Great place went here for the first time with a friend because I was recommended and I really liked the coffee and the donuts we got, the staff was very friendly and the atmosphere of the place was enjoyable. One thing I really liked was the fact that they donate money to charitable organizations. ππ½ππ½
Such a cute place! I stopped in shortly before closing so I didnt get a chance to really check the place out. Very cozy and bright! Perfect spot to meet a friend, have a meeting, work on homework, etc. Coffee menu is very unique but still has the traditional favorites for both coffee and tea. Cold brew was so good! Girls at the front were so friendly and quick to get our orders in. Cannot wait to come back to try more coffee drinks and check out the gift shop!
Love, love this place for its delicious coffees & tea as well as tasty home-baked goodies! They help bring help to give women (and men) employment all around the world by selling fair-trade goods made by formerly trafficked and abused people! Great items for simple meaningful gifts. Love Coffee Love People: Great store Great coffee+ shop and a great motto!
Chai tea Latte is fantastic (would give the drink 5 stars alone).I was planning to sit and be quiet in contemplation and thought, but the sign said the seats were reserved for chatting customers onlyβ¦.. so I went into their βthink spaceβ which felt like a cold room bare walled with a table that reminds you to limit your time so other ppl can sit in the think space.Their Apple cider Donut tastes like a jolly rancher, too bitterly in its over sweetness. WOULD NOT recommend this βtreat.β
Disappointed in refill policy. Ambience nice, coffee excellent.
Loved this space! Lots of cute gifts here with all brands that were local, sustainable, and/or charitable. Loved that they served infused water, and had quiet spaces. The coffee was excellent and the bakery items were tasty!
Love this place! Their lavender vanilla latte is to die for. The vibe is cool, cozy and very welcoming. In addition to coffee, tea and food, they sell a wide variety of cool artisan goods like bracelets and homemade candles. I especially love the owners mission to help women in developing countries and survivors of human trafficking, homelessness and addiction build better lives for themselves. The world needs more businesses like My Half of the Sky.
Charming place with fun trendy atmosphere. Cool local jewelry for sale. We had a few errors with our order and had to go back a couple times but in the end all was good and tasty.
10/10 recommend the chai latte in here! (Iced if itβs summer). The atmosphere was wonderful, the aesthetic was perfect and they have outdoor seating- (an added bonus with Covid and masks and whatnot.)Definitely going back!
Nice vibe, the americano was disappointing. Wouldβve been better off going to Marianoβs
My favorite coffee shop. The staff is wonderful. I go there 3x per week.
Crowded, stressful, the order was wrong, they charge you extra to sit in the quiet setting upstairs. What a racket. Overrated. Zero stars really.
Lots of variety with treat, tea, and coffee options. Pleasant staff, clean bathroom, interesting building set up in that you feel you are in someones older home converted to a coffee shop (which it probably was....).Interesting art work and really truly amazing wares for sale that support women and children in other countries find gainful employment and education. Stop by just to shop!
Im leaving this review purely in the spirit of helping a clearly well-intentioned local business improve. The cold brew I received was around 80% ice by volume. The coffee itself tasted watered down from the first sip, and had almost no caffeine kick. Im sorry to say Ive gotten a better cold brew from that national chain that everyone loves to rip on. Im willing to give them another shot next time Im in the area, but this wasnt a good first impression. Photo of my cup attached.
Delivered 16 gallons of milk to them from Costco via instacart(not organic) and tipped 2 dollars. Love people π€£
Lavender latte! Iβve been searching for someone to make it great and they did. They were so sweet to me and my baby while we waited.
The mask mandate is not present at this shop as there were many people ordering not wearing masks when they have a mandate on their door. Additionally, what isnβt present is friendly customer service from the girls working. I had received a 3/4 full 24 oz latte and when I asked if she could put more oat milk in it, she shrugged and said βI guess, sureβ. Also avoid the iced latte if you want a full cup of coffee worth the $7 paid. In all, the latte was sub par and made rushed as well as they cold brew my friend had. Love the cause they support, and hopefully when I return it will be better.
This shop deserves 5 stars for its social mission and lovely little gift shop in the front of the store. However, the Coffee is merely acceptable. Five and Hoek, nearby, is a far better coffee shop. However, if one isnt terribly fussy about the coffee, and loves being a part of something bigger when buying, My Half of the Sky offers coffee that is better than Starbucks, and with a wonderful message to boot.
