Damascus Cafe Willowbrook — Restaurant in Darien

Today was my first visit to this cafe and honestly, I loved it. The place itself is beautiful, with little details like the moon lamp that made it feel so cozy. But what really stood out was the barista. He was so kind and welcoming. He wrote my name on my cup, and I don’t know why, but that little touch made me so happy, it felt like the coffee was made just for me💖✨! Then, to top it off, he offered me a free coffee to try, which was such a sweet surprise🥹🩷. He even took the time to walk me through the different coffee options, patiently explaining each one.

I ended up going with the biscoff, which was absolutely delish (and this is coming from a huge caffeine addict!!!). My mom tried the pistachio one he generously offered and she loved it!! It was sweeter than the biscoff, so if you’ve got a sweet tooth, you’d probably love it.

The place is so clean and the whole atmosphere was so warm and inviting, and if you sit by the window (first table to the left of the entrance), you get this peaceful view of the tall trees outside. It’s honestly such a beautiful spot, and I can totally see myself coming back here again and again. Yhank you so much for...

We LOVE Damascus Falafel so when we saw that they were opening a cafe we were so excited! We miss the coffee on the west coast - there are not that many great local coffee places around us that we were willing to make the drive for. We started having to go to Starbucks again (boo).

Thankfully this is close! They opened just yesterday - My husband ordered the Damascus Cafe Latte (Hazelnut/Vanilla Blend) and I ordered the Pistachio Latte (both with oat milk) and they were wonderful! Not too sweet. Flavorful. They use monin syrups also, yay! We finally don’t have to go and resort to Starbucks anymore, double yay!

Only wish that it was opened earlier so we have it for early mornings. They are closed late so it’s nice for the ones that like to have coffee at night. But besides that it was great! Can’t wait to try...

I’ve tried Damascus Cafe three times so far and have never been disappointed! It’s a beautiful cafe and all the drinks I’ve tried are great. The barista is such a nice and sweet person, she goes above and beyond for sure. I tried the Damascus Latte, the Dubai Chocolate Mocha, and the Pistachio Latte and all of them were good, but I like the Pistachio one the best. One thing to note is that it is connected to the Damascus Falafel restaurant and there is no wall separating it so if you want to sit and study, it’s probably not the place for you. It also is quite pricy, as each drink is about...
