“This place is such a hidden little gem. I had the Mediterranean salad w chicken and it was DELICOUS. The salad ingredients were so fresh and full of flavor and the chicken was juicy! My fiancé had the pork belly gyro plate and he said it was amazing! The servers were very attentive and kind. Will be back “
“Look you go to one Panera you basically went to them all. Food is the same. Service is generally similar. The only reason why I writing a review for this one is they redecorated and it is HORRIBLE. The colors, the patterns are brutal. They had a wood barrier that separated the register / waiting area from the dining room. They tore it down. Horrible idea for a couple reasons. This was a 5 star review before. Oh well.“
Mediterranean • $$
“Foodwise, is truly a wonderful story, somebody in the kitchen knows what to do and that translates all the way to our braines stirring waves of good sensations.Their turkish culture habits, the hours limitation for certain types of food, do not always overlap with other's schedule or expectations. The staff is very polite and forthcoming but that's so much they can do.The atmosphere is a bit bizzare, the music for example, is not in tune with the specific, the way that the tables are set, suggests rather a train fare than a regular restaurant.Their sweets shop however, is there to take away all possible clouds and make your day.Parking: Plenty of parking“
“Cozy place also can get flavored coffees. We shared a House crepe and the four of us had combos. I only tasted the Mexican combo and I will try it next time. Lots of fresh fruit came with the crepes, waffle and french toast. Savory crepes are tempting to try as well. I tried nice BBQ crepe in Vermont last year and liked it. Savory crepes are good for lunch and dinner. Managers were very friendly.“
“I just had my very first order from Sweet Reserve Bakery and I am completely in love! I ordered a variety. the cookie butter in a jar was probably the best dessert I've ever had! so delicious, perfect serving. super reasonable prices! 5 stars, 4thumbs up!“
“Food is delicious, but on the more expensive side for breakfast. Service once seated and fast and great!However, they will not seat out if you do not have your entire party ready. And EVERYONE will ask over and over if everyone is there and demand it. If they are not counting the amount you had on your reservation, they will rebute it against you. The asking and verifying the party can be done in a more respectable manner.I understand that they want to turn the tables as quick as possible, but the customer service can be applied to make it less aggressive.“
“I love stopping here when I'm picking up food from one of the other stores. Everything we have tried so far is absolutely delicious! Their desserts are not too sweet... just the perfect amount! My personal favorite is the fluffy cheese cake! My kids love the oreo cake cups and the strawberry shortcake cups! Can't wait to try the other desserts! HIGHLY recommend!“
“Lily's cafe is such a cute breakfast spot! The food was delicious and was out very quickly, the service was great and everything came out perfectly! It is a bit on the smaller side so I would bring no more than 4 people. But I loved eating here, a great hidden gem! We had the stuffed French Toast and it was delicious!“
“I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the kebab with the mixed sauce and I have to say it was delicious. My husband had the lamb and it was also very good. We ordered drinks the passion empress was so good and refreshing. The service was tremendous and the atmosphere was great. I am so glad that we discovered this place what a gem with European food. Simply delicious. Will definitely go back.“
“One of the best coffee roasters in the western burbs, and definitely my favorite coffee shop to work from. Their signature and seasonal drinks are great, plus this location also serves cocktails. Highly recommend!Parking: Parking is ample, but can be a bit tricky due to the layout of the building.“
“We came here to warm up and get a midday snack since we were in the area. We came an hour before closing and there were still plenty of baked goods available. There was also plenty of seating and it was clean inside. I had a blackberry brownie and a blueberry basil matcha latte. I typically dislike sweet drinks so I was hesitant to order the latte. However, it wasn't overly sweet and the flavor was interesting (in a good way). The blackberry brownie was rich and also delicious. My child had a big chocolate chip cookie and devoured it instantly. I wish we came for lunch since there were intriguing menu items but we will be back if we are in the area!“
“The best hollandaise sauce I’ve had. Ever.It’s made in house every day. And it’s PERFECT!I could wrap myself in it lol.It’s that good.The food is wonderful. All fresh.But the sauce. Unforgettable.Whenever I’m in Chicago, I come here for it.“
