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!“

“DeMars for lunch today, Reuben Platter so good! Is this Blue Island location the last DeMars standing? Love the old school diner experience and town of Blue Island so fabulous.“

“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!“

“When heading towards Beverly for a property management home inspection, I wanted to find a local coffee joint that I could get a coffee and a snack of some sort. Afro Joe's was calling to me. Walking in, greeted warmly, the adventure began. If you haven't been, check the menu before you go because you will want to order one of each item! Since it was my first time, most certainly NOT the last, I needed a lifeline. Charmaine to the rescue. I don't know if I manifested or she read my mind , but when I asked which sandwich I should order instantly , she said the short rib! Boom! Done. Next up, a drink choice. Again I was not led astray. The option was a blueberry lavender cold brew topped with rose cold foam. As she was suggesting the option, Charmaine lifted the one she was drinking and again instantly sold. No chocolate croissant available since it was later in the morning but the chocolate morning roll was there and three for three, the order was placed. I already know that I have to come back, time and time again.Just walking in such a chill vibe , perfect music, everyone tables either working or chatting with a friend. The open kitchen invites you to see the hustle and bustle. The garage doors roll up onto the patio for warmer days and what appears to be local art work adorns the walls. When I tell you, this is absolutely no exaggeration, every item was on point! The short rib was so flavor forward eith the bite of picked onions, there was a side of diced pickles and onions too. Also a hit. The warm bun had some fruit nestled in its chocolatey tummy, flakes and moist with the richness of cocoa. And for the latte, cold, sweet and the flavors all complimented each other so well. I did opt for whole milk because, why not?!? I had one too many client emails and texts to be able to enjoy grabbing a book from the shelf but note, they even had the sharpest of colored pencils to doodle or write a note with. I have not one complaint, well, maybe one, I wish they were in my neighborhood because this would be a staple place to visit regularly! Until we meet again and I can get my hands on a chocolate croissant next...or any one of the other of their baked goods. Support your Local Black Owned Businesses!“

“The coffee here is incredible! ☕️ What really stands out is how the owners and baristas always greet you with a smile when you arrive and say goodbye when you leave - it really makes you feel welcome 😊. I’m so grateful for this little gem in our community ✨. It’s always a great experience every time I visit!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Nice visit to this café with my 1 year-old daughter. Ordered the biscuits and gravy with a vanilla oat milk latte.

The food was absolutely delicious!. They were kind enough to cut up fresh fruit for my daughter and the customer service was excellent. Highly recommend this café. 🥰“

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

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

“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!“

“I’ve seen this place in my neighborhood for quite some time and decided to try it out and I’m glad I did. Their sandwiches are absolutely delicious! And great value too. I definitely will recommend this place to friends and family :)“

“I cannot say enough great things about Cafe 53! Not only is the service second to none, but they are extremely accommodating to allergies including a gluten allergy and someone in our party who was allergic to garlic. Absolutely 10/10, I wish I could give them more than 5 stars!!“

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

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

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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 love Chef Sara! I popped in an hour before closing and was able to enjoy my meal. I look forward to having more there. I highly recommend you find out for yourself #MomInShaMan“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Ordered crepes and coffee. The crepes were really good and the portion was generous. The coffee was okay, nothing special. The guy cooking is super fun and very chatty — but he cooks with heart and makes great food. Overall, a great spot. 5 stars.“

“Donuts are amazing! 💯 recommend“

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

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

“Honestly, the sterile, corporate feel of this cafe motivates me to work hard so I can finish my work quickly and get out. There's always some person coming in to yap the representatives' ears off, so just be prepped to overhear some old guy recounting his war stories to Capital One sales reps while you're finalizing a report.
HOWEVER! The baristas and baristos are wonderfully attentive and chill. Drinks being heavily discounted for cardholders is a big draw, and the cafe is always clean!“

“It is a Nice Starbucks Spot“

“Amazing crepes and so many chocolate options!“

“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!!!!“

“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“

“I just want to say this! Sharon is amazing! First time coming here! So nice and caring. I appreciate this place. Delicious Donuts and Coffee.“

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

“Awesome place to hangout drink some good coffee and the food is great!“
