    Cute spot! A work friend suggested we meet here. Ambience: super chill! Indoor and outdoor seating for 2 mostly. Quiet! Parking: can be tricky, they have customer 30 min parking for three cars on the alleyway next to the building, and street parking, otherwise walk or uber or public transportation vibes. Food: got the breakfast muffin with chicken sausage and hot sauce, pretty good. Drink: got the cold strawberry vanilla matcha and it was tasty and sugary so be mindful if you don't like sugary vibes. I normally don't but this was good and not too much. Service: kind and quick! Pricing was as expected. Would come back if I needed a place to have an important convo!

    Cinnamon Roll Latte

    Back here after awhile and the coffee still slapped as it used to be! Trying their seasonal cinnamon roll latte which was pretty much similar to Spanish latte probably without the condensed milk. Love the fact that milk substitute is free so I can go for the almond milk without extra charge. Ordering process has been super easy with online pre-order being available. As usual I love sitting in their outdoor patio, which is literally small, but mighty with the space provided to enjoy my cup of Joe under the open sky. Wish they can open longer until late afternoon!

    Cold brew was okay but matcha was really tasty prices feel reasonable and cheaper than some other shops. I like that flavoring/sweetener is just $.25. I also got a pup cup and love that they donate the cost (optional) to a local nonprofit for animals. Cute indoor and outdoor seating.

    Love this small little coffee shop! There is a cute little garden patio, but it is quite small. Tables are very close together and you'll likely overhear conversation conversations haha. There is indoor seating, I saw some people working from their laptops as well. Drinks are tasty and the staff is very kind. Would def come back for a coffee date with my girlfriends. Street parking only but there's ample sidewalk space in the surrounding neighborhoods

    Matcha Latte and Strawberry Vanilla Latte

    Ordered a strawberry vanilla latte with espresso and a matcha latte. Their coffee is great, but the matcha is lacking in strength and flavor. There is a cute patio in the back with pretty foliage, and the inside is quiet and clean. The barista was so sweet and knowledgeable. She was enthusiastic to answer all our questions!

    Great coffee, delicious croissants and nice seating options. Friendly and helpful barista and overall good vibes.

    Kind Grounds has a solid flat white! I do recommend it. Very tasty! Both indoor and outdoor patio seating available as well as restrooms. Many come to pick up and go or stay with their laptops. Parking can be tricky - there used to be parking out front but it's prohibited now and only neighborhood parking available.

    There's limited spots to park on the side of the building. Friendly baristas. Got the unsweetened rosemary latte and it was good. Definitely don't like the lattes too sweet. :)

    Hot Chocolate and pumpkin something

    Okay the coffee wasn't terrible but it wasn't the best, it was caffeine so it helped me finish some assignments but my friends hot chocolate was horrendous. It was just milk and cinnamon there was no chocolate taste at all. Dissapointing That cookie was fire tho

    Really cute coffee shop with a chill vibe and friendly staff. 3 stars is only for their iced oatmilk latte. Not sure what kind of oatmilk they use but it tasted like water. It didn't have the usual oatmilk creaminess to it. Maybe it was a mix that needed to be shaken up a bit...dunno. But I wish I had enjoyed it because that's the only plant based milk I enjoy. Doubt I'll be back.

    This coffee shop was so aesthetic inside and had really nice seating! I would have loved to stay and read a book in the coffee shop. I grabbed a coffee to-go from here and the espresso was incredible. They also have parking in the back which is always nice.

    Ambiance: 10/10 Parking: neighborhood parking found in 5 min Prices: not great Seating: About 2 tables inside and 2 outside open at 2 pm on a Thursday. The strawberry matcha was good but it was strawberry nesquick lol and they charge $7.50 for a medium + 25 cents for "light ice" that's insanity.

    This restaurant in located inside an outdoor market available to patrons. I thought it was its own…read morebuilding but it was an area to visit while walking past. There is no table waiting, you walk up to the cashier and place your order. You get a number and grab a seat. We ordered sandwiches and bags of chips. The sandwiches are pre-made in a deli area and they take it out add in your ingredients and through it in the grill for a panini. After 5pm, they do have a sit down area behind the deli where you can eat the late night menu and listen to music. We came earlier in the day, so it was just deli sandwiches, chips and a glass of mimosa. If I were out shopping, I would stop by and grab a sandwich but Id prefer to see what the live music and late night menu experience is about. I will go back one day!

    Stopped by for lunch the other day and was pleased with the experience…read more Joliet is located across the street from Urban Plates within the food court with Jenni's ice cream. I thought it was a full sit-down restaurant, but it's more like a cafe you can walk up and order from, and either sit at their bar area or outside at any of the tables. Regardless, service was pleasant enough. I got a chicken Caesar wrap and a Sakura matcha, and both were delicious. I loved the floral flavor of the Sakura matcha, and the wrap was fresh and flavorful. This is a great spot to grab a quick bite and coffee from, and I would totally come back if I'm in the area.