One of the best tasting iced mochas Ive ever had! Great little shop in a cozy house, I love these kind of locations. Proceeds go towards a good cause, highly recommend.
Always great coffee, had a quiche today too, very good again !
Their lavender vanilla latte was awesome! Very fast service even though the line was long. Their quiche was great too!
Good coffee and fun things to purchase while supporting very worthy causes.
Very relaxed atmosphere and nicely decorated store .I really enjoy their tea selection, my favorite is called Morning MOJO i love it iced, hot or as a latte the tea is amazing.The homemade English Muffin Bread, Cinnamon Rolls ...are delicious!!They also have a nice selection of jewelry by Pure Vida and other fun earrings by other vendors!They offer think space seating rooms for business meetings or a place to your homework.The only down side is they are a bit more pricey than Starbucks for most items .
Iβm so glad I found this place! We opted for carry out even though they are open for indoor dining currently. It seemed like a really chill space with some rooms for teamwork so definitely keeping it in mind for the future. The quiche and cinnamon roll were delicious. The oolong was really well balanced, and didnβt need any sweetener even though it was a dark roast which was awesome. The beef empanada was so good! The London fog was nice but as a personal preference I would ask them to make it stronger next time. Will definitely be visiting again.
Delicious smoothy with plenty of gluten free options.
I love the atmosphere of the place and the coffee is very good. The espresso brownies are also delicious.
Dirty and rundown. Place needs to be demolished. Coffee was overly sweet.
Wonderful coffee, delicious baked goods. The business ethos is great. Lovely items in the shop. Their outdoor seating is plentiful. They have indoor work spaces as well.
Very yummy coffee and a very cozy and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere. Plenty of outdoor seating.
Delightful coffee shop. Coffee is good with interesting twists. Had a lavender vanilla coffee, was really good... It did have a flavor remiscent of fruit loops... In a good way. And the bread they use was quite possibly the best piece of bread I have ever had with a smear of avocado. So good.
If this place were to ever get a bad rating itβs because the person rating it is a sad individual. This place is a blessing! And the drinks are amazing!
Beautiful shop with great service and a comfortable, clean space to work!
Absolutely fantastic! Excellent service, super friendly staff, and excellent iced coffee. I also love that this shop is women supporting women. Cant get better than that! Do yourself a favor and order the Nutella stuffed waffle. You wont be disappointed.
Charged extra for light ice. Only asked because last time was mostly ice.
Yum, yum, yummy!!! The lavender vanilla latte is sublime. Loads of scrumptious baked treats. Enjoy!
Good food including gluten free items. Friendly baristas. Great local coffee and tea shop that gives back to the ommunity.
Great tea. Great place to meet a friend. Friendly and welcoming.
This is a lovely place and they have quality coffee and a lot of gift shop items which raise money to support victims of human trafficking and women. The coffee is on the expensive side and many tables forbid the use of laptops but i think its nice there is so much room meant for people to read and visit.
Great service, yummy drinks, & a great atmosphere! Also love the jewelry & trinkets you can browse as you wait. Love this place a lot.
Great place to get coffee with friends. Admirable mission.
A good option for coffee. If youβre looking for a place to study, this is it. They have many nooks and crannies and even private rooms for group study. They coffee is ok and they have many tea options. Super fast WiFi. Itβs also big on social justice and does a lot in giving back to the community. My go to place for studying and catching up with friends in the Wheaton area.
$8 for a large latte and now they charge extra if you ask for light ice
Very glad to see My Half re-open. I truly enjoy this place. The great food and coffee and extraordinary service. Will be so happy when it can be fully opened to enjoy the great atmosphere as well.
Fabulous little coffee shop that has a unique vibe. Coffee is good and the atmosphere is even better with nooks and crannies of a hundred year old home to enjoy. Gifts and crafts and pastries round out the offerings for this one if a kind cafe.
Love the place, awesome setup and menu
Hello Everyone,I had terrible experience at this place!! Please make your self a favor!! and dont give your money to this shop !! Because they dont practice what the preach!! Special there manager (Jenny) π€’ she is terrible ! The owner should consider looking on how she treats her customers!! I hope these opens everyones eyes ! On my personal experience here!!!! Please dont give your money π° to place were they dont practice what they preach!!! They are terrible!!! Just some heads up!!! π€’π± please make your self favored dont go there!!! Believe me!!!
