An incredibly sweet lady (Dasha? I may have misspelled that but anyhow..) SHE WAS AWESOME. Knew to melt the honey before putting it in the ice coffee (bless her soul). I can’t tell you how many times I’ve ordered ice coffee with honey (at other locations) where the barista just puts the honey straight in there with the ice coffee and it just sits like a hard clump at the bottom of the cup, never able to mix with the beverage. CHEMN IS SO ADORABLE TOO
Favorite coffee shop by far!!
Superb place, good coffee and very friendly staff. You will love it extra if you're are into chemistry!
I’ve been to Chemn Cafe a few times and it’s always an enjoyable experience and today’s visit was not an exception! Their card machine was down and the barista at the register kindly let us know that they were cash only at the moment. I luckily had cash so it wasn’t a problem until I spotted their cute collection of stickers! They have a promo of buy their Chemn Cafe sticker, get one free! I didn’t have enough cash on me so one of the other baristas (I didn’t catch their names) said it was on her and gave me the sticker plus the free one! I was delighted; who doesn’t love stickers? I also ordered an iced caramel latte and my husband ordered a hot French vanilla latte and we enjoyed each of our own drinks. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming and I look forward to returning and maybe get some studying done with a nice , handcrafted drink!
Great coffee and lattes. Monica, the owner, is super cool and very welcoming. I had an americano and my wife had a latte with beet root. Both were delicious. The cookies are also very good.
Nice people, yummy breakfast tacos, not very good coffee. I was there for the Hog eye festival and they had breakfast tacos that day and I got coffee that morning. Unsure why they commented that they were closed when I posted the review. I did it later in the day. I love coffee but my friend and I were not happy with theirs.
Such a great coffee shop and even better alternative to Star Bucks. Would recommend to anyone looking for great coffee and atmosphere
We made it a work space for use. We will be back. Look forward to trying the coffee... Enjoy the home town feel.
Had a great time with my son there as we were passing through town. He ordered the shaved ice and I got an flavored iced coffee. Both were great with great service and the ambiance is excellent. Also the owner was very friendly and made a lot of great suggestions for things to do in town. We both really enjoyed the experience.
Chemn Cafe is cozy, friendly, and has awesome coffee to mix. There's a huge selection of flavors and syrups to add to any cup and if you sit and stay, you can tell it is loved by the locals or passersby alike. I've got to try the paninis or desserts next time! And, there will definitely be a next time!
Cappuccino is great, better than Starbucks
Fun little coffee spot with a sweet home town vibe! Thank you
Small Cafe with good wifi
The best coffee in town! Their vibe is AMAZING! The owner is very welcoming and her daughter is super cool too. When you walk in it feels like you are already at home! Definitely stop by and get some friendly conversation with your drink. They have a lounge setup, so you could stay and study while you drink.
Food was good. Had decent wifi
Best and only good coffee in Elgin, keep up the good work.
Chem Cafe is truly a small town locally owned coffee shop. The owner is friendly and really does believe in supporting their town. Chem Cafe is definitely an important part of our small town!
It's all amazing! Today I had a caramel latte and a tuna sandwich on a croissant. I couldn't get it down fast enough! Next time I'll try the tuna panini! Mmm mmm
Great coffee and a wonderful staff!
Great place to have coffee if you live in Elgin. Cozy and nice vibe. The owner Deja is friendly and welcoming. Worth checking out!
