I am also a fan if their chocolate chip and pistachio muffin tops. The white zombie drink is pretty good also, a very nutty type taste to it. They have a loyalty punch card to get $1 off once you reach 10, but I think it should be a free drink! ;-)

We had a party of ten and all of our food and drink was delivered in a timely manner. My salmon noodle bowl was out of this world! No body had complaints, all were happy with the tasty food and wait service. Thank you Noah for making our birthday celebration special! Bad news..they take no reservations! We had concert tickets to Culture Club. We waited 18 minutes just to speak to the hostess. Then we waited an additional 40 minutes for a table(s).The two hostesses never greeted us, smiled or looked like they wanted to help us. No name tags on either. Pouted the entire wait. So two extremes! You need more Noah's!

The Messi chicken sandwich was delicious. Crispy chicken with the right amount of tasty sauce and fries. The chicken sandwich I got was huge! It was really good with a side of coleslaw.

5 stars for the Cherry Valley Cafe…read more I really enjoyed this cute little neighborhood cafe. There is plenty of seating inside, and our waitress (I believe her name was Pam), was extremely friendly and provided quick and great service. I also got to meet the owner who was very nice. I tried the Mushroom & Swiss Omlette, which was fantastic. It went great with their local signature hot sauce, which had a nice smoky kind of taste to it and wasn't crazy spicy, perfect for breakfast. The prices are super reasonable as well. Overall, you should definitely support this small business and check out Cherry Valley Cafe - it's very close to the Hurricane Harbor Rockford water park if you're planning on going there in the summertime.

I got my usual iced coffee and thought it was just fine. I couldn't quite put my finger on the after taste. Almost a bit smoky or noticeable roasted flavor. There is a lot of seating available to linger and enjoy your beverage. Overall a pleasant experience but wouldn't be my top stop in the area for an iced coffee.

A place that gets packed at breakfast. That's no surprise because nowhere else in town opens as early. Crowded but we found a table at breakfast. It's mostly a place to get coffee and baked goods. The menu is bigger than it seems. Also has things at lunch. There's quite a lot to look through. It's about $4 for a coffee. The one I got was the Samoa Mocha. Get it cold or hot. This is made with caramel, coconut cream, and mocha. It's about $2 for baked items. They had vegan chocolate chip cookies from a local bakery, along with the usual things like croissants and muffins. Going here might be a challenge. It's busy and there's limited hours. They're closed Sundays and Mondays, only open for breakfast and lunch, and they close earlier Saturdays.

It just seems like it would be more natural to me to walk in at the ramp and order then continue walking into the store to pick up your drinks. Today I watched about seven people lined up on that ramp waiting to order before was mentioned that they have to go through the crowd of people waiting for their drinks to the other side to get in line to order their drinks. I just think it would cause a lot less confusion and maybe frustration of customers if you were to flip those two areas

Oh and they also feature an adjacent, highly-curated fine wine and spirits shop, and an upstairs speakeasy to boot!

The front has large windows, a couple of patio tables, and bright yellow mums that invite you to step inside. Once inside, it's a big space with a chill vibe. The order counter is large, with a few seats and a good view into the barista area. There's plenty of seating for different-sized groups, plus an elevated seating and stage area at the back. It was late Monday afternoon, and there were only a couple of other people inside. I got a friendly greeting from the barista and help with my order. I went with my usual London Fog Tea Latte in a mug (little lavender, little vanilla, extra foam). I also wanted some bakery, but the only options were cookies and brownies, so I chose the Molasses Cookie. Along with that, I ordered a Peach Mango Refresher. The beverages and cookie were good. The refresher was made with half coconut milk, which added some richness. The London Fog was decent, and the cookie was chewy and flavorful. It made for a very relaxing time, sitting on a sofa and reading a book. On the way out, we browsed the small wine and grocery room off to the right. Lots of interesting spices, wines, vinegars, and gift ideas. This is definitely a place I'll stop in again.
