I wanted to write a review because I worked here for about a month before being suddenly fired…read more The owner is nice, but her husband, who manages everything, created a very uncomfortable work environment. He frequently brought up politics, demographics, and "statistics" at work in ways that felt inappropriate and often came across as biased. It wasn't the kind of environment I expected from a workplace. I personally chose not to engage with these conversations because I was there to work, and I try to keep my personal beliefs separate from my workplace. However, being repeatedly exposed to these types of comments from management made the environment feel unprofessional. I also noticed that he would tell us certain employees had quit, but after speaking with those employees, I learned that was not always what happened. This made me feel like there was a lack of honesty and transparency in how situations were handled. One comment that really stuck with me was when he told me and another young female employee that we'd be prettier if we spoke more intelligently and that men would like us more. We are both very young girls, and that comment was incredibly inappropriate and made us uncomfortable. I was also told that if I came in early every day, I would receive a $1 raise. I did exactly that, and I received the raise on my final paycheck. Just a few days later, I was fired. It was confusing to be recognized with a raise and then immediately let go without being given a meaningful explanation. I was told I was being fired because I supposedly had an attitude with a customer. When I asked what had happened, I wasn't given a clear explanation and was simply told they had decided not to continue my employment. I work hard, take my jobs seriously, and I rarely leave negative reviews because I know everyone is trying their best. I didn't contact them afterward because I felt I had already been treated disrespectfully. After the way I was spoken to and the lack of honest communication, I didn't feel another conversation would have changed anything. As a customer, I also found the food to be average, especially for the price. Before I even worked here, my mom and I had cheesecake from the café on a few different occasions, and every time it had a noticeable freezer-burn taste. For the prices they charge, I expected much better quality. Based on my experience as both an employee and a customer, I would encourage people to support another family-owned café instead.

For a little coffee shop this place exceeded my expectations. Me and my wife recently came here…read moreafter visiting the pumpkin patch nearby and we need a place to sit down and visit. This is a 2 in 1 store. It's a coffee store and it's also a little boutique shop next door as well. The coffee shop feels like you're in a upscale Lounge. There is free Wi-Fi upon purchase. This place is very quiet and peaceful at the same time. The drinks here are very affordable. I absolutely love the fall specialty flavors that they have here. This place was incredibly amazing. They have some food here as well that I unfortunately did not have time to try. Overall, I highly recommend checking this place out.

We've been to the Bridgeview location a few…read moretimes, which is really nice, but that location is small and cramped (unless they expanded recently). This location is much bigger inside and there is more natural lighting. It was packed when we went and pretty loud. Getting into and out of this parking lot is a pain, though. They have all of their classic nuts, candies, and other al-Hamawi goodies. The drink menu seems bigger than the Bridgeview location. They also have more baked desserts at this location. We ordered a cappuccino, a hot caramel macchiato, and a sugar cookie for my son. The cappuccino was excellent and they did a good job foaming the milk. The foam was also great on the macchiato, and my wife seemed to enjoy that drink. The sugar cookie looked amazing, but was very hard and seemed overpriced at $6.95. The drinks were reasonably priced. Service was decent. Please note that they have a lot of taxes: state tax, county tax, city tax, and a "special" tax.
