Very cute artsy cafe - Edit
Our experience eating here was great. The sevice was wonderful. Our server was super nice and helpful. The menu was small but the food was delicious. The food combinations in the wraps were unique which created a meal we wouldn't have made for ourselves but so glad we tried. The desserts were incredible. Cherry is not my favorite flavor because it often tastes artificial but the bon bon cakes with cherry sauce were absolutely delicious. It tasted like fresh cherries. They use frozen coffee ice in the ice coffee so it doesn't get watered down. This kind of thoughtful touch was present in both the food and the ambiance. It had a little art shop next to it which gave the cafe a cozy feel. We will definitely be going back.

Very cute art cafe with interesting food options - Edit
This would be the perfect place for a romantic lunch date or to catch up with a good friend. Food is a little pricey but not outrageous, and portions are generous. The people working here are lovely and welcoming. The cafe itself has only a few tables so this wouldn’t be a place for a big group. It’s so quaint! I rarely make it to the suburbs but glad I stopped in!

Do not miss this spa-like Vegan cafe - Edit
Coquelicot is the perfect little place to chill and enjoy great vegan food. It has been on my 'Vegan restaurant must-visit list' for a year now, and we're glad we made the trip (my wife and I, driving from St. Charles to their cafe in Palatine).
Read moreWe each ordered different wraps, and the food was delicious and the perfect size. The 'bites', little balls of chocolate and coconut or raspberry, were tasty as well, as was the vanilla cake for dessert.
There aren't enough little restaurants like this one in existence, so it's great to find one. Check them out today (unless today is Sunday or Monday, if so you'll have to wait until they reopen on Tuesday!)
Enjoy!
Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Service
Cons: No location in St. Charles ;), No complaints

Beautiful cafe with quality ingredients and artful presentation - Edit
I recently had the wonderful experience of dining here for the first time since they changed to a 100% vegan menu. My husband and I really enjoyed our beverages, meal and dessert. This is a cozy and beautiful place to meet for coffee/tea or beverage with friends. Full dining offers several options that I look forward to trying next time we return. This trip we had the oat milk fig latte and the BEST hot chocolate along with the 7 spice tofu wrap and vanilla cake for dessert. The owners are lovely and pay careful attention to details in presentation, taste and quality of each dish.

Elegant cafe, light and fresh food - Edit
Lovely environment and my lunch was really good. The texture of the tofu was excellent in my basil pesto wrap. Had it with a hot chocolate. Wonderful experience. It was a little pricey, but everything was very high quality, so worth it.

Needs to work out kinks - Edit
This restaurant is new, so they get some leeway.
Read moreThe service was slow. The servers were super nice, though. That might just be a byproduct of staff performing both service and food prep.
Drinks are fantastic. Dessert is very good, especially the vanilla cake. The food menu is very small. That isn’t a bad thing per se, but there are some items on the menu that weren’t received well and it’s a lot of tofu (on the menu and on your plate).
The food highlights are the mango green salad and smoked-spice tofu wrap. This might be the best salad I’ve had in my entire life.
The location is a bit out of the way, not to mention it’s in the burbs. I wonder if more Asian items on the menu would attract the meat eaters. Also, I think adding soup to the menu would very beneficial!
