They were your regukar flavors except for Lemon White chocolate. i bought 1 of each along with their cranberry walnut scone. If you like the thin cooked that spread and remain soft, these will work for you. I need crispy edges at least. The scone was a very sad, depressed lump. After my first taste, i broke off pieces around the edge (pictures included) and you will see a cranberry walnut scone bereft of cranberries. There was NO TASTE of the dried fruit, even when i picked one out, it was a tiny teardrop of a possibility of the tart/sweet dried gem normally enjoyed. (maybe they should be macerated in orange juice or eben cranberry juice). oh! the walnuts were large nice pieces but with the horrible raw-flour taste overpowering even the mighty walnut, the lump could not be redeemed.

They also have cute little cookie decorating kits out right now for Easter ready to be purchased. Other goodies were cookies, fresh baked bread, honey sticks and dipped rice crispy treats, to name a few. You can also get coffee, teas and lemonades. I ended up getting the croissant stuffed and topped with chocolate chip cookie dough. It was delicious. Not overly sweet, but I ate it two different times throughout the day. It's definitely worth the $5! The employees were very patients as we looked at all the goodies trying to decide what we wanted, and willing to answer any questions.

Viva Cafe in Geneva is a satellite location of Five & Hoek Coffee (Wheaton). The inside offers a…read morecouple of tables and chairs but they also have an adjacent patio for Bien Trucha available. They have their main menu as well as some seasonal specials. They seem to specialize in coffee drinks but also have some tea & food/pastry options. When I visited, I ordered the Iced Whiskey Vanilla Latte. The staff member mentioned it was a popular drink and made in house but the flavor was rather subtle and appeared to be prebatched. My husband got a Hot Chai Latte which was pretty good! This spot could benefit from having more syrup flavors to add to standard products to give customers more variety. Either way, I'm happy I visited.

We ordered a few of there holiday drinks. I ordered a Oatmilk Holiday Cookie latte and was really good in my opinion 8.5/10.

The drinks came out pretty fast, typically usually only around 2 people working from my experience, but really great service. I think this is a hidden gem and will definitely be back.

It started to make me feel sick and didn't want to stay too long. It was also confusing because they only list one price on their menu for every item and don't say a size. So I was confused when the girl asked me what size I wanted and I wasn't sure what price I was paying. I just ordered a medium iced latte with blackberry syrup. They have a lot of different syrup options! I didn't really like the latte that much and couldn't really taste the syrup almost as if it wasn't added. Maybe it's just because I prefer my lattes a lot more sweet and creamy, and this one tasted more like black coffee.

Everything from their roasts and drinks to the decor was fantastic. My wife had an iced vanilla latte, and I ordered a flat white. The flat white was beautifully balanced with smooth chocolate and light nutty notes, without being overly dark or roasted. I also picked up a 10 oz bag of their Brazil Yellow Bourbon Natural to brew at home. The staff was incredibly welcoming and even brought our drinks right to our table. Highly recommend!

Donuts and donut holes were approved by my kiddos who definitely asked when we're going back. The person behind the counter was super nice and welcoming. Will definitely be back soon!

Ironically the barista did make it seem like most people don't know what a flat white actually is, so I was confident it would be made properly, but then I got served a double shot of espresso with regular milk it seems.

They did have a larger crowd so I'm sure they have plenty of other great coffee options

FGR curates an excellent selection of coffee gear, coffee's and provides free shipping. I was especially impressed by Eric, his responsiveness to my questions, and his knowledge of brewing different methods of coffee. While Baratza was delayed in shipping my order, Eric kept me informed and expedited the order with a Baratza rep. He even took some time to explain brewing techniques and recommended a scale that saved me $$, even though they did not stock it themselves. On receiving the order, there was a minor defect in a silicon gasket, and Eric immediately ordered a free replacement with Baratza. Despite living in San Francisco, I will recommend FGR for their great selection of artisan coffees and brew gear, excellent customer service that goes beyond lip service. I trust them, and after my positive experience and will continue to shop and endorse. Thank you Eric.

Perhaps NYE had the staff tired... I am attempting to give them the benefit of the doubt. My husband loves his coffee in the morning, and for every single refill, he had to get up and ask for it. He got a biscuit, and had to get up to ask for butter. If a place is called "Tasty Biscuit," then they had better be sure to serve Tasty Biscuits! His was stale and just fell apart. I had the Avocado Toast, and both the toast and the avocado were inedible. I felt that they used bread and avocado that they had purchased over a week ago. The prices at Tasty Biscuit are a bit higher than at most diners, so I feel it is entirely fair to receive at least adequate food and service, of which we received neither. I hated leaving this review, but Tasty Biscuit should feel worse with sub-par to awful everything as a start to 2026.
