Egg Harbor Cafe

I've been frequenting Brewpoint-Founders cafe for several years now, and I can confidently say it's…read moremy favorite coffee shop. The ambience is unmatched--cozy, welcoming, and full of charm. My husband and I used to live nearby, and some of our favorite memories are walking over on weekends with our pup, grabbing coffee, and sitting out front just enjoying the moment. I recently visited the Elmhurst Craft location for an event and had one of those experiences that just sticks with you. I was chatting with a barista about how much I love (and deeply miss!) the Equinox. She mentioned she was newer and hadn't tried it, but saw it in the recipe book and agreed it sounded amazing--which, for the record, it absolutely is (or was ). A little while later, she came running up to me asking if I was the one talking about the Equinox. When I said yes, she surprised me with an Equinox sticker she had dug up. Such a small, simple gesture--but it genuinely meant so much and made my entire night. To the Brewpoint leadership team: that moment alone earned my loyalty for life. Customer service like that is rare, and it deserves to be recognized. I didn't catch her name, but I was there Thursday, March 19 between 6-8 PM at the Craft location--she was running the sample table and sharing the carrot cake latte (which, by the way, was incredible). Please pass along a huge thank you and some well-deserved recognition--she truly made an impact. And one last thing... BRING BACK THE EQUINOX!! Pretty please

This was my first time to the Brewpoint Founders Cafe and was completely impressed! From their…read moreother location, I like that this one truly aligned as a coffee shop. They still had the same coffee menu, seasonal drinks, and baked good offering; but, felt a lot more like a neighborhood destination. I ended up ordering coffee for my work team and all were impressed by the flavors! I got a Black Americano, Hot Borealis Latte, and the Whipped Carrot Cake Latte for myself. The Carrot Cake Latte may be a new all time favorite of mine! It wasn't too sweet but just leaned into the flavor profile enough. My coworker who had the Hot Borealis said it may have been her favorite latte she's tried. I also got the Herbed Goat Cheese Croissant which is familiar yet unique with the pop of savoriness. Overall, this was a great experience as a stop in when passing through the area. Brewpoint continues to have great flavors that leaves a lasting impression. Staff is friendly and pricing is fair.

Probably the slowest I've had at a coffee shop. It took over an hour for my latte to be ready. The pastries then took an additional 20 minutes after that. They also got my friend's pastry order wrong so she had to wait even longer. Additionally it was extremely hot inside the cafe. Most people were complaining about how toasty it was. I did feel the AC kick in maybe 5 mins prior to leaving. I tried a seasonal drink - Ube latte. I didn't taste the Ube at all, + I didn't taste any type of the espresso. It just tasted like milk. For the pastries I tried the guava pastry and a cheese empanada. Both were bland and underwhelming. CFS is pricey - the quality, service, and atmosphere did not live up to how expensive it is.

Staff was really friendly too, didn't feel rushed or anything. I ordered the hot chocolate and... wow. First thing, the size. I've never seen a cup that big at a coffee shop. Pretty sure it healed my soul right away. Taste wise, super smooth. Nice and hot. Had light cinnamon notes that show up after a sip. Not overly sweet either, which I liked. Creamy texture, almost like melted chocolate but lighter. They even did latte art on top and served it in this artisan cup. Looked way too nice for something I was about to destroy in five minutes. Came for chocolate, left spiritually repaired. Honestly might come back next time my soul needs maintenance.

Being that Ramadan had recently started, I assumed this was post iftar, the evening break in the fast and peeps were coming for drinks and desserts. The drink menu is on a display but it doesn't mention what flavors are associated in some of their custom drinks. I was split between a Habibi, coconut or Biscoff flavored lattes. A conversation with the barista pushed me towards the aforementioned and they said they could lighten the sweetness. I don't remember the details of exactly what gives its "Middle Eastern flair", the flavors worked and kept me awake for the drive. Judging from the many orders being called out, I picked the most popular. If you dig chill spaces to work & or meet new peeps, seek out details on their IG page. They host lively events to discover their new menu items and or trivia nights engaging popular topics Ie Star Wars, Marvel, and more.

We got there shortly after it opened. Quiet at first, but it picked up throughout the day.

Family friendly, and good place to hang out with friends.

The decor is beautiful and thoughtfully done--it honestly makes you want to just sit back and relax for a while. The owner was super friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers. We ordered a dragon fruit refresher, a mocha coffee, a lemon fruit pastry, and the Dubai chocolate cheesecake--and everything was amazing. The drinks were fresh and flavorful, and the desserts were on another level. The Dubai chocolate cheesecake especially was rich, unique, and seriously one of the best desserts I've had. Overall, this place checks every box: great vibes, great service, and incredible food and drinks. Definitely coming back again soon. Highly recommend!

