Cafe Descartes

I have always wanted to stop in when passing by this place. It looked very cozy from the outside. Finally today I am here, and pleased to leave a five star review. First of all the cafe is located inside the large plaza, so you won't see it from the outside. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. I personally enjoyed the mathematic theme. They have an exquisite Italian blend of coffee that goes down very smooth. As a coffee roaster myself, I can speak to it's quality. The owner is of the most hospital I've ever encountered. He stopped to chat with me just while I was doing some work here. The wifi password is espresso680. While there are only a few places to charge inside, it's still a great place to sit and work, either from a laptop or phone. I will definitely add them to my weekend coffee bike tour. Try their unique espresso, Americano, or mixed coffee beverage. The blend they use mixes wonderful with cream.

I used to go to the one on Michigan Ave. and loved it. The service at this location was horrible. The barista was talking with some woman & not paying attention to my party. I ask him a direct question and he says ok. My coffee was wrong & I tell him so. He just looks at me and goes back to talking. My mom had already orders hers & he forgot what she ordered. He makes it and we left. I was surprised considering the old location used to be great! It is a place to grab morning coffee for commuters but not worth it for anyone else.

Service in store is great says my daughter but when she called due to a misplaced card he was extremely rude and did not assist us in anyway he fact he asked if we could stop calling. I did not appreciate this type of customer service. That is the purpose of having a phone... to communicate with your customers
