I really like this place and used to love coming regularly but recently I've been disappointed with the quality of the coffee. There are two teenagers that I've seen working the past few times I've visited and each time I've ordered a plain whole milk latte. The first time they gave me drip coffee with a little steamed milk on top, and when I brought it back to ask why it didn't taste right, they were reluctant to remake the correct drink. Today the latte I ordered was so over foamed it was basically a dry cappuccino, half the cup was dry foam and I could feel the difference in weight when I picked it up. The espresso was watery and the milk wasn't steamed properly so the latte as a whole didn't have the sweetness it's supposed to get from the steamed whole milk. I want to keep coming back here but the lack of consistency is frustrating. The owners make delicious coffee and it's one of my favorite local places. Maybe if they've recently hired summer staff they need a bit...
Read moreNice place to take your laptop for work in the morning. If you want to become a Chicago burb local and adopt the "Da Bears" accent, this place is right up your street. Get a matcha latte (no oat or soy milk for me please. Only Whole Milk unless you have raw cow's milk) or just one of the Collectivo brews. They sell Collectivo beans and their private label beans which are nice. I don't eat donuts, but they have a better selection than Dunkin'. And do you like dogs? Well there's a little dog too- Chanel, your temporary emotional support animal.

The location is right across from the Brookfield metra Bnsf train, and is perfect for those passing in and out of town or wanting to sit back, relax and enjoy beautiful downtown Brookfield. The staff is all so lovely and they are the most laid back and kind people I’ve ever seen in a coffee shop(: I got the iced coffee with half and half and caramel syrup and it was PHENOMENAL! if you are looking for a beautiful, cute, and aesthetic coffee shop, or even just a peaceful place to work while enjoying coffee….this is definitely...
