Met a family member there for mid morning coffee. She goes there a lot and really likes the place…read more Not overly crowded, nicely decorated, variety of people, some doing computer work, typical type coffeehouse stuff. Had the Mofowar. Tasty, seem like it had a little bit of chocolate on the bottom. I liked it. She had a cappuccino, that that's her usual she enjoyed it very much. We split a piece of Dubai chocolate cake on a recommendation of our barista. It was excellent!!! His service was phenomenal! Pleasant, but not over the top. Kind, yet chill. I didn't catch his name but basically he was a good dude ! This is a nice place to go have a coffee and a little snack with friends. Recommended!

This place has plenty of seating once you walk in and WiFi if you wanted to WFH. We got their…read morebanana matcha and adeni chai which was good. It was like banana cold foam on top of the matcha. The service was great. We also got their honeycomb (khaliat Alnahl) and which has cheese balls in between and it was good. Really liked how this place is very calming with no music playing. There's plenty of options on the menu including breakfast croissant or desserts.

I really enjoy this spot for lunch. It's casual, has easy parking, and the food is made fresh…read morein-house with plenty of relatively healthy options. Some of my favorites are the chorizo breakfast wrap, the roast beef panini, and their signature Italian wedding soup. My wife and I usually add a side trio to get some greens in as well, which is always a great complement to our meal. Service is straightforward. You order up at the counter, grab your number, and find a seat. Just a note that it can get busy on weekends and during peak lunch hours, so plan accordingly. In addition, they also have a full coffee bar if you're in the mood for an espresso or specialty drink. Solid lunch spot that we keep coming back to. I'm a fan. 'Til next time, cheers!

I have another favorite coffee shop in the area, so although blackberry has been on my radar, I…read morehaven't made the trip. After finally visiting, I'm not sure I would return. My latte was mediocre at best. It wasn't very flavorful, and it wasn't very coffee forward, so I wonder if they use less shots of espresso than is standard or less strong espresso. The thing that bothered me most though was that the barista swirled my drink in front of me, it splashed all over out of the top and sides of the lid, and instead of fixing it or apologizing (or even just acknowledging it!!!!), he proceeded to hand it to me and said "have a great day!" I walked over with my baby in tow and cleaned it up myself. It was SO odd to me. The space is bright, there are plenty of seats, and parking is easy. Such a shame that I didn't like the actual latte more! :/

We've have these machines and have had them for a while but no one knows how to use them" . "All we have is regular coffee". While I don't blame anyone for not having a fancy coffee area, when your looking for coffee and the map says the closet is "Ellie's Coffee", it was very disappointing to not have what you thought, by the name, any other coffee but "black". All I'm saying is the Name of the place is deceiving cus it's not a coffee bar but rather, just a bar.

Last month while roaming around oak brook, I was looking for a cafe and saw this online…read more From outside it looks an average cafe but interiors are really good. This place has recently opened and the lady at the bar made sure that good care of everyone was taken. She did a nice explanation on stuff she has and gave a lot of options in beverages to choose from. This place is open till midnight and has slots to enjoy over a cup of coffee or a beer and well coffee is free if you opt for slots. So surely worth to try over the weekend with friends.

I went to this location because I didn't like the selection at the Winfield location. It looked…read morelike yesterday's product that didn't sell, and I got there right when they opened. But, I am reviewing the Lombard location. The selection was good and fresh, although some of their items are a bit pricey. I ordered cake pops, brownies, and a chocolate chip cookie. The sales person was pleasant and quick. This store is their biggest store, and they feed the Winfield and Schaumburg stores. They make their pastries at this location, so you'll probably get the freshest selection at the Lombard location. I had bought a gift card from Costco for Sweet Reserve. I admit if I hadn't bought it, and received a discount at Costco for it, I probably would not have noticed the store. It's in a small strip mall on Roosevelt road which has hundreds of strip malls off the road. The store itself is clean and well kept. It does have a limited selection of products but they were all pretty good. The brownies are very frudgey, just the way I like them. The cake pops are sweet, but a little dry. The cookie has a lot of chips in them. Overall, I liked the place.

5 stars because they have large coffee options…read more.. Nice spot in Lombard great for business meetings, studying, or just getting you a quick coffee and pastry. Close at 10pm but if you need longer later hours a 1am tea shop is about a quarter mile down the road with good options also. Parking lot with plenty of parking. My highlight is that they have booths. Plenty of tables and seating. Good menu options for lattes, iced, hot, espresso, etc. Reasonable priced and they have 20oz coffee. The service was nice as the girl was kind but she didn't seem to understand me well and she didn't know if the coffee was Turkish or not. Therefore, I ordered an Americano with their homemade pistachio sauce. It was a nice beverage. I also ordered a Turkish bread with ground beef. It too was delicious, hot and fresh. The ambiance is inviting. The pastries and mini to small cake options were quite beautiful. The nose level was very quiet until little ones came in. Still tolerable but if you are studying and it's busy don't forget your headphones. Lol. I studied for about 3 hours and I would definitely return again.

