9 Best Coffee Shops in Buffalo Grove

“Friendly service and great donuts!“

“Samarkand Café is a charming, lantern-lit slice of Central Asia that easily earns a very strong four stars. The plov is deeply satisfying—fragrant rice, meltingly tender lamb, and those sweet raisins that make every forkful addictive—while the grilled kebabs deliver proper charcoal punch and the hand-pulled laghman noodles have exactly the right springy bite. Manti are plump and comforting, the tea ritual is lovely, and the warmly hospitable service makes you feel like a welcomed guest rather than a customer. It’s only held back from a full five by occasional inconsistency (one visit the meat was perfection, another slightly dry) and a dessert selection that feels a touch limited. Still, for authentic Uzbek soul food in an atmosphere that glows with genuine Central Asian spirit, Samarkand remains an absolute delight well worth repeat visits.“

“Best grilled cheese sandwich!“

“Thank you, Joon for the delicious boba teas 🧋 and smoothies! They were a hit! 18 drinks to celebrate our daughter’s birthday! My personal fave is milk tea with easy tapioca. We absolutely love this place and definitely will return!“

“Friendly,spotless and delicious.“

“If you’re ever in the area or up for a short drive, check out this brunch spot. I stopped by with a friend today and we liked everything we ordered

We started with the Arabica coffee. We ordered the red chilaquiles with skirt steak and also had the carnitas skillet. For something sweet, we went with the Nutella and banana waffle and the French toast flight. The waffle was nice and soft. My favorite was the mixed berry French toast with cream, hers was the churro dulce de leche. They make their whipped cream in house and you can really taste the difference.

The service was awesome (thank you Ali).
The place has a great vibe and I love the simple, sophisticated decor.
I would definitely make the drive from Chicago just for brunch.“

“Love it the service excellent 🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“I mean, it’s Dunkin- if you’re expecting a Gordon Ramsey experience, you’re the problem. Coffee is decent unlike other places that make coffee kind of watery. Donuts are alright, not a huge fan of donuts but impressed with their specialty donut of the month ?“

“Brown Sugar Bubble Tea isn’t just about amazing drinks – they also serve delicious food! The grilled chicken is a standout because it’s not fried in oil but cooked on the grill, making it super flavorful and healthier. They offer a variety of flavors to choose from, and everything tastes fresh and well-prepared.
The burgers are fantastic, especially the Sizzler Burger – it’s juicy, packed with flavor, and really satisfying. And the chicken wings? Absolutely 100/10! They’re perfectly cooked, seasoned to perfection, and just irresistible.
If you’re looking for great bubble tea and food in one place, this is the spot to visit. Highly recommend!“
