Convenient parking at the train station. They have a sign that tells you to let them know if you have a time constraint (because you’re waiting for the train) so they can accommodate you as best they can. They know their menu! Our party has allergies to consider, and so the guy was helpful in making drink choices. Because they hadn’t tried the el vien rose and white mocha drink, they couldn’t tell me offhand how sweet it was. But! they offered to adjust the sweetness for me. I ordered 1/4 sweetness, and it was great! We ordered the ube latte, chocolate churro latte, java chip frappuccino, and el vien….and the croffles. UBE! The drinks and croissant waffles were fantastic. Couldn’t figure out how to make myself thirsty enough to order milk tea, too, so didn’t get to order that. There were several boba and jelly choices!
This place is awesome—a coffee and tea connoisseur’s dream! I had “the Mitski,” a latte with lavender and vanilla chai flavors. I didn’t know how those would work together, but the result is magical! Jappy and his brother are so personable and warm. Great coffee and a great experience!
Great unique selection of coffees. Tastes as good and some of them sound. Quick to order, and pick up to get back to the road. It’s located inside the train station. If you’re looking for a good local coffee place that sells a unique selection of coffee this is the place to go!
What a neat find! I wasn't expecting this place to be inside the Des Plaines train station, but it's a great location! So many great options to choose from and you can tell they team there really take pride in what they are making! I gave the Pistachio donut latte a try and it was delish! (Try it iced, you won't regret it!). Adding this place to my list of fun little coffee shops to visit! Check them out, you won't be disappointed!
Much better than expected
It’s basically the only coffee shop in Des Plaines that isn’t a chain and it’s amazing. Inside the train station. Lovely service and treats.
Okay so this shop is onside the train station. Super cute little place, loved the decor. We got 2 hot lattes (la vie rose and the maurice) and we got 2 iced lattes (caramel and turtle flavors). The iced lattes were good but the hot drinks are where it's at!! So much flavor. We also got 2 croffles (white chocolate oreo and Ferrero Roche), run! don't walk, to get these hot, delicious croffles! They were absolutely delectable!! Service was great too! Check them out.
Great shot of espresso before my morning transit.! Great coffee
Amazing brews every single time.
I actually took that cup of whateveritwas back inside and asked for a refund. Horrible. Maybe it's fresher earlier in the day, but I couldn't take more than one sip. Burnt and old and just plain nasty.
Quick and yummy eats! Very professional setup. Accommodated my food sensitivities with a great recommendation of their herbal Honey Milk Ginger Tea. Love it! Had the white mocha Oreo croffle.. (croissant waffle) O M G! So good! Great spot that has limited parking and takes credit cards. Definite recommend. TIP: transit station with limited public seating. Great for takeout, no dine in.
As a coffee lover I could say that this place has the best delicious lattes/coffee i have ever tried. They have varierity of lattes, flavors of hot or iced coffee drinks that you would hardly find somewhere else. Such a cute place. The baristas are also are very nice !
Wonderful little spot in the train station. Worth the wait and the drinks are superb
Not the most elegant photo but I ordered my first purple latte. Purple Yam aka Ube infused milk with espresso that is subtle but good. The place itself is not easily found that is on Google maps cause it is in the inside of the metro station of this area. However, what a treat while you wait. A place that deserves its own building someday. Cause its convenience is mostly due to those that are coming from OR parting from the train station IMO.
Close to the best brown sugar latte i,ve ever tasted.and i,ve had hundreds.service was kinda slow but it was the afternoon and the rush was over,so only 1 employee on deck.will definately come back.
They’re never opened on time. I’ve gone twice on a Sunday when they should be open at 9, and they aren’t ready until 9:30. Inconsiderate of peoples time and schedules.
Bubble tea was good! Staff was kind! Nice place to get a drink to go.
Never been there
Took me a bit to find, since I didn’t realize it was inside the Metra station, but I’m glad I found it. Had the ube latte and ube coffee and both were delicious. I definitely want to come back for the boba, as I’m obsessed with anything ube flavored.
The cappuccino is amazing! The staff needs to work on being more friendly and inviting. Its a nice place and I will keep going as long as they dont change their products or process
