Really cute and comfortable coffee house. We had the elder & oat latte, and a turtle latte. Both were delicious, and not too sweet. Also had three pastries - apple cider donut, lemon poppy muffin with lavender glaze, and a brown butter pecan scone. Yeah, we were hungry. All were good but our favorite was the lemon poppy muffin. The one minor complaint is only one person working - it was a Tuesday morning and the streets were quiet (not many pedestrians), so the order process took a bit. However, she was very friendly and efficient at making the drinks. Great shop & highly recommend it!

I visited four times in just one week (gotta love spring break)! Safe to say, I absolutely loved it! I also tried the breakfast sandwich with chili and bacon, and it was delicious! The crew was nothing but polite and professional, and Peter was such a sweetheart. It was such a pleasure to meet him!

They have so many vegan options!! Loved the vegan caprese sandwich and blueberry scone but I will have to come back to try more! Of course, the coffee was great too 😊

The only coffee shop that I’m consistently satisfied with every time regardless of which drink I’m ordering! Morning crew is personable and it’s always worth stopping before work especially when preordering using toast app.

There was a long wait for my strawberry lemonade but the vegan pastries were all amazing!!! We had a maple donut, strawberry cheesecake scone and blueberry muffin. All amazing. They have a nice small back porch with a few tables. The ambiance was very modern and boho. Loved the games and cafe/ coffee shoppe feel.

I've never been here, but my co-worker and I walked in during our shift, and I'm glad she introduced me to this place. I'm always looking for queer friendly places, so right there, we were off to a good start. I ordered a cold brew. It had cold creme on top and was seasonal. It was spectacular. The cold brew was light and almost tasted like a tea, and I think that was the most refreshing part. We also got a 1st responder discount, so that was much appreciated. The barista was also very kind and patient while we mulled over the menu and pastries. I definitely want to come back to enjoy the cafe in my free time. There is plenty of parking in the back but is not wheelchair accessible from there due to the flight of stairs you need to walk up to the back entrance.

An intimate coffee shop and bakery with a relaxed and friendly feel located in Downtown West Dundee. Locally owned and operated . Unique flavors featuring locally sourced ingredients . They will always feature a gluten free item. The owners want everyone to feel at home when enjoying a cup of coffee ,tea or latte while engaging in conversation with friends or just relaxing on a Sunday Morning. As soon as you walk in you will see the hand painted murals on the walls with small tables and booths while being greeted by a friendly staff. They only use 100% organic flour and the freshest ingredients. I started with their signature latte the Elder and Oat which was a mix of vanilla and oat milk with a hint of elderflower. They offer a selection of pastries..donuts..breads and sandwiches. Huge menu selection. The Mulled Apple Cider GF donut was my favorite. They are open till 2pm midweek and 3pm on weekends. Available for private events and pop up shops as well. With so many delicious choices to choose from I will have to go back!

i can’t believe it’s taken me so long to walk here and try it out; this is the best coffee and pastry i’ve ever gotten from a café! the coffee (shaken brown sugar espresso) was delicious and smooth without any grains, and the pastries i bought (carrot cake and lemon poppy seed muffin) were so fresh and sweet with a wonderful texture. everyone was very kind and helpful with all of my questions as a first-time visitor. service was extremely fast and pleasant and the atmosphere was so welcoming and relaxing. i’m definitely going to come back very often, especially with elder + oat being so easy to walk to 🙂 i can’t wait to try the more savory options! <3
