Ok yall - I've lived in Glen Ellyn for 5 years and every time I stopped in here on the weekend it was crowded and I was confused if this was take out only so I panicked and left. SO I came here on a weekday morning to try it out and let me tell you - everything is SO GOOD. So first, there are baked goods, give those a look as you walk in. Then there are deli sides in a display if you want those. Grab a menu near the deli sides and see if you want breakfast or a sandwich then even if you are dining in, place your order at the front with the cashier. You'll get a number and can grab a table. There are 2 back rooms full of tables so the restaurant is much larger than just the front ordering space lets on. Drinks: The seasonal drinks are really good - I had a pumpkin spice/similar latte and it was very well balanced and also the cup was very generous for a medium size. The seasonal matcha was also very good. Desserts: The cinnamon rolls are very good warmed up and the sugar cookies were great too. Food: I only tried the avocado toast and it was made well but the avocado did taste a little old but might be because it was a Tuesday. I'd give it another try to see if it was just a fluke. Overall this is a really nice breakfast/lunch spot and good place to work from if you like that vibe! There is a decent amount of seating you just have to walk back. All the workers were very friendly too.

Taken I came in the early hours (7 am) and in the middle of a continuing snow storm, I had a pleasant time. During my time, it was not loud and the music suited the atmosphere (and it was great for studying :) ). I ordered a small black Americano and it was very good - not diluted, and you could actually taste the coffee. There is plenty of seating and it was not very busy in the corner I sat in; however, that can be debatable because I came during a snowstorm, so many people might not have stayed around. I look forward to coming back :D

I was extremely disappointed… I had so many people recommend Blackberry Market to me and it was subpar at best.. I ordered an iced latte, received a hot, they went to make it iced and came back with another hot latte, I took it due to being in a rush. The flavor of the latte did not taste like what I had ordered… I also ordered a tuscan turkey sandwich to go. When I finally opened it to eat, there was a plastic bread tag on my sandwich (see picture). The ambiance seemed nice inside but the staff were busier talking amongst each other, behind the counter, than with the customers. I can’t help but wonder if that’s how my order got so messed up. Will try to go back and give it another try.. but for the prices you are paying, I would expect better quality drinks, food, and customer service.
