I came here when I was driving into town for my favorite high school teacher's retirement party and to visit my dad (he was at Delnor -- he's doing well now!). I had picked up my trusty DD iced coffee early in the morning, as I also had a full work-from-home day giving presentations later in the morning and afternoon, so I needed to be fully functional. The large iced coffee wasn't enough, and I've become a matcha girly over the years and wanted the (probably psychosomatic) health perks of it before stopping by the hospital. I texted my friend who lives in Geneva at like 7am (bless her) asking where I could get a matcha, and she suggested Storybook. I remember seeing their info when they opened and hearing great things about them, so I was excited to try it. It's a very cute shop and I love the premise. I loved that they were open (and had a few people already) when I got there at like 7:30 in the morning on a Friday in mid-May. It's great to see people supporting local businesses! Also, the bathroom was clean, which is always a relief in a cafe establishment. The iced matcha (plain -- no syrups or speciality add-ins) was good, but not the best matcha I've had -- definitely more on the grassy side. But man, it's expensive. It was $8.11 after tax for the smallest size (12 oz) with oat milk. And I'm used to northshore Chicago prices, which are usually way higher than the western burbs, so I was shocked by that. (For comparison, I got a 16oz iced matcha with fresh blueberry puree and oatmilk at a French pastry place in Evanston earlier this week for $6.92 after tax, and the 16oz plain oat milk iced matcha I often get from Madam Zuzu's in Highland Park is like $5.50 after tax, or maybe $6.25 for the fancy blue butterfly pea iteration). But, I guess because this is one of the only options for matcha in the area, outside of Starbucks or Dunkin, they have the market cornered and they can charge more. Personally I wouldn't order it again because it's overpriced and not the best, in my opinion. But, I'd love to try some of their coffee options. I do hope that the shop does well and downtown Geneva desperately needs more coffee/tea options, so this is a great addition to the very cute Third Street corridor. read more

This is one of my go to spots, it's definitely a location I tell my friends to try. My go to order is the lavender matcha with almond milk and vanilla cold foam. I've tried a few of the lattes, which have been pretty good. They do offer pastries! Depending on the time that you go it can be busy but there is a variety of seating. The customer service is pretty straight forward, nothing too memorable. It is very cute in there! read more

I've visited Storybook Cafe over a dozen times since they opened, and every experience has been wonderful. The team consistently provides friendly, attentive service and creates such a welcoming atmosphere. One of my favorite things about Storybook Cafe is their rotating seasonal drink menu, especially their matcha creations. The matcha is clearly high quality, and every drink I've tried has been delicious and thoughtfully crafted. I've brought several friends along on visits, and they have all enjoyed their beverages as well. Storybook Cafe has been a fantastic addition to our community. Whether you're meeting a friend, catching up with family, or simply looking for a cozy place to relax, it's a spot that always delivers. Their new outdoor summer seating is another great feature and makes it even more enjoyable to visit during the warmer months. Highly recommend! read more

Storybook is a really cute coffee shop in quaint Downtown Geneva. It's spacious inside and there are shelves full of books. Some board games, too. It was really busy when we went, which was at 2 pm on a Thursday. It took quite a while to get our drinks, but understandable considering there were only two workers. We got a cappuccino and a Tira Miss U. The cappuccino was pretty good. They did a nice job making thick milk foam. Strong coffee but not bitter. Reasonably priced at $5.25. I've gotten a cappuccino twice from Creme & Co, but it's expensive and the milk foam is embarrassingly flimsy. My wife thought the Tira Miss U was good but too sweet. She said it's definitely a dessert drink. read more

What an incredible addition to Geneva! We went during their soft-opening and found the space overall a much more aesthetic level-up to the previous cafe that owned the space. The drink menu is so unique and has a lot of interesting flavor combinations for matcha and lattes. We both got the iced tiramisu latte, and it was such a good treat! Not too sweet and just the right amount of espresso flavor. The staff were very friendly, especially the barista who took our order. Very excited to see what they do next as Storybook fully comes into its own after the soft launch!! read more

I ordered the sugar cookie matcha and it was so good! Perfectly sweet and the cup it was served in was so cute too. We ended up staying for hours doing a little diamond painting activity together while sipping our drinks and catching up.

I've seen this place all over Tik Tok and as someone who loves to read I was dying to go. The decor was super cute and there were lots of book-themed decorations. And uhmm can we just talk about how cute the book wall is!? If I had brought my friends I would've been posing in front of it for hours for photos. There were lots of comfortable seating options and it wasn't too loud which was nice. I ordered the tiramisu latte and the tomato, mozzarella, and pesto sandwich. Both items were fine, but I wasn't blown away. To be fair, this cafe has been getting a lot of attention because of their matcha which I'm unfortunately not a fan of in general. This would be the perfect place to go for a date or to catch up with an old friend! read more

Super cute place with delicious food and drinks! Workers are kind and courteous. I think this place will go far and do well! Giving 3 stars because there's definitely some work to do with food safety protocols. I caught workers using tongs to retrieve food after they had dropped the tongs on the ground. Two employees saw the tongs go down and both of them went to use them after the fact. After that, the cashier noticed the timer for my sandwich in the toaster oven hadn't been set. He pulled it out with new tongs and then felt the temperature with his bare hands (after coming straight from the register). He then licked his fingers as he proceeded to wrap up my sandwich. Overall a net-positive experience and I will be back! Hope they take food safety more serious in the future. Makes me nervous for what's happening when no one is looking. read more

The shop feels performative. The decor is cute but you can't touch the books on the shelves. I showed up thinking it was like a free little library or bookstore but that's not the case. I was excited to finally get coffee on third street again- and the added bonus of a bookstore- but it's a facade. Most of the chairs are wooden so I wouldn't be able to sit here and work for hours. It is open and light with high ceilings which is welcoming and nice. My friends and I came here and got the Matcha and the Golden Madeline. They said the drinks were good and they use compostable plastic which is awesome. The prices are very high. read more

Everything from their roasts and drinks to the decor was fantastic. My wife had an iced vanilla latte, and I ordered a flat white. The flat white was beautifully balanced with smooth chocolate and light nutty notes, without being overly dark or roasted.

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.

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 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.
