The menu offers various espresso drinks, tea, sandwiches, and desserts; they also have various packaged snacks and such you could purchase around the counter. We ordered the Latte with almond milk and a Mocha - both were just not drinkable at all - it had an unpleasant bitter and grainy taste to it, and we just couldn't see the hype on this place. Service was friendly, and there were some seating inside as well as some tables in front of the cafe; unfortunately, we just couldn't dine in either option since it just reeked of cigarettes. No dice. Parking available in the lot, but can be tight when full. +avoid the coffees +unpleasant cigarette odors, in- and outside +parking lot available

It's sweet, but not too sweet. The large iced latte is also great, it has 3 shots of espresso which makes the ratios perfect.

Cant wait to check out the other new location in Park Ridge! The vibe and aesthetic are also so cute in here! Love the simple design! It is located inside the train station, so while it was busy both times I went I received my food and drinks super fast!

It's a great little coffee shop (gaming is in a separate room) with fun options like horchata lattes in addition to a variety of coffees and teas. They also have donuts and some very good empanadas! Best of all? This place is open late, ADA friendly (easy to nav with a walker or wheelchair, variety of seating options, big roomy bathroom, etc), and 100% dog friendly. Most places your dog is only welcome on an outside patio. Ashley's Cafe welcomes your pup indoors. I got to meet the very kind owner, she really wants to make her business a spot for the neighborhood to come together. Support this small, local business!

When I entered there was no one there but the owner. I decided to order Bodega Combo #3 with an upgrade to a Horchata. I was told there were no Columbian empanadas (Bodega combo # 2) so that is what led me to order the other. I swear it took the owner 15 - 20 minutes to make both the empanadas and horchata. The empanadas were frozen, not fresh, and placed in an air fryer. The drink made had tons of ice and just as much cinnamon. Personally, there was no balance. I did not enjoy it. The empanada choices: are spinach & artichoke, chicken, and vegetarian. The best was the vegetarian, then the chicken followed by the spinach and artichoke. In my honest opinion, for an $11.50 meal, you would have been better off grabbing a $3 bag of tostinos pizza rolls and coke from the dollar tree and being more filled and satisfied. I was not impressed and I honestly believe that the space has so much more potential to draw in a larger crowd if the food choices were improved.

We wished we had the stomach to try more from their menu, but honestly, this duo hit the spot and then some. The perfect way to wrap up the night, it was sweet, rich, and totally worth every bite.

Yesterday, I was at O'Hare Terminal 5 waiting for my flight to board when a delay happened…read more No biggie as this is what happens in today's world. So, I'm walking around, and being a bit hungry I saw The Hampton Social satellite restaurant and decided to give this famous restaurant a try; and it was packed, which was a good sign. I ordered their fried chicken sandwich with Cole slaw. I got a stool at the bar and waited for my number to be called. Within 10 minutes "5120" was hollered "your order is ready for pick up". I grabbed my bag, walked over to my stool and lo and behold I got a very salty smash burger with fries? What the hell? I didn't have the time to replace this mishap, so I ate as much my palette could handle. I was disappointed and salted out. I'm sure their regular stand alone restaurant is good and something like this would never happen.......but there I was very dejected!

After my flight was delayed 2 hours, I decided I needed something to eat…read more The Hampton Social was close to my gate and they had seats open and available. I decided on the breakfast sandwich and an espresso martini. The breakfast sandwich was delicious! It came with scrambled eggs, cheddar and bacon on a toasted buttery croissant. It was absolutely delicious! It also came with a side of fruit (pineapple, honeydew and grapes), which was very fresh and also delicious. To drink I had an espresso martini. It was very good. My server and bartender was Sean. He was attentive and checked in on me often. I also found out they offer their cocktails to go. This is good to know if you're trying to catch your flight. For the breakfast sandwich and espresso martini it cost about $40 including tax. I found that to be very reasonable considering it's at the airport.
