Shaghf Cafe Villa park

This coffee shop and bakery is a true gem right in the heart of Villa Park. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, the staff is always friendly, and everything tastes fresh and delicious. Their coffee is perfectly brewed, and the pastries are amazing you can tell they’re made with care. Definitely one of my favorite spots in town!

I love going to these Middle Eastern cafes, the drinks and snacks are always unique. Less sweet than the American counterparts. For some reason, the American ones use way too much sugar. I like the artwork. They have plenty of tables, I believe they can be opened up more to have more room. There is a prayer area for Muslims. We got the hot habibi latte, lemon breeze strawberry, San Sebastián white, and South African pudding. The pastries/desserts are slightly more on the expensive side compared to other Middle Eastern cafes I’ve been to. Drinks were both great. Both pastries/desserts were not too sweet. You get a good size piece. None of them were dry or bland. Customer service was good. They were friendly and answered any questions we had.

I’m surprised this place isn’t more busy! I’ve been to the is location 3 times since they opened and have tried the watermelon refresher, date drink, and double shot Spanish latte. All were delicious, but the Spanish Latte was my personal favorite. The space itself is beautifully decorated with murals all over the walls. The staff is away very welcoming and kind. Two notes are that 1) the desserts don’t look very appetizing at all- two times I intended on ordering a dessert but nothing seemed appealing. I would suggest they find a new dessert source (I can recommend a few!). Secondly, of comparable coffee shops, I would say their prices are of the highest. For two double shot Spanish lattes I paid nearly $17- the price of a good meal. I suggest they lower their prices and offer better dess

Such a pleasant experience. I wanted a nice rich cup of coffee at 8:00 PM. Options are Starbucks, McDonalds, DD and gas station coffee. I would rather go without anything than have any of their offerings. I don’t care for any of them. And then I found Shaghf Cafe! Communities need more places like this. The Turkish coffee was exactly what I needed. Rich flavor and something new for my palette. Loved it. I got a waffle pastry with chocolate. They made it fresh. It was amazing. Great service as well.

We enjoyed this cafe. The coffee was great and the atmosphere was good. We didn't have any deserts, but we will try them next time. They definitely looked well made. The young staff were cheerful, polite, and welcoming, which is a big plus. They took the time to make sure we were happy with the order and service. I highly recommend the coffee and atmosphere in this place.
