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!“

“i had an oat iced mocha from here, and it was absolutely scrumptious. obsessed with the fact that they put quads in their iced drinks … they know their shit fr ! the barista was also v kind :) i loved their hair & piercings and we had a mini convo ab mine lol, it was a great experience!!“

“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 ☕ 😋“

“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!“

“Very nice and clean place, the owner was kind and welcoming I most definitely will be back😘“

“Neat place in Hyde Park for coffee and mingling. Thank you for such a great neighborhood shop and such lovely crafted food and drink!“

“Pekoe and Bean recently catered our event, and we had a great experience! They were able to accommodate us when we needed to make a change, and I could not be more grateful for that. Our guests loved the food! We ordered sandwiches, scones, and mini deserts. Everything was fantastic! Staff was also super friendly and helped me load everything in my car. Thank you so much. Highly recommend!“

“First time here and I will be back. Really liked the ambiance and food. The food seemed really fresh. I had the avocado toastband the bread and avocado was so soft and rich. I also had some tea and was was surprised how large a small cup was. Lastly I liked the ambiance and neighborhood feel.“

“I stopped by today and tried the Shortcake Latte—easily one of the best specialty drinks I’ve had in a while. It was super smooth, sweet in the right way, and really unique.

Rami took my order and was great the whole way through—friendly, fast, and made the drink perfectly. The place has a nice vibe too, so it’s definitely somewhere I’ll come back to.“

“Best espresso martinis in Oak Lawn. Excellent service, adorable decor, perfect spot to sip on a delicious drink, eat a wonderful appetizer, and catch up with friends.“

“I’d always swing by to get my “to go” Iced Latte with an extra shot of Espresso here. The ambiance is great! The staff is friendly!“

“This place is a sleeper that makes a great garlic chicken salad sandwich on a dutch crunch bread.

A dutch crunch bread, when baked, has a pillowy inside but the exterior is a crispy crackled crust that looks similar to the bark og a tree/log. And the crunch is second to none!!! This should be used on all sandwiches!!!

The creamy garlic chicken salad has chunks of premium white meat with a hint of garlic, followed by heat from the giardeneria. All this is wrapped up with liberal amounts of cooling shredded lettuce. And the sub sandwich was huge and price point was fairly low at under $13 for this size. Definitely going to come back and try other ones in the future.

The space is small and dark, a bit cramped and many students tend to be socializing or studying. And that makes sense since these prices are relatively less than other similar delis.“

“Delicious Mediterranean desserts and homemade ice cream! large ,clean and spacious room to sit down and enjoy your desserts 🍨 very friendly staff ❤️❤️❤️“

“I always go for the super greens refresher! So yummy and gives me the energy I need for on the go! 💪🏼🌱💦“

“Honestly some of the best food I've eaten in a while. More than worth it. Everything was incredible.“

“Very cozy and peaceful. The owner was there the day I visited he made me a show lavender latte and ask me to taste before leaving counter to assure it was too my liking. I had a blueberry muffin that was fresh and delightful. The service was nice the latte and muffin were delicious and it was quiet and cozy enough for me to do my work meetings. Definitely will be a regular.“

“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“

“Patrick, Lorena, and Meleena were wonderful! They were very nice and funny :)“

“What an AMAZING experience! There are baristas available to take my order. There are bankers to help with any banking questions and ongoing promotions.

I came to this Hyde Park Capital One Cafe looking for a seating area with my son to work for a few hours. I was greeted each and every time I come. Ambassador Christopher Price and his staff welcome us with graciousness and hospitality that is beyond my expectations of what I am use to in a cafe and/or bank. I’ve enjoyed being here tremendously as well as many other people here, I know this by them greeting customers by their first name.
