I love this place and choose them over Starbucks every time. I love thé choices of latte flavors. I’ve had the lavender vanilla which is always a home run and tried the egg custard latte (half-sweet) which was amazing. I’m dairy free and they have plenty of alternative milks to choose from. Oat is my favorite for coffee drinks.
I love what they stand for and support (abused women) and love giving my business to companies with great morals.
The coffee shop itself is adorable and inside an old house which is light and bright and full of windows. It is a tight squeeze inside but they have outdoor seating and I think an upstairs room as well.
Our only complaint was the espresso. My husband ordered a double shot and it was cold and bitter. We don’t know if they made it before my latte (which seemed perfectly warm) and let the espresso sit too long? We did not hear our name called (heard everyone else’s names called) and the person serving left them in a different room and we didn’t know she put them there. So assuming they sat for a while before we realized what happened.
Either way we think there seems to be an issue with training employees. Please call names clearly (it’s a very small space, so should not be an issue) and make sure the espresso is very hot and fresh. Also their “mediums” are more like smalls or a Starbucks tall so i felt it was a bit misleading.
Otherwise a great place for a cup of joe.
A great coffee shop with a great mission. The coffee and treats available are both delicious! It's a busy spot but the line moves quickly!
Great little coffee shop that literally exists in a old Wheaton historical home. It is right downtown, a stones throw away from Wheaton College. The coffee is good, the meeting space extends from the downstairs, across some rentable rooms, and upstairs with more private rooms and open space. Great spot to study and meet with friends. Can’t vouch for the pastries, but the coffee is good. I ordered a cappuccino. It was nice!
Small business coffee shop that offers a variety of flavors. There's a small room before you reach the line to place your order where you can browse some items for sale.
The first time I went here, I ordered an iced java mocha latte and a pumpkin muffin. The coffee was bold and flavorful. It wasn't too sweet and was better than Starbucks (in my opinion).
The pumpkin muffin came with a dollop of butter on top, and it was so good that I bought another before I left. It was even better the second time when I ate it the next day. I warmed it up in the microwave, and the muffin became super soft and pillowy. The butter melted a little to give that glazed effect, and I ended up eating the whole thing within 2 minutes.
I walked to this coffee shop the next day, and I ordered a decaf lavender vanilla latte. It was so good. You could taste both the lavender and the vanilla without it being overly sweet. It was a perfect treat during my walk in the chilly morning.
Highly recommend this little coffee shop. There are even small rooms you can occupy inside if you need to do some work while you're there.
Very quaint coffee spot! Nice and cozy inside and plenty of outdoor seating. I'm not a coffee snob , but to me it seems they have very good variety, as well as decaf, non dairy , and low sugar options.
They also serve small bites here- mini donuts, quiche, other pastries, snack boxes, etc.
I had the tastiest decaf salted caramel latte with coconut milk - highly recommend.
Apparently you have to pay for wifi here, though, and they offer packages. Can't confirm for 100%
There's some small conference/study rooms that you pay for and reserve ahead of time.
They also sell things like candles, jewelry, tapestry items.
Overall, I really liked this place and would return.
