“love this place and the workers❤“

“This cafe is amazing! It’s clear they have worked hard to create a cohesive atmosphere and strong image for the cafe. This makes the atmosphere very warm and inviting. I love all the small details such as the cafe name stamped onto the food boxes and cups. The simple branding is straightforward and very pleasing. The menu has a good variety of items while still providing you the confidence that whatever you order will be made with care and taste phenomenal. I ordered the ginger peach tea with honey and it was divine, not to mention the prices are great. I love that the syrups are also homemade! They have a few food options but the one that stands out to me is the bacon, egg, and cheese on the bagel. I will absolutely be back to try more on the menu!“

“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!“

“good coffee and great service!“

“i love buenos days!
great coffee, the friendliest staff. they offer adventurous drinks as well as your classics. the cafe itself is clean and airy with lots of natural light making it a great place to meet with friends or hunker down with your laptop. i have seen it quickly become a watering hole/ community space for this neighborhood. 💗“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“I have always been happy w everything about this place. I’ve talked about it ad nauseam to everyone who will listen 😂. The service, the people, the food ? 10/10. I love coming here“

“Lovely place, very nice folks working there. Great coffee, yummy banana bread . Honorable mission. Go there.“

“This is hands down our favorite restaurant. We eat here at least twice a week, and the consistency is one of the main reasons we keep coming back. The service is warm, efficient, and always welcoming. The chicken skewers are outstanding. Perfectly seasoned, tender, and cooked just right every time. They are flavorful without being heavy, and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. The Greek salad is equally impressive. Crisp vegetables, generous feta, balanced dressing, and always fresh. It is simple, but done exceptionally well. When a restaurant can deliver this level of quality consistently multiple times a week, that says everything. We highly recommend it.“

“Wow this place is gorgeous, I first walked in and thought I was transported to a different place, but I do have some bad things to say other than the good food, me and my friend had there crepes and they were delicious but not worth the 14 dollars for the pizza slice portion they gave us. The complaint I have was that the used all of the budget on the dining room but couldn’t afford to spruce up the restrooms. The floor in the bathrooms was cracking, the toilet was leaking, the door had to be slammed closed because it wasn’t on the hinges properly. The employee outside of the bathroom was also smoking indoors. Food was delish though!“

“Amazing. No other words needed.“

“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 :)“

“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“

“there make great refreshers“

“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.“

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

“My family and I found this cafe on google just looking for something to eat after going to the vehicle emissions testing center not too far away. It's right on the corner, very cute sign. Atmosphere was calm and welcoming. Brittany greeted us and helped us make our final decisions with expert input. She told us the food was good but MAANNNN was the food good! I had the chicken pesto panini and a matcha latte. You can really taste all the love they put into all the ingredients! Honestly the best money we've spent on food (going out) in a long time. My son couldn't put the chocolate chip coconut granola bar down...so good!“

“Stopped in for breakfast/lunch and it was so good! Cute atmosphere, very friendly staff, great service and great food. We tried the sandwich sampler-steak, lechon and cubano; a ropa vieja jibarito, cafe con leche and empanadas. We will definitely be back. I highly recommend.“

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

“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.“

“Everything you could want on their menu trust me“

“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.“

“My wife and I have been to Petite Vie several times over the last few years. For the handful of times we've been there, we've enjoyed the great food.

However, the service is equal to the food, which helps in rounding out a restaurant that you'll want to come back to. Also, there's a nice, lively atmosphere that we enjoyed during our time there.

The food was on point and presented beautifully. The wine list was well represented with nice selections of bottles and wines by the glass.

If you're looking for a great restaurant in the western suburbs, give Petite Vie a try. You'll enjoy the food, the service and the wine.“

“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. 😋“

“Yum. The food was fantastic.“

“best coffee and awesome food“

“Yesterday I took the Sourdough Breadmaking Class with Chef George at The Ancestral Oven and I just pulled an amazing loaf of bread out of my home oven 24 hours later! Chef George provided all the necessary instruction and supplies - including a lively starter - for students to start their own sourdough journey at home. The class included hands-on experience feeding the starter, as well as folding and shaping the dough. I had a great time at the class and can't wait to return to try out the breakfast and lunch menu at The Ancestral Oven Bakery and Cafe.“

“Phenomenal and reasonably priced boba drinks, the tapioca here is SOO GOOD (sweet and perf texture), delicious green tamales (got one just to try, super impressed, would have bought a dozen if they weren’t so expensive @2.75/ea), amazing service, clean, and welcoming environment!! 10000/10“

“Great staff, quality product with less wait“

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

“Love, love, love this place and that it’s so close to home! Chill atmosphere, good tunes and they support other local businesses and artists. If you haven’t tried the “Wildflower” it’s a must! 🍃☕️🤎“

“If you’re looking for a variety of delicious pan(Mexican sweet bread) and cafe(coffee) or tea, this is a ONE STOP SHOP!
They serve the smoothest cold brew and richest cafe de olla!
Now— “early bird gets the worm” as they sell out fast(bread.)
They are open later than most local cafes(6 pm) and have the BEST team. Not only are they phenomenal with drink recommendations but the customizations they cater towards their customers provides the best quality of coffee you can experience!
Anything and everything you can think of they might have. If not, ask for a recommendation; I can almost BET you will not be disappointed!“

“First things first, the food was honestly okay. The steak skillet didn't have too much steak, was a bit chewy, but otherwise it filled myself up and had some good flavor. The pancakes were not that great, they were a bit spongy and didn't taste as good as I'd like but pretty standard for a breakfast place
Now, the service was a different story, honestly my server made me feel very comfortable, speedy delivery, no mistakes whatsoever, kind and sweet. I I would keep going here again and again just because I feel very welcome in this establishment.“

“Great food great services. Clean five star operation.“

“Great chicken, sandwiches, and smoothies“

“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.“

“The best place for desserts in the whole wide world! I just can't help coming back every single week. Every dessert I try is even better than the last. If you have a sweet tooth, coming here is an absolute must. The service is a 10/10.“

“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.“

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

“The coffee is excellent, the food never disappoints, and the atmosphere is perfect whether you’re relaxing or getting work done. What really makes it special is the customer service—everyone is so kind and welcoming, and you can tell they genuinely care about their customers. It feels like more than just a coffee shop.“

“This is my go-to place when I have just got to get some work done and I can't do it at my house because I'm too distracted! it's a cozy place to work, not too loud, good music that's not distracting and I can stay until I get my stuff done. and have a really good coffee while I'm doing it. I haven't eaten there a lot, but everything I've gotten has been really tasty too.“

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

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

“good coffee and great service!“
