One of my new favorite coffee shops. I came across it while heading back home through Plainfield…read moreearlier this month. It's located inside of a warehouse space that houses a couple of different businesses including the Ten Drops roastery but the shop itself is a big space all its own and they have done a nice job giving it a good vibe. I ordered an iced version of one of their signature drinks, the Spice latte and it was one of the best tasting coffee drinks I've had in the area. It had great tasting espresso with a perfect balance of milk and flavoring. The barista was very friendly and the fact that she had the place quietly jamming to Aerodynamic when I walked in was a big plus. I took a seat while waiting for my drink and was kind of bummed I couldn't stick around to take a load off and enjoy it while the sun poured in from all of the big windows but it was okay because I just looked more forward to coming back soon.

They rotate creative latte flavors like honey lavender, chocolate cherry, and lemon honey and I am always down to try whatever is new. The espresso itself is mild, which works as a base but I personally wish it had a little more backbone. The iced lavender matcha is my personal standout and I will not be taking questions. They also let you build your own combinations, and a recent banana brown sugar iced latte I dreamed up was exactly as good as it sounds. The food punches above typical coffee shop fare. The Beyond sandwich with its sweet heat chipotle aioli is a genuine win, vegan or not. The brown sugar bacon gouda is a household favorite for my family. The baked treats are decent but honestly priced a touch above what they deliver. They are the only coffee shop in the area so the pricing reflects that reality more than the competition. The space is your standard coffee shop Joanna Gaines-esque rustic, warm and comfortable. They feature local art on the walls which I love, though I wish they rotated it more frequently. Easy way to keep things fresh and support the local creative community more actively. Staff is kind, genuinely engaging, and this is a queer safe space, which matters and is always worth naming out loud.

Situated just off of Rt 30 / Lincoln Highway in Cresthill IL on the side of the road it's a little red house with a decent sized parking lot. Super cute and way cozy. I always notice the patio that folks sit on early mornings and decided it was time. Upon entering I had three super friendly women say hello to me. It's larger than it looks with seating inside in nice booths and really well decorated. It's also very clean and customers keep rolling in on way to work. The staff is awesome and the women I spoke to informed me that they've been there about 5 years and that all the pastures are made in house. These are not average d eryday pastries they are luxurious treats beautifully created at a reasonable price. The in house bakers need a huge shout out along with the entire staff. Their coffee is really good too, string but not at all overwhelming. Actually excellent stop. I'm sure they will be seeing more of me. You really gotta try this place and I'm sure you'll return.

Critical Grind is certainly a great place if you like board and card games. Has crap tons to choose from including some most people have never heard about before coming here. The drinks and food aren't the main attraction but these are good mostly. Came here the first time and we just wanted to look around. It's got a counter to order at and a few tables in front. The back is where it's at as far as fun and games. A crap ton of board games are piled up basically. Has so many games back here it's hard to pick just one. The drinks and food are easier choices thankfully. It's about $5 to get a latte. There's some non dairy milk choices including oat. It's about $6 for avocado toast, of which there's a few choices. The Hummzza comes with balsamic glaze, basils, and tomatoes. Great place with lots of fun. It's located in the plaza next to the sports cards store. There's often events going on here so check the website.

I was on my way to work so I had to stop in the parking lot and clean myself off and wipe my car I decided to try one more time and here I am upset again. I ordered a very simple macchiato. What did they give me a black coffee! I noticed as I had turned the corner so of course I have to make my way all the way back and sit in the drive-through again to tell them my order was wrong when I pull up to the window they have my coffee ready and guess what it taste like shit! They definitely need to work on hiring more equipped staff that actually knows what they are doing. Will most definitely not be returning to this Starbucks as there is another nearby also, seven brew is down the street :)

I usually trek all the way to R53 and 135th Street to be safe! But, I decided to give this spot a try today. I placed my order and, honestly, I was blown away! The barista (a lovely Hispanic woman, around 10:20 am on January 7th - if you have a system for recognizing great work, she deserves some kudos!) made my drink absolutely perfectly. It was seriously delicious, the best coffee I've had in a while. So, thanks to her amazing work, I'll definitely be back! This changes my whole perspective on this location.
