I usually order a…read morelatte and each time it's great, it's creamy, and their espresso is so smooth and flavorful. I'm picky with my espresso, but this place knows what they're doing. Every once in a while I get a biscotti to go along with my latte, I believe they are made in house, but I'm not so sure. Right now, they have a smoothie menu for the summer, I've tried the strawberry piña colada and it's so refreshing, especially when the mornings are really hot. I use to get the same barista each morning, she's so kind and friendly. Now it's different girls but they're all so kind and in a good mood. Love it!

It wasn't crowded when I visited but I could see the place packed with no where to sit. The tables up front along the windows are a wonderful place to sit and work like I am doing but the concrete tables although cool are tough and uncomfortable to work on especially if you want to use a mouse & computer. Staff were very friendly and helpful. As far as my order the drink was definitely under brewed and could clearly tell just from the smell before even tasting it. The rice crispy I had I am willing to bet was made ages ago. It was so hard and you could clearly tell it was long past fresh. I took 1 bite and tossed it. Would I return? If just for a drink and to work probably. Think I would be willing to give it another try but wouldn't go out of my way to return just for it.

We dropped in after the funeral for a friend…read more My wife ordered their French Dip, and I ordered the Wagyu Burger, medium rare. She got the ancient grains with hers. We also ordered a side of Cheese Curds. No photos of those - I was too hungry. So, let's start with the cheese curds. For reference, we have tried a ton of these, and this version was not great. The curds were "hollow" in the center of the fried section. We've had better. The dipping sauce was good. No salt or pepper is on the table. The Wagyu Burger was cooked to order, but tasted bland. It needed a good dose of salt or something, but nothing was available. My wife had their French Dip. I tried a bit of it - she liked it. It tasted pretty good, so she got the better end of the order. Her tea and my Dr. Pepper tasted okay. Service was good. The interior of the restaurant was attractive. It's just the food was amazingly bland. Like blah.

We loved this placed!…read more It was very off season so we were waiting all week until Thursday when they were open to try it. Our large group of 3 families enjoyed breakfast here and the lovely staff were very accommodating to our chaos. 3 grandparents, 4 parents and 4 toddlers to order, eat and we all enjoyed ourselves. We all loved the treats, the food, and best coffee we could find in the starved rock area! I got for the 4 I was in charge of: 2 hot vanilla latte, a kids French toast with bacon, a biscuit and gravy, cream horn, cinnamon roll, and more treats I can't recall now. Highly recommend this cute little stop and if we are in the area again we'd definitely stop by!

He made some great recommendations based on my preferences and offers items in bean or grounded formats. I purchased the Costa Rica Marigold option based on the notes listed. He gave me beans that had been roasted that day! The beans are high quality but not has flavor forward as I'm used to. Either way, pricing was very fair and seems to always have all options in stock.

Alex is super knowledgeable about coffee and clearly puts a lot of thought into what he does and how he does it. It's been really nice to be able to order coffee beans and have them delivered since we're so close to the store, but going there is easy too - convenient location and plenty of parking. The coffee itself has been solid - I am not a black coffee drinker, but my partner is, and he has consistently enjoyed the coffee he's gotten there. On our last visit to the shop, Alex told us about the other location they own, Maple Leaf Coffee House in St. Charles - we're hoping to check that out soon!