“Chopped steak and eggs are delicious. The crepes were also amazing. We had a very attentive and polite young man as a server, and he was outstanding. It's not fancy and seems to be family owned. It's a very comfortable place for us. My boys love food and they give you plenty.“
“My husband and I have been coming here for years. The owners, Chris and Nikki and the bartender, Monica are always welcoming and take good care of us. Nice atmosphere, good company, lots of tvs if you want to watch the game, great music playing in the background. The food is always very good and freshly made. Some of our favorites are the chicken kabobs, the Jerry's Special, and the burgers, which are excellent! Half price martinis on Wednesdays with a long list of options to choose from. We celebrated my husband's 50th birthday there and they were very accommodating and everyone had a great time!“
“Loved the service and food. It is a very small cozy location, although I was told they will be moving across the street and expanding their seating. The staff was fantastic, I was there with my wife and baby and they were all very friendly. We will definitely be back.“
“I stopped by BlackBerry market on yesterday and the atmosphere was busy but flowed smoothly. The smell of coffee was invigorating and I got the drip coffee , a chocolate chip cookie, iced peppermint coffee and a raspberry lemon muffin!! Service was smooth and effective, the breakfast items were yummy and fresh!! The coffee of the coffee!! Strong yet tranquil!! Fresh drip is self serve!! Loved that! The iced peppermint coffee was just what I needed !! Let me say this.. after breakfast and coffee.. I came home cooked a full dinner and washed clothing and was done before 1pm! lol energy!!!! Definitely will go back and recommend!!“
“The four stars is for the restaurant itself. This review is regarding a waitress they have working there, Kate. She was a horrible waitress. I asked for a Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi, whichever they have and she told me they have "Mexican Coke" what the hell is that?! I said, you don't have Diet Pepsi, she said yeah we do, I was like well that's what I asked for.She was not attentive and literally forgot about us sitting in the back. I had to get up and go ask someone if she was still there! The guy I asked said she was still there and he would send her back and even then she took a bit to come back to the table. The place wasn't even crowded. Anyway, Kate finally comes and takes our to go order, since we wanted to take some food home too. Comes back with the to go food and checks, there were three of us and she brought three separate checks, great! Well we tipped according to what we felt she deserved (even then, she actually got more than what she deserved). Also by the way, anytime we go out to eat, we are VERY generous tippers, but do tip accordingly.I go to the washroom and come back and she was at the table talking to my sister and when I walked up, I heard her saying, she left me 10% and you left me 18% and she left me 15% and I just wanna know why? Was there something wrong with my service? She was legit upset! I said to her wait, you're actually questioning your tip? She kept saying that she wanted to know if there was something wrong with the service, but she knows what she was doing. I honestly never in my life have ever had anyone do something like this, I was shocked! Not to mention there were other people sitting around and she was pointing at each of us telling us what we gave her for a tip! It was the most absurd thing! The audacity!So she finally walks away and I go ask for the manager, who happened to be the guy that I asked if she was still there. His name was Sam and he was very nice and very apologetic, he said he was embarrassed and that he would let the owner know. I sure hope he did because employees like this (speaking of employees like that, there were a couple of them behind the deli counter giving us some of the hardest looks, they must be friends!) are going to drive away customers! But I do have to say, the food is amazing and it is a great place!“
