“My wife and I visited this area from San Diego and wanted to check out some good asian spots. We were recommended this place by the Hong Ning owners. I will tell you, this is an awesome bakery. I couldn't stop eating the Spanish bread with the Ube drink. I ate a handful of Spanish bread. And, my wife enjoyed the empanadas. Loved the simplicity and authenticity of the place.“

“I ordered from them on Grubhub for the first time today for my two children and I. My kids have never tried boba before, they’re 4 and 8, so I thought it would be a nice treat. Omg they were DELICIOUS!!! I also opted for the mystery cup which was a super sweet surprise! I’m going to take my kids here very soon so we can actually enjoy our time in the shop itself ❤️“

“Wildberry Pancakes & Cafe was an outstanding dining experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting and the service was top-notch. My dad, who was visiting from London, was impressed with the variety and quality of the food, particularly the vegetarian options which were extensive and perfect for our halal diet. The highlight of the meal was the pancake with banana pudding and cream, which was absolutely delicious. Overall, we highly recommend Wildberry Pancakes & Cafe to anyone looking for a fantastic breakfast or brunch spot. The wide range of menu items and the attention to detail in both the food and service make this a must-visit restaurant. We will definitely be returning in the future.“

“Everything about Natures Best shouts fresh, clean, and delicious. I'm a regular and I cook everyday at home but this cafe offers something special. . Simitrio, the owner, calls returning customers my name and runs his business with ❤️- If you've been but not for a while, please out it back in your rotation. If you have never been there - Go check it out! Support a small, local business and enjoy a fantastic fresh meal!!!“

“The empanadas were very tasty. Great proportions for a snack or an appetizer. They could probably even become a meal once you have a full plate. Each empanada was full of flavor. That was quite a treat. This time I asked for a dozen of cookies. They were very delicious. I paced myself with each cookie so that the aftertaste would last just a little bit longer. Nice distinct flavor made each cookie stand out. That box of cookies was "a cookie party" And finally, the dragon fruit cheesecake... In one word - PHENOMENAL !!! Impressive visually with the three colorful layers and so incredibly delicate in taste. The dragon fruit cheesecake is a pure JOY to have. I highly recommend this local treasure. Next time I plan on visiting ALPACAke for lunch.“

“Just discovered this amazing European Cafe/Bakery. I ordered a "J" cake in pink for my daughter-in-law and it was out of this world! Very light, whipped cream frosting, decorated just beautifully! I'll be ordering one next for my birthday in March :)“

The space is modern yet comfortable, making it a nice place to relax, catch up with friends, or even get some work done. Service is generally friendly and attentive, though it can get a little crowded at peak times.
Overall, Bubo Coffee is a great local café worth visiting if you’re looking for quality coffee in a comfortable setting.“

“Dino's is excellent place to eat. They use Quality food and prices are extremely fair. Generous portions are served . Im sure they took the hit when eggs were 8 dollars a dozen. They never raised their prices, to gouge there customers, thats saying alot about the owner. Which I have met on several occasions. He is a good hardworking family man. Staff is always friendly and accommodating. More establishments should care about the quality food they use and customer service.“

“Visited this cafe with my friend on a quiet weekday evening and we both ended up liking it more than expected. The lighting was warm, music stayed soft, and nobody was rushing customers even as it got busier later. I ordered cheesecake with hot chocolate while my friend tried pasta and coffee. The cheesecake texture was soft and fresh instead of dry. Our drinks took slightly longer because they were handling several takeaway orders, but staff apologized and kept things moving calmly throughout the evening rush.“

“I recommend everything ! The food is exceptional and delicious .“

“First time visiting. The drinks that we got were really good. The staff members were very helpful in helping us pick the right drink from the menu and even offered my daughter a sample of one of the flavors to help her decide. I thought the drinks were a bit pricey for what we got, but I don't get specialty drinks like this often. The atmosphere inside was kind of basic. Nothing special. Would I make this place a habit? Probably not, but it was good for a special treat.“

“Great presentation and the product is delicious!“

“The best bubble tea in all of Chicagoland!“

“I tried Bettina's Tea Cold Brew at the Palos Heights Farmers' Market in 2022. Delicious and Refreshing. I was hooked. I had to replenish over the winter. I placed an order via her site. My order arrived in a timely manner and the product was fresh and included a sealed pouch ,so that I could store the opened loose leaf tea bag. Five 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟 from me.“

“Sweet Reserve Cafe & Bakery is a wonderful spot in Schaumburg. The desserts and pastries are fresh and beautifully made. The coffee is rich and flavorful, and the staff is very friendly and attentive. A perfect place to relax or meet friends.“

“I've been here a few times about four o'clock or so and the lady that's usually there is really nice and very accommodating (don't know her name). I was in yesterday and there was a guy on the machine hitting the buttons so loudly after 40 minutes of this I couldn't take it any longer and had to get out of there! I would have stayed another hour if he wasn't doing this. I like to go and have a beer and unwind from work and it was none of that. It's sad that some people are so self absorbed they have no consideration for others. Btw I wasn't the only one that was getting agitated. This is in no way a bad review, the place is great! I just wish people would think of others.“

“Iris makes Tracy's a lot of fun! Great personality and always has the place looking sharp. An incident happened a couple of weeks ago and I felt so sorry and scared for her. An employee from the resturant next door...My Cocina, became very agitated and got right in her face and was yelling at her. I actually got scared and thought the police were going to be called. He was out of control. Iris handled the situation and he left. But she should not be harassed by this employee. He continues to come in and it is very uncomfortable for those of us that go to your gaming lounge.“

“Where do I Begin? I looked at several other workout centers, and this one is head and shoulders above all the others. We used to work out at the Triphahn center with the HEPD for years. They have had problems with their air conditioning and other issues as well. It was simply time for a change. And what a change! They have a huge selection of machines for aerobics, free weights, and resistance machines. They also have a spa, a nice café and their service so far is been tremendous. I went for a look and much to my surprise was given an escorted tour right away. I feel like we went from a motel six to the Ritz Carlton. That’s how good it is. They are doing renovations now to add even more. You can have the use of a personal trainer as well and at least one session is free at least through our insurance plan. “

“A fantastic juice-smoothie place. They also have salads and smoothie bowls. Excellent staff.“
