She goes there a lot and really likes the place…read more Not overly crowded, nicely decorated, variety of people, some doing computer work, typical type coffeehouse stuff. Had the Mofowar. Tasty, seem like it had a little bit of chocolate on the bottom. I liked it. She had a cappuccino, that that's her usual she enjoyed it very much. We split a piece of Dubai chocolate cake on a recommendation of our barista. It was excellent!!! His service was phenomenal! Pleasant, but not over the top. Kind, yet chill. I didn't catch his name but basically he was a good dude ! This is a nice place to go have a coffee and a little snack with friends. Recommended!

Some of my favorites are the chorizo breakfast wrap, the roast beef panini, and their signature Italian wedding soup. My wife and I usually add a side trio to get some greens in as well, which is always a great complement to our meal. Service is straightforward. You order up at the counter, grab your number, and find a seat. Just a note that it can get busy on weekends and during peak lunch hours, so plan accordingly. In addition, they also have a full coffee bar if you're in the mood for an espresso or specialty drink. Solid lunch spot that we keep coming back to. I'm a fan. 'Til next time, cheers!

We've have these machines and have had them for a while but no one knows how to use them" . "All we have is regular coffee". While I don't blame anyone for not having a fancy coffee area, when your looking for coffee and the map says the closet is "Ellie's Coffee", it was very disappointing to not have what you thought, by the name, any other coffee but "black". All I'm saying is the Name of the place is deceiving cus it's not a coffee bar but rather, just a bar.

Last month while roaming around oak brook, I was looking for a cafe and saw this online…read more From outside it looks an average cafe but interiors are really good. This place has recently opened and the lady at the bar made sure that good care of everyone was taken. She did a nice explanation on stuff she has and gave a lot of options in beverages to choose from. This place is open till midnight and has slots to enjoy over a cup of coffee or a beer and well coffee is free if you opt for slots. So surely worth to try over the weekend with friends.

I come here at least once a week!…read more I'm obsessed with how cute the place is and their amazing biscoff chai latte! I don't remember her game but the barista is always so sweet to me and she always makes my drink perfectly even when I ask her to make a cold foam she's never made before! I do feel is a little pricey when it comes to the bakery and sweet items but they are very tasty so when I have a great day I reward myself with one of their cake jars or mini cheesecakes and those are also amazing!

I went to this location because I didn't like the selection at the Winfield location. It looked…read morelike yesterday's product that didn't sell, and I got there right when they opened. But, I am reviewing the Lombard location. The selection was good and fresh, although some of their items are a bit pricey. I ordered cake pops, brownies, and a chocolate chip cookie. The sales person was pleasant and quick. This store is their biggest store, and they feed the Winfield and Schaumburg stores. They make their pastries at this location, so you'll probably get the freshest selection at the Lombard location. I had bought a gift card from Costco for Sweet Reserve. I admit if I hadn't bought it, and received a discount at Costco for it, I probably would not have noticed the store. It's in a small strip mall on Roosevelt road which has hundreds of strip malls off the road. The store itself is clean and well kept. It does have a limited selection of products but they were all pretty good. The brownies are very frudgey, just the way I like them. The cake pops are sweet, but a little dry. The cookie has a lot of chips in them. Overall, I liked the place.

A gathering of ex-coworkers always means two things: great belly laughs and constant tea flowing…read more Pair that with good food and ACTUAL good tea, and you've got one for the books! We tried several things from this cafe, and everything was phenomenal, but there was one thing that was beyond all the stars, but here's a breakdown of it all: Potato Savory - so basically if you're looking for chaat, this is it. They call it savory, we call it chaat, but in either case, you can tell this isn't something pre-made and slapped into a bowl. The veggies were crunchy, not soggy. The chutney was sharp, but not overwhelming. And all the condiments and veggies and chickpeas together made a cohesive dish, well balanced. Definitely recommend. 8.5/10 Chicken Club Sandwich - this sandwich is....a LOT. In a good way! The pulled chicken is seasoned well. It's massive and there is a lot of flavor in each bite. This gives Chai Ho Jai (Naperville) a definite run for its money. 9/10 Filli Chicken Seasoned Flatbread - we tried this one second, and my God, it's a definite 10 out of 10! 10/10. Dynatime Chicken Flatbread - okay, so we tried this flatbread first, and I thought it was a 10/10, but then I tried the other flatbread and realized this was a definite 11/10! Lacha Melt Chicken - this was great, very akin to a quesadilla with a paratha. Unique concept, yes, but not my favorite thing here. And yet, well seasoned and delicious. 8/10! Pistachio Latte (Iced) - this was a stand out. This latte was SO delicious, I got one - everyone took a sip, and then we ordered more! Sooooo goooooooood!!!! 10/10! Now let's get to the STAR OF THE SHOW: The FRIES - the fries that came with all the entrees were hot, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The perfect specimen for a fry. Add to that the lovely spice powder sprinkled on top of them - they are delicious, melt in your mouth, and in addition to being the perfect accompaniment to the food, they're absolutely great all on their own! 100/10! Definitely recommend this place - the ambience and the service are both absolutely great. As long as the taste of the food remains consistent and this place remains clean and hospitable, this is going to be one of the top notch places in the area. Don't overcrowd the menu, either, it's perfect as it is!

