I did an online order/door dash so I did not get to see the actual place in person. From photos online it looks great!! Friends ordered lattes and lots of other things and they all came back made properly and tasting great. Not too milky not too much flavor or lack of flavor. Everything is great! I would definitely order from them again and I plan to as I continue my stay here in Illinois! I recommend it all! Not too badly priced either - especially with door dash. 20oz cold brew was $5.95. They had so many more items to choose from so I am looking forward to ordering from them again.

There are books to read (and you can drop some off too), games to play, and good food. We arrived and took a minute to take in the extensive menu. I had their Courthouse Blues, which is Roast Beef with Cheddar with some blue cheese on it - hot, and my wife had their breakfast bagel with sausage, egg and cheese. Once you order, you find a place to sit and they bring the food out to you. Fountain drinks and regular coffee get refills as long as you are there (if you leave no refills, which surprised me that they had to post a sign saying that, since it's pretty much the rule). Service was prompt and pleasant, the food was very good, and it's such a nice location with parking available in a lot to the west. What's not to love?

Of course it's also open for lunch. There's coffee to go with bagels along with other kinds of sandwiches. Bagels are the main things of course. It has coffee with tons of syrups to choose from. The bagels themselves actually may be kind of an afterthought to be honest. Anyway these are still good. There's a lot of things on the menu. It's about $5 to get a latte. They have a few non dairy milks. It's about $8 for one of the bagel sandwiches, which is actually a good amount of food. There's quite a few combinations you can make. I got the Vegetable Sandwich, which comes on a choice of bagel. This includes cucumbers, lettuce, onions, and tomatoes. Get a combo with a drink and chips. They also have tons of cream cheeses, and plenty of other toppings so you can get a pretty hearty breakfast or a lunch. Good place, but it has kind of limited hours. It's only open for breakfast and lunch. There's plenty of things for meat eaters, as well as vegans and vegetarians.

Their direct manager, Ninette is the sweetest individual in the world and is super passionate and 'patient' with the BS college students have as they show no respect. I've been treated poorly by upper management before and after working there for 3 and a half years, I can say I truly cannot label this place a coffee shop as they take no respect in certain coffee culture and processes. I would give this place somewhere between a Starbucks and a 7/11. I hope they turn this place around. Some of the workers are great, and I made amazing friends and Ninette truly is a sweet heart ( I recommend y'all say hi to her! ) I hope this place makes the come back I deserves.

An odd combination. They aren't open a lot so make sure they are before going, and there's a dining area but most customers will get it as takeout. Coming in here the first time was confusing. It's inside an Indian grocery store that also doubles as a place for making copies, if you can believe it. The counter is in the back, and there's usually just one person there. A lot of the food is prepackaged and ready to go. You just pay for it. It's about $12 for a meal, of which you get a lot of food. There's the classics like biryani and chana masala. Even though the location is weird it's still pretty good to be honest. It's a counter and a few tables but it's mostly for takeout. They're closed weekends.
