Based on the positive reviews, was expecting a superior experience... not so much. I will fully admit that my (and my wifes) hopes for a west/east coast-like coffee experience were in effect, and that many people in the area only know of Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, etc. Ordered 2 coffees: 1 drip, 1 mocha. Person at the counter wasnt particularly competent in knowledge of the coffee ingredients. No real personality, but not rude. Drip coffee came out of a THERMOS... nuff said. Then we notice that the drip is basically brewed in a commerical BUNN coffee maker. Not terrible, but far from unique or showing any real care for the coffee. The mocha did offer a decent crema, but had a slightly odd aftertaste. I asked what chocolate was used, and was told it was a Torani syrup. No mention of light/dark chocolate. Atmosphere of the coffee shop was probably the highlight. Its an open layout without a lot of seats, but a somewhat alt-feel with a blend of wooden work tables & velvet arm chairs and local artwork on the walls for sale. Fairly calm atmosphere with low-moderate noise. Didnt test/verify any wi-fi. Prices are slightly below Starbucks. Upon leaving it felt like more effort was really put into the decor than the actual coffee itself, which is a shame. Surprisingly both drinks were better than expected, not having too much bitterness with some boldness. Unfortunately, not good enough for a repeat visit unless Im in the area.

I love the atmosphere here. Great teas and variety of caffeine drinks. Prices are pretty average for a coffee shop. The staff are friendly and unique. My only disappointment with this place is their hours. They are constantly changing them and have recently started closing at 7pm instead of 9pm (which was when I spend most of my time there). Other than that this place is awesome! Oh and new music is always on so thats refreshing.

Excellent coffee with very friendly service. Their beans are locally roasted and have a slightly chocolate flavor not bitter at all. Really wonderful! Also a great place to drink your beverage while waiting for the train. They have tasty food and snacks as well.

Fantastic coffee shop! The menu has your traditional espresso drinks, as well as unique beverages. Artwork is displayed on the walls, and its a cozy place to sit and enjoy your coffee. Add on the free wifi, and now I want to live there! Highly recommended!

I was there the other day, just waiting for a friend to meet up with. The owner walked by and asked me to leave because I didnt order anything. The store was empty except for 2 other people and it was raining outside. I dont plan on ever going back.

Outstanding coffee with friendly, energetic staff!! They also have incredible gelato! They manage the train station coffee shop as well & it is just as good as the Corner House, so dont worry if your late for the train!

Good coffee & espresso, which is all too rare. A nice mix of flavors & syrups if thats your thing. Decent baked goods and work local artists on the walls. Nice place to kill some time.

Cozy spot in a revived downtown Lombard. Every staff member is friendly, and Im here almost every day. They pull a mean Cortado.
