50 Best Coffee Shops near Blue Island

“First time here and I loved it! I came during that quiet time between lunch and after work. They have locally-made gelato! They have an AWESOME barista! I am really sorry I forgot to ask their name. Whoever was working Tuesday afternoon, you are great, thank you. They make their own syrups, y'all AND THERE IS WINE, by the glass or bottle and they're open til EIGHT! And there's Open Mic tomorrow (Wednesday) night!! Signups at 6:45!“

“This is clearly one of the last diners in Blue Island or surrounding neighborhoods. It was SO nostalgic inside, right down to the kinda-padded seats on the booths. The food is tremendous in taste and price and so was the service! I’m glad to see “staples” like this have survived and could give lessons in good old fashion dining. Thanks DeMars!💛“

“Lo mejor en café y nieve o un amuerso con familia o amistades LO MEJOR“

“Love their coffee and donuts! Excellent customer service.“

“We have been using this location for our school lunches for a few years and appreciate how reliable, clean and organized this restaurant is, especially working with the manager Linda. We recently encounter an issue with a different restaurant where our lunches wouldn't be fulfilled. We were in a major panic. I called Linda immediately and she was able to take our order. We are so appreciative of Linda and her staff!“

“I absolutely love the vibe at Afro Joe's. The beverages & food are always amazing. I order online, grab it & go when I have to keep it moving. But when I have the opportunity to sit and chill, it's a whole vibe and I LOVE IT! Great job Aisha & Kendall Griffin!“

“Delish coffee, superfriendly staff 💜☕️

I ordered a capp with an extra shot of espresso, oat milk, and their seasonal apple spice syrup. Perfectly balanced (I even forgot to ask for it half-sweet, like I usually do, but my coffee still tasted like coffee, not like straight sugar 🙌🏼 - much appreciated!!)

Coffee was quick to come up, and there’s plenty of street parking in this sparse industrial neighborhood.
Love it!“

“Best coffee I’ve ever had“

“Wonderful space for black people looking to share their art or make friends. I was immediately welcomed and made to feel comfortable. They do require food purchase but it’s worth it, the quesadillas came with this unique mango salsa I loved.“

“Amber Rose 5 stars ⭐️ Actually ANY of these drinks are 5 star. 10/10 for customer service!! You simply can’t go wrong with anything within this store“

“clean environment, friendly staff and AMAZING coffee ☕ 😋“

“Good place, good atmosphere— not too noisy, but not too uptight. Great staff too.“

“This is my first time here, and I have to say I absolutely love the atmosphere! It is so pretty inside and it's so clean. The staff was super nice.
The only negative thing that I could say was that it did take a long time to get the food even though we were the only ones in there and for what we bought it was really expensive. I thought we were going to get these like full sandwiches and they were these little tiny bitty appetizers.
We also ordered drinks the refreshers and they were so good. I highly suggest to get them with water not with lemonade because they are very sweet. But my first time there and I definitely will be going back. Also you can sign up for points and earn free food.
Good place!“

“One of the best local breakfast or lunch spots in town! I've been by a few times with friends over the last few months and have tried the avocado toast and a few other items. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and even offered us complimentary soups while we were waiting for our meals, which arrived quickly and tasted absolutely amazing. For the quality of the food, the prices are insanely cheap. The monster cookie is to DIE for. Highly recommend you stop in and check this place out if you need coffee or a good healthy morning or afternoon meal!“

“had an incredible afternoon tea experience with my Sorors today! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm, intimate, and inviting—perfect for catching up and enjoying a relaxing afternoon together. The food exceeded expectations—unlike most tea services, we actually left feeling full and completely satisfied. Our table selected the bourbon-flavored tea and a delicious exotic fruit blend—both were absolutely delightful! Just when we thought the experience couldn’t get any better, we were treated to the cutest little heart-shaped, turtle-like candy that was as tasty as it was adorable. This spot gets a solid 10 out of 10. I’m already looking forward to my next visit“
