I go to this coffee shop almost every day before work and I’m OBSESSED. I wish I could try all the delicious drinks in one day lol but please check them out they’re amazing! Especially their Christmas drinks they have right now! And the barista are always so sweet and always make my coffee so yummy!( the pistachio donut latte is one of my favs)

Posting this because I specifically don't see any reviews going over the FOOD. Don't know if it's because they added it recently, or if people just don't get it. Either way, it's very good! This spot is located within the train station lobby for the Des Plaines Metro line. The actual shop is cozy with a cute and quaint design, but the lobby can get very busy, noisy and rowdy. Not the greatest location unfortunately, and not a lot of room to sit. Not their fault, just pointing it out. You HAVE to take this to go. Their breakfast menu is solid, my favorite is The Meg. The hot honey is NOT hot, but adds a very nice sweet flavor. Not too overpowering for me! Their lunch menu really shines. The Korean Chicken Cheesesteak is fantastic, and The Chos is incredible. All food I've tried here I would give a 5/5 besides their hash browns. Fell apart and not super crispy. Flavor was good, just not outstanding, so 3/5 for that. The drink selection is vast, I've only tried 3. The Bikini Bottom and Mango Mojito were two of them, 5/5 and 4/5 respectively. Mango Mojito could've used a bit more mango flavor, but besides that very tasty! Bikini Bottom was fantastic, very sweet but expected from a drink with strawberry in it. Both gave me some jitters from the caffeine, but not any more than a coffee. Got both in Large. Final drink I tried was their Thai Milk Tea Boba. Fantastic drink, 5/5 and definitely better than some other boba places I have been. Tasted close to the Thai Milk Tea I've gotten in the city, so that's a raving review. The place is a bit pricey, but their food and drinks are quality and filling. I'd recommend it if you're close, it's convenient and you want something to fill you up. Great local place and hoping more people try the food as I can't even find pics of the food menu online!

Excellent drinks, food, and service. I love that they will put the drinks in a personal cup to cut down on waste. Good prices too! Today I noticed that the menu now includes breakfast and lunch sandwiches, very exciting! I tried the egg and cheese sandwich and it was delicious

The Des Plaines train station is not my usual stop, but I'm glad I ended up there to try out this coffee shop! I had the Spicy Roasted Veggies Sandwich and a coffee, and I have to say that the sandwich might be one of the best veggie sandwiches I've had during my time as a vegetarian! It was definitely a nice surprise to find out that this little coffee shop serves up excellent food as well!

Been to this place a couple of times and had an amazing experience with the baristas Timon and Pumbaa! Jumba and Pleakly are also masters of their craft at coffee art! In my opinion, the coffee is only good with those guys at the helm! You can also enjoy a sideshow of the local vagrants competing for dominance! The one and only place for coffee in Des Plaines!

Been here a couple of times and everything is always so good. The croffles are such a nice little treat! Definitely one of the best spots in Des Plaines!

Can't say enough great things about this place! Tried them on my almost week long trip to Chicago to visit my girlfriend's family and I loved their coffee so much I went every day. All the drinks had the perfect amount of flavor, sweetness, and punch from the coffee. They were very balanced. I was so impressed I tried a different drink each day to see if maybe they had one really good flavor and the others didn't hold up, but I was pleasantly proved wrong. I even enjoyed the breakfast sandwich and 'Croffle' which was basically a Croissant pressed in a waffle maker with a choice of various signature flavors and toppings. If I lived in the area, they would be a go to spot for me and I will certainly recommend them to anyone as well as patron them again next time I'm in the area. The following are ratings and notes of my preferences: Beverages 10/10 Ube Latte - great ube flavor and perfect punch of coffee. My personal favorite beverage I had. Got it the first and last day of my visit 9/10 The Mitski - Perfectly subtly Lavender flavor with a well-balanced Chai flavor and perfect punch of espresso 8.7/10 - 93' Bronco - Sounds weird, Orange Juice topped with Espresso, but it really works people. Great citrus notes, the right sweetness from the juice and potency of the espresso. A smidge bitter from the citrus and espresso, but a suprisingly stellar beverage overall! 8.5/10 Chocolate Churro Latte- Great chocolate flavor, nice cinnamon notes, and perfect punch of espresso as always. I didn't get the churro feel I expected and the spiced bit of the chocolate I'm not sure my palate recognized, but overall fantastic drink 8/10 Honeymilk - Wonderful Honey flavor, great cinnamon notes and without fail the right potency of espresso. This one I found was my least favorite just because it took longer for me to enjoy fully due to the sweetness of the Honey. Food 9.5/10 - Croffle I think was like a maple and nut one great flaky and buttery Croissant paired with a light crispiness from the prep in the waffle press. We'll balanced nutty and maple tones. Wonderful snack/breakfast bite on the go. 7- The Meg not the biggest fan of sausage or sweetness when eating savory breakfast, but overall the hot honey drizzle on the bun and sandwich worked. Least favorite menu item of the trip but still good. Overall, I'd say this place is special, one of those that gives core memories of a time and place where you were and what you were doing for years to come. I'd order anything I tried again and would recommend them to anyone. I will absolutely return next time I visit the area.

Great little coffee shop inside the Metra station downtown Des Plaines. I don’t take the Metra I just wanted to try their coffee. It was easy to park and walk in. Ordered an iced latte with oat milk and vanilla, staff was very nice and quick service, delicious coffee, will be going back! And it was not pricey at all for a large iced coffee!
