    I love Green Joe iced lattes. The flavor is nice and not too sweet or strong, like I find some Starbuck's drinks can be. The staff is so courteous and helpful and the vibe inside is unique, with opportunities to purchase items by local artists. I recently bought a gift card here and a pottery piece and, together, it made a nice gift. There's not a big area inside with a lot of seating, but you can also sit outside on the patio.

    stopped by for a vanilla iced latte decaf and it was done pretty quick. we got welcomed and helped out right away. they had a limited menu that day which was okay they let us know. the flavors were good and for the size $5 is pretty good for the coffee

    Ice matcha latte with coconut milk

    Came here on a Sunday afternoon and only the drive thru was open. I definitely wanted to go in and check out the vibe and decor for the place. There were 2 cars in front of me and service was kind a slow for 2 pm with only 3 cars total. The ice matcha latte had a good amount of sweetness to balance out the bitterness of the matcha. The coconut milk definitely add the creaminess to the drink.

    Excellent gluten free pastry selection

    We go out of our way to visit this place - it's a gem! Great local coffee shop with unique drink and food options, friendly staff and even a drive through. I love the number and variety of drink flavors you can choose from here - it's unlike any other coffee place around. They also have a huge gluten free pastry section sourced by a local bakery and I think you can even get gluten free bread for their sandwiches. I highly recommend the banana muffin - it's incredible whether you're gluten free or not. The shop itself is a bit small, but they have a fair amount of seats both inside and out. They have parking as well. This place is absolutely worth a visit.

    This place is truly one of the top if not the best coffee shop in this area. It's like a hip Chicago cafe without the drive to the city. Their food menu is amazing I recommend the Greek feta Avocado toast. Sooo yummy. If you enjoy sweet coffee, order the iced caramel macchiato It comes with a gorgeous cross-hatch of caramel and cold foam on top. I enjoy that they use high quality syrups and the coffee itself is such a delicious flavor. If you're not into sweet coffee you'll enjoy the taste of the coffee here. They really can brew a day changing coffee. Not to mention the art they have inside for sale, helping artist spread their pieces around!

    Lavender Latte & Cold Brew Blueberry Tea (12 oz)
    Miranda L.

    Easily our new local coffee and tea spot! My husband and I moved into the area last Sept and have found this gem of a coffee and tea spot! We have gone a number of times and have yet to be disappointed. Each drink we have tried is a good balance of flavor. A lot of gluten free and vegan considerations when it comes to food but also drinks for topping removal. I have seen that the drive through is a quicker turnaround then dining inside but still plan a trip to go in! They have local artist's work displayed for purchase such as artwork and jewelry as well as store merch. The inside is a pleasant mix of seating types with a beautiful mural for photo ops. Pro Tip: download the app so one can order ahead and skip the line as well as build up loyalty points for rewards to redeem. Only takes (10) drinks ordered for a free med drink! Personal Tip: I like ordering a small for a single sitting but have ordered the med/lrg to drink over two days and it stands up day two after being in the fridge. Coffee's I've Tried: Lavender Latte, Rose Latte Tea's We've Tried: Horchata Chai, Lavender or Rose Matcha, Blueberry Cold Brew Tea

    Lavender latte and Turtle Joe latte.
    Nina Z.

    Grabbed coffee here before our road trip this morning and it was quick & convenient because they had a drive thru. They have a great selection of coffees and teas. I got a lavender latte while my husband had a turtle Joe latte. Both were good. Also, I grabbed a matcha latte for my mom and a chai tea latte for my dad. They both enjoyed those as well. The other problem we encountered was that they were out of nearly all the breakfast items at 8am so that was a bummer. I'd definitely try this out pace again to taste the other unique items in the menu.

    Very Cute Coffee Place to go to.I was in Schaumburg are, so decided to stop by this place. Ambiance- very cozy atmosphere. plenty of painting were hanging on the right wall, which were for sale. Not sure if it from different artist or from the owner. Left wall has a beautiful abstract pattern, which drew my attention. they have local artist line up ceramic stuff in one corner. They also have their store printed tshirts and sweatshirts you can buy from there. Coffee and food - They had plenty of coffee and snacking options. I got Feta avocado toast along with their signature latte- turtle Joe. it was a perfect match. turtle joe was amazing, worth a try. they have different tea, coffee, inusef energy drinks. They do provide subsitute for the regular milk. They do ask for any allergies before finalizing the order. it was colder evening when I went there but in Summer I want to try their smoothies. Size of avocado toast is big, easily taken as meal or as a shareable. Staff- was very friendly and was able to answer all the questions. Atmosphere- Clean and good vibes. some people were sitting to enjoy coffee while others sitting and working and some studying. Noise level- Low. drive thru avaiable. Will go back again to for sure.

