Really nice coffee house on Howard St. Good vibe and experience. Inviting atmosphere. The kids enjoyed the chalk board. We had a salad, smoothie and the kids had hot chocolates. Everything was really tasty and best of all it’s certified kosher.

For all those vegan and vegetarians out there, you MUST try this place. The avocado toast and the hummus and roasted veggie toast are out of this world. I also recommend the bagels (the everything bagel is my favorite). If you have a sweet tooth, their pastries are great. The pain au chocolat rocks! The ambiance is relaxing and full of light and they also have outdoor sitting. The service is polite and efficient.

This hummus & veggies toast was incredibly delicious. I usually just get a drink through the drive-thru (they make it so easy to support local when I need a coffee fix!) and am so glad I tried this today. Ive always had good experiences going in the drive-thru, although sometimes the wait for the drinks can be on the longer side. Definitely will be back for coffee and to try more food from their menu.

Sensational! Great coffee, some of the best on the north side. Also great pastries and food! It is a great cafe thats just so happens to be kosher. I could not recommend this place more! Its fantastic!

We love this place for their creative and delicious menu. They do close randomly, so I usually call before I go. Its a bit pricey and sometimes things take a while to come out. Also, there could be more consistency with drinks and food. But the food is fresh and delish, so I keep coming back.

This is very different from what i tend to gravitate towards. I saw so many good reviews i had to try it. I got avocado toast and a tropical smoothie. They were both very good. The paper straw made me smile.

Very nice place for coffee, tea, or a quick healthy bite. I really love the variety of drinks and items on the menu. The sweet matcha oatmeal is perfect for getting breakfast and a boost at the same time! The ambiance is quite cozy and the hours of business are reasonable. In for those times you cant sit and enjoy your order, theres a drive-thru!

My first time here was great. The drinks are unique and very tasty. They also supply the basics like espressos and lattes, so any palette should find something to feed the caffeine craving. I cant wait to try something else here.

Love the space and the coffee is good - would be happy to come here often to read or work if I lived nearby. I’m not in love with the avocado toast; the nutty bread is a great base, but I would prefer layered slices of ripe, room temperature avocado to julienned mango and jicama (?) on top of refrigerated guacamole.

Only swung by for a coffee. The mocha was swell.Appreciated the pristine industrial interior & the music was a nice mix & not too distracting. Want to make it back here to try some of the food.

Nowhere else have I gotten a tuna sandwich as good as my motheruse to make! Top quality everything, more like the collective it israther than a restaurant. A little gem, to be valued and supported!

Review №23

Really disappointing. Over night oats $5.95, were served in a clear plastic drinking cup, not half full, served cold, with a few teaspoons of frozen blueberries on top. The real deal breaker was the breakfast sandwich: egg, cheese (some anemic American brand) and veg sausage microwaved on a cheap hamburger bun. You might want to pass on this little delicacy.

First impressions last a lifetime. Place was very clean and social distancing aware. (NOTE: THEY ARE NOT ACCEPTING CASH DURING COVID. CREDIT OR DEBIT ONLY)Staff extremely friendly. Top notch coffee and other goodies like pastries, artisan pizzas, and sandwiches. Had to try the Spicy Cinnamon Mocha which on first sip will have you hooked.

Great Customer Service! Coffee definitely meets the expatiation by far. Easy to drive up and parking is free and available. Inside experience meets the expatiation and more... Cozy, warm, and comfortable. I dont get the chance to go everyday but when I do I absolutely enjoy the coffee and small chat with the staff ♥️!

So I always pass it but never stopped in. Finally did after Dunkin Donuts screwing my order again. But it was awesome service! Unfortunately they ran out of a certain flavor and gave a great recommendation so I went with it and it was BEYOND GREAT! The environment was really calm and soothing. A great melting pot. The prices were fair. What really made me happy was the temperature. The coffee didnt scald me :)

Why would you not come here? Quality food and drinks! Locally owned! Dont bemoan the corporatization of everything and then not support great neighborhood places like this with nice staff and fantastic ownership with a long-standing demonstrated commitment to the community.

Review №43

Ordered from doordash today about an hour ago (name:jade) and had an issue with order. Only two items were given the avocado toast and tonic drink out of a large seven item order. I guess I had ordered before the person who is working today’s break since the order was not complete and when I called the guy said he was the only one working and was on break at the time. Very rude!! Hung up the phone on me when I politely asked why my order was missing items. So when the order arrived I seen the two items and the driver canceled the order which usually the restaurant does when items are missing in stock. I just spent the last two hours in support because of the person working today. They could have been honest about the issue instead they were rude. That’s so hurtful when people are depending on deliveries to eat during this time and I myself am disabled! I would like to speak to someone else about this issue. I’ve ordered once before but on grub hub and had no issue at all and the food was great, unfortunately the person working today is not representing the business the best way and messing up orders. I called shortly after the issue happened. He said he was the only one there and doesn’t remember said he needed to look for my ticket. Then was like the order is canceled, I said yes that happens when the order is missing so many items he said again he doesn’t remember and he didn’t bag this order. Although two items only arrived, then he even read back the two items that were in bag. So I’m asking what really happened? He said he doesn’t know he was on break. How is that possible if he was the only one there and two items arrived? And then to hang up then ignore my other call, and calls from doordash! It’s just horrible I spent a lot and now have to wait 5-7 days to get my money back because of this.

