I like the guacamole cream cheese bagel and it is my go to breakfast item

Really great place to study and hangout with friends. They have great bubble tea and other snacks to eat. Lots of natural light and seating for large groups, small groups, or just yourself. It can get super busy during the school year though

I have been buying coffee here. Coffee was good. mojito is great. But I bought a tiramisu last time and it has gone bad.

So great! Sat inside by the window, lots of seating that has views. Great variety of coffee drinks, quick to-go choices, muffins, fruit and more. Very friendly here too. Will definitely come back here. Enjoyed my coffee and my food. Super easy parking nearby and easily walkable in the UI area

I’ve got to give credit where it’s due, this place has incredible dessert options. A little pricey in my opinion (depending on what you get). I’ve been here about 3 times, and this time around I got the Strawberry Ice Parfait- really it’s bingsu. It had shaved ice, fresh strawberries, red beans, strawberry ice cream & a strawberry jam blend. I initially thought it was kind of overpriced, but the portion size is quite large- even take out. This location does have a service fee of 5% but I’m unsure if that’s across all orders or just take out. The place was very clean and quiet! A perfect nook to study or work.

I have been to many smoothies and boba tea shops and have never been to a shop that is so disorganized like this place. There is no tag on the drinks, so if you ordered similar drinks, good luck figuring out. The employee couldn't tell which is which once they are made. The quality of the smoothies and boba teas, I guess it is good enough for university campuses outside of big cities like Chicago.

Pretty expensive for what you're getting. Cool environment though.

Water should be complementary, I am extremely disappointed at the quality of service I received and the fact that I was thirsty the whole time bc the bakery goods need water do wash down.

The coffee was okay, but the woman behind the counter was rude. When I asked her for a complementary cup of water she said no and that I need to buy a water bottle. That is not right considering how many bakery goods and coffee drinks we ordered. Please make sure to let their bathroom sinks run when you visit so they can pay a greater price on the water bills in spite that they are not treating their guests right.

they were always friendly and quick! the gelato was a unique experience for the entire campus really and soo not expensive for how delicious it was. I'd recommend that as much as if not more than any other dessert treat on campus.

Love this place! The mango peach smoothie is great, and it’s a great study spot if you’re looking to get out of your dorm.

The music is extremely loud for unknown reasons. It's very distracting for anyone who wants to take with someone else or try to do some work.

Drinks are o-kay. I wish our town had more interesting cafe than this. The cheesecake here is terrible tho.

Good study spot because noise level doesn’t get too loud but there’s not a lot of accessible outlets, half of the chairs are not sturdy, and some desks are too low to properly study at. Otherwise, high quality coffee and boba tea at an affordable price.
