My husband had the Doncaster - Salted Butterscotch Oat Draft Cold Brew, and I had the Voodoo - Peanut Butter Chocolate Espresso Latte ($6.50 each). Both were very tasty although my husband's needed a good stir since a lot of the flavoring had settled at the bottom. I was looking at the paper menu when I ordered, so I thought the Gold Rush ($9) was a really interesting bagel when it's actually a bowl of oatmeal. A bit disappointing. My husband had the Avocado Toast ($9), a solid breakfast option. The interior is very nice with ample seating. Can't wait to make it out to CP again and have another opportunity for coffee at Fluid.

Our gluten-free Toffee Chocolate Scone ($3.75) was tasty. I had a Toffee Chip latte ($6.45) that was beautifully presented. My husband enjoyed his iced Bananas Foster latte ($6.45). We also tried the Strawberry Cheesecake Hand Pie ($6.50) but didn't really care for it. We came back recently, and I was disappointed that we were given everything in paper/plastic even though we ordered our food and drinks to enjoy there. I much prefer drinking out of glass if I'm visiting a coffee shop. My Stroopwaffle latte was quite tasty, but I didn't love the Jam Session latte. While the indoor seating can fill up, I noticed they have some outdoor tables as well. The pastry selection is somewhat limited, and I'd love to see some heartier breakfast options. Love their creative latte selection and commitment to quality.

I drove out to Crown Point after seeing a few social media posts about Jilly's Cafe, but I was…read morerather disappointed in my visit there. I searched for another coffeeshop nearby, and I wish I had just bypassed Jilly's and went straight to Refuge. The food was simple but good, and I loved the Samoa Latte I got. Everyone was hyped for Jilly's because of the aesthetic, but honestly, I liked the Refuge better. I was there during warm weather, so the building was wide open with easy access between the outside and inside.

We were greeted by our waitress no complaints. She asked what we would like to drink and shortly brought them to us. A few moments later the waitress came back and took our order. Pigs in a blanket and eggs Benedict with hash browns well done with a side of bacon. A small conversation later she returned with our order. Pigs in a blanket ended up being pecan pancakes and my hash browns were not well done. We stated that we ordered pigs in a blanked and she took the pancakes away. She then returned less than 5 min later with the correct order. Thankfully my girlfriend didn't have an allergy to nuts but they took the original pancakes and brushed off the pecans a rolled the pancakes around the sausage. Not sure if that was the right thing to do. The waitress was also asked to bring a glass of orange juice which we never received. Lastly the bacon was not good at all slices were way too salty and not up to a family restaurant quality . I've had better bacon from McDonald's and for the price I was disappointed and did not finish them. I'm almost certain we will not be back. I will though travel a bit farther to dyer to the family restaurant on 41.

She was so amazing and attentive, she managed to keep us all fed and watered before the generational disagreements could escalate into a full-scale food fight.

Next time, I'm asking Sarita if she's free to officiate our family's Thanksgiving dinner, too.

The young people working inside are always very nice and patient when you are picking out what ice cream flavor to you want. They aren't in a uniform but are always well dressed! The inside side of the store is always clean- I've never seen ice cream drops on the table, and it's very cute inside. Right next to the fairgrounds and in a good location away from the "businesses" of town. I really hope this place stays open for years and years to come.

I thought the Sundays were six dollars for a small and I had whipped cream on them which I thought was included in a sundae. But I was charged 7$ for each with a very small amount of sauce and a small dab of whip cream. The total cost was $24 plus 2$ tip because I paid cash. I really have no idea how that adds up because if I was paying with a credit card, it would've been 25 dollars. Very disappointing and I walked in before 8:30 awhile ahead of closing time, I think the young girls they were not happy I was walking in.
