5 Best Coffee Shops in Carol Stream

“I had such a fantastic experience at Ethio Beans! If you love bold flavors, rich traditions, and warm hospitality, you need to check this place out. We started with sambussa, which came with a flavorful dipping sauce (I think it was awaze), and it was delicious! For our main meal, we got two veggie combos with injera, misir wot (spiced lentils), alicha wot (mild stew), gomen (collard greens), and cabbage, plus a side of alicha potatoes with carrots. Everything was perfectly seasoned, and the misir wot was my favorite! We nearly finished the whole platter, but what we took home was just as good the next day. One of the best parts of the experience was the Ethiopian coffee, which they served with burning incense—not only did it smell amazing, but it was also the best coffee I’ve ever had. I also ordered Ambo water, and the owner smiled and said, “Ah, you know!” which made me feel like I really knew what I was doing. 😆 They also have a small shop next door full of Ethiopian spices, groceries, and traditional servingware, which was such a cool surprise! If you’re looking for incredible Ethiopian food and a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend Ethio Beans! Can’t wait to go back—next time, I have to decide if I get the coffee again or try the tea! ☕“

“I went to Mapleberry for the first time in 10+ years. I had the 2x2+ and a double shot of espresso. the 2x2+ was 2 pancakes with glazed apple, 2 sausage links, and 2 strips of bacon. The food was delicious. The espresso was nice and strong. The service was amazing. I got my food not even 1 minute after I got my espresso. My waitress was very efficient and very friendly. I talked to the owner and she was a blast to talk to. I highly recommend this place for breakfast.“

“Very friendly staff and friendly people that come to Dunkin“

“My favorite Dunkin’, not only because is only blocks away from my home but because there is this lady in the mornings that always wishes you a nice day with a smile, she always tells me, see you tomorrow… she knows I’m there almost every day and her vibe makes me feel really good.“

“Still the best coffee around!! AND you can get it delivered right to your door!“
