Tried their cold brew - the coffee was decent and had that flavour profile I really like. Also got a few other drinks for my family but didn't get to try them myself (they seemed to enjoy it). The price is also decent compared to a lot of coffee shops these days, everything felt like a great value without sacrificing quality. Staff was really friendly and the overall vibe was comfortable. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area. I would try their other drinks as well if I ever come by here again.

The service was very kind and prompt, and it was clear that the staff cared about our whole experience. Came here while visiting my sister, and she claimed this is their favorite local spot for both breakfast AND lunch/dinner! It certainly did not disappoint. They had about 5 specialty coffee drinks on the menu (all holiday themed). We got two (one peppermint and one gingerbread), and they were presented beautifully. For food we got a few breakfast sandwiches, European pancakes, a banana peanut butter toast, and some sides of bacon. All of it was VERY good and nearly all of it (including their bread) was scratch made. My favorite item was their croissant sandwich... if the croissants were homemade this place would easily have been a 5. All accounted for, I cannot wait to return for dinner. Thank you!

Rolled into Chatterbox Café in Kankakee because I saw a review talking about pastrami pancakes…read more Now, I'm always down for the weird-but-good food combos... except, plot twist--that review was for the wrong place. No pastrami pancakes here. Bummer. That said, breakfast was basic but good--eggs, bacon, coffee, the classics. Sometimes that's all you really need. The vibe is super local, definitely one of those "everybody knows your name" joints. Felt like I should've walked in wearing a nametag that said "Norm." points because my waitress was a Styx fan--nothing like sipping coffee while talking Come Sail Away. Rock and eggs? Solid combo. tip: you can't add your tip later on the receipt, gotta do it when you ring out. I just left a cash tip--felt right anyway. Kept it homie.Overall? Cozy, friendly, no-frills, and exactly the kind of place you want when you're eating with the locals.

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.

Somehow, Someway, they make simple items like scrambled eggs and (buttery) hash browns taste better than the other guys. For the hungry man, I recommend the butcher's omelet or the meat lover's skillet. Deservedly so, this joint is usually busy, but the tableside atmosphere is relaxed. Food is delivered promptly, and your coffee cup will be refilled. The service is outstanding and competent. One reason is that many employees have worked there for over 10 years, and many for over 15. I am now a regular and visit once or twice a week. P.S. Their homemade potato chips are cooked per order and delivered warm to your table!