Review №48

Just what Rogers park needed! Quality drinks with fun different flavors, delicious small plate foods, extremely helpful and friendly staff, and a cozy and clean atmosphere. I loved everything about this place and I’m so excited to go back. It is definitely not your basic cafe menu, so if you’re used to that stick to Starbucks and McCafe (nothing wrong with either). But when you’re ready to try new things of higher quality, this is the spot to go!

Review №49

Quality of coffee waivers depending on who creates it. Food & Shakes take long and have been disappointing lately. Was closed for extended periods of time. Rudeness with staff when we went back to get a remake. I wanted to love & support this local spot, but cant go back anymore for the expensive cup of Joe that does not reach basic expectations. Nice exterior design to look at and keep driving. If you have a larger vehicle - Parking can be difficult.

Grabbed a Sweet Matcha Cortado with almond milk as Id never had one before and I was FLOORED at how DELICIOUS it was! It was so smooth and comforting - I needed that pick me up on a Tuesday morning. Will definitely be going back.Obviously the building was a bank, but they made it into something so much cooler and so much more special; its a beautiful building now with great seating around it and the drive thru is perfect where it is. Highly, highly recommend stopping by if you want something delicious!

Review №52

Small portions that feel pre-made, lackluster presentation, often out of important things (for example, once they were out of eggs. Eggs! Half their menu is egg based!) Good flavor for most things (I dont recommend plain iced coffee, its very watery). The best part is the ambiance of the place.

I just went for the first time this past week. I had been up at 3am almost every day of the week and pulled out my ID for the cold brew...yea so the is no beer sold here 🤣Even though there is no beer sold here, I was pleasantly surprised how great this place is. The Bond breakfast sandwich was on point and the avocado toast(?) (2 slices), was pure heaven!If you have time and its not too crowded, Id recommend eating in. Its nicely set up and clean with a chill vibe. The employees were kind and helpful, it took a few of them to figure out if they had any decaffeinated tea, and the cashier did not rush me in any way.P.S. I have no proof of this, but the look and taste of the food gave off a healthy note.Also, They had two options for decaf tea, (I went with chamomile), and if youre not putting cold milk in your tea it will be extremely hot.

Stopped in here by happenstance and immediately felt at ease. The ambiance is perfect for getting work done or catching up with an old friend. The decor is rustic-ish and yet cozy. It is very clean and the staff are very patient and nice. The RTD&E selection is very good and has a lot of clean eating options.While I didnt try their coffee, their pound coffee smells very good.Also an added bonus that its kosher certified.

Loved it!! Had the cortada, which was perfect. The espresso doesn’t have that burnt 🥵 taste 👍 they also have poppy seed rolls - yummy 😋 friendly and good service. And outside sunny seating area 👍👍- fall time - tried a cappuccino and it’s excellent too! Friendly and knowledgeable staff explained the difference between the cortado espresso drink, the cappuccino and latte - and the differences in ounces - super informative! ❤️

Review №67

I was here this past Sunday with friends and their service was quite poor. Part of my order was an double espresso and I added flavored sugar free vanilla. When the guy had called out an espresso, I had asked if it was an espresso with sugar free vanilla. His reply was, ”no” and he had took my cup back and added it and then goes “now there is” I did not get an apology at all. And on top of that my espresso was cold!!!!I just added more stars to my review because the owner reached out to me and acknowledged the problem and took the time to email me. Wish the employee that took care of me addressed the problem right away.

It is a nice, clean place with outside patio but there is no actual food on the menu. Mostly sweets and coffe/tea. I guess I expected soup/salad/sandwich kind of place because it does say lunch on their sign.

I really want to like this coffee shop. Its got a good design, good location, and has parking lot and its local. The thing is, the price of their beverages is pretty steep. Taking tax into account, a coffee of identical size to a Starbucks grande is 18% more at Bond i.e. $2.73 vs $3.23. Maybe I just have to get used to the sticker shock?

No review yet, but I am wondering why the menu doesnt seem to have a selection of teas. I simply dont like coffee, and I dont actually like feeling left out when tea is absent or de-emphasized.All I really want is an English Breakfast or an Earl Grey.Was there this morning, and impressed with the energy and so many people... youve clearly filled a niche in West Rogers.Mazel tov.
