“Great service, professional and it is one of the best Dunkin' donuts places that have been to. I know employee that makes me the best iced coffee during happy hours. Happy hours are between 2:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Any size coffee you want is two bucks with tax. I usually get my iced coffee on Mondays and Fridays. Also make sure you ask for a less ice on your ice coffee because they they tend to cheat on you with more ice than the liquid. It's the same method that they use with Starbucks drinks and other restaurants. Make sure you keep an eye on it and be extra careful. And have a great day! ???????????????????“

“What a delightful place! They have Beacon Donuts and vegan bagels, with vegan cream cheese from Good Planet (as well as vegan butter, peanut butter, and jam) - my two perfect breakfast foods. The blackberry beignet was good, though I would've liked it warmed up a bit. I got the tendrils tea, a matcha lemonade, and it's a great balance of the two. I'm obsessed with the kitschy movie vibe, especially the sandworm from Beetlejuice coming out of the ceiling.“

“An ideal lunch sandwich shop features fresh, thinly sliced ingredients layered with zesty horseradish mayo, and quick service (about 3 minutes for me without a line). I had the #3 Roast Beef, a 9" sandwich that’s ample for two meals. The chewy bread and herbal dressing are delicious.
While waiting, guests can indulge in some coffee; the cold brew offers a rich, chocolate taste with no acidity, making it enjoyable whether served black or with cream.
The space includes 4 small tables and is more suited for takeout or a casual lunch date rather than large gatherings. Treat yourself!“

The fruit is incredibly fresh, and you can really taste the quality in every smoothie. I’m also a huge fan of their acai bowls; they’re delicious, packed with fresh toppings, and the portion sizes are perfect. Bora Bora Smoothies is definitely my go-to spot for a healthy treat!”“

“The pastries are very delicious! I have a variety of them. They are some of the best I have had in unexpected combinations. The latte I had was floral and balanced. It was a Lavender Latte. If you love coffee and pastries, you do not want to miss out on this experience. Cafe Calida has a selection that is full of flavor that is truly sure to delight. Visit them today to see for yourself. Check their hours of operation.“

“Portage Grounds is my favorite local coffee shop! The staff are awesome, the coffee is great, and the shop itself is welcoming. They have a cozy couch spot by the fireplace, individual window stools if you prefer to work solo, and even a conference room if you want to hang with a group. Cute little outdoor patio as well. Great location. Can't speak on the food as I've never eaten there.
Parking: Parking is difficult here simply because it's on Irving Park next to the park and the gym. Sometimes you can find a spot but often the closest option is illegal/flasher parking, or over a block away“

“Met a friend for coffee one Sunday. Elaina was nice and welcoming and made the menu approachable. She was able to tell me about all of the drinks and food and gave great recommendations. Even had a non-dairy option for my husband. It was a really nice vibe inside with cool art on the walls. I had a really good breakfast sandwich and the coffee was excellent! I had an iced caramel coffee, probably my favorite iced coffee drink I've ever had, seriously. I will visit again and strongly recommend!“

“The largest of the BlackBerry Market installations and the one I gravitate towards the most; while both the Glen Ellyn and LaGrange locations are charming, the Oak Brook building is more impressive, with higher ceilings, a gorgeous amount of light due to the ample windows, and a great mix of different seating options. I’ve been to BlackBerry market to simply grab a quick bite after running errands in the area, but I’ve also come here with a larger group of friends for relaxed brunch. No matter the occasion, I’ve never been disappointed with the food! It hits every time— my special shoutout goes to the Italian Wedding Soup, as well as the Chicken Avocado Club! I always gravitate towards those dishes and they never let me down.“

“Bright, open, comfortable space for people meeting up in pairs, groups, or working solo. Outlets available along walls under bench seating. Two bathrooms divide the front room from the more dim/ "cozier" room in the back, which offers additional seating in the form of larger, wider tables. Acoustics are decent for the size and height of the ceiling /open brick space. Ironically this cafe has a quiet ambience that makes it great for working on a laptop with headphones on without getting distracted by the typical loud, jarring sounds normally heard at smaller or more common cafes. Music is not too distracting or loud, and features a wide range of genres. I think the staff changed it up manually to mix it up every hour or so. It didn't sound too generic or predictable. Also, the staff here are extremely friendly, knowledgeable, sweet, and cheery, and made suggestions to customers while they ordered. I loved my cold brew and Lorraine Croissant which was heated up. The absolutely gorgeous and enviable "living wall" full of real plants ? at the front is an AWESOME use of vertical wall space. It is always great to see businesses using real plants. I also appreciate the subtle stylish additions like the pretty chandeliers and beautiful metal hand-created signage on the other walls. Metal chairs at the tables near the other side of the cafe are not that comfortable after awhile, but not terrible either. Bathrooms are accessible for all needs and there is a high chair near the bar if you need one for a kid. Parking is tricky as the lots in the front and back can fill up quickly at the start of the day/midday.
Wheelchair accessibility: Open space allows for wheelchair accessibility at tables, in bathrooms, and when ordering. Doors do not open automatically though.“
“Awesome little coffee shop. The service is ultra friendly, almost like visiting my imaginary grandmother (I mean this is in a good way). It’s a sort of mix of a bar, coffee shop and general venue. Coffee is delicious and very well priced. Highly recommend all around. Although I didn’t taste any food, I’m sure it’s fresh too.“

