    Really love the outside vibe here--simple and not over the top. The inside has a cute little boutique that donates a portion from every purchase, which I thought was such a nice touch. The coffee menu is delish! I got the churro latte, and it was amazing. Also couldn't resist grabbing an apple cider donut because, fall duh. Definitely a cozy spot worth stopping by!

    My half of the sky rocks! Women, locally owned PLUS they also give back to women survivors of abuse, human trafficking and drug addition?! LOVE IT! This is the perfect place to grab coffee then stroll the streets of downtown Wheaton. The spot itself is an old house turned into a cafe. Indoor seating is limited (20ish) to the public and they also have paid business/conference rooms. I tried the churro latte and enjoyed it. It had the perfect amount of cinnamon and honey, not overly sweet yet sweet enough. I also ordered a breakfast sandwich and will pass on food next time. I appreciate they have food options though. The middle of my sandwich was still pretty frozen but everything else was warmed up just fine.

    Cute cafe with free WiFi always great for business meetings or studying ... lots of merchandise like jewelry etc on sale for folk who may need last minute gifts . Has outdoor and indoor seating ... not very big but has cubicles for rent to conduct meetings The chai and cappuccino were ok

    My Half of the Sky is a local Wheaton coffee shop with a purpose! Part of their profits goes towards supporting survivors of human trafficking, homelessness, addictions or extreme poverty. They thrive to serve the community by offerings coffee, baked goods, small business goods, and an environment to work and connect. Their business continues to offer more to the community to support their missions. I visited on a Saturday morning right before it got busy. They have both iPad kiosk's and their standard ordering counter to service visitors. Note that ordering online ahead of time offers 10% off orders. I got the 12oz hot lavender vanilla latte and my fiancé got the 16oz huckleberry chai tea latte. I enjoyed my coffee latte's flavor but the chai tea ended up being a bit sweet for my liking. Also, the huckleberry chai does not come in a 12oz option for some reason. The coffee shop itself is rather small to meet demands. It tends to feel claustrophobic when they have a big crowd. Next time, I would certain order ahead to pick up easy!

    My Half of The Sky is a cute little coffee shop located downtown Wheaton. Every time I visit this place seems to be crowded, but I don't mind because the vibe is pretty cool. I had higher expectations from their lemonades, I thought they were freshly made using real fruit but instead I received what seems to be a lemonade mix out of the packet. A bit disappointing. I haven't tried their food yet, maybe next time I visit I will try it. Just an FYI, the shop is extremely difficult to maneuver if you are bringing a stroller. It is close to impossible to carry the stroller onto the second floor. However, I do really enjoy the vibe of this place so I will be back many times, especially during hot summer days!

    New fall & winter merch! Not a newbie, local resident I come quite often. The fall drink list is lovely, and I bought a tub of the chocolate chip cookie dough it is divine.

    good middle-of-the-road coffee & food. i've had better and i've also had a lot worse. really respect their ethical sourcing and social justice pursuits

    Egg and cheese empanada  Biscotti Latte

    Love this place! Perfect place to get some work done or chat with friends. They have a wide array of drinks and food to choose from. There was a long line but the staff got through it very quickly and I didn't have to wait long for my order! The biscotti latte was delicious; the empanada wasn't the best but their baked goods looked delicious! Definitely will be coming back to try other things on the menu.

    I love supporting small and local businesses so I checked out My Half of the Sky today and really enjoyed learning about their philanthropic efforts, ethical sourcing and opportunities for women. They have a variety of retail items, including jewelry, coffee cups and candles. Also appreciate that they have a parking lot. Service was great but I wish I could say the food and coffee were too. The banana bread donut was ice cold and a bit dry but had great flavor. The latte was on the lighter side- more for people who don't like strong coffee. I personally like my coffee to knock my socks off and this wasn't it. Overall nothing was "bad" but not sure if I'd give them a raving review.

    I was a little under impressed with the coffee. Overall, it was average. I don't know why it got such a high rating.

    A few years ago, I saw a friend post a picture of a store with an insane Jellycat selection, so I…read moremessaged her and had to know where, and she told me about Fairytales in downtown Lombard. I have since probably purchased over 20 Jellycats from here, it's my favorite way to do so because I love supporting a local business and this shop is genuinely just the best. Outside of Jellycats, I've gotten Hello Kitty Blue Sky Ceramics, an Allen designs clock, Christmas ornaments, a lazy Susan, and baby gifts. Although I don't live in the area, anytime I'm out towards Oak Brook I ALWAYS make sure to stop by Fairytales to see what's new. Unfortunately due to the immense popularity of Jellycats, their stock has declined significantly which is a bit of a bummer, but it seems to be out of their control from my understanding. Everyone I've interacted with here has been incredibly sweet, I've done waitlist orders (I was able to get the large snow dragon jellycat this was as well as some of the rare Christmas ornaments!), and I've done a few online pickup orders as well. Each time my items are packaged beautifully and I feel so special walking out with the super high quality, beautifully branded Fairytales bag. Downtown Lombard truly has a gem, if it was closer to me I'd frequent a lot more, but it just makes my trips even more special when I do get to stop by.

    I purchased an alpaca plush from the Lombard location around July 20th of this year, and it broke…read morejust a few days ago- less than two months after I purchased it. It wasn't a small tear either, its entire head came off. Honestly it was quite the massacre (photo below). So, I called them to see if I could get a replacement, or at least store credit because frankly it was quite expensive ($100 for the large size). Anyways, they said there was nothing they could do because the return period of THREE DAYS had passed, which is ridiculous because who is ever returning something within three days of purchasing?? Also, I wasn't even trying to return it, I was trying to get compensation for my poor alpaca. It makes me wonder what they would've done if it broke four days after purchase?? Just tell me "sorry, sucks to suck" after losing $100? Now, I understand that it may have been too hopeful to want a full replacement since a month had gone by, however I don't think it's unreasonable to expect store credit or a coupon or something. But no, they couldn't even offer that. I know that it's a small business so they aren't able to take the hit as much as a big corporation would but seriously, if you're charging $100 for a plushy and it breaks less than two months after purchasing, you should be able to offer some sort of compensation. I miss my alpaca but unfortunately, as a poor college student, I can't afford to scalp out another $100 to replace it. Usually I don't take the time to write reviews, but I'm so upset that my alpaca is gone and the poor customer service that I have just experienced that I felt it necessary to warn future customers to be wary when spending a lot of money at this store.
