    Open space seating
    Sue M.

    Their new location is large enough to sit with your coffee and breakfast bagel and scroll your social media. Lots of season coffees (I had the Charlie McCarthy!) they breakfast bagel sandwich was large and very good! Great friendly service. Ambiance is unique with murals and the velvet robot on display. They are their own entity- not associated with the church mall next door.

    Fun decor!

    Very good cappuccino! Great service!! Very cool environment. Nicely decorated, a fairly large area with a variety of seating options, ping pong and video games. Went to my usual Coffee place on Alpine but closed for renovations. Just a little further down Alpine in the Forest City Church building (formerly Colonial Village). I highly recommend and wish them very well!

    Stopped by Almoka and ended up trying a matcha pistachio drink. I wasn't sure what to expect, but…read moreit was really good. The matcha was smooth and not too earthy, and the pistachio flavor added just the right amount of sweetness without tasting artificial. The café itself has a nice atmosphere and felt like a great place to sit and catch up with a friend or get some work done. Everything looked clean and well put together, and the staff was friendly when taking my order. I appreciate when coffee shops offer unique drinks that are different from the usual menu, and this one definitely stood out. I'll be back to try some of their other specialty drinks next time I'm in the area. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for something a little different from the big chain coffee shops.

    Pleasant environment. Would have liked to try a pastry but we're just passing thru on a long day's…read moreroad trip and too early to eat. I ordered their specialty Adeni Chai. I usually ask for a shot of dark chocolate syrup to make it a chocolate chai, so I did for this occasion. The barista made as requested, however, she did give me a heads up that their chai is unique and might not go well with chocolate. She did offer to remake it without the chocolate if I didn't like it. I do taste the difference, but was fine with it as is. If we stop in here again, I will try it without the chocolate because I want to experience the full chai flavor. Jim was going to order their Mufawar specialty coffee, but got sidetracked by the seasonal offerings. He had the salted brown butter latte instead. We both enjoyed our order and would return here again. I like their location too. Easy in and out.

They offer great selection of pastries and hot and cold beverages. From what Papa and I tried, visiting this place few days in a row, we really enjoyed food and drinks. The staff were helpful and we received our orders in timely manner. We both really enjoy the layout of this home-like atmosphere. It has a beautiful fireplace with variety of games and books you can read. It offers plenty of seating area, with large couch. Including a large Quiet Room. The Quiet Room can be reserved/rented for larger groups in advance. Otherwise you can use the Quiet Room for working, studying, reading or just to sit and enjoy peace and quiet. I recommend this place if you want to try something local instead of a chain store. I will for sure be returning here. For more great content, check out YouTube.com/@AbroadTravel

I fell in love with this mug coaster and proceeded to take a look at alllll the small business items for sale throughout the shop. There were board games and plenty seating options available. I ordered a 24 oz Iced caramel latte with oatmilk and my partner ordered a 20 oz hot caramel latte. I made a mistake and ordered pumpkin bread assuming there was a universal coffee shop pumpkin bread. I expected something with icing and I got a bread with some nuts in it flag on me for thinking what I'm used to follows me to a new area lol. All in all. The coffee is AMAZING. Superb, even. Wowowowow. Both the hot & cold lattes are phenomenal. Can't wait to visit again to try something new! To the blonde girl who took our order- Maybe take on some customer service courses and listen a bit better. To the lady who remade my coffee with oatmilk after the cashier was not comprehending correctly and gave me almond milk, thank you. You turned the experience around for me.

The vibes are your typical cute diner, and I'll continue coming here!

The first time, my friend recommended Eggslusive and the second time, Yelp did. Anyway, service is quick and friendly, and prices are about what you'd expect for brunch unless you get an expensive special (which we did not ). I loved seeing items on the menu that I don't normally see on brunch menus like halal options, naan dishes, and Mediterranean meals, all of which I was tempted to get. I ended up getting the chicken tinga skillet and substituted to get something called simit as my side instead of toast. The waitress described it as kind of a pretzel bread, which I feel was accurate. Lots of sesame seeds, and it came with jam, which was delicious! The vibe is cozy and local, and come to find out that the business owner is Turkish, which we loved to know and support. I'm also not a bacon person, but I enjoyed the bacon here because I'm not a super super crispy bacon fan. The waitress was also super sweet and provided a coffee refill in a to-go cup for my husband to enjoy in the car on our way back towards Chicago. The only thing is that one of my poached eggs came out more hard boiled than runny, but everything else was great. If I could give 4.5 stars, I would. Note: we got one of 2 parking spaces left remaining, so know that parking can be a bit tight on weekend mornings.
