50 Best Cafes near Clarendon Hills

“My go-to coffee is from the Little Creperie. I used to be a starbucks drinker, and now I can’t ever go back to it after tasting the quality of Little Creperie’s coffees. My absolute favorites are the Honey Lavender Latte, Pistachio Creme Latte, and Mocha. Not only do the coffees taste amazing, but the presentation is so cute!!“

“Best chicken salad and macaroni salad I've ever had!“

“I have only been here a few times but have never been disappointed. They have amazing customer service in person and over the phone. They go above and beyond. The food is amazing as well. It’s a very welcoming vibe and the prices are very reasonable.“

“Saw this place on TikTok. Did not disappoint! The fresh pasta is awesome and the paninis out of this world. Not to mention, large selection of fresh gelato was a plus.“

“Best Cheese cake I've Ever Had 5 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟“

“Everything I’ve had from here has been delicious! Highly recommend!“

“By far the best sandwiches in southwest burbs. Besides that, you have to try their soups and fresh bakery treats. 5 stars all around!“

“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!“

“Good food and friendly staff.“

“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 :)“

“I purchased a Biscoff cheesecake and it greatly exceeded my expectations!!“

“Please is perfect in all aspects.“

“Brewpoint is a gem in the Western suburbs of Chicago. I am entirely blessed to live blocks from their craft location on York. Exposed brick, chandeliers, and a plant wall surrounds you - a grateful reprieve from cookie cutter Starbucks decor. Coffee, matcha, and baked goods are top notch (haven't tried cocktails or charcuterie yet). A wonderful mix of professionals, college students, community organizers, and socially conscious suburban moms escaping the kids (I'm sure I'm missing wonderful others). Sometimes I'm not sure how I manage to keep living in the suburbs when the city is still home for me after 10 years in Elmhurst, but Brewpoint certainly makes it easier.“

“Great food n excellent service“

“This is a good breakfast spot I've been to 3 times now. I've had the eggs Benedict, burrito suizo, and healthy scrambler.

Only the eggs Benedict blew me away. The burrito looks delicious but is kinda bland. The scrambler was nothing better than what I could make at home.

My partner had oatmeal today and actually that was really good. She order crepes in the past that were good tasting too.

There are very few breakfast restaurants I feel are worth going to these days.“

“Great atmosphere! Amazing Service! Perfect for gathering here when meetups occur! I always bring a crowd of attendees with me from Galloping Ghost Arcade here for the fur meets I run just blocks down!“

“Yum. The food was fantastic.“

“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.“

“The cafe is awesome! Great people and always great service! They giving you the best they got and it’s at highest standards! You will not be disappointed!“

“Be very relaxed, peaceful and a nice menu to choose from👍🏼“

“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. 😋“

“Enough variety in the menu to keep things interesting. Everything I've ever eaten here has been excellent including some truly amazing soups. The staff is wonderful. What more could anyone want in a restaurant? I love this place!“

“A great neighborhood find! We took our children, and both of them only ate a few bites of their shared sandwich #toddlerlife. The server noticed they didn't each much of their sandwich and banana and brought them complimentary rice and beans which they ate a TON of (to my surprise). They truly went above and beyond to ensure our family was well fed and had a great time. The live music was an added bonus. Would highly recommend!“

“Really great food, superb pancakes.“

“food is always great, great variety, delicious, but especially the service is the best. my favorite for breakfast .“

“The lemon ricotta cookies are amazing! Also Spimoni or Italian ice are delicious as well!“

“They have some amazing people working. The games are fun and the LAVANDER lemonade . wow.. Will be back time n time again 🎰“

“From the cocktail to dessert, with apps, entrees, and sides between, another great dinner. Sunday night, so it was quiet (we've been there Fri and Sat and it is buzzing!), and it was perfect for conversation. Love the evergreens such as escargot, duck, chicken, and those fantastic carrots! Service is always informal yet excellent and we appreciate that.“

