Food had flavor and service was great. The restaurant was a bit packed but the wait wasn't long. I will definitely come back to try the little small donut holes. I think the coffee does need to be better and bolder, regular coffee tasted like McDonald's coffee. Overall I had a good experience here and I was full. Price is good for the amount of food served. I will definitely come back and recommend trying this restaurant.

We had some dietary restrictions at our table, so there were some special orders, and she absolutely nailed every single one of them. As soon as you had three sips from your coffee cup, she was there to offer you a refill. The table maintenance was impeccable. So many restaurants nowadays miss the mark on this. She was expedient, ultra friendly, without making you feel rushed. The food was cooked perfectly and for breakfast food, very delicious. I say that because I can't tell you how many breakfast restaurants screw up the very basic foods that compromise the simplest meal of the day, in my opinion. Yet, there are so many places that just don't get it right. Kup A Joe definitely is not one of those places. The portions were massive, and well worth the money! If you were looking for a place to go to have a nice sit down breakfast, this is your spot! Well done!

I was still slightly full from lunch, so I had a few bites of the cupcake and took the rest home. This place feels like coffeehouses from decades long gone, well before Starbucks changed the coffee landscape. There are plenty of chairs and seats for comfortable seating. And it may be that I arrived when there was no crowd because service was spot on. Although I took advantage of the good weather to sit outside, I will come here when I want coffee and a relaxed atmosphere without any rush.

No warm fuzzies were felt as I entered into the restaurant. $5 for a small cranberry juice. Wow. I'll make sure to go to the grocery store 1st next time. Corn beef hash comes hot, but it's out from a can for sure. Asked for 2 orders of crispy bacon. I've had better. It's a little flimsy but they give your 4 slices per order to compensate. Can't complain about that. Asked for buttered toast. They obliged. A lot of restaurants don't do it. The star of the show: the hash browns. The best in the south suburbs. Real potatoes fried just right. Hot and and delicious even after a 15 minute trip. Could use some seasoning, but...whatever. Maybe I'll share that with them when I return, because I will return for those hash browns!

The place itself looks cool, with a stylish black and white aesthetic and a great logo (we loved the skull sipping from the cup). The space is large, though the tables are quite small, but that didn't bother us. What really brought our rating down to one star was the quality and service. We ordered an Americano, a latte, and a chocolate croissant. The shop was nearly empty, and most of the people there were already seated and drinking, so we expected a quick turnaround. Still, we patiently waited around 15 minutes. We're not even upset about the wait -- it happens -- but when we got our order, the croissant wasn't even warm (which should be the minimum at any coffee shop). Even worse was the coffee: flavorless, barely warm, and closer to bland flavored water than anything resembling a proper brew. We came in with good expectations but left dissatisfied and disappointed. Definitely not the experience we were hoping for.

My sister suggested Blackberry Market in Glen Ellyn for lunch. 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.

This is nestled inside of a hotel and it's not immediately clear in the lobby, but luckily they have a person greeting you upon entry. The hostess is in the middle and seating is in a beautiful atrium. We sat next to a fountain at a small table. 5/5 shrimp cocktail. The shrimp or colossal, lol! The cocktail sauce and the tartar/aïoli sauce was amazing, and the shrimp was perfectly cooked. 5/5 crispy, artichoke with an aïoli sauce. Beautifully presented, perfectly crispy. The aïoli was so delicious. I kept it for the rest of my meal as it being sauce. 4/5 American breakfast with egg whites. Egg whites were slightly runny, but good portion. The bacon was crispy and slightly sweet. Super yummy. Crispy potatoes were like a deep fried large country potato. Good with the aïoli, but I didn't eat too much. 4/5 petite potato, American style. These are truly petite. I wanna say it was $14-$20 but I expected a little bit more. 5/5 chocolate chip cookie for my Bestie's birthday. Best cookie she's ever had. Delicious, warm, chewy. 5/5 butterscotch crème brûlée. First time I've ever had a butterscotch version. The custard was delicious, and the Brulé topping was not too thick. Annihilated the whole thing. The atrium was beautiful. I wish there was a little bit more space for us to take photos, but the hotel itself beautiful. Our service was great. I wish I could remember our servers name but it was a young man with glasses & he was fabulous.
