Cup of Dreams Coffee and Tea - Paoli, Pennsylvania

This is the best place to stop and visit nestled in the heart of Chester county , a very nice suburb of Philadelphia so this is a must see for all fellow travelers, it’s a very quiet ,calm and good neighborhood, very clean, I shot pictures so you could see the area, and the menu. A very nice aspect of this particular place is , if , for instance , like most today, your working remotely and need a space to work out of, they have a private dining room space with tables ,that may be pre-booked to have a business meeting or a private conference . your laptops can be set up on all the tables and the meeting can be catered with with food and beverages, by the owners. All travelers should know that this is a midway or half-way point from Philadelphia to Lancaster County, and it is beautiful out here, antiques , china , silver, and the Amish in the bordering Lancaster County really nice farms, covered bridges on rural country roads in this same shopping center you have Primos Hoagies for an excellent Italian sub or Hoagie, you have Plato’s Closet to find a new outfit, it’s one of the best thrift shops with new or very gently used clothing, and if you are in the mood for an alcoholic beverage TJ’s is also in this shopping center excellent bar , one of the best around., and if Nudy’s cafe a breakfast place is also here enjoy JC

This is by far of the best coffee shop I’ve ever been to in my entire life. The owner is as genuine and gentle as they come I highly recommend everybody coming here and there should be no other coffee shops besides this one. As a consumer and a business owner, I question spending money at locations but this location I would never question spending a dollar. If I could leave 20 stars I would their hot chocolate is the only drink that’s allowed inside my Audi R8.

Walked in, very nicely decorated and super clean. Seems like a cozy place, they play relaxing music while you sit and eat. There was plenty of seating areas as well. The staff were friendly and the food was fresh and delicious. I'm one sucker for avocado so I had to get it on my breakfast sandwich, definitely one of the best I've had. It was a plain bagel with Egg, cheese, and avocado mash. I also got a Sakura rose milk tea (grande) with green tea and tapioca pearls. I then got mango pudding which was a good combination of bitter and sweet.

I decided to stop in and get a drink while I was waiting for the train, and I am so happy I did. Everything about this place was pleasant. I loved both my latte and breakfast sandwich. On top of that I was able to get some work done here!

I was so surprised to see the bad reviews. I’ve been going there for a while now and the owner Jen is kind and friendly. She also makes good drink recommendations. This place has great boba, tea, coffee, milk tea, smoothies, they do it all. All the baristas I’ve met there are great. Not to mention it’s such a nice area to study, I get lots of homework done there and there’s a printer available too. The drinks are always so delicious and the background music and ambience is relaxing. This is a locally owned business owned by a great family. I’ll definitely continue coming back!

It's a shame that the experience was so bad. I ordered a chai latte, toasted bagel with cream cheese and 2 pre-made pastries. I waited inside for 25 minutes. When I approached the owner about my order, she said that it was half finished. I don't know what that means. When I ordered they certainly weren't busy. While waiting, I heard a customer explain that the food he ordered tasted well, but was so hard that he couldn't even bite it. The owner spoke to him and offered to remake the item and give him a discount the next time he came, but the person just asked for a refund. The owner would not give a refund and stated that she makes these all the time. I also saw a boy sitting waiting a long while for an online order. His mom had to come in and speak to the owner. The owner claimed the order only came through when he asked why it wasn't ready. The mom ended up saying they had to come back to pick it up. Another mom and daughter waited a long time for 2 milk teas and 2 breakfast sandwiches. When they finally got them, they were missing a sandwich. The mom said she could only wait 5 more minutes. I told the owner that I had to leave for an appointment and come back. When I returned at almost an hour after I initially ordered, my order was finally ready. All of that, for my chai latte to be so-so and my husbands bagel (which they asked if I wanted toasted and I said yes) was not even toasted! I don't know if they were grossly understaffed that day or what, since this was my first visit, but I will not be going back.

Really great vibe and excellent coffee. The croissant was dry and really not good at all but they aren't called Cup of Dreams Coffee, Tea, and Croissants so I can't fault them too much. My kid has had their bubble tea and said it was excellent, she's something of a fanatic when it comes to bubble tea so I trust her judgment. Overall good joint and I'll be back to try more coffees!

(Seriously though, guys, get a different supplier for your baked goods. They aren't doing you any favors😬)

We ordered a chai latte, 2 already made pastries and a toasted bagel with cream cheese. It took an hour and when we finally got everything my bagel wasn't even toasted. Other customers had similar experiences while we were there with food quality and timing with one person who could not physically eat their sandwich.
