When I visit, I try to go earlier in the day as they can possibly run out of my favorites around closing time. Although the cupcakes here have a lot more frosting than I prefer, the cake part is always extremely moist and fresh. I have tried several flavors of Smallcakes and never tasted one I did not like yet. I love that you can order ahead for parties or pick up a special "pup cake" for your four-legged babies. It is conveniently located near Calibre' Coffee, so I can also stop and get one of my favorite lattes or iced drinks too.

You are welcomed to sample any of the flavors and cost is determined by weight of ice cream. Unlike other places, toppings can be added for free after you pay for your ice cream. They had a variety of sauces, candies, sprinkles, and even offered complimentary coffee. I sampled a variety of flavors and really enjoyed the Twix Bar, Marsh-Mallow Smores, Salted Caramel Blondie but ultimately chose the Boston Cream Pie. My only drawback was staff could have been happier, the floors were a bit dirty, and toppings counter was a bit disheveled. They also promote most ice cream flavors as "Howling Ice Cream" but some containers were clearly marked as Haggen-Dazs. Either way, I enjoyed my ice cream and would revisit! Tip: They did have (3) non-dairy ice cream flavors on top of many sorbet flavors.

They give out sample cups so you can try all the different options. They also have lots of toppings you can add to your yogurt, like chocolate chips, gummy worms, and pretzels. My favorite is cake batter with cookie dough and chocolate-covered pretzels as toppings. I highly recommend this combination. The place is a bit small, but you can sit outside in the summer if it gets too crowded inside, which it sometimes does.

Calibre Coffee in South Barrington was honestly a letdown. The place looks nice from the outside,…read morebut the experience didn't match the hype at all. The coffee tasted burnt and overly bitter, like it had been sitting too long, and for the price, that's unacceptable. Service was slow and felt disorganized--staff didn't seem very attentive, and it took way longer than it should have just to get a basic order. On top of that, the atmosphere was louder and less relaxing than expected, which defeats the whole point of going to a coffee shop to chill or get work done. Overall, overpriced, underwhelming coffee, and poor service. Definitely not somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit again.

Drove from Chicago to Huntley to visit family and desperately needed coffee on the way. Did a quick…read moresearch for a non-chain spot and Calibre was very convenient. The 2 baristas working were very friendly, greeted me right away and made the drinks quickly. I got the biscoff iced latte, which is something I've had many times at other places. I really like that theirs isn't overly sweet, it doesn't have a ton of whip or cookie crumbles or syrup coating the sides which is what I prefer. The ube latte is sweeter but also not overly sweet like other places do. We ordered 16 oz but were given 20 oz cups, the barista said they were out of smaller cups. I think because of this they actually added more milk too, because the coffee taste was very light. I wish there was less milk or more espresso. Prices were high, $17 for 2 drinks is steep for the burbs. I'd come back, but I'd probably get an extra shot or ask for less milk.

The ube mochi donut is a sweet pick me up. Remember to shake your drink well before you open it so all the flavors can mix together before sipping.

The only thing I probably wouldn't order again was the crab & shrimp bruschetta, but literally EVERYTHING else we ordered was scrumptious, UBER delicious, and the perfect size for sharing. Check out the pics because we definitely did brunch RIGHT. The absolute MUST-HAVES are the French toast, honey-glazed Brussels sprouts, monkey bread, Southwest scramble, and the frosé. SO. GOOD. I'm also adding the giant ice cream sundae to my non-negotiables because it was ridiculously fun to make, absolutely delicious, and perfect for sharing with the girls. It's a MUST HAVE! And the service?! 10/10. We were totally taken care of by Lydianne, and she was so attentive, sweet, and just an all-around amazing host/server for our party. She made sure we had everything we needed and really added to the whole experience. Such a fun spot for a girls' brunch, especially if you're looking for good food, drinks, sharing plates, and a whole vibe. We will definitely be back! P.S. They have LIVE entertainment during brunch! Such a fun surprise and it really takes the whole experience to another level. This place is beautiful, lively, and honestly such a perfect spot to celebrate a birthday, girls' day, special occasion, or just because. The food, drinks, service, atmosphere, and entertainment made it a total vibe from start to finish. We'll definitely be back!