Came to the Filli Cafe today with my family -…read more The cafe has a nice open ambiance which can seat a decent amount of seating. The tv also had some random first person view of walking in a third world country which was strange - come bro play some Shah Rukh Khan music at least! The customer service is fast and friendly. We ordered the following items: - Masala Paneer Flat Bread - Chicken Dynamite Flat Bread - Paapdi Chaat - Chicken Shawarma Bowl - Butter Chicken Bowl - Chicken Dynamite Sandwich - Masala Fries - Zafrani Chai Honestly the taste wasn't there for me the fusion of Chaat with pizza and burger is not it. Overall mid experience :/

I also got the Vanilla Coconut latte, which basically tasted like a coconut latte, so if you love coconut it would be your jam. Service was fine, the folks working there were pleasant. It has lots of bright natural lighting, and plenty of seating, but I do wish the chairs were more comfortable. This isn't a place I would bring a laptop to set up shop and work for a few hours, personally, but others may feel differently. Parking lot had plenty of space as well, which was great. If I'm in the area again I would go back.

The Lombard location is floor to ceiling windows throughout, letting in natural light. This location is very spacious and has plenty of seating (indoor and outdoor). It is not cramped at all. There are several places for great photo ops too. Service throughout was great. The staff member that assisted me was very helpful and friendly. He may have been the only person there and he was able to keep up with the constant influx of customers. I got a hot Yemeni chai as my drink and it was creamy, bold, and flavorful. MOTW's chai is my favorite when compared to other Yemeni shops. It is sooooo good!! For food I got a samosa empanada which was very tasty. I appreciate that they warmed it up for me too. There is an up charge for sauce, which I did get. The spicy aioli paired very well with the samosa empanada. I believe the empanadas are from savory crust.

I hear their brunch is also amazing as well.

Not the experience I was expecting. I had high hopes and unfortunately everything fell short. The…read morehost was not accommodating at all. I requested our group to be placed in a corner since we were dining in with 2 kids and an infant who would be sitting in a stroller. She had said they were fully booked and a different party needed the table I was eyeing since they would be coming in with 3 strollers. I was there from 9am-11am on a Friday and it was not packed nor did a family use the table I wanted while I was there. No one came in with 3 strollers either. Aside from that, I was trying to be helpful so the stroller wouldn't get in the way of customers and wait staff. The host basically made it harder for them, not me. I started with the hazelnut oat mocha and this was delicious. This was the highlight of my time there. For food I tried the Shakshouka and it was not good. The pouched eggs were not cooked. From my pictures - it looks like the eggs were cracked in the dish and the chef called it a day. I didn't chance eating it, I ate the pita it came with and left very hungry. I'm giving Beatrix a generous 2 due to the space being beautiful and my latte being great. Unfortunately this is not a spot I'll be returning to.

Staff was really friendly too, didn't feel rushed or anything. I ordered the hot chocolate and... wow. First thing, the size. I've never seen a cup that big at a coffee shop. Pretty sure it healed my soul right away. Taste wise, super smooth. Nice and hot. Had light cinnamon notes that show up after a sip. Not overly sweet either, which I liked. Creamy texture, almost like melted chocolate but lighter. They even did latte art on top and served it in this artisan cup. Looked way too nice for something I was about to destroy in five minutes. Came for chocolate, left spiritually repaired. Honestly might come back next time my soul needs maintenance.

Probably the slowest I've had at a coffee shop. It took over an hour for my latte to be ready. The pastries then took an additional 20 minutes after that. They also got my friend's pastry order wrong so she had to wait even longer. Additionally it was extremely hot inside the cafe. Most people were complaining about how toasty it was. I did feel the AC kick in maybe 5 mins prior to leaving. I tried a seasonal drink - Ube latte. I didn't taste the Ube at all, + I didn't taste any type of the espresso. It just tasted like milk. For the pastries I tried the guava pastry and a cheese empanada. Both were bland and underwhelming. CFS is pricey - the quality, service, and atmosphere did not live up to how expensive it is.