If you want a place where you can enjoy a lovely handcrafted latte, chat with an old friend and support a good cause or two....this is the place for you! The atmosphere is just overall lovely and the baristas are very sweet. If you would like a suggestion, get the iced lavender vanilla latte. 12/10 would recommend. Wish I could rate 10/5 stars!
My favorite place to go and study with a friend or bring out of town guests to. The upstairs has several seating options including a separate room with a large table and a white board.They have many unique flavored beverages and treats. I love the chai latte with macadamia milk! The cookies and empanadas are always great.
Good food and coffee, cute spot. I love what it stands for. Cool items inside to buy with excellent ethics. Though, they could stand to get more eco-friendly cups etc.
Best spot for delicious coffee. Toffee nut is my favorite. And great place to unwind or work. Good people and cool vibes.
Great place :) and the staff is so friendly!!
Beautiful place with great coffee and other drinks and lots of wonderful things to eat.
My favorite coffee shop anywhere! Plus, the have great food and smoothies and lots of gifts that make double the impact - not only do they impact the person youre giving to but they support sustainable businesses for at risk individuals. Great place! They also have rooms that can be rented for meetings. I have held two board meetings here and everyone loved it. π
Electricity in the house was cut off so I had to go somewhere quiet to finish some work and make calls. Peaceful environment with ample private rooms and break out spaces, accompanied by a friendly staff and great pastries.
WOW!! A social entrepreneurship. Proceeds go to women in need rather than the business owners wallet. What a great concept. Great quality products and the profits support women who have overcame / in the process of overcoming adversities. I loved the coffee and the breakfast empanadas. Adorable shop. Cant wait to return and bring other friends. Pick up some cute earrings and next time I will buy one of the candles that supports young moms. Thank you for opening my half of the sky.
Great cafe, good coffee, tasty eats & they support women & kids with their profits.
I like this place for its charm. A place to relax. Was there today a really cool thing happened. Sun came through window with stained glass and it made rainbows on the floor. I like that you can access WiFi and they have designated areas with tables making it perfect to use laptops. I have only tried the Quiche Unfortunately, I found it dry and spongey. Will try something else next time. I will return, meeting friends there next week.
Great coffee and service. Will be returning!
Love My Half!! Drinks and food are always spot on, and their mission and support to women is absolutely breath taking!
Ive been to this lovely place a few times since it opened and every time I walk in there is something new. Its a large coffee/tea house that bakes its own pastries. In addition to several yummy tea varieties, they offer small batch coffee beans and espresso drinks. Taste the beef, egg and cheese or guava empanadas. Several types of dark chocolate bars. Bite size dessert cups. And many beautiful local handmade jewelry, candles, lotions, leather bags and more. I bought a gorgeous pearl cascade necklace for $25. Proceeds benefits women victims of violence and refugees.
Wonderful local coffee shop with delicious food and drinks that has mission dedicated to lifting others up and building community
This is very interesting place. I really enjoyed the design and the way they implemented the idea of this coffee shop. It worth to stop by and try it. A little pricey though.
Delicious teas, great space for coffee meetings. love their gluten free items too. everyone is always super nice!
So cute! this place is absolutely lovely, in a great location downtown wheaton. They have a wide variety of drinks, including an extensive milk selection for all your needs, and their mission is admirable. Everyone was incredibly friendly when we visited and the staff was lovely.
Great local coffee shop
Great atmosphere and the coffee is good. I got the lavender latte (not a huge fan of lavender) but I actually enjoyed it. Not too sweet.
My favorite place to meet people for coffee!! I usually get loose leaf tea, which is also good. As one not totally informed on all things coffee, I appreciate the little diagrams they have on what some traditional coffee items (americano, cappuccino, etc) actually contain. Theres lots of nooks if you want a quiet space. I always love my visits there!!
Very impressed with this coffee shop. Neat, clean, fast service. You can see them make your drink right in front of you without any obstructions. I had their breakfast enpanada and it was very filling and tasty. Coffee was good as well. They do have outdoor and indoor seating available. Beats going to a big name coffee shop.