“I cannot speak highly enough of the quality, goodness and the richness of the products and the pure heart of the staff.. but I will! The shop + staff is truly wonderful and amazing in every sense of the word. From the design of the Matcha bowls, to the very unique one of a kind savory flavors of a variety of snacks and chocolate. Face cleansers, plant based protein shakes, dark chocolate with healing herbs, tea sets, oils, herbs. A plethora. I felt so happy stepping into the shop. I highly recommend trying a bit of everything. There is so much to choose throughout the whole shop like the bowls.. Everything is high end quality, reasonably and fairly priced and sourced. The authenticity of the energy and products of this shop is real. The lanyards are super cute. The merch items are beautiful. If you in the area, or wanting to add this place to your must stop to see, please stop by, bring a friend and explore together what is the wonderful world .. of Wonderful Matcha. Also! It brought me a huge smile to know of the organic items they have and how warm and inviting the staff who work here are. The whole process of seeing my drink made, brought me tears of joy to be transparently honest. It reached the fondness of the deepest parts of my heart with such wonder and joy. Izzy even shared knowledge about matcha making. Which I loved and appreciated learning. Thank you Wonderful Matcha for bringing these items to us Thank you for your welcoming inviting spirits. Thank you for being in the community. This is my joy place and I’ll be stopping by regularly. AND THEY HAVE AN OPTION FOR BIRTHDAY GIFT BOX MAKING. Just name your price and the staff creates beautifully put together high quality gift boxes to gift to your friends and family. AND THEY HAVE NATURAL HERB TEAS!!!“
“Nice atmosphere, excellent service, and good prices/value. Not a ton of savory vegetarian options. Most meat free stuff are the super sugary items. Also, the coffee situation is in desperate need of an upgrade. Tasted like nothing, it was just hot brown water.“
“Breakfast food and more ELEVATED! From bacon to drinks and juices, from organic eggs to gourmet bread and jam, chicken sausage - the details have been thought out when it comes to flavors. Somebody put some thought into how to make quality dishes!We will be back even if we have to drive a bit to get here.“

“I just wish I took photos but no biggie because I will be back. For 40 dollars we got two huge plates, an appetizer and drinks. These plates consisted of beef and steak also! You simply do not go out to eat for that price anymore. Prices good, cute little cafe, food taste, quality, portion is PHENOMENAL. Never in my life have I had a more tender meat than the shish kabob. Everybody on staff is so friendly and accommodating. They get so busy!!! So many people in and out and I see why. Eisaa thank you so much!! You are a beautiful person with a wonderful business. Shawarma and middle eastern cuisine is my absolute favorite and I could attest this is one of the best places I have ever been. So good on every level.“
“I have been here a few times to dine in and service has always been great. The past couple of weekends I have opted for takeout, and it has always been ready earlier than expected and super fresh. The portion sizes are pretty big for the price. I would definitely recommend this place, I think it's really delicious and worth the wait, when there is one“
“Waitress stands around talking to other employee. You wave at her to come over and she stands and stares at you. You actually had to tell her to come over to table. Never came back to ask how it was. Told her we want nothing else just the bill. Waited and had to ask for bill again. Not impressed.“
“this place exceeded in customer service and definitely very please with how clean the place was. we even went over and thanks the women that was cleaning and wiping things down immediately after kids were doing with it. hand sanitizer was everywhere. overall great experience at the mount prospect location. thank you to the amazing staff.“
“This is a family favorite! We go here often on weekends, and suggest it to others when they are looking for a new breakfast restaurant in the area! The million dollar bacon and bacodo omelette are two of my favorite. The shrimp and grits was a seasonal dish that I tried recently, and it was really good!“
“This place is so cool! What an awesome atmosphere and experience. It was wild coming back to the area that I grew up in to visit my parents and find a place that felt like it should have been here all along.Great coffee and free old school/classic arcade games, along with board games and cider/beer options too. What more could you ask for?“
“Somewhat quiet place to get a meal. Tried their shakshuka and was pleasantly surprised with how good it tasted. The staff were incredibly hospitable and were very helpful with answering questions. Their house made jam was also amazing and went really well with the English muffin.“
“Oh, that was a nice experience with my daughter. Super friendly stuff, fast service, great selection of drinks. The only BUT ... not so fresh salad served with my omelet (frittata). Trust me, on the top look great, but as soon as you took first leaves out, the old come to your view. So.... with this being said, skipp "fresh" greens.“
“These days I'm not sure a bakery can really deliver everything one'd hope for in the past. Lezza has a great variety of bakery products, and you'll find some of them to be very reasonably priced. I love the lemon knot cookies and the Italian ice, and you'll find traditional cookies here too as well as danishes and donuts. There are very few independently owned places anymore with variety and low-cost options for treats and coffee, but this is one of them!“