    Lavender matcha latte
    Mirella K.

    Three words - LAVENDER MATCHA LATTE. My new favorite drink ever!!! Truly a wonderful experience here at Green Joe Coffee. Friendly staff, incredible drinks & drink choices, and reasonable prices. This coffee shop really blew me out of the park. My sister and I were both in complete awe trying the lavender matcha latte. It's their most popular drink so we had to get it. Boy were we in for quite a surprise! The purple green concoction was quite literally the best latte I ever had. It's sweet, creamy, fresh, and you can taste it's good quality. I highly recommend it for matcha lovers and for people who just want one hell of a latte. I got the small and it was more than filling enough, but I will get the bigger size next time so I have more to indulge in. Such a fantastic coffee shop! Go here!!

    Jason S.

    This place has very good coffee and treats. I was impressed with the selections they offered for their coffee. For those that LOVE, I believe you can order a 32oz coffee! I enjoyed my lavender latte and look forward to returning for a new drink.

    A great vibe and friendly staff. Green tea matcha centric shoppe I've never been here before so the staff was telling about their top hits and the food they had. So I opted for their seasonal apple butter matcha and a breakfast burrito. The matcha had a decent apple flavor and just the right sweetness. Though I think I would have enjoyed it a better if a little hotter, it was drinkable temp, but I just prefer warmer (so I could take those gentle sips). The breakfast burrito was yummy, I think it had some eggs, cheese, potato, green chile. It was creamy and savory - great job on the eggs. A simple salsa verde would have been a nice complement, but it was satisfying nonetheless. Neat that they have a drive thru window for drinks as well for those in the go. Plenty of parking, a good vibe to work away or have a nice chat.

    Avocado toast with lemon ricotta
    Bill G.

    This place has been highlighted in Yelp so I gave it a whirl. It is a nice clean place and parking was no problem. I had to try that lavender matcha latte. It was my first time having a matcha latte, and it did not disappoint. What I enjoyed even more was the avocado toast with lemon ricotta. What a tasty treat. I get a little jiggly with avocado toast ideas at home, but this was a nice surprise. The bread that they use is perfect for this dish, and that topping was something else. I'll be back again soon.

    Iced Coffee with espresso and soy milk  matcha latte with lavender
    Kori D.

    I really love how the employees at Green Joe are willing to make you a new drink when you don't like the first drink that you've gotten. it's not their fault that I didn't like the first drink, but regardless, they did their best to write any wrongs and remake my drink for me and it tastes delicious. I usually get oat milk which they were out of so they suggested soy milk and it was great! maybe I'll get into soy milk for my coffee now. This place feels very inviting so if you haven't tried it yet what are you waiting for :) Better than SBX any day

So I found Mustafa Coffee House and just looking at pictures I was very intrigued! The place is absolutely beautiful! It's quiet and perfect if you're looking for a workspace during the day! When I first arrived there was only one person working I'm assuming he's the owner and he was extremely friendly and ready to answer any questions that I had as well as make recommendations! As you will see from my photos there is no shortage of delicious things to get. You can either order with him or through a kiosk and they are open 24/7 which is a huge Plus in my book! They offer a wide variety of tea and coffee options both hot and iced. They are great options from familiar beverages to new fun ones to explore. I'm confident that you could find something for everybody in this adorable shop. I can't exactly remember the name of the coffee that I got but it was a special for Ramadan and as a complete and total coffee connoisseur, I can honestly tell you it's one of the best coffees I've ever had. Typically I am not a light roast girl but this was absolute perfection. It was the perfect complement to my Dubai chocolate croissant that you will see and I love that everything is served on cute little trays! There is plenty of seating! Tables as well as a cushioned bench area and a little bit more secluded area off to the side in the front. Everything is beautifully clean and shiny and the decor is just lovely. My friend also said that the bathrooms are pristine, I'll probably check that out myself next time! If you're looking for a cute and delicious small business to support in the Hoffman Estates area, I absolutely recommend Mustafa Coffee House! I will absolutely be going back very soon!

Husband got a lavender latte subbed out with oat milk and it was pretty good but not impressive. Not too much lavender flavor but might not be a bad thing cuz some lavender flavor is too overpowering or artificial. This place is just ok. Staff seemed to be teens or young adults, pretty friendly and accommodating with us asking about extra plates to share with kids.

    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 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.

It's your classic sports bar type of restaurant where they keep the tv volume down pretty low. This leaves room for a more casual dining experience (at least this was the case when I went). Thanks VTG for an overall solid dining experience and I will definitely be back for those ribs!
