50 Best Cafes near Bridgeview

“love this place and the workers❤“

“flatbread pizza with any of your soups! Cucumber salad with a sandwich! But Mostly soup and a sandwich!😋“

“My God, this sangwich will make you feel that things might just be ok and forget for a moment what a dumpster fire of a time we live in. The lamination! Look at these luscious layers of pastry hugging eggs and some crispy plancha sausage! Look at them! Few things are perfect or capable of changing your life. This sandwich and these brothers just might be the thing. 10/10 and I’ll definitely be back for more.“

“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!“

“good coffee and great service!“

“Thank you so much Cafe El Menson for your generous donation to my kindergarten classroom today. My students really enjoyed the Arroz con Gandules. I cannot thank you enough!“

“Very clean and cute place. We tried some milkshakes, boba refreshers, iced coffee and mini pancakes and EVERYTHING was absolutely delicious!“

“Love this place! Delicious food, gluten free options, and excellent service. Chef Paco is the best! I highly recommend the tamal de mango!!“

“This is such a unique spot. The set up is beautiful, inviting and gives a cozy feel. Great place to work or just vibe with a friend. I tried the Abrazos latte, it really does taste like a tortilla. The cinnamon bun muffin was ok, it was dry, the topping helped a but wouldn't get it again.“

“Great coffee and atmosphere“

“Best Cheese cake I've Ever Had 5 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟“

“Chose to come here because it’s a halfway point between my friend’s and I’s homes, and it was such a pleasant experience! The atmosphere was very nice and calm, the smells were divine, and the service was excellent! We got to chat with the owner for a second and she was absolutely darling! I had a strawberry matcha latte with brown sugar boba and I know in a week I’ll be craving it again. 10/10 will be coming back again!“

“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!“

“Greg and I just finished the chicken pot pie. The best I've ever had, and ask Greg, I'm very picky!!“

“We loved talking with the helpful man behind the counter. He took the time to explain the various chocolates that they sell. The way in which the fabricating of the chocolate is controlled in such a richly authentic way won me over. My granddaughter loved the samples that we were given. I will be back to buy more bars and to try the hot chocolate. I am thinking that these bars would make lovely gifts. You are a great addition to the Pilsen vibe! Judy DeLeon“

“High quality trivia night host. Incredible food on a changing menu. Great place to hang with friends and family. Or a great place to sip wine and hang out with one of the many in-house books. Classy and laid back atmosphere.“

“I love love love this place. It’s a gem on the Westside of Chicago. I love their beverages (hot and cold), their sandwiches, their paninis, their friendliness! I love what BeeLove represents and what it offers the community.“

“This place is serving up AMAZING Cuban comfort food. It is a must stop in anytime you're in Berwyn. They're also just steps away from the train station making it easy to get from the city to Media Noche Cafeand the staff is always friendly and helpful.“

“Sweetest people work there and the food is great!“

“there make great refreshers“

“This small and authentic eatery served exzellent sandwiches for a fair prize. We were here for the first time and felt comfortable and welcome from the beginning till the end. We will take those memories back to our home town Berlin (Germany). Muchas gracias. :)“

“Yum. The food was fantastic.“

“Our family absolutely loves Bb's donuts! We do miss being able to go inside the donut shop. So many wonderful memories taking our little girl there to eat donuts and read a book or two. We have a little boy with Autism and it's not safe for him to sit in front by the busy street because he runs. Wish we could go inside to enjoy donuts & coffee knowing it's something our son would truly enjoy.“

“Had the spicy chicken sandwich it was a hit services was good and pleasant environment owner very down to earth and is a veteran 💯“

“Great atmosphere! Amazing Service! Perfect for gathering here when meetups occur! I always bring a crowd of attendees with me from Galloping Ghost Arcade here for the fur meets I run just blocks down!“

“I’m a sucker for good bread and the Italian sub was delicious. I’ve had two different flavor smoothies and I love them. Can’t wait to try the Reuben sandwich. 😋“

“Be very relaxed, peaceful and a nice menu to choose from👍🏼“

“Clean, friendly, 6 large tvs, bar snacks and great drinks. I recommend!“

“Great chicken, sandwiches, and smoothies“

“best coffee and awesome food“

“Great staff, quality product with less wait“

“This breakfast and lunch place is the definition of cozy and homey. Mimi greets customers with a generous spirit of joy. Smiling, laughing and welcoming. My friend and I had traditional breakfasts foods, he two eggs, sausages, hash browns and toast, me, eggs Benedict. Portions were generous. My friend said his sausages were homemade and tasty. The hollandaise on the Benedict was scrumptious. The hash browns were seasoned just right and a nice relief to so many places now serving bland “breakfast potatoes”.\nAll in as, a great food experience. We will be back and tell our friends.“

