Baked goods are all made in house and truly delicious. The drinks are also handcrafted with many ingredients made from scratch! Definitely worth your time to visit this quaint coffee shop in downtown Elgin.

Beautiful little shop with the best croissant I have ever had. The amaretto chocolate cheesecake is incredible. The atmosphere is wonderful and the baristas have the best customer service skills. Even as they got busy Kelly still asked everyone if they wanted their pastries warmed. The crème brúlatte shakerato is so good no other iced coffee is going to compare again. You can definitely tell everything in this place is made with love. I absolutely recommend

First time in and everything smells so good 🤩 homemade syrups?! Ok fancy. I got iced tea and chocolate croissants, both delish. Can’t wait to come back and try more!

The pumpkin caramel creme seasonal latte was DELICIOUS!! The smoked ham and Gouda croissant also had a great flavor. Staff was also super kind and helpful to navigate the menu!

The place itself is beautiful. Maroon themed and adorable sitting area. I tried the creme brule latte, and it was warm, smooth, semi sweet (how I like it) it also has the creme brule effect on top of the drink... that was delicious. The kitchen looks so clean and amazing. Staff are very approachable and friendly. Great place to do some work, quick coffee break, or just for a delicious baked good.

This cafe has a wonderful staff/owners and the best croissants I've ever had! I've tried all their croissants and adore them all: classic butter croissants, chocolate croissants, almond croissants, and even smoked ham and gouda filled! Their other pastries are great, too. And they make an awesome chai latte - my favorite drink! And, I absolutely love that they use eco friendly packaging. I hope this place stays in Elgin for a long time. We're so lucky to have them.

Cute, locally run and owned Coffee Shop with delicious Pastries. Very reasonable prices considering what breakfasts costs at a commercial coffee house. They have all kinds of coffee options, including ice coffee blended in a cocktail shaker. All of Sugar & Rhymes pastries and dessert options are delicious, but the Croissants are to die for. I've had chocolate, ham & cheese and plain butter. The almond must be just as delicious, because they're always sold out by the time I get there. Next time, I'll call and do an order ahead a few days in advance. They also will wrap up your pastries (or coffee) to go, with instructions on how to reheat and not burn them in your own oven. Slightly burned they're still delicious. A word of warning, they're so big they don't fit in all toaster ovens.

Nice coffee spot in downtown Elgin that I was glad to find this past Saturday afternoon. Very friendly baristas and a large menu full of the usual suspects and more. Ordered a Chili Chocolate iced latte after one the baristas gave me a rundown of what was in it.

The best local coffee shop!!! Workers are extremely charismatic and friendly. Wide variety of drink options and the pricing is very affordable. It’s a small shop so it’s more of a grab and go, but there are a few seats if you want to sip and enjoy your coffee in a ceramic mug. I definitely recommend this place if you’re in the area.
