Crema's Take
“Maple Leaf takes the unusual approach of treating food as seriously as coffee, and regulars rave that the lunch wraps and breakfast offerings outshine what you'd expect from a café. The riverside setting in St. Charles creates a genuinely warm atmosphere that works equally well for a solo coffee session or hosting a group event in their private dining room. Come here if you want a full meal experience with solid coffee, not a place to grab a quick espresso.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

I hosted my baby shower here in the main dining room & the aesthetic was just what I was looking for! The room can hold much more than the 20 guests that I had, but I enjoyed that it could feel small & intimate, while also allowing for more space if needed. Brooklyn was very…
I used to love this cafe and would stop by whenever I had the chance. I went this week with my friend and we ordered iced caramel lattes. When barista handed us our drinks and we tried it we both were getting sugar chunks in our mouth and coffee was also really bitter. We mixed…