I am so happy about the mission of this place--glad they care about women who are oppressed around the world and want to support them practically. This is reason enough to go! Definitely a coffee place--I will leave the coffee critiques to the coffee people. As a tea person, I can tell they dont have a very extensive knowledge of tea even though they do loose leaf (brewing temps/times, how to best sweeten it, etc).
This place is amazing. They have great coffee and everything sold there helps someone in need.
Great local coffee place with fun and innovative drinks, tasty food and a good cause. Nice vibe to hang out in too. Not a huge space so can get busy.
I enjoy the idea and mission of the place. Having gone now a handful of times, I can say its hit or miss. The pastries are good and theres at least a few more tea options than at Starbucks or RCR.However, for being a think space, my goodness theres more rules than at a library (and Im a librarian π). Kind of stymies the creative juices.Lets maybe agree to put half the rules on the back burner. That way, the staff can learn more about the menu and spend less time enforcing rules they dont seem particularly to believe are important.
I like this place a lot. It has cool work spaces and rooms you can use unless theyre reserved. Very tasty drinks and snacks.
This place is fantastic. Not only do they have fantastic coffee they have delicious food like empanadas and pastries. All sales go to benefit a great cause so your supporting both global and local causes. The shop is also organic and locally-sourced. So overall its pretty much perfect.
This was a fantastic place. Every single purchase goes to a great cause, for women who have struggled in multiple ways. Not only that this shop is set up inside of a home. There is plenty of seating upstairs and downstairs, and their drinks are phenomenal. I was truly so happy to pay for not only a good cause but s fantastic atmosphere. It felt like it was only me and the person I went with there, although there were a ton of people. Thats just how home like it was. Will be going again.
Great variety of coffee, espresso drinks, tea, and pastries. The quiche was delicious. Chill atmosphere with separate rooms for conferencing and work. Great outdoor space.
I love supporting a small business with such a great mission. Coffee is delicious, Iβve not tried anything else. Small gift type items for purchase. Itβs an old house so many different seating areas.
Very cute and bright place to grab a hot or cold drink and study or work. I love the upstairs work space!
I love this place...great coffee but more importantly, the work they are doing to serve women coming out of trafficking is inspiring! Do yourself a favor and go get something to drink/eat and do others a favor and buy something so that a portion can go toward loving others who have struggled deeply in life. Thanks for what you all do!
This place is so unique! I love that its built into a historical house from the area. They have a friendly and fast staff and great coffee selections
This place is so cute! They have great coffee, snacks, and free WiFi. What more could you ask for?! From someone who works from home most of the week, this place is perfect. They have Think Spaces, Team Collaboration rooms and open spaces to sit amongst others, if wanted.
The best coffee in Wheaton!
Im glad to support their anti trafficking mission and vision. Know that this place is small and crowded. The cinnamon roll I ordered was unevenly cooked.
Great coffee, tea, snacks and jewelry. Wow! and much more.
We ordered 3 cappuccinos cream only, vanilla, and lavender vanilla, all fantastic. Interested place to go.
My recommended food meme! Chi-Chaga-Chino (aka Chicago Latte) & Potato Quiche!No sugar, plant based and Keto?? No way!Delish!
Delicious drinks and spacious study rooms. I always forget how much I enjoy coming here. Never dissatisfied with the service.
Absolutely love this place! Not only do they have great coffee, the owners have great values.
The cappuccino was amazing, easing the briefing with friends. π
Great food, coffee, jewelry and causes.
Cozy and unique, with a boutique of fair trade goods made by female artisans. The toffee nut latte with almond milk gets 5 stars! Great place to meet up or getaway to study.
This is an incredible place to go and have meetings or to just have a chill coffee with a friend! If youre ever in town and need some coffee stop by. I personally suggest the Horchatta Latte, this drink made my day!
They have a great mission and I have always been able to enjoy a good cup of coffee here! I love the lavender vanilla lattes.
I was originally leery of this place, but it turned out to be quite good. I enjoyed my horchata latte, and there was a very good selection of coffee and tea beverages both hot and cold to choose from. They also had some very high quality baked goods. Savory empanadas among them, this is a great place to have a snack and a coffee with a friend or find a quiet corner to work.The reason it gets 5 stars instead of 4 is that the proceeds are supporting very good causes, helping those rescued from trafficking among others. I recommend giving them your custom.
