Sweet 'n Brew Cafe — Restaurant in Addison Township

LOVE this place! We just moved nearby and wanted a locally-owned cafe near me to try, and this place greatly exceeded our expectations. First the coffee: we ordered a latte and a cappuccino. Both were excellent, FAR better than Starbucks or any other chain, especially when considering the cost. Second, the breakfast food and bakeries were delicious! Fresh baked and home made by the owner's mom! We got an arancini and savory crepe (mozzarella, spinach, chicken, and tomato) and ooooh so yummy. We were stuffed. But the reason I first wanted to check out the place was the gelato, so we had to try it. A scoop of strawberry, one of pistachio (as my judgement flavor every time I try gelato, all across Italy and elsewhere) and this gelato was fantastic. We also tried a pastry like an apple pie that was a surprise, but again, sooooo good! I just wish I had a larger stomach. Everything we tasted was wonderful, BUT finally what sealed Sweet 'n Brew as the best cafe and coffee (and treats!) was the service. The owner was incredible--friendly, attentive, welcoming, and a talented barista! We will definitely...

My experience at Sweet n' Brew was one-in-a-million. First and foremost, my eccentric herbal tea order (iced wild berry hibiscus with elderflower lemon, dash of oat milk and honey) was executed with ingredients of the highest quality. I won't expose the secrets of tea preparation to preserve the mystery of this charming café, but as an avid tea-drinker, I was impressed with the brands chosen. Price point was more than feasible; especially considering the craftsmanship of every item ordered. What secured Sweet n' Brew as a local hidden gem for me was not the well-branded shop logo, incredible gelato or mouth-watering savory crepes. It was the exemplary service I received from Danielle. She was extremely knowledgeable on all facets of the shop, and handled our order with such care. Additionally, interior decor, seating arrangements, and floor layout were altogether creative and calming. Give Sweet n' Brew a try; I promise, you won't be...

I have never felt so awful about my self after leaving an establishment. My boyfriend and I both ordered coffee and crepes. The owner took it upon her self to add sugar free syrup to only my drink. I order a vanilla latte with cinnamon, I never mentioned anything about wanting sugar free and she never told me it would be sugar free or asked if that was okay. After I tried the drink, I knew it was sf syrup and I asked it if she made it with sugar free syrup and she just assumed I wanted it. To clarify- she did not put anything sugar free in my boyfriends, who is smaller than I am, drink. She did remake the drink but I left in tears feeling humiliated. There are so many reasons that this is not okay, I have really intense food allergies and she doesn’t know my health concerns. Most importantly it’s honestly unethical to make that decision for someone. I have never left a review before but there was no way I could have walked away...
