Situated just off of Rt 30 / Lincoln Highway in Cresthill IL on the side of the road it's a little red house with a decent sized parking lot. Super cute and way cozy. I always notice the patio that folks sit on early mornings and decided it was time. Upon entering I had three super friendly women say hello to me. It's larger than it looks with seating inside in nice booths and really well decorated. It's also very clean and customers keep rolling in on way to work. The staff is awesome and the women I spoke to informed me that they've been there about 5 years and that all the pastures are made in house. These are not average d eryday pastries they are luxurious treats beautifully created at a reasonable price. The in house bakers need a huge shout out along with the entire staff. Their coffee is really good too, string but not at all overwhelming. Actually excellent stop. I'm sure they will be seeing more of me. You really gotta try this place and I'm sure you'll return.

Donuts are awesome but the packaging job was a zero. Ask for the box not the bag every-time! We…read moreonly bought 4 donuts - 2 sour cream & 2 Bavarian cream. The girl packed them on their side across the bottom of the bag. They were wedged in and the chocolate came off both donuts. I even made a comment how to pack and she just looked at me like I was stupid. So $4 down the drain. She could have put 2 sour cream laying flat and then the 2 Bavarian creams on top which would have saved them both. If you are going to put a tip jar on the counter then care a little bit more! We've tipped before but no more. These donuts were mucky/wet and looked unappealing which ruined the experience of eating them.

Blissful Brew is owned and operated by local female business owner, Nour. She is truly passionate…read moreabout her craft - coffee and community. It shines from every detail of her drinks, her space, to her personality and interactions with every customer. Bonus: This is the best coffee is the South Suburbs.

Truly a kind, wonderful person and it shows in the customers and her space. Please note: this space is brand new, and it's a soft opening. Lines can get long, but it's a testament to the customers and service she provides. No gate keeping here. Her old space was a counter and no seating - this is new space is such a win for her and us! Please be kind and patient when venturing in to support - you will be addicted and I'll see you in line soon!

Biggest downfall is the wait times. Even when the lines are short, waits are still long. On a busy day I waited a half an hour.

I ordered the French toast, it's been a signature of theirs for years, and it was fabulous! I had a nice discussion with the hostess about coffee, and she mentioned about other shops and other places that she had tried that that she'd liked and we had a little discussion about a place west of here in another town that I do frequent. All this, while I was waiting for mine to come up and she was a great lady. Coffee was good, service was good, there's enough space in there seating wise,,even if it gets busy in there. Place is a little off the beaten path, but you can always find a parking spot I've been coming in this area for years due to Werk Force brewing. Always wanted to try Ten drops but never got around to it. Now here's why I subtract for a half star. They have a third-party company coming in between Wednesday and Sunday to provide pastries from nine until I think whenever the pastries are gone. That's great, except I was there on a Wednesday before 9 AM and what about Monday and Tuesday?? But I can live without that. So that is why I gave five stars cause the place is that good , just disappointed about the food situation. Other than that they are a local joint . they source their coffee from multiple places including outside of USA, and that's fine there's great coffee elsewhere in the world. and I have no other complaints about them. Yes, do patronize them!

Critical Grind is certainly a great place if you like board and card games. Has crap tons to choose from including some most people have never heard about before coming here. The drinks and food aren't the main attraction but these are good mostly. Came here the first time and we just wanted to look around. It's got a counter to order at and a few tables in front. The back is where it's at as far as fun and games. A crap ton of board games are piled up basically. Has so many games back here it's hard to pick just one. The drinks and food are easier choices thankfully. It's about $5 to get a latte. There's some non dairy milk choices including oat. It's about $6 for avocado toast, of which there's a few choices. The Hummzza comes with balsamic glaze, basils, and tomatoes. Great place with lots of fun. It's located in the plaza next to the sports cards store. There's often events going on here so check the website.
