Forget Scooters, their scooters probably don't even run on caffeine! This hidden gem in Elgin is like a coffee shop Instagram come to life. Imagine lush emerald plants whispering secrets to sleek metallic accents, all while a smooth cement floor reflects the glow of your perfectly curated latte (because, let's be real, your latte game is #basicgoals).
Need a place to catch up with your bestie over gossip as juicy as their oat milk latte? Done. Craving a quiet corner to power through emails like a productivity ninja? Boom. This haven has comfy furniture that practically begs you to sink in and get your caffeine fix (or fuel your #adulting).
But wait, there's more! Forget sad, lonely muffins. This place has breakfast spreads that would make even the pickiest pastry princess swoon. Think fluffy scones that whisper "eat me" and quiches that are basically mini flavor explosions. Not a morning person? Fear not, fellow night owl! They've got lunch sorted too, with chicken salad that's probably serenaded by angels and power bowls that will make you feel like you can conquer the world (or at least your inbox).
And just when you think it can't get any better, they hit you with the merch game. T-shirts so cute they'll make your barista blush and coffee beans that will have your tastebuds doing the cha-cha. This place is basically the definition of "chic vibes," the missing puzzle piece your caffeine-fueled dreams never knew they needed. So ditch the boring chains and dive into this Elgin gem – your #coffeelover soul will thank you (and probably take a million pics...
Read moreMondays are always a busy morning getting the school routine taken care of so I stopped in for a veggie quiche and a Dr. Pepper espresso which are my favorite though I wish the drink was bigger, they are still amazing!!! Lol I've loved the quiche even when they were still The Pink Elephant and got them all the time because they're the best (10/10) seem bigger, fluffier, and thicker now (hey me too! 😂) they are a full meal in themselves! The prices and flavors to me are a hundred times better than Starbucks, even better than you'd expect from a lot of local small town shops! Little story here, this Monday morning I forgot my wallet and said I'd be back in 5 minutes, instead the nice lady at the window let me know she could text me a link to pay from my phone which I made sure to before I left the parking lot. I wish more places did that because sometimes it can be a little embarrassing enough to forget yout wallet let alone remember it on some hectic mornings, this made my day. 💕 The Dr. Pepper espresso and quiche have always been more than enough to keep me (they have an awesome bacon quiche too) they definitely have a loyal forever customer out of me, I'm...
Read moreWe'd been wanting to try the quiche for breakfast, and they were terrific about helping us with the menu, and any questions I had about ordering ahead. FYI, best to call that in, especially larger orders the kitchen may need a day or so to prep above and beyond their usual sales. It was also nice to see some filling choices that were vegetarian or -ish, that gets difficult to find when you're in a hurry, without always only having maybe one choice.
I didn't get to grab any drinks today, but we'll definitely be back. The staff were all super nice, our order was ready quite quickly, and everything is so clean & appealing. It's so nice to have somewhere in Elgin that serves the food fast, but is far...
