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.

They had some summer specials that caught my eye. I chose the iced coconut cookie latte. Unfortunately, I felt like it was was watered down. I could barely taste the coconut or any other flavor to it. Might have just been just a miss for that day. It happens. I wouldn't go out of my way for it, but I'd try it again. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

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.

The staff are extremely knowledgeable about all of their products, and can give you quite a few hints as to what to use each thing for, and they're great about finding exactly what you need even if you weren't sure what it was at first. We've gone in there wanting to get a tea, for this mood, or feeling this way, or just to experiment with a new flavor and after just a couple of simple questions they had several suggestions, and you can sample some of the oils, teas, etc.. They do have a few places to sit if you want to have a nice small pot of hot tea while you work. We've made this a minimum of once or twice a week visit, and suggest the same for anyone wanting quality tea, seasonings, essential oils, etc.

As for the rest of the ambiance, walking in i was greeted with the strong smell of burnt food and the whole place is filled with a light smoke from the kitchen. The counters are disorganized, cluttered with boxes and dirty rags. Mariah, my barista, was not the least bit friendly. She made no eye contact the entire time I ordered, and ignored my "thank you" when I picked up my drink. She seemed awfully friendly with her other employees though, as they could be heard hollering and laughing in the kitchen through my entire stay, but i'll try not to take that personally. When I saw "roastery" in the title, I expected the quality of the coffee to reflect the time they apparently put into making it. I was greatly disappointed. The cortado was obviously overextracted and burnt, with little to no foam on top. My tea was given to me dripping and made a mess on the table. Overall quite disappointing. One star is deserved for the great view however! -The Honorable Jerry Thomas

The menu is simple and easy to navigate, which I actually appreciate -- no overwhelming options, just solid choices done well. The space is on the smaller side, but it still feels open and comfortable. It definitely seems like a great spot to work remotely or knock out some homework. The food was really good, and the coffee delivered too. I ordered my food to go, so I didn't get to fully soak in the ambiance, but the overall vibe was inviting. A heads up: the maple aioli has a little kick to it, but not overpowering. My picture do not do the food justice. I'd absolutely come back, especially to stay and enjoy it next time.

This is the second Krema Coffee location I have visited and was slightly disappointed. The North…read moreAurora location is located off of Randall Rd on the street level of an apartment building. It's a little bit tucked away but they did have plenty of parking. The inside had three areas of seating with tables & chairs and some lounge chairs. I asked the staff member what flavor lattes they offered as the menu was a bit confusing. I had previewed a menu online and didn't see half those flavors listed on the menu board nor by the register. I ended up ordering a 12oz hot honey lavender latte. The coffee beans itself tasted a bit burnt to me which altered the whole flavor of the drink. I also ordered the Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Bagel as they serve Jake's Bagels here. The sandwich was good but could have used a sauce. I also didn't get much of the cheese flavor. My entire order was just over $16 which also felt a bit high for what I ordered. I think this location is cute but could make some improvements to better compete in the area.