I came in today excited to try Shibam. I initially tried it first at a convention 3 years ago in…read moreChicago. I loved the Adeni chai and told them then that they should come to Chicago. I ordered the adeni chai, Abrar's Chocolate PB smoothie and Chicken puff. First, the adeni chai. The chai was good for the most part but lacked a bit more spice. It was a bit bland. Overall, I think if they added a bit more spice it would add that touch that makes them stand out amongst the thousands of adeni chai in this city. It was missing something compared to when I tried it originally. The staff was nice and answered all questions. The ambiance was very aesthetic and welcoming. The Abrars smoothie was good, I asked what elements went into the smoothie and loved that they used fresh ingredients like real banana, pb, dates and whey protein with less additives. Keep that up. The chicken puff was not good at all. First, it was $6.99, which I did not mind paying but the quality of the product was below average. They heated it up but it seemed old and the chicken inside was like a paste. It seemed like it had been sitting for a while and it was just a big glob of mush altogether. I wish it was more dry, and lacks flavor. This needs to be better. At this point, I don't know if I would ever try any other food here.

This is a very tiny coffee shop and for those of you not terribly familiar with Hinsdale (myself amongst them) the place looks like it's in an alley but it's not; you're turning down the right street. There are a few parking spots down here so that makes it convenient. The shop has a good drink menu and also has donuts/muffins/sandwiches. I had a breakfast panini and I liked it. I wasn't sure what I'd think since I am always a bit on the fence about avocado, but wanted to try it without modifications. I liked the black beans on it more than I expected to. Overall it's an ok spot but the drinks are better than the food options. The owner has a great handle on her regulars; she was greeting folks as they came in and remembered the coffee order of a woman who hasn't been in for a while because she remarked on how surprised she was that she remembered her usual. There's no seating in the cafe, it's strictly a grab-and-go place. But they have an app of their own that you can use to order, and based upon what the owner was telling a customer, it generally works better than using the Toast app.

Both dishes were flavorful and delicious. I was absolutely in love with the pancakes! They were gigantic, beautifully presented, and incredibly rich and satisfying. We were both very happy with our food. Our coffees, however, were just okay and not particularly memorable. The only downside, and the reason I'm taking off 1 star, was my bad experience with their seating policy. I had planned to stay for a while on a weekend to finish my coffee and get some work done. However, because the café was busy and completely full, a waitress politely came to my table and asked me to leave while I was in the middle of working. I understand that restaurants need to accommodate waiting customers, especially during busy hours, but I was still disappointed by the experience. I rarely have been asked to leave a café or coffee shop while I was in the middle of working. Because of this, I would probably choose another café in the future when I'm looking for a place where I can comfortably work for a while. That said, the food was fantastic, and I'd recommend coming here for the pancakes alone.

I really hate any American breakfast and it is not because I am a vegan. Every American breakfast place is basically like 3 options - eggs and potatoes, pancakes/waffles/French toast etc. I find it very hard to believe that nobody might prefer a pizza, chicken nuggets a burger etc. Not everybody in the US has to want the same exact thing for breakfast every day and no other place is open in the morning.

What i got, youll see in the photo below along with the corned beef hash I made this morning (sorry, I broke the yoke before I took the pic). It literally turned my stomach to see that mess on my plate. I got physically nauseous and left the table to make sure I didn't get sick at this birthday brunch. Other food items seem to be ok, my daughter-in-law ate her Mexican mess without complaint, thats cuz she's a little angel. Personally I love the atmosphere of the place, reminds me of an old 80's sorta upscale diner. But do NOT order the corned beef hash!

They have their own private parking spot and you can see it along the major roads. When you walk in you see a glass of their display of yummy looking desserts. You wait until you are seated. I like the fact, they have a lot of booth tables and they can also accommodate larger parties by connecting tables together. This place is more like a family establishment not a hipster trendy place. It has a homey comfort feel to it.. I've never had any issues with their staff. They've been always friendly and attentive when serving us. Because there are times when you have a bad day and it's nice to hear and see a friendly person human contact. I like the fact that our water and coffee was always filled. The order of you food is pretty quick. We typically order the vegetarian omelette and some other omelettes depending how we feel. The size of your plate is pretty big that you can literally bring leftovers or you can share. My favorite here is the creamy rice chicken soup. I like their country fried steak as well good amount of breakfast sausage gravy. Today we ordered a lot of sides to share, I think it's a better deal if you order each a meal and share this way. It did add up more than we wanted to spend and lots of plate on the table, lessons learned! I like cottage cheese and peaches. Cottage cheese was cold and they give a good serving size. However, I was not a fan of their peaches. It looked like chopped peaches in syrup like you would use in a filling for a peach pie or a topping for ice cream. I prefer canned slices or half sliced peaches myself. I wouldn't get this again. I would only get the cottage cheese only. We also ordered a Side of bacon, you get 3 thick pieces. I prefer thinner sliced bacon that I can have it extra crispy with a crunch. We ended up getting pork sausage links, which is nice you get 3 pieces versus the patty. You'll only get two pieces. Their corn beef with hash is out of can type which I like, and I like it extra crispy when I requested it. Their egg omelettes are pretty big in size. I usually get the vegetarian one we ended up having to bring half of it back home lol! I like their side of fresh cut fruit. It must be in season because every piece were sweet even the grapes. My mom tried the mimosa and she liked it a lot. She drank it all with no problem. I had their coffee latte with unsweetened vanilla syrup and extra cream. It was very good. I would get it again. Overall, it's a nice place that I would go for breakfast. I'm sure there afternoon evening dishes that are pretty good as well as I do see people ordering those. I will definitely come back here again.