“I decided to visit this cafe because of the high reviews. I'm certainly glad that I did. The food was all delicious but what really sets this place apart is the service. Mimi is the nicest lady. She greeted my children warmly. She is very attentive and kind. You can tell she takes pride in her restaurant and making sure you leave in a better mood than you arrived. I'd give the service 10 stars if I could.“
“The name is slightly misleading, as they are not open outside of hosting events.Saw a local artist there and was very impressed with the venue. Very atmospheric and with a pretty good sound system. They have good lighting and smoke effects as well.The venue does do a lot of shows and poetry and art stuff. So check their calendar to see what they offerOnly complaint is that the refreshments are pretty overpriced. However, they got you and what else are you going to do? The tea was actually very good however. Would recommend even at the high price pointVegetarian options: They offer eesatz dairy free milksParking: Parking lot in front of the cafe is sure by other businesses and is kind of small. There is additional parking around the corner. Not too far of a walkWheelchair accessibility: People in wheelchairs might have an issue as there are a lot of tables in the hallways are kind of cramped“
“My husband and I had a late breakfast/early lunch there today and we were "wowed!" Our server Liz was so pleasant and attentive, and our food was great! My breakfast quesadilla was very flavorful and ample in size (plus it came with sides of sour cream, guac and salsa). Half of it came home with me. My husband's sandwich (Glen Forest) was grilled chicken with bacon, cheddar cheese and bbq sauce on sourdough bread. It came with a cup of soup and he opted for the chicken noodle which was hearty and delicious. The fries were fantastic (the double fried kind) and he had leftovers as well. We would both HIGHLY recommend this restaurant!!“
“I have had a great experience since day one. Everything I have ordered has been great. Employees are super friendly. Workouts are awesome!Kid-friendliness: My daughter had the bubble waffle and she loves them! This is a lot healthier for her since she does dance she has to get her protein in. She loves all the girls that work there.“
“My FAVORITE coffee spot. The most delicious coffee I can find in the entire area. I moved to Westmont from Carol Stream and I was on the hunt for a go-to coffee shop for MONTHS! Once I found this place, I don't go anywhere else. Delicious and very quick service.“
“Best breakfast spot around, we've been going here for years.On a recent visit we had the nicest waitress who was very efficient getting our coffee refiled and our breakfast out in a timely manner.The staff is very friendlly.Omelettes we ordered were delicious.Discount on bill if you use cash instead of credit card.“
“Prior to entering the restaurant we stood at the doorway entrance to browse the menu. While standing there, a very polite gentleman from the management team walked over and encouraged us to give it a try.I can say that we were not disappointed. The food and the service was excellent. Our meals were prepared as expected and with little wait time.“
“The young guy that helped us was extremely nice and polite.. He waited for my kids to chose their ice cream flavors and did not rush them at all.. ice cream we got and paletas were delicious! Fresas con crema were good too! Will definitely come back!“
“Came here in the middle of the day during a weekday, so it was pretty empty. That also mean we got served very quickly. The store had a cute wall and seating along the wall, but no tables. So it might be a little awkward if you have a large group. The drinks were pretty good though, we got the brown sugar milk tea everything was decent. Definitely not the best boba I've had, but the pearls were decently chewy and the flavor was decently good. My friend enjoyed his smoothie as well. Overall a pretty solid boba place. I'd come back again.“
“The flatbread here is so delicious. If you need a quick snack or breakfast before hitting on the train or going somewhere, definitely check this place out. The fresh juice is refreshing and delicious. I can't wait to go back and try other items on their menu.“
