    Quick and yummy eats! Very professional setup. Accommodated my food sensitivities with a great recommendation of their herbal Honey Milk Ginger Tea. Love it! Had the white mocha Oreo croffle.. (croissant waffle) O M G! So good! Great spot that has limited parking and takes credit cards. Definite recommend. TIP: transit station with limited public seating. Great for takeout, no dine in.

    Great unique selection of coffees. Tastes as good and some of them sound. Quick to order, and pick up to get back to the road. It’s located inside the train station. If you’re looking for a good local coffee place that sells a unique selection of coffee this is the place to go!

    Okay so this shop is onside the train station. Super cute little place, loved the decor. We got 2 hot lattes (la vie rose and the maurice) and we got 2 iced lattes (caramel and turtle flavors). The iced lattes were good but the hot drinks are where it's at!! So much flavor. We also got 2 croffles (white chocolate oreo and Ferrero Roche), run! don't walk, to get these hot, delicious croffles! They were absolutely delectable!! Service was great too! Check them out.

    The croffles (croissant/waffle) is so delicious! We tried the seasonal strawberry cheesecake croffle today. I also had the honeymilk latte and that was excellent too. Fast service and really delicious. No tables or cafe seating as this is located in the Des Plaines Metra station. There are a few parking spots in front dedicated to 15 min and 60 min parking for the cafe.

    Stopped by this little gem when we were visiting from Michigan & oh my goodness, we were BLOWN away! Lab is a good name for them because they have it down to a science!! Delicious stuff here, everything my family ordered I got to try and it was great. I’m in a boba craze & got the brown sugar boba with a shot of espresso, my only tiny critique is the the boba could be cooked a bit longer. Other than that, it was perfect

    An interesting coffee shop inside a train stop. Of course I had to try all of their cookies with the mango being my favorite. Espresso was good also. Each cookie was $4 each and I've spent under $15 altogether. Barista was sweet to have me. A cozy place to come to on a cold morning!

    Had the Ube Iced Latte. Absolutely amazing. Top-5 iced coffee I’ve ever had. When I’m back in the area I will visit again. Price is what makes this one of the best coffee shops I’ve ever visited.

    Convenient parking at the train station. They have a sign that tells you to let them know if you have a time constraint (because you’re waiting for the train) so they can accommodate you as best they can. They know their menu! Our party has allergies to consider, and so the guy was helpful in making drink choices. Because they hadn’t tried the el vien rose and white mocha drink, they couldn’t tell me offhand how sweet it was. But! they offered to adjust the sweetness for me. I ordered 1/4 sweetness, and it was great! We ordered the ube latte, chocolate churro latte, java chip frappuccino, and el vien….and the croffles. UBE! The drinks and croissant waffles were fantastic. Couldn’t figure out how to make myself thirsty enough to order milk tea, too, so didn’t get to order that. There were several boba and jelly choices!

    Took me a bit to find, since I didn’t realize it was inside the Metra station, but I’m glad I found it. Had the ube latte and ube coffee and both were delicious. I definitely want to come back for the boba, as I’m obsessed with anything ube flavored.

    The coffee and menu selection is amazing, not really a sit-down place tho. Great if you're getting coffee to-go. The apple pie latte was awesome.

    The establishment is quite nice and everything I tried tastes great. It is inside a train station so there isn't really seating but worth a stop if you're in the area. Treat yourself and get a croffle. Not a misspelling, it is a waffled croissant and it's wonderful.

    Just realized my photos were in an upload pending state so I'm updating my review from Sat.06.11.22: So glad Brew Lounge is alive, although in a different location yet similar vibe, and under a different alias. Grabbed a double shot espresso in this review, pictured here. Truth be told, I prefer this location a bit better. Will be back for sure.
