The coffee selections are numerous, and you can get them on the strong side or a bit weaker. They also have a number of pastries that can delight your taste buds ... the only glitch we saw was that they did not have a large selection of croissants. For example, we could not get just a plain croissant. But even given that, this was a very nice coffee stop for those that really like good coffee. The dining room was nice and large, with many different sections to settle into with your coffee. Loads of outlets to plug in your lap top if you come with one for a little work. Staff was very friendly, and it is pretty much an order at the counter and get your coffee. They don't need a large staff to run this place, as it pretty much runs itself other than the coffee-master. Give this place a try.

In the slew of coffee houses that opened in OP I like Marouf A LOT! That's not too descriptive, I…read moreknow, but the ambience is modern and coffees are delicious. I always opt in for the hot Pistachio latte. It's not too rich, but enough to quench your sweetness for a delicious drink. There's plenty of seating but this place is always packed. I don't think I've ever gone in when it's empty, whether it's noon or night. There's also quite the selection of pastries! So many delicious desserts and buns! You can't go wrong with any selection. Everyone is friendly and helpful at Marouf! This is one of my favorite coffee houses in the SW burbs!

We visited Folklore in Lemont yesterday and had the absolute best time. Even though the café was…read morepretty crowded, we were still able to get a cozy table against the wall, which made the whole experience even nicer. I ordered their special Baboo Chai which has blueberry and cinnamon roll flavors, and it was unbelievable. Sweet, warm, and totally unique. My brother got a hot chocolate and an apple fritter, and he couldn't stop talking about how delicious everything was. We drove a little over an hour to get there, and it was truly so worth the trip. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming the entire time. You can tell they really care about their customers. Even with the rush, they kept the line moving quickly and stayed warm and kind with everyone who came through the door. The whole energy of the place just felt comforting and happy. I definitely recommend visiting Folklore if you get the chance. It is one of those spots that makes you want to come back again and again for both the amazing drinks and the wonderful service.

Everyone went home with leftovers because the portions were so large. Most people only ate half of their sandwich. We cut the pizzas into smaller slices to serve as an appetizer. The veggie was my favorite! Not only was the food delicious, the service was great as well. Two of the guys that worked there helped bring the box of food to my car which was extremely kind and made it so easy for me. It was a large order and everything was on time and ready when promised. It was also still warm and nothing was missing from the order. Thank you Cafe Cappuccino!

Being that Ramadan had recently started, I assumed this was post iftar, the evening break in the fast and peeps were coming for drinks and desserts. The drink menu is on a display but it doesn't mention what flavors are associated in some of their custom drinks. I was split between a Habibi, coconut or Biscoff flavored lattes. A conversation with the barista pushed me towards the aforementioned and they said they could lighten the sweetness. I don't remember the details of exactly what gives its "Middle Eastern flair", the flavors worked and kept me awake for the drive. Judging from the many orders being called out, I picked the most popular. If you dig chill spaces to work & or meet new peeps, seek out details on their IG page. They host lively events to discover their new menu items and or trivia nights engaging popular topics Ie Star Wars, Marvel, and more.

This was a nice little café that popped up in a strip mall on 151st Street. A number of these cafés…read morehave started in Orland Park, and we're making the round of them ... the last one we were at was Marouf Café, which serves that namesake coffee). Cello was the same, but different. Similar to the Starbucks ethos, they specialize in a number of fancy coffees, yet still offer plain old brewed coffee. We tried the brewed coffee (5-star fresh and hot), some Green Tea called mint (5-star delish), and a fruit crêpe. Now the fruit crêpe was also a 5-star offering, but you better come hungry ... it was a huge helping, and we ended up splitting it but still could not finish. It was a freshly made crêpe with Nutella and a light cream sauce inside, piled with fresh fruit and then a drizzle of Nutella and the cream sauce on top. This was a meal-sized delight. Many of the other offerings seem to be simply a different riff on the fruit crêpe, which can also come on a fresh waffle. Now this is not the kind of place where you pop in for a quick coffee to go ... but, rather, it takes time to get food (service) here because most of it is freshly made. But that said, if you have the time the food (crepes, coffee, and tea) were worth the wait. Ambiance wise, the decor was very nice ... just enough fru-fru to make you forget you're in a strip mall. There are a number of chairs, tables, and and sofas around to make many seating arrangements, which was nice; you can come with a group or as a single and feel welcome. The only negatives on our visit: the music list was fine, but way too loud; they must turn the music down so patrons can have a conversation. When we arrived we noticed an employee parking their car right in front of the establishment (5 feet from the entrance) and we thought that maybe they could have parked in the spaces just across the lot (35 feet from the door); it just makes sense to cater to your customers, rather than yourself. But all that said, this was a nice new offering in Orland Park.

So tasty! Plenty of seating, with tables, score! 2 gender neutral bathrooms available. Definitely one of the better coffee spots I've checked out in awhile. I will definitely return if I'm in the area.

I was still slightly full from lunch, so I had a few bites of the cupcake and took the rest home. This place feels like coffeehouses from decades long gone, well before Starbucks changed the coffee landscape. There are plenty of chairs and seats for comfortable seating. And it may be that I arrived when there was no crowd because service was spot on. Although I took advantage of the good weather to sit outside, I will come here when I want coffee and a relaxed atmosphere without any rush.
