This cafe and bakery is quiet and perfect for small gatherings or getting work done. The sweets are fresh, and their menu is halal which is great. Their signature Kashmiri chai is a must-try. It was my first time trying it, and I found it unique. I’ll definitely be returning, and I highly recommend it.

Unique selection of fancy lattes and teas, I tired the Cardamon Lavender Latte- and it was so delicious and perfect for a cold November day. I liked that the tables are very spread out so I was able to have a nice conversation with my friend without having too shout across the table. Lots of people there drinking coffee, eating and working on laptops or reading. The ceilings are very high and lighting is bright for a coffee shop, that being said still a good spot and would be back. My friend tried the chai and said it was very rich/ has pistachios floating on top. The chicken wardoff croissant sandwich was also very tasty! I want to go back to try one of the many scrumptious looking pastries and cakes they offered in the case up front.

Wonderful desserts! You can definitely tell they are made from scratch and not out of a box. It’s a little pricey, but it’s worth it for the high quality. Great fusion desserts and the cake jars are the perfect size. Look forward to trying their food items too!

Came here thinking it was the cuban place (they closed) Great coffee, wow. Amazing cakes and treats. Small mistake in the order (was 5 of us, 2 orders, one of 2 cappucinos, and 1 cappuccino and white mocha) easily understandable because we all sat at the same table. No problem, they remade the coffee. It has THICK FOAM THAT LASTS and wow it's good. We also got 2 cakes, Passionfruit Cheesecake, and Tiramisu cup and a macaroon. Nice and quiet, no weird jazz playing, no cheap people sitting here all day for free Wi-Fi like the other gimmicky place on the same block (but they do have Wi-Fi if you want). Nice tables and ample seating. Was quiet so our group can talk and hear each other, lovely! Free water at the sugar/creamer station. See pictures for the lovely decor., everything clean and new. I will be back often! Thanks! (Also a rewards program, 10th cake free!)

I cant believe it took me a year to find this place! I was looking for a chocolate croissant for my kids, and now I’ve got my new favorite cafe. The pastries and drinks are absolutely elite. The 2 guys who where working where warm and welcoming. The cafe is beautifully clean and new, upscale vibes with a warm welcome. I cannot wait to get back there and try everything else on the menu.

My cousin always brings us cake from this bakery, but today the lunch menu was even more amazing! The feta/beet/bulgar salad and feta/spinach Turkish pizza bread was so good. The new Skokie bakery could use a gallary art wall with local artists. Perfect place to display and host artist receptions.

Sweet Reserve Cafe & Bakery is a gem for anyone with a sweet tooth! Their Pistachio Tiramisu is simply outstanding—perfectly balanced and full of flavor. While the tea is decent, the pastries are thin, flaky, and a must-try. This place is perfect for families, and it’s a great spot to bring kids. We absolutely loved our visit!