“Went there for the 1st time last Saturday. The service and the food were both excellent. Amber was on top of everything and was very knowledgable about the menu items. Husband had a ‘skillet’ breakfast and I had the granola/berry French toast. We left very little food and we didn’t need much to eat afterwards. The food was filling and kept us going until late afternoon. I recommend this restaurant and will be back! Highland Village Texas location“

“The Prairie Café in Elmhurst is one of those rare gems hidden in plain sight. The husband-and-wife team are so amazing, we go out of our way once a year to when we are in Chicago to go there for breakfast. Mimi in the front of the house remembers what we like to the person for all five of us. The prices are on the low side and the portions generous. Two things stand out though the repartee with Mimi tops the list, but the nuanced flavors bring back memories of how my mother made it. Eating here is more than getting a great breakfast at a good price, it’s a step back, in time and attitude. It is a full-on experience. Tell Mimi you read the review from the guys that visit only once a year.“

“One of my fav breakfast spots to go to. The fact that they give me a whole pitcher of water and coffee makes my experience the best. I don’t have to wave down a waiter for coffee or water continuously. Instead I have it at my fingertips at my leisure. I don’t know why more restaurants do this. The servers are always great. The food is great. The atmosphere is great. It’s just pleasant all around. Definitely recommend. Also, they have gluten free options for me!“

“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“

““Flirted With My Tastebuds”

Tribute didn’t just feed me they seduced me. The BLT? Crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, juicy tomato, and toast so perfect it deserves its own fan club. Onion rings? Golden halos of happiness. Birria fries? A glorious, cheesy mess I’d gladly ruin a shirt for. Drinks? Smooth enough to make bad decisions taste good. Patio vibes? String lights, sunset skies, and the kind of energy that makes you “accidentally” stay for hours.

Go hungry, leave smitten.“

“Excellent food , excellent service , clean , great menu, highly recommend“

“I have not found anything that I do not enjoy. All the dessert are wonderful“

“Thank you for amazing service. Between the food and coffee you always have something delicious. The environment is warm and inviting making you feel at home. Thank you for having your space as a same space. I had a wonderful time.“

“Our family loves coming to this location. We’re obsessed with anything pistachio here and the Dubai crepe and Dubai cup are amazing. The staff is always friendly. It does take a while for the order but I don’t mind the wait because the crepes are always warm when served.“

“Family atmosphere food snacks and drinks also adult beverages great place“

“I stopped by the Glen Ellyn Metra train station for some coffee, and got a surprise. It was a real pleasure talking to Mary, who is not only selling great coffee and scones (more tasty and affordable than the chain stores), but working with other stakeholders in the space to keep the building clean while also maintaining a vegetable garden on the grounds surrounding the station. After talking with her, it's obvious to me that she is pursuing a labor of love, and she is a true inspiration. I can't think of a more pleasant way to board the train in the morning, or just hang out for a game of chess when things are quiet during the day. More towns should get creative like this and make these kinds of spaces more inspiring, rather than just a drab place to gather while in a rush to get somewhere else.“

“Great service, great food!“

“Great food, ambiance and service!“

“The daily specials are always delicious and affordable!“

“This breakfast/brunch place is phenomenal. My 1st visit to a First Watch and we were not disappointed. The coffee, food and service (Jordan was our waiter) were terrific. Jordan was attentive and kept us happy. I would recommend this place to all!“

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

“Excellent service and atmosphere, great food options; lots healthy options available. Two of us had breakfast and lattes. Bill was 60ish before tip, so their prices are in line with inner city Chicago rates. Great maple bacon. 15 minutes wait bc the place is busy.“

“My wife, myself, and 2 young kids have been visiting Level Up Cafe & Lounge since they opened. The owners Shawn and Victoria do a great job. The staff is very friendly, they have delicious refreshing protein shakes, smoothies, food, and adult beverages. We absolutely love the atmosphere and free arcade with purchase. There are always young children there whom our kids are always playing with. It’s a great social, playful, and friendly place to be. We highly recommend Cafe Level Up & Lounge for a fun night out!!“
