    Chai Latte, The Dennis Farina

    Love this place, it never disappoints. Has such a calm, relaxing vibe. Perfect spot for me to go when I need to study or get some work done without distraction. Not too quiet and not too loud.

    Fun place to grab a coffee. When you walk in, you're greeted by some great baristas. They have a lot of seating throughout the business. I also have a couple of board games to play if you want to chill there. They also have a movie exchange box where you can grab a movie and leave a movie for someone else. I got the wildflower latte with almond milk. It was really good and not too sweet. They also have coffee happy hour, I would suggest you ask about it!

    This place is amazing, every single experience has been a 10/10. i LOVE the wildflower matcha and their coffee is amazing. they have games to play with friends while eating and it's so fun. every seasonal menu item knocks it right out of the park, makes me wanna try every item. it's a welcoming environment, chill and nonchalant. i love being able to trade mugs!! kombucha selection is amazing.

    Bear something Iced Latte
    Samara Y.

    The Iced Latte lacked a little flavor but the Pesto Avocado Toast was incredibly flavorful. Would definitely recommend the Pesto Avocado Toast. The customer service was excellent; they bring your order to you while seated. The wait was a little long but keep in mind everything is made fresh so it's worth the wait.

    This coffee shop is hard to spot, as it's in a dinky plaza and there's only a banner sign on the inside. However, it's worth finding. Strange but funky interior. Good seating, along with a good selection of board games and books. I appreciate that the music wasn't too loud. Service was friendly enough. Good selection of drinks and toast. We ordered a cappuccino and a wildflower latte (lavender and vanilla). I would have liked a thicker layer of milk foam on the capp, but otherwise it was great. The espresso had a nice roastiness and only a little acidity. My wife enjoyed her latte. The foam was thick and flavorful. The drinks took a while to come out, but they delivered straight to our table and the drinks were served in reusable drinkware. Nice from a sustainability perspective. Pricing was very reasonable. Overall, a nice non-chain coffee shop.

    Very funky, very cool, and very hip. Me and my girls love coming to this indie alt underground cafe. The food is phenomenal and the beverages are out of this world. The music that is always playing here ties it all together. It's all so enjoyable. The service is excellent as well. 10/10 would recommend!

    The food was good but the wait was super long. It took half an hour for 1 out of the 2 sandwiches to be finished and they forgot to put the avocado we paid extra for.

    The Elvis Presley

    Came here to work for the day and the outside does not match the inside. The inside is a cozy caffe where you can get a small bite with a relaxing cup of coffee. My only down fall was it was cold inside. With us living in Chicago and it being 14 degrees today, I wanted to come somewhere warm. I ordered the something in the whey and made alterations. And it was fantastic and taste amazing. The ladies at the front greeted me and my friend well and we enjoyed ourselves minus it being cold.

    Avocado Abba-Cado Toast (gluten free toast)
    Dalia H.

    Wow, I never this place existed until a friend of mine took me here. It's a very cute little eclectic cafe. The avocado toast was so good and I love that they had gluten free toast. They even gave us two pieces since the toasts are small. Service is great, it's a small business. Definitely support your local businesses. The only thing was their coffee is a little dark for me. Next time I'll try a latte or something.

    It might be a bit of a wait if you don't order ahead, but it's totally worth it. The deliciousness of the coffee is consistent no matter when you order it. Highly recommend!

    I have been coming here for a few years and it honestly never disappoints! Whenever we plan any biking routes on this side of the neighborhood, we always make sure to stop here along the way for a quick pick me up. I have had a few of their latte's and every single one has always been delicious - one of the few places where you can tell they input special attention to all aspects of the latte - the espresso shot, the milk, the temp, and of course, the beautiful and clean latte art (id like to think having latte art makes the drink taste better). Although I usually only stick to 1 - 2 of their toasts (both of which are DELICIOUS and VERY filling), my friends have gotten other things and everything always looks delicious and fresh! My personal favorite is the toast with the peanut butter, honey, almonds (i think its the elvis?). Not sure where they get their baked goods, including the bread used for the toast, but that is also delicious and its very apparent they go out out of their way to get some great toast and donuts. Next time you guys are about to take a hike or bike ride around, be sure to check this place out!

    Bluebarry Hill and Banana Rama smoothie bowl
    Steve N.

    Checked to see what other yelpers where saying about this coffeehouse , and its true that the food and coffee are top notch . The outside is a nondescript facade that made me think I was at the wrong place . The inside is spacious and boring . Those metal chairs don't have that comfortable relax and enjoy yourself feel to me . There is a group of four leather lounge chairs that redeem the experience of relaxation . Had two smoothie bowls that where unique and flavorful . The Bluebarry Hill has a hint of lavender oil and the Banana Rama has a boost of cocoa powder that makes both bowls pop . Looking forward to another visit and ordering some loaded toast . This is a must try , cut above coffee shop .

    Emily was amazing! I didn't have any food but my drinks were amazing! I went on a Wednesday buy one…read moreget one free what a deal. The place was so cute and clean I will definitely be back. The manager was there and was very involved. Marium was so fast in helping make drinks. The coffee is strong for sure I git the butter bear latte iced on this 90 degree day and a Chai turmeric tea. I could have had it sweeter due to how strong it was. I'll be drinking my tea tomorrow!

    This place rocks! After I moved from Michigan to Illinois I thought I would only get Biggby when I…read morecame home. I was excited after I was referred to 103/Harlem but you can't sit at the gas station. I discovered this location accidentally while taking the scenic route to Orland Park. First it'scozy and every time I visit I get greeted by a young lady that I believe is the assistant mgr or mgr. I can't remember her name but it's like the cheers of coffee shops. Every time she makes her recommendation it is stellar. I love the lemon cake bites and she said I would. I have concerns about trying a beverage, but the young man working the register that day was beyond helpful. The beverage was actually quite delicious. I go out of my way to drive here as I want to support the business. You definitely won't be disappointed if you are a coffee lover. I don't drink the coffee often but everyone that I refer to Biggby and is a coffee lover is a regular customer now! Head over there at your first available opportunity! They even have a drive-through.