“Wow! Absolute perfection, from the greeting upon entering the door, to the mouthwatering menu, to the incredible service, melt-in-your-mouth perfection of each course, and did I mention the service? Best steak tartare and duck confit, EVER!“

“Love this coffee shop! Easily some of the best lattes and staff in Oak Park.“

“One of my fav breakfast spots to go to. The fact that they give me a whole pitcher of water and coffee makes my experience the best. I don’t have to wave down a waiter for coffee or water continuously. Instead I have it at my fingertips at my leisure. I don’t know why more restaurants do this. The servers are always great. The food is great. The atmosphere is great. It’s just pleasant all around. Definitely recommend. Also, they have gluten free options for me!“

“After driving past Elijah's in the mornings for the last few months I finally decided to stop in and give it a try (you should always try to support local). I ordered a large Black Coffee with a shot of espresso, I even mentioned to the guy making my coffee that it was my first time here and he was polite and said Welcome. (When was the last time you heard someone say welcome?) The girl behind the counter asked if I wanted anything else and I asked If they made there Scones fresh and she said yes we bake daily. I bought a variety to bring to the gig for the crew this morning. My Coffee was made exactly the way I make it at home and the Scones were still warm and made me feel like I was on Arthur Avenue at Morrone's pastry in the Bronx waiting in line for them to come out of the oven fresh. I must give Elijah's Coffee 5 stars today and recommend it to everybody and I will now be a customer. Thank you for keeping that real original old school home town vibe in a Corporate jungle of garbage we are forced to deal with in this world today. Elijah's Specialty Coffee“

“The best coffee made by Vito Brancatto! I now have my sister hooked and will travel from the South Side to join me for the best coffee. Mr. Brancatto will not disappoint.“

“Great place to meet for coffee or breakfast, one of the few places in Oak Park that are suitable for a business conversation. So many cafes are too small, too loud, or too inconvenient to get to/park. It's spacious and has lots of room between tables for privacy. Drink choices are creative. I had the turmeric latte and egg breakfast bowl and it was delicious, very filling and freshly made. It's not a super fast place though, so don't go if you're in a hurry.“

“Thanks for the vegan offerings. My family and I enjoyed our meals very much. Super tasty!!!“

“This place is simply spectacular. I visited from out of state and I loved every second of it. I don't think I stopped smiling the whole entire time I was there! Great food, lovely coffees, incredible service, and an immaculate atmosphere. I wish I could have picked the whole Cafe up and brought them back home with me!!“

“We went there today for breakfast. The eating area was nothing special but it was clean and nice enough for us to dine there. The food was pretty good as well. We tried the bacon egg and cheese sandwich and the cheese and jalapeño sandwich (our favorite) as well as a coffee and a hot chocolate! Everything was pretty good. In fact we decided to take a loaf of the jalapeño cheddar sourdough and some sweets home after we were through eating. Our only complaint was the gentleman taking the orders. He has absolutely zero personality and as the face of a place like this, you need to have someone willing to engage with customers. We never saw him smile once while he was dealing with us and we had two transactions while we were there. The bread is amazing. I just hope that the front of the store doesn’t keep people from returning! Just our 2 cents!“

“I placed an order to go. Was informed that there was a $3.00 to go charge and a gratuity would be added on the order cause it was over $100.00. After I checked the receipt, $18.35 was the gratuity. I thought it would be maybe $5.00. Very disappointed. Had I known this, I would have come into the restaurant and ate there had them provide me with service. I am a senior and that was definetly not right. I've already instructed my family not to get me gift card from Maple and Jam.“

“The food here is amazing especially regarding how many gluten free dishes they have. They have the largest gluten free dessert menu I’ve ever seen! So many delicious options that I just keep coming back. They also have a modern, but warm atmosphere that is delightful. This place is clearly a hidden gem and a must try!“

“good coffee and great service!“

“Súper recomendado exelente atención rica comida todo rápido los precio muy bajo hay 10/10“

“I honestly thought this place was a coffee shop....but I guess in a way it really is. But it's a cozy mini casino. The vibe is really comfortable....and it's unique. The have cheap drinks....and free coffee, tea, and snacks. It's a must go.“

“I just received the cookies I ordered today and they are delicious!! Well packaged and tasted fresh. They bring back so many memories of my childhood. Thank you for bringing joy to my holiday season! ❤️💚“

“Thank you for amazing service. Between the food and coffee you always have something delicious. The environment is warm and inviting making you feel at home. Thank you for having your space as a same space. I had a wonderful time.“

“Our family loves coming to this location. We’re obsessed with anything pistachio here and the Dubai crepe and Dubai cup are amazing. The staff is always friendly. It does take a while for the order but I don’t mind the wait because the crepes are always warm when served.“
