like she was already irritated.

I accidentally selected 7 items instead of 6, and I clearly told them multiple times that I only wanted 6 and did NOT want the extra item. Instead of fixing a simple mistake calmly, they kept raising their tone at me, which was unnecessary and uncomfortable. As a customer, I expect basic respect and professionalism. This situation could have been handled politely in seconds, but instead it turned into a negative experience. I won't be returning, and I hope management seriously works on customer service.

This particular location has nailed it for attracting customers because it's placed right near the store entrance/exit and in the produce section. Oh, I wish I lived in a life where I can eat this every day without any health consequences. They rotate their flavors frequently, but I'm sad to learn that the Ferrero Rocher and chocolate hazelnut flavors are no longer available. The Mariano's West Loop location has the most selections, but this location has a decent variety. I love the little things added to enhance the appearance of the gelatos, such as half a real coconut placed on the coconut gelato and a couple of Andes mint chocolate bars sprinkled on the mint chocolate gelato. The size of the scoops are decent. However, I noticed that the gelato here is softer than the West Loop one. My favorite Vero location is still the West Loop one, but this is my second favorite. ***NOTE: When you purchase 10 gelatos with your Mariano's card, you get one free (including the large size)!***

They also make shakes with their gelato, which I'm sure are awesome.

Coffee drinks are decent; organic hot cocoa is nice. Prices are reasonable. Oh, and the breakfast panini are only $3 and are served all day.
