Arcedium Coffeehouse

Comfortable coffee shop with light snacks available. Here on a Monday mid-morning and it's packed. Even so, service was speedy and noise level was tolerable.

I had a Diet Coke (not a coffee drinker) and double chocolate muffin for $7.50. The muffin was a little dry, but that's probably a matter of taste. It was a generous serving in terms of size. Diet Coke from the open "cooler" was room temperature.

Nice variety on seating, including a bar with multiple seats, tables with regular seats, tables with higher seats, and comfortable chairs in a lounge area near restrooms. They also have a small room that can be reserved for private events. Today there was a group playing cards!

Happy to support this locally owned small business.

Was biking in Fox River trail. Got into St Charles and decided to find a coffeehouse.

Never been.

Friendly and polite good service at reasonable price.

Felt safe with bikes outside.

Nice tasting coffee drinks.

Will stop again and would recommend to others.

I recently visited Arcedium Coffeehouse and was disappointed with my experience. The coffee itself was average - it was not particularly flavorful. I tried Baklava latte and it was just full of honey. The staff also seemed to be in a rush. The atmosphere was good but the prices were very high for the quality of the coffee and service received.

Loved the service, atmosphere, and of course coffee. Espresso and lemon bar were both good. Paid just over $8 altogether. Vibe is nice.

Nice place for any kind of coffee, the taste is good and stuff all time friendly. In total I can’t recommend the coffeeshop.
When I have to pay a high price (more then 7$) for a cappuccino with oat milk and want to drink inside I expect a mug and not a cheap paper cup.

I absolutely love this place. I've been coming here for a very long time and I have always gotten great food/coffee and service. Their ham and cheese panini is FANTASTIC!!!

Good hot coffee but prices are above average due to drip over method that is time consuming versus ready made. Not sure if this is mentioned. Still the prices should be listed, right? I’ve been here around five times and each time has given me an off vibe. Not the friendly local cafe you want to hang out. Just cannot pinpoint so take this as is. The seating options are above average and the counter reminds me of the east coast diners I enjoy.

A nice independent coffee place in the heart of downtown. When people picture having a cute business district this is the exact type of place they have in mind. Great coffee, nice decor, and a cozy yet lively atmosphere to enjoy a conversation or just take in the sights.

We loved our first time here that we came back a second week but the drinks were subpar. When I called, the person just said their drinks weren’t Starbucks sweet but I still don’t get how we can notice a distinct sweetness difference. I feel like I’m just drinking hot almond milk compared to last week where the drinks were magical. It’s a bit of a drive for us so we might not risk a third visit at this point.

I also tried the baklava latte and the flavor was nothing special. I understand why the prices aren't listed either...$7-$8 for a small, mediocre latte. I go to a different café in the city and am "only" charged $6, syrups and plant milk alternative included. The extra charge at Arcedium isn't worth it based on the average quality.

The staff were nice, but the service also didn't stand out enough to off-set the taste and price of the coffee (the bigger reason people go to cafés).

I don't think I'll return, but it was nice to try something different. Worth checking out if you don't mind the price, as they have many latte flavors to choose from on their menu. It's located nicely in a quaint spot near the river.
