"Great coffee shop in River North with a huge menu — flavored lattes, matcha, smoothies, and a big pastry display. The dessert case is packed with options like pistachio cheesecake, tiramisu cake, stuffed dates, lemon loaf, scones, and Middle Eastern–inspired pastries. I ordered the pistachio latte and an iced Americano. Prices are slightly high, but the shop has plenty of seating and it’s tucked on a quiet block of River North, which makes it perfect for working, meeting friends, or a slow morning coffee. I arrived at 9:45 a.m. on a Sunday and it was empty, but by 10:30 a.m. it was filling up fast so it’s ideal if you want a calmer, early-morning spot. Great drinks, lots of space, amazing pastry selection, and a relaxing vibe in a busy neighborhood."

"Cute place, they have wide range of sweets and pastries , but I was not a big fan of this matcha ! It was mid at best! The latte was good though."

"Solid spot with great middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavors. Coffee was solid and the food was solid and well portioned. Interior is a bit larger than it looks from the outside with a good amount of seating."

"I came here to study while having some coffee. I loved the atmosphere of this place, plenty of seating although very popular!! My vanilla latte was very good and my chicken cesar wrap was also tasty. my only caution is pricing - i added cold foam to my latte and with food it was around $27. But also the pricing is on the menu so it’s not anything surprising. Also they were very busy when I arrived (around 1pm on a tuesday) so it can get slow but honestly worth it. Great place for coffee and food that isn’t just pastries!"

"This is a wonderful spot for authentic Arabic coffee and bites. I ordered the Arabic tea along with a zaatar and cheese manakeesh, both of which were excellent. Others in my group tried the strawberry-banana smoothie and the brown sugar shake, and everything we sampled was delicious. A great place to enjoy flavorful drinks and fresh dishes."
