Pretty, fresh, and delicious. Everything was perfect, just at a price! $$ I guess it's worth it, but can't afford to come every week.
This place is so fun, comfy, and welcoming. It's a small little shop that puts out some of the best avocado toast I have ever had. It's a little pricey, but it's worth it! Fresh ingredients, beautiful coloring, visually and physically satisfying.
Purchased a delicious hot chocolate on a cold rainy day. Hit the spot!
This us my favorite local spot for coffee, smoothies, and smoothie bowls. The modern decor is cuter local coffee beans, beverages, and pastries can be purchased here.. I get the avocado toast and the Greek salad no cheese. They’re both delicious. My favorite is the peanut butter bowl as a smoothie in a cup but with the toppings on top. The green tea latte with oat milk is delicious. I have changed my what was 5 star review to a three star. This is the third time this has happened and all months apart. UPDATE THEY FREQUENTLY CLOSE EARLY. Its not updated on google. I drove to the location that isn’t near me and it’s closed one hour early. Granted there are handwritten signs on the door but that does not help people who travel there based off their regular hours.
Cozy local cafe. Regular customer, for a reason!
I don’t make a habit of visiting suburban coffee shops. Sadly, there just aren’t enough like Owl and Lark, otherwise I’d be more tempted when I’m in DuPage county. This place is a gem. Quality where it counts. Counter Culture coffee roasters is the entry level to what makes this place great. The avocado toast is worth every penny (though I’d be interested in some more interesting bread options). Plus speciality drinks made with craftsmanship. Icing is: Gender-neutral restrooms with changing tables, making this place accessible and welcoming. Compostable cutlery and to-go containers plus washable real dishes if you’re enjoying in. Gorgeous interior design and hygge. Whoever has the green thumb in there is doing an amazing job. I’m sure there’s more, but these are what made this place stand out for me.
I didn't try food here. But they have great coffee. The bad side of this place is that it is only a bit small. But that is not a bad thing sometimes.
Coffee at its finest. My favorite is the Honey Lavender latte, I have it made with oat milk. It's aromatic, flavorful, and smooth. Hands down, it is the best latte I've had. Owl and Lark provides such a homey feel but the quality is outstanding so its great for a meeting as well. I've met girlfriends here, meetings here, studied here, met a date (my husband) here, and just chilled here. It's perfect for anything and the food is great. I've ordered in and done take-out. My favorite is their avocado toast - it's the best around and the watermelon crest on top is delightful. To me, the staff are just ok, seems to be hit or miss. Sometimes I feel like they want to know people, sometimes I don't. Nevertheless, the coffee and food are consistent. And they are what I come for, the ambiance is just a bonus.
Overall enjoyed my experience with friends at this cafe, but definitely preferred the food over the drinks. I got the chai latte as a non-coffee drinker and it was pretty disappointing with overly strong notes of spices, but i absolutely ADORED the food. The avocado toast was fantastic with a lovely red pepper flakes spice blend that competed the toast. It was well balanced and the perfect savory breakfast. The smoothie bowls are also fantastic and flavorful.
Such a cute and quaint coffee shop. Many great original drinks to choose from. Inside of the store was very clean and quite cozy it had nice area to sit and enjoy your cup of joe. If you're looking for a change-of-pace try their iced blueberry latte. Very unique and very flavor forward.
Really enjoyed the lattes here. The bakery items could be better and the seating area isn't very spacious.
Had a very good experience today at Owl And Lark cafe! I just went earlier and got the lavender latte and the avocado toast and really enjoyed it. Barista made my drink excellent! The lavender latte is most definitely one of my favorite coffees, I highly recommend for lavender lovers (I got mine iced with oat milk.) They offer a very nice atmosphere as well! I felt like I was able to read comfortably while drinking my coffee, also really enjoyed the music inside. Overall an amazing experience, highly recommend and will be returning soon!
Had the Yame sencha tea and the salmon bagel and it was such a great combo. One of the best to go breakfasts I had in awhile. Never have been disappointed from this place.
Amazing crafted coffee and espresso here! A personal favorite of mine is a latte with oat milk to go, but I have eaten in here. The espresso is perfectly pulled and never tastes overly bitter like you might find at a Starbucks or Dunkin. The milk is always perfectly frothed as well! They also do cute latte art on each cup, including the to-go orders! A cool aspect of this spot is that they give you reusable, ceramic cups and plates while eating in. They also have breakfast toasts and smoothie bowls that are handmade with care.
My family only get the smoothies, smoothie bowls and avocado toast here. The mango lark smoothie is my lifeblood please never stop making it. I tried making something similar at home and it's just not the same. I compare all smoothies to that one, nothing comes close.
All I got was a chai latte. Pretty easy nothing extra, pretty bland and no chai at all. Decent amount of foam on the top but man this place doesn't know chai. Plain and simple. Atmosphere was nice and urban/modern. BUT a coffee shop is nothing without quality coffee. I don't have anything against them but I call it how I see it. Would give it a second shot because everyone deserves a second chance but the baristas that made my chai made me very skeptical. It's not that complicated. It left me wondering what I could've spent that $5 on. Overpriced for the quality I was given.
I love coming to owl and lark. I’ve been coming here for a few years now and they never disappoint. They have something for all year around. smoothie bowls in summer, pumpkin matchas in the fall/winter. If you’re near by or looking for a chill & delicious coffee shop, this is it!
Very popular, nice place, tons of seating Pumpkin coffee was nothing special for the high price
Very convenient location. They had a variety of gluten free food to pick from! Coffee was fantastic.
Have been here many times, and it has usually been great except yesterday. Came in 20 minutes before closing and all the chairs were up like it was closed. Staff didn't seem happy to see 3 customers come in 20 minutes before closing. We ate there til 6 but the atmosphere was very uncomfortable. If you are open til 6 pm, then stay open til 6 pm. Once it's 6 pm, then lock up and don't serve anyone. But let the people who came in before 6 enjoy their meal. Or have a take-out only policy after 530 pm. Was left with a really bad taste in my mouth. Will begin to explore some of the many other smoothie/health food options in the area. We uses to drive from Lombard to eat at this place. Anyone know of other good places in the area?
