But over the past few months I've been there three times, and every time they are sold out of so many breads and pastries... Today I visited around 1 pm hoping to buy a baguette for dinner, and they were sold out. Since they're open until 9 pm, I asked if they were baking any more of them--but I was told once they're sold out, that's it for the day. So... The baguette shop was going to stay open for 8 more hours with no baguettes? Ce n'est pas bon... The pastries we bought today to enjoy onsite were very good--a strawberry mochi donut and a raspberry cream bite. The cream inside the raspberry treat was sublime. I ordered an iced mocha and couldn't finish the second half because it was too dense and sweet. My daughter was happier with her iced matcha. Folks have noted before that this place feels pricey, and that rings true. It feels almost punitively expensive here. All in all this is a pretty little place, but the supply chain clearly can't keep up and the prices are pretty high. It's probably best for early risers and folks looking for a splurge.

We had the coffee croissant donut, valentines day mochi donut, fruit tart and football creme donut (because Super Bowl!) Service was good, the worker wasn't overly communicative, but did what they had to do and got our coffee orders right. It was pretty crowded for Friday morning, so tables were a little limited, but we managed to find a spot and there were plenty of pastries!

Blackberry Market is one of my favorite lunch spots. It's also a great place to grab a coffee and…read moredo some work. They have a decently sized seating area, and in the warmer months, there's a patio to sit outside. It can get a bit loud inside during the weekends and peak hours, so not ideal if you prefer quieter environments to do work. I absolutely love their brownies, especially their blackberry brownie, but they were out the day I went so I got the red velvet cupcake instead and it was perfectly moist and soft. You truly can't go wrong with any of their bakery items. I also got the pesto pasta salad, which I highly recommend.

My sister suggested Blackberry Market in Glen Ellyn for lunch. They have a great selection on their…read moremenu for both breakfast and lunch, and they also have ready-to-go items in a refrigerated case. I had the pick two, which was a half a sandwich (grilled cheese) with a half salad (kale Caesar). The salad was so good! Fresh, crisp and lightly dressed. However, the grilled cheese was pretty sad. I opened it up and there was hardly any cheese. It was just like eating two pieces of grilled bread. They need to improve on that for sure. I also had their 12oz wildflower latte which was very tasty, but served lukewarm and not hot. If the milk is not steamed, it will bring down the temperature of the coffee. I like my specialty coffees served hot. I do have to say every staff member we came in contact with was friendly. They seemed happy and were there to help and answer questions. You place your order at the counter, and you receive a number which you display at your table. There are two dining areas with tables and a few booths to dine at next to where you place your order. Members of the staff bring your order to the table. We didn't have to wait long for our drinks and food. Even with the sad grilled cheese sandwich which was disappointing and the lukewarm latte, I would definitely go back to Blackberry Market again to try other items on their menu. I'll pass on the grilled cheese, though.

They have a wide variety of drinks and desserts, so there's truly something for everyone. The ambiance is calm, cozy, and feels like the perfect place to unwind or catch up with a friend. I ordered the Peach Mango Black Tea and a slice of my favorite Carrot Cake, and both were absolutely delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but for the quality, experience, and relaxing vibe, it felt completely worth it. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this gem to all my friends!

Heading further in, you'll find the ordering counter, and you can even catch a glimpse of coffee beans being roasted, which adds a nice touch to the atmosphere. They offer both a seasonal menu and a straightforward regular menu, making it easy to find something you like. Overall, the environment felt calm and laid-back. The staff were more on the quiet side personally, I'm used to more outgoing baristas, but that's just a matter of preference.

My friends and I were looking for a spot for post-lunch coffee and found Five and Hoek. It is a…read morereally cute, modern cafe in Wheaton. The building looks like it was converted from a church, and the back seating area has some high stained glass windows. In the middle of the cafe is a narrow hallway/corridor where the supply closet and the single stall bathroom is, so it segments the cafe into two areas, connected by this hallway in the center. The design feels very clearly like a remnant of an old historic building, and a brick alleyway runs along one side. In the space/room where you order (walking through the seating area and through the hallway), it opens up with huge windows and a huge industrial coffee grinder on full display. There's another counter to order, with a few pastry options, and along another side wall, a rack of F&H clothes for purchase and the drink menus. (The aesthetic reminded me of Blue Bottle.) I ordered an iced Whiskey Vanilla Latte with oak milk and it was good! I couldn't taste any whiskey at all, and when I ordered the barista had mentioned this (cooked off so you wouldn't taste it) so it was a decent vanilla latte. I'll give them props for a really cool unique flavor. We all grabbed our drinks and headed (back through the hallway) into the other room with the seating area. There is a small section with a couch, otherwise lots of tables and chairs and I was glad it wasn't too crowded so we were able to grab a table. This was a great spot to grab coffee and meet up with friends. It's in a neat little downtown area in Wheaton, and they offer creative coffee drinks, with beans and merch to purchase.

The service was kind and generous. A warm, inviting, comfortable, classy vibe for this coffee shop. Lots of tables and outlets, which is a plus for working. Also, delicious (not too sweet, which is a must for us!) and unique coffee drinks. We had the cardamom rose latte and honey blackseed latte - in actual mugs when you order for here (woohoo!). Love the "complimentary drink" area where you can pre-pay for a drink for a friend and leave the coffee cup sleeve with their name and a note, waiting for them when they arrive. Overall, a welcome addition to Warrenville! We can easily see the space being used for a business meeting space or event space. The menu for the Fusion Social side of the business looks delicious and intriguing. Can't wait to try it!
