One of the best local coffee shops in the suburbs! Ube latte & The Annie are so delicious. Drinks are reasonably priced.

Worst cup of coffee to waste money on in all of Des Plaines. Even an expired K-cup offers a better experience than what they offer here.
Service is laughably bad.

Excellent drinks, food, and service. I love that they will put the drinks in a personal cup to cut down on waste. Good prices too! Today I noticed that the menu now includes breakfast and lunch sandwiches, very exciting! I tried the egg and cheese sandwich and it was delicious

Posting this because I specifically don't see any reviews going over the FOOD. Don't know if it's because they added it recently, or if people just don't get it. Either way, it's very good!
This spot is located within the train station lobby for the Des Plaines Metro line. The actual shop is cozy with a cute and quaint design, but the lobby can get very busy, noisy and rowdy. Not the greatest location unfortunately, and not a lot of room to sit. Not their fault, just pointing it out. You HAVE to take this to go.
Their breakfast menu is solid, my favorite is The Meg. The hot honey is NOT hot, but adds a very nice sweet flavor. Not too overpowering for me! Their lunch menu really shines. The Korean Chicken Cheesesteak is fantastic, and The Chos is incredible. All food I've tried here I would give a 5/5 besides their hash browns. Fell apart and not super crispy. Flavor was good, just not outstanding, so 3/5 for that.
The drink selection is vast, I've only tried 3. The Bikini Bottom and Mango Mojito were two of them, 5/5 and 4/5 respectively. Mango Mojito could've used a bit more mango flavor, but besides that very tasty! Bikini Bottom was fantastic, very sweet but expected from a drink with strawberry in it. Both gave me some jitters from the caffeine, but not any more than a coffee. Got both in Large.
Final drink I tried was their Thai Milk Tea Boba. Fantastic drink, 5/5 and definitely better than some other boba places I have been. Tasted close to the Thai Milk Tea I've gotten in the city, so that's a raving review.
The place is a bit pricey, but their food and drinks are quality and filling. I'd recommend it if you're close, it's convenient and you want something to fill you up. Great local place and hoping more people try the food as I can't even find pics of the food menu online!
