    Blueberry cheesecake
    Nai N.

    Whenever I'm craving a sweet treat, Sweet Reserve is one of the first places that comes to mind! Their cheesecakes are my favorite. I recently tried the blueberry cheesecake for the first time and absolutely loved it. I'm also hoping they bring back the mango cheesecake this summer because it was my favorite. Whenever I'm in the mood for something warm and comforting, I always order the Kashmiri chai. On top of the delicious desserts and drinks, the employees are always welcoming and greet you as soon as you walk in. It is always clean!

    First time visiting Sweet Reserve Cafe. It's located right near to the Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage hospital. The food was good and I like the unique items they offer, like the chicken tikka bread. The lattes were okay. I got an iced pistachio latte, and it seems like the pistachio syrup they use has bits of pistachio in it. My boyfriend did not ask for iced but they made his iced. Even though he wanted hot, he drank about half of it anyway. I thought the baklava tart had a little bit of a freezer/stale fridge taste. My boyfriend liked it, though. I'd be willing to come back to try their other items because they had a huge selection of desserts, including ones I've never seen elsewhere. The cafe is pretty big with plenty of seating too.

    I went here during their grand opening and really enjoyed everything!! I went back recently and have to say, such a disappointment. I got the tiramisu, Dubai brownie, and the white chocolate raspberry cake and nothing tasted fresh like the first time. They barely put any filling for the Dubai brownie which was sad on top of it just not tasting fresh. I may try it one more time before I completely stop going, but I'm really not sure. This was a really bad experience. I hope they do fix it, but if not, I don't see how this location will last.

    OKAY.. LOOOOOVE! I've previously been to Sweet Reserve in Schaumburg and was disappointed. The Winfield location is completely different. I loved everything about my time here and plan to be frequent. Like other locations - The space has natural lighting throughout and is designed beautifully. This location is spacious and has indoor seating for ~50 guests. I was here on a weekend morning and by 10am it was PACKED. I'm really glad I came in before the crowd. Service was great and the staff members were friendly with bright smiles. After my friend and I ordered at the front counter we were given a number to bring to our table. Our items were brought over to us when they were ready. I ordered a matcha latte with almond milk and the chive, roasted tomato & goat cheese quiche. The latte is NOT your typical starbucks matcha latte. It is not sweet which instantly told me the matcha they use is of premium quality. If you are looking for it to be sweet, they do have sugar and syrups to add. The quiche was DIVINE, all the ingredients go well together. It was served hot and had the perfect texture. This location was the perfect spot for our gal pal date and I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more of their menu.

    Sweet Reserve Café & Bakery - Winfield This was the second Sweet Reserve location I've visited, and it's cool to see they've grown into a small chain with four cafés now. The space in Winfield is bright, clean, and spacious definitely a nice spot to sit and relax. I ordered a Cortado, which was very good, along with a chicken croissant sandwich that was packed full and surprisingly satisfying. For dessert, I tried the pumpkin cheesecake, and it honestly blew me away full of flavor and really well-made. It still feels a little strange that they don't offer drip coffee, which seems like a staple for any café. Also, I think adding some background music would help give the place a bit more warmth and energy. The staff working today were very kind and friendly, and overall it was a great experience. My total came to about $21, which felt fair for the quality. 4 out of 5 stars solid café with delicious food and drinks, just could use a little more ambiance.

    What a great addition to the Downton Winfield area!! The inside is beautifully designed to match their other locations. I was surprised to see Sweet Reserve was located in the NW Medicine building but parking was no issue. The staff member was great about making latte recommendations since they offer quite a few syrup flavors. I landed on the lavender cardamom latte (hot). The drink was ready within a few minutes and served in a cozy mug with milk art. What a great touch! I enjoyed the flavor a lot but the latte was rather milky. I would have loved a stronger coffee punch but just my personal preference! I did enjoy the atmosphere to catching up with friends but would love to see more "breakfast" style food items be offered. Overall, a great spot in Winfield to enjoy coffee or tea!

