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!“

“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!“

“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 ☕ 😋“

“I ordered them from uber eats for the and it was so good I needed to leave a review… what do you mean I can order GORMET chocolate covered strawberries to my door?? Their chocolate is out of this world. Juice mixes are refreshing. The croffle thing changed my life. Insanely fresh fruit.
I will probably order from this place weekly. And when I’m broke and fat, monthly (to feed Mother Nature) at the very least. Please never close“

“Great service, delicious sandwiches and very pleasant customer interaction!“

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

“Amazing coffee selection and super cute atmosphere. Will definitely be a go to place for me from now on :)“

“Great vibes! Super fair prices, clean space, enough parking.“

“Great place in a great neighborhood!“

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

“To say this place is phenomenal would be an understatement. I had the banana cream latte with almond milk and it was amazing. They don't make it too sweet like the big chain coffee shops, you can still taste the expresso and the flavoring they use, which is how a latte should be in my opinion. They offer sweetness levels if you prefer it more sweet. Great service, friendly employees/owners, and great atmosphere. I will definitely be back on the next cheat day. I love having places like this around.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is a fantastic Cafe with great staff and a lovely atmosphere; a nice place to just sit and relax.“

“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! 💪🏼🌱💦“

“Tried this place thanks to Google maps reviews, no regrets! Beautiful cafe built in a historic train station. Bonus: the train still passes through here! Delicious drinks. Friendly staff. Clean tables and ample seating. Free parking lot with plenty of space.

Only area for improvement was that there was a door jammed open and letting in lots of cold air, I hope it was a temporary issue that has since been resolved.

Would recommend 😊“

“First time here and I picked up 3 shaken espresso. When I got to work I dropped the coffee and they both wasted on the floor. I called the store and someone came right away and showed up in an uber black Cadillac. Customer service unmatched“

“Me encanta los sándwich y licuados el de mango mi favorito“

“Absolutely love this gem! Amazing food and even better people/service ❤️❤️“

“My friends and I were able to make a reservation for 12 people here one night. The wine and food are amazing. They were also accommodating for different checks!“

“Visited Jazwah Coffee today. It was my first time tasting Yemeni coffee. What a treat! The service was outstanding. Amer, a very pleasant server, took the time to make some outstanding recommendations for a newbie, a latte with a fresh cookie warmed up!

The shop was clean, modern, and bright. I noted many electric outlets and people working while enjoying their coffee. There was plenty of seating.

I would highly recommend stopping especially if you're in the area. I was there about 1pm and the traffic was very heavy. Yet, Jazwah was worth it!

Jazwah is located in front of Menards and across the driveway from Patio.“

“I only order cakes from Creative Cakes. They are delicious and beautiful. There is nothing they cannot do. We use them for every occasion. We always get compliments on the cake.“

“Biggby Midlothian made my day today on my lunch break! Their service and coffee are awesome. It is a neighborhood family that owns this location. I highly recommend skipping Dunkin, and heading to Biggby for your coffee!“

“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.“

“First time customer. I ordered a Caramel nut shake and omg 100/10 it was delicious. I also ordered an egg and cheese sandwich on croissant. It was good too. I would definitely recommend this place. Customer service was excellent and the atmosphere was calm.“

“Every time I go through Chicago, I buy food from them, and absolutely every time it’s insanely delicious, I highly recommend a plescavica, as well as any crepes, with Nutella, with berries, with red fish, everything is very tasty, thank you!“

“Donuts are amazing! 💯 recommend“

“Absolutely perfect 👌🏾 wouldn’t change a thing“

“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!“

“Always the best place to stop for late night hungry run!“

“Every Sunday on my way to church and occasionally on my way to work during the week, I stop at this Starbucks. I love the atmosphere when I go in but most of the time, I use the drive thru. The staff is so accommodating, so courteous and kind. I always leave there humming. Love it!!!!“

“It is a Nice Starbucks Spot“

“Amazing crepes and so many chocolate options!“

“just found the place last week. The nicest dang people work there. young lady made me that pistachio and Chai latte to perfection. the slider and burrito were excellent. Positive vibe and energy as soon as you hit the door. nice set up and the upstairs is really inviting. Very happy to had the privilege of finding a great place like this. I live an hour away but stop when I'm in the area“

“Get the fruity pebbles cone! You won't regret it!“

“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 :)“