“After driving past Elijah's in the mornings for the last few months I finally decided to stop in and give it a try (you should always try to support local). I ordered a large Black Coffee with a shot of espresso, I even mentioned to the guy making my coffee that it was my first time here and he was polite and said Welcome. (When was the last time you heard someone say welcome?) The girl behind the counter asked if I wanted anything else and I asked If they made there Scones fresh and she said yes we bake daily. I bought a variety to bring to the gig for the crew this morning. My Coffee was made exactly the way I make it at home and the Scones were still warm and made me feel like I was on Arthur Avenue at Morrone's pastry in the Bronx waiting in line for them to come out of the oven fresh. I must give Elijah's Coffee 5 stars today and recommend it to everybody and I will now be a customer. Thank you for keeping that real original old school home town vibe in a Corporate jungle of garbage we are forced to deal with in this world today. Elijah's Specialty Coffee“
“Give my girl Victoria a raise, employee of the month, or some sort of recognition. I am 8 months pregnant and she accommodated me while being the only waitress on the floor. I didn’t wait long for my food or drinks even though she was taking care of online pickup orders and customers inside the restaurant (about 30) She is a phenomenal waitress. She is kind. She is what many restaurants look for and jelly cafe is lucky enough to have her. Also, the Spanish omelette was great!“
“This is not a bad review. The food is good. They no longer serve Bougatsa or Baked Oatmeal. Disappointing. More disappointing was being charged $1.79 for extra gravy on my hot turkey sandwich. We were told that the owner/manager believes that the amount of gravy on the hot sandwich is sufficient. It was not enough as far as I was concerned and maybe others feel the same. I mean ....... it's a little scoop of gravy???“
“Eat here a few times per week. Can’t go wrong with any dish, but my favorites are the Breakfast Burrito (the pickled jalapeños they add are a nice touch) and the BLT. Staff is always incredibly friendly and helpful. 10/10 would recommend. Price point is very reasonable.“
“Beware this place may become addictive for donut lovers. I think once you visit you will be visiting again for sure! I stopped by to grab just a couple donuts but ended up buying a dozen and a half. I couldn't decide what flavor donuts to buy so I bought three flavored donut including maple/bacon, snickers, blueberry dream and plain. They are mini sized donuts that are made fresh in shop. I also bought a large cold brew with milk which had a good flavor. The lady that helped me was very patient while waiting for me to decide on which donuts to buy. The atmosphere is friendly and seems to be popular with a lot of local people. I will be back for sure! I want to try a few more of the flavored donuts. There is a place to sit outside and a walk up window for a quick stop and shop. They apparently have a lunch as well which includes a hot dog, chips drink and donuts (see menu board photo). Overall, this little donut shop is a great addition to the shopping area near the train stop and for locals.“
“I originally saw this place on Tik Tok was super excited to see it, food was good the boba was amazing the cups are super adorable i do plan on keeping mine the workers are super nice the only problem was that there were so many people so i waited almost 10-15 min for my boba tea it couldve been that i went on a weekend but al in all i loved it i would totally go again“
“It was such a tasty lunch! We were here for the 1st time and nice lady at the register helped us out with choosing a burger. I won’t be able to eat a whole, so we asked about just 1 but cut in half + fries side and coleslaw. You should definitely try their sauces with fries!! It tastes something like a thousand islands sauce, but I think they make their own from scratch. Overall this portion fed us 2 (me and my boyfriend) fully!! Great place, will be coming back!“
“Love this place!! So many wonderful soups, salads and sandwiches for a sit down lunch, and then frozen meals to take home. Try the iced tea! It doesn't need any fixings because it's delicious as it is. Its interior is bright and cheerful. Friendly service! Lots of gluten free and vegetarian selections!“
“AMAZING DRINKS!This was one great find for us. We got Taro slush and Mango yogurt slush with lychee chewy jelly. The drinks tasted great. The girls at the service desk were very nice and helpful. The place has a cool vibe and lots of people attracted to their drinks/food. We would definitely try come to try more options.“
“I work at Lyons Township High School right across the street! I treated my coworker for her birthday. We ordered the Deluxe Skillet and a BLT Wrap, order was ready at the specified time.., friendly greeting when I arrived. Everything was really good, my BLT wrap was loaded with bacon! It came with a soup and a side I chooses frost fruit.“
“Really enjoyed this unique coffee and gelato place. Not only was the latte perfect, but the gelato was also really fresh and they had plenty of flavors. I saw others getting Nutella crepes that also looked amazing. Will most definitely come back!“