“Such a treat! A cute café with so many great options for coffee tea bread sandwiches all packed with flavor! I got the honey lavender latte hot and it really hit the spot! The chorizo sandwich was sooo good I need to know if they make the bread in house or where they get it from! So good!!“

“Pretty good coffee served via a walk up window. Nothing wrong with it, just many places for good coffee in the area and not the best one.
Update: The owner asked whose coffee we preferred. We thought Pedestrian Coffee and Brew Brew were probably the best we had this trip.“

“OMG WOW! Amazing bakery! I go to tons of bakeries & I think this is the best one in Oak Park & one of the best in Chicagoland! I LOVED everything I tried from the cookies, to muffins to scones. Super high quality & extremely fresh products. Some of the pastries were still warm from the oven as I got there right at 8 am when they open. Even then, there was a little line out the door. Many people got coffee drinks but I didn’t this time. They also have $2 wonky cookies (just weirdly shaped cookies) that are a great deal. I tried: chocolate chip cookie, banana bread, vegan chocolate muffin (extra delish), goat cheese chili scone (excellent) & the wonky birthday cookie (amazing & buttery - melts in your mouth). Can’t wait to go back & try other things! Please note the place is tiny with only a few tables & chairs & there’s metered street parking so I took my order to go.
10.25.24 update: the kale salad done is truly amazing! The toasted coconut cake was sooo good and the chiffon cake was delightful. The savory corn biscuit was good but I preferred the scone, which is totally worth traveling for.“

“what a great coffee shop!! I am visiting from Portland, OR and obviously have an obnoxious pretention about coffee... Vigo coffee is absolutely great. I've been looking for a good coffee shop to work from in oak park and this exceeds expectations. the coffee is SO GOOD, and I absolutely love that this coffee shop is set up as the most comfortable co-working space + art gallery (?!??!!). as if it couldn't get any better, we absolutely love the authentic Mexican culture and flavors available here. really great selection of savory and sweet baked goods that will keep you full and focused all day. I will definitely be back here to work whenever I'm in oak park.
Vegetarian options: lots of savory and sweet baked options that will sustain you.
Kid-friendliness: lots of games available meant for little ones, like guess who, connect 4, Jenga and uno!“

“This was our first time trying this restaurant. I didn't take a picture but, last night, I had the chickpea tuna sandwich. When you order this sandwich it actually comes with 2 sandwiches that are wrapped separately. The sandwich was a generous portion, had a nice clean taste and was very filling. I ate one half last night and the other half for lunch today. It wasn't soggy like a regular tuna sandwich might be after storing it over night. Definitely gonna try it again. We also had the spaghetti with no meatballs and the mac and cheese. Everything was very good and the price was great too. I will be going back to sample other items this restaurant has to offer.“

“When I’m working from our Oakbrook location, Beatrix is one of my favorite spots when I need to escape the office. There’s a cafe area when you walk in, attached but separate from the restaurant. This includes a coffee bar with lots of treats and plenty of seats or places to lounge or work on your laptop. The Wi-Fi is great here so I never have to use my own hotspot or network. I love anything s’mores and they have a massive s’mores cookie filled with marshmallows. They used to have a Nutella filled cookie but I haven’t seen it recently. They also have a sign advertising DoRite Donuts (which are my favorite donuts in the city). They told me they’re only available on the weekends, so I haven’t tried them here, but that’s a nice option to have in the suburbs.
Pros- They’re part of the Lettuce Entertain You network so you can check-in on the app and earn points, and this includes a Beatrix coffee club that gives you a free coffee every 7 drinks.
Cons- Lettuce Entertain You always adds a service fee to your receipt, including here at the coffee bar. They could’ve skipped it here…. I don’t mind tipping, but it feels silly to buy a single cookie and have a service charge added to it, in addition to being asked for a tip
-The staff at the coffee bar is almost always in a grumpy mood. This makes me think this isn’t a great company to work for. I hope that’s not the case and I hope life improves for them.“

“Really cute coffee shop with super interesting and unique drinks! I’m not a coffee expert but my friend who is said they carry great beans. I was more intrigued and impressed by the interesting lattes they offered (two were Ghibli-inspired!) I got the “Totoro”, which was the best black sesame latte I’ve ever had.“
