This is a beautiful, eclectic, and cozy cafe with very chill and open vibes. It’s the perfect place to come visit if you’re looking for good conversations, solo work time, and of course, yummy beverages and bites. I instantly felt welcomed the moment I stepped inside. Part of this cafe’s beauty and authenticity lays in its’ charming decor and inviting greenery. It is clear that a lot of love and labor went into this cafe.

Friendly little cafe located in Downtown Skokie. The aesthetics are cute and service there is great. Also a good place to get some work done! Definitely recommend the Lavender Vanilla Latte.

Cute cafe but the drinks, we personally didn’t enjoy. They had couple dessert pieces to the side and that’s it. Expected a little more from a cafe.

A complete gem of a coffee shop! I happened to meet the owners when I went in and they are both so warm and friendly. My sister and I ordered several drinks, with the help of their recommendations. We also took home some desserts from local bakers, which were delicious. The ambiance is very inviting and well thought out. I will definitely be stopping in when we are in the Chicago area next!

I ordered the cardamom rose latte. I enjoyed it. Simple menu. Friendly staff. I really enjoyed the ambiance. Lots of live plants & tons of natural light. Neutral furniture tones. It feels good. I could certainly stay a while & try the different menu items on future visits.

This is my favorite new coffeeshop! The staff is so friendly and energetic. I got to meet the owners and they know their coffee. They gave great suggestions and can talk about different ways to enjoy coffee. I've been in a few times and tend to get the lavender vanilla latte because I LOVE lavender. It's great with regular milk or oatmilk. It's also great hot or iced. I love several of their other drinks as well and they have some tasty bakery items from local bakeries, too. The ambiance is fantastic and sooo photo-worthy! The seating is comfy and they have great decor. I look forward to going in all the time!

Visited my family in Skokie from Seattle where I'm used to good coffee. This cafe is fantastic - comfortable chairs - friendly baristas - and most importantly excellent espresso. They use the good sh*t here. The long table is great for getting work done. I wish the owners/staff great success with the business!

If the ladies running the place weren't so nice, I would knock it down to three stars. It looks new, as in they opened up rather recently and are trying to drum up business in the local community. The place is cute, I can see a lot of work went into it. The glitter paint used throughout is really beautiful. Parking was easy to find and free. There was seating inside and plenty of guests enjoying their coffees while chatting. Location was great, right in downtown Skokie. However, the acoustics were bad. The noise of chatter was deafening. Something should really be done to soften that, as I couldn't hear the people taking my order and they couldn't hear me. What really makes me want to knock my rating down, however, is the complete lack of any physical menu. If you don't have a smart phone on you at the moment that's capable of reading QR codes, you are completely out of luck. No menu for you. That is a dealbreaker for me, I would not return until they get a physical menu of some sort. My phone is old and doesn't read QR codes.

I dream of the iced cardamom rose latte. It was so good!! And the mint mojito mock tail was so refreshing and perfect for the upcoming spring/summer seasons.

Amazing experience. The food and coffee were phenomenal (our party got drip coffee, hot cocoa, and all of the specialty lattes)! It’s owned by this amazing couple, one of whom served us. Noor bantered with us a ton and is so charismatic! She’s also a teacher. So if you wanna support a business owner by a teacher of color, go here. If you don’t, that’s messed up, but the coffee, food, service, and atmosphere are worth it alone.