A gathering of ex-coworkers always means two things: great belly laughs and constant tea flowing…read more Pair that with good food and ACTUAL good tea, and you've got one for the books! We tried several things from this cafe, and everything was phenomenal, but there was one thing that was beyond all the stars, but here's a breakdown of it all: Potato Savory - so basically if you're looking for chaat, this is it. They call it savory, we call it chaat, but in either case, you can tell this isn't something pre-made and slapped into a bowl. The veggies were crunchy, not soggy. The chutney was sharp, but not overwhelming. And all the condiments and veggies and chickpeas together made a cohesive dish, well balanced. Definitely recommend. 8.5/10 Chicken Club Sandwich - this sandwich is....a LOT. In a good way! The pulled chicken is seasoned well. It's massive and there is a lot of flavor in each bite. This gives Chai Ho Jai (Naperville) a definite run for its money. 9/10 Filli Chicken Seasoned Flatbread - we tried this one second, and my God, it's a definite 10 out of 10! 10/10. Dynatime Chicken Flatbread - okay, so we tried this flatbread first, and I thought it was a 10/10, but then I tried the other flatbread and realized this was a definite 11/10! Lacha Melt Chicken - this was great, very akin to a quesadilla with a paratha. Unique concept, yes, but not my favorite thing here. And yet, well seasoned and delicious. 8/10! Pistachio Latte (Iced) - this was a stand out. This latte was SO delicious, I got one - everyone took a sip, and then we ordered more! Sooooo goooooooood!!!! 10/10! Now let's get to the STAR OF THE SHOW: The FRIES - the fries that came with all the entrees were hot, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The perfect specimen for a fry. Add to that the lovely spice powder sprinkled on top of them - they are delicious, melt in your mouth, and in addition to being the perfect accompaniment to the food, they're absolutely great all on their own! 100/10! Definitely recommend this place - the ambience and the service are both absolutely great. As long as the taste of the food remains consistent and this place remains clean and hospitable, this is going to be one of the top notch places in the area. Don't overcrowd the menu, either, it's perfect as it is!

Came to the Filli Cafe today with my family -…read more The cafe has a nice open ambiance which can seat a decent amount of seating. The tv also had some random first person view of walking in a third world country which was strange - come bro play some Shah Rukh Khan music at least! The customer service is fast and friendly. We ordered the following items: - Masala Paneer Flat Bread - Chicken Dynamite Flat Bread - Paapdi Chaat - Chicken Shawarma Bowl - Butter Chicken Bowl - Chicken Dynamite Sandwich - Masala Fries - Zafrani Chai Honestly the taste wasn't there for me the fusion of Chaat with pizza and burger is not it. Overall mid experience :/

I also got the Vanilla Coconut latte, which basically tasted like a coconut latte, so if you love coconut it would be your jam. Service was fine, the folks working there were pleasant. It has lots of bright natural lighting, and plenty of seating, but I do wish the chairs were more comfortable. This isn't a place I would bring a laptop to set up shop and work for a few hours, personally, but others may feel differently. Parking lot had plenty of space as well, which was great. If I'm in the area again I would go back.

Staff was really friendly too, didn't feel rushed or anything. I ordered the hot chocolate and... wow. First thing, the size. I've never seen a cup that big at a coffee shop. Pretty sure it healed my soul right away. Taste wise, super smooth. Nice and hot. Had light cinnamon notes that show up after a sip. Not overly sweet either, which I liked. Creamy texture, almost like melted chocolate but lighter. They even did latte art on top and served it in this artisan cup. Looked way too nice for something I was about to destroy in five minutes. Came for chocolate, left spiritually repaired. Honestly might come back next time my soul needs maintenance.

Great coffee spot to work from but wasn't thrilled with the food. I ordered the bacon, avocado egg…read morewhite ciabatta and there was really nothing to it and very bland. The avocado was hard I ended up taking it off of the breakfast sandwich. Willing to give their other food items a try though with all things considered. On the other hand, the coffee was good. They have a variety of matcha option flavors, which I liked being a matcha fan. Tried the pistachio latte and have to admit I was a little disappointed the presentation wasn't as nice as the photos on their page though. I will give them another try if I'm in the area again.
