I went in this morning and left impressed! I had the new vanilla matcha latte and chocolate croissant. The latte was delicious and the croissant was the best I’ve ever had! The croissant was beautiful, flaky and full of flavor. My friend also got the vanilla matcha latte and smoked Gouda and bacon croissant, she was just as impressed as I was. The staff was really friendly and accommodating. My friend and I were there for well over an hour and we were never rushed to leave. My only “complaint” but really it’s a suggestion, is to have more seating but I know it’s a limited space. I got the crème brûlée latte, monkey bread and more chocolate croissants to go once I was done so I could share it with my family, they all loved everything! 10/10 recommend, I hope this business stays in Elgin for a long, long time!

Cute, locally run and owned Coffee Shop with delicious Pastries. Very reasonable prices considering what breakfasts costs at a commercial coffee house. They have all kinds of coffee options, including ice coffee blended in a cocktail shaker. All of Sugar & Rhymes pastries and dessert options are delicious, but the Croissants are to die for. I've had chocolate, ham & cheese and plain butter. The almond must be just as delicious, because they're always sold out by the time I get there. Next time, I'll call and do an order ahead a few days in advance. They also will wrap up your pastries (or coffee) to go, with instructions on how to reheat and not burn them in your own oven. Slightly burned they're still delicious. A word of warning, they're so big they don't fit in all toaster ovens.

Arrive early to pamper your taste buds with sweet and/or savory treats! We came about noon on a weekday and most items were sold out. That's happy news for this super cafe! I selected the chocolate amaretto cheesecake, topped with fresh whipped cream. Creamy and luscious, with an interesting crunchy crust. Yummy! My husband selected the cinnamon roll, which he enjoyed with a dark coffee. Really happy to have pastries served on real plates with reusable utensils, as well as beverages in brightly decorated reusable mugs. Pastries are fresh everyday. Any leftover items are donated at closing to the Y or Elgin PADS.

Stopped in on a whim. I usually go to a different place in downtown Elgin but they open much later. I absolutely love the aesthetic of this place. The staff were super friendly even when I asked them a bunch of questions about a dirty chai. I ordered a dirty chai which was really good and also the chocolate amaretto cheesecake. Amaretto is one of my favorite flavors which is pretty rare to find. The cheesecake was delicious and I will definitely be going back. Maybe sitting in the cafe this time. What really sold me on this place was the friendly staff, that's rare these days.

Nice coffee spot in downtown Elgin that I was glad to find this past Saturday afternoon. Very friendly baristas and a large menu full of the usual suspects and more. Ordered a Chili Chocolate iced latte after one the baristas gave me a rundown of what was in it. Tasted great and liked the laidback feel that I got even from just being inside of the cafe for a little while. Looking forward to warmer weather so that I can grab an iced shakerato the next time I'm in Elgin.

This cafe has a wonderful staff/owners and the best croissants I've ever had! I've tried all their croissants and adore them all: classic butter croissants, chocolate croissants, almond croissants, and even smoked ham and gouda filled! Their other pastries are great, too. And they make an awesome chai latte - my favorite drink! And, I absolutely love that they use eco friendly packaging. I hope this place stays in Elgin for a long time. We're so lucky to have them.
