Kava Diem - Saint Charles

Just moved to the area and have been visiting local cafes/coffee shops and Kava Diem did not disappoint!My experience at Kava Diem was exceptional! Although some of our order was incorrect, the staff was very quick to correct any issues. The staff were also very friendly and treated my little ones so kindly. As others have mentioned, there is a little kid play area, which my girls loved. The views of the Fox River from inside and outside are beautiful. It was very clean and spacious indoor seating area and had a very calm vibe. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a bite to eat, a cup of coffee, a calm space to do work, or to sit, relax, and enjoy views of the river. Will definitely be coming back.Kid-friendliness: Kiddie corner with play kitchen and toysParking: Depending on the time of day, the parking lot may be full with the businesses next door.Dietary restrictions: Offered gluten free toast

I ordered an eggie veggie sandwich and an avocado toast. The sandwich came out and no avocado toast. The lady took the metal order number and left. I had to go to the counter and ask for it. The avocado toast, though tasty, was soggy. The sandwich was very light on egg. I also ordered a vanilla latte and received it iced. I assumed it would be hot. Nobody asked. I left a decent tip at the time of payment. I wish I could take it back. The price was considerably higher than other premium breakfast restaurants. If it was busy, I could begin to understand. There were only a few tables occupied while the other nearby brunch place was overflowing with a long wait. The rating was why I came here. Unfortunately, it didn’t fit the experience. The upside is the location, right on the Fox river. Beautiful

I can't say enough good things about the owner!! She went above and beyond to make sure our food was prepared right! I'm vegan and appreciate that all vegan items have their own grill! We love the coffee as well! Absolutely recommend Kava Diem!!!

I Loved this place. The coffee was delicious and I had a strawberry cake cookie that was really yummy. I did not try the other food but plan to return so I can. The atmosphere is great, it looks small when you walk in but it is really large when you walk around, there is a fireplace and outdoor seating with a river view.

This is a beautiful coffee spot along the river with a fireplace inside that has a roaring fire in the winter. They used to have a lot of gluten free pastries from Brown Butter bakery and that has sadly been discontinued now. Hopefully they will bring back those pastries as they were absolutely delicious and a wonderful addition to their coffee!
