“I travel to the area for work and always love coming here! ♥️♥️“

“Anam Cara Cafe was the perfect location for our family reunion on Black Friday! We were able to reserve a private room, so the little ones had free range to run around and not bother other patrons and the adults could comfortably hear each other and catch up. The staff was so friendly and helpful throughout the entire process, from setting up the reservation to not rushing us out at the end of our gathering. They gave us great and attentive service without hovering and interrupting our conversations. Food was excellent and served promptly. Would definitely recommend! We're already talking about meeting there again when the Wisconsin and Chicago sides of the family meet up the next time.“

“Any time anyone asks me for my favorite coffee place I send them here. They've got my favorite espresso of any of the local roasteries and I've never had a bad experience here.

“If you’re looking for a local spot that truly goes above and beyond, I can’t recommend Glenview Grind enough. We’ve used them for teacher gift cards every year, and it’s become one of our favorite traditions—such an easy and appreciated gift. This year, we also had them cater breakfast for Teacher Appreciation Week, and they absolutely exceeded expectations. The entire process—from ordering to pickup—was seamless. Their team was incredibly organized, friendly, and genuinely helpful every step of the way. They even assisted with loading everything up, which made a huge difference during a busy morning. The food was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented, and the customer service truly stood out. You can tell they care about their customers and take pride in what they do. Highly, highly recommend supporting this wonderful local business“

“💕 it! Been going in Florida forever. Glad we finally have them here! Very clean, great covid precautions. Food and smoothies were really good!“

“Nice vibe, extensive menu with many unusual but interesting avocado toast options with the Mexican and Caprese that we had were excellent. Nice indoor and outdoor spaces to eat and they bring the food to your table. Staff is pleasant and accommodating help. Prices that are not bad considering this is Winnetka, great choice especially for breakfast.“

“Inside, outside, early night, late night, no matter when or where, it’s always fantastic, every single time. The spicy feta is great, the chicken kabobs, martinis, coffees, have never had anything not fantastic!“

“CJ:
I stopped in for a simple black coffee once and it was great. It is very modern on the inside and the coffee is expensive for what I got, but good staff and short wait time. The study area has a good view of the road so you can take a short break from your work and enjoy the atmosphere.“

“Delicious, homemade and low in sugar, just the way I like it! But the standout here is the incredible service. Our waitress was hands down the friendliest server I’ve met during my trip to Chicago, across both high-end and casual spots. Coming back tomorrow for breakfast again. Highly recommend Original Greenbay Cafe!“

“The crepes were delectable! The service was prompt, and the food was fresh.“

“This place was great. Easy parking (during a wee day), friendly and patient staff, excellent Ube muffin. (I ate so fast I didn’t take a picture). I got a Malibu smoothie. It was ok, seemed like there was a good bit of ice in it. I also got a Skinny Genes juice. It was WONDERFUL!!! Looks like the company is changing their name to Gimme Cafe as of July 6th 2026 on their website. Updated from previous review on 2026-07-06“

“Great time. Good service and food and drinks.“

“Thanks to Emma’s Bagels for super fresh bagels and generous portion fish/salad trays for our grandson’s brit this morning.“

“Best scones! Excited to visit in February!“

“I work with many chambers and I must say The Winnetka-Northfield Chamber is the best. The ladies who work in the Chamber are so upbeat and always friendly. Terry has a very unique gift of guiding shoppers with retailers and connecting people with both Winnetka and Northfield.“

“We were looking for breakfast while on the Highway. This place was 10 minutes out of our way, but well worth it! This was the best French Toast and the staff worked together like a well oiled machine. They were all so friendly and efficient.“

“Great products but why is the store not addressing the mask mandate? I was in shopping yesterday and saw more then 10 people without a mask on.“

“Some of the best pastries I have ever had! I have been there several times now and plan to keep going. Service has always been quick and efficient. Staff is polite, cafe is kept very clean, there is a little play area for kids, and they even have Mahjong tables you can rent for free! I plan to play Hong Kong style with some friends in September. I am so grateful for this cafe.“

“I’m not usually one to write reviews, but the staff here at Starlite Cafe is absolutely lovely. Every time I walk in for lunch I am greeted with a warm smile, a sense of community, and most importantly the smell of their buffalo chicken wrap. The staff is so friendly and service + food quality is that of a 3 star Michelin restaurant. Every day I ask for extra pickles and am given an absolute boat load. I couldn’t ask for a better restaurant to have in my office. I love the Starlite Cafe.“

“my God the egg roll and bi col express..you'll miss the half miles of your life..pag di no Natikman...believe me....“

“Went there for the 1st time last Saturday. The service and the food were both excellent. Amber was on top of everything and was very knowledgable about the menu items. Husband had a ‘skillet’ breakfast and I had the granola/berry French toast. We left very little food and we didn’t need much to eat afterwards. The food was filling and kept us going until late afternoon. I recommend this restaurant and will be back! Highland Village Texas location“

“I stopped by on an early Sunday afternoon to get some work done on my laptop, and the place was packed. Not to mention, the parking lot was full but there is 30 minute and 2 hour parking a short walk away, so don’t get discouraged if you’re driving here! I ordered a small iced latte and HT breakfast sandwich, and both were sooo good. I really want to try the wrap next time I come here. The espresso has an original flavor and the sandwich was simple with light ingredients but was also very tasty. The atmosphere is very lively so I didn’t stay to study for long since it was busy and booming with conversation, but I can’t complain! It’s lovely to see everyone enjoying their time here as much as I did. I even shared my table with two lovely ladies because they asked so nicely and who am I to refuse? lol. very nice community feel and staff is super helpful and kind.“

“The pancakes are delicious 😋“

“Very good food and reasonably priced“

“Amazing place! Delicious onion soup!!!!l love it 😍“

“I have gone to many different Panera's and this one is by far the best. Service, food, and the manager was over the top accommodating. I had to change the pick up date and he step right up and took care of it. Couldn't be happier, will use them again!!!!“