    Kayak chai

    We have now visited Sweet Reserve a few times since it's soft opening and waited to give this review to ensure we had a few experiences to pull from. Service... The employees are always friendly and helpful. We received our drinks and food promptly and fresh/hot. It was also served to us at the table, which is not common at most coffee shops. Our chatty 3.5 year old also kept up a constant stream of conversation which they engaged in, to his delight. Food... l ordered the chicken tikka pastry, which was delicious. It was flavorful with a hit of spice and perfectly flakey. I'm not sure if these are made and then baked fresh or reheated but it certainly tasted freshly baked! My wife ordered the Turkish bread that came with a nice balsamic drizzle on top which was a game changer. Both items were quite filling along with our drinks. Our son ordered the M&M cookie. It was a little harder than usual today but when asked his feedback on it, he said "mmm...yummy in my tummy" so I think it passed the test! Drinks... I ordered the chai which was excellent. My only alteration would be to see if they could adjust the sweetness. My wife ordered the iced caramel latte which was beautifully crafted and made strong/less sweet (exactly how she likes it). There have been a few reviews me ruining the pricing, but not only is Sweet Reserve's pricing on par with most coffee shops, but their portions and flavors are top notch and worth the price. For $35, we got two drinks, two lunch items and a cookie. It's not necessarily cheap, but fair price and quality food/drinks. Overall, we love Sweet Reserve. After dropping Starbucks and its mediocre coffee, this has become go-to coffee shop for the food, the drinks and the vibe. The interior is beautifully designed and parking js never an issue. We definitely recommend this to all.

    I need to update the review, as Tutto Dolce now serves savory (dinner-type) Italian food as well as…read moreall the desserts I love, since their restaurant next door has closed. So the space here is mostly taken up with pizza boxes and a long food service table, with a narrowish aisle to order your food / desserts. They have meatballs; various pizza slices and whole pizzas (unlike the new place next door, they'll serve you slices all day); lasagna and manicotti. There are other things but I'm a vegetarian so I zone out the minute I see "sausage." Vegetarian? They default to a marinara red sauce and vegetable is one of the default slices. I didn't see eggplant parmesan on the menu, but they told me if I ask for it (advance notice would be helpful) they'll make it. Entrees are served hot. The manicotti and lasagna are delicious; the manicotti is not a big pan but a take-out container with two manicotti rolls; will feed one hungry person but wouldn't be enough for two people. Service is still friendly although the space is now a little cramped. The cake and gelato, etc. are still delicious, so I stand by everything I said about dessert in my earlier review.

    Blackberry Market is one of my favorite lunch spots. It's also a great place to grab a coffee and…read moredo some work. They have a decently sized seating area, and in the warmer months, there's a patio to sit outside. It can get a bit loud inside during the weekends and peak hours, so not ideal if you prefer quieter environments to do work. I absolutely love their brownies, especially their blackberry brownie, but they were out the day I went so I got the red velvet cupcake instead and it was perfectly moist and soft. You truly can't go wrong with any of their bakery items. I also got the pesto pasta salad, which I highly recommend.

They have a great selection on their…read moremenu for both breakfast and lunch, and they also have ready-to-go items in a refrigerated case. I had the pick two, which was a half a sandwich (grilled cheese) with a half salad (kale Caesar). The salad was so good! Fresh, crisp and lightly dressed. However, the grilled cheese was pretty sad. I opened it up and there was hardly any cheese. It was just like eating two pieces of grilled bread. They need to improve on that for sure. I also had their 12oz wildflower latte which was very tasty, but served lukewarm and not hot. If the milk is not steamed, it will bring down the temperature of the coffee. I like my specialty coffees served hot. I do have to say every staff member we came in contact with was friendly. They seemed happy and were there to help and answer questions. You place your order at the counter, and you receive a number which you display at your table. There are two dining areas with tables and a few booths to dine at next to where you place your order. Members of the staff bring your order to the table. We didn't have to wait long for our drinks and food. Even with the sad grilled cheese sandwich which was disappointing and the lukewarm latte, I would definitely go back to Blackberry Market again to try other items on their menu. I'll pass on the grilled cheese, though.
