50 Best Cafes near Darien

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

“Nice ladies at front, pretty decent coffee. I’ve played these exact machines at highest wager at many places and I do believe the payout on wins is tweaked down a bit here. Probably would recommend going to an actual casino or maybe at a bar not designated for slots.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I have always been happy w everything about this place. I’ve talked about it ad nauseam to everyone who will listen 😂. The service, the people, the food ? 10/10. I love coming here“

“Good food and friendly staff.“

“This is hands down our favorite restaurant. We eat here at least twice a week, and the consistency is one of the main reasons we keep coming back. The service is warm, efficient, and always welcoming. The chicken skewers are outstanding. Perfectly seasoned, tender, and cooked just right every time. They are flavorful without being heavy, and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. The Greek salad is equally impressive. Crisp vegetables, generous feta, balanced dressing, and always fresh. It is simple, but done exceptionally well. When a restaurant can deliver this level of quality consistently multiple times a week, that says everything. We highly recommend it.“

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

“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!!“

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

“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.“

“coolest coffee place in cambria staff was unbelievable will be come back great food and even better drinks“

“My wife and I have been to Petite Vie several times over the last few years. For the handful of times we've been there, we've enjoyed the great food.

However, the service is equal to the food, which helps in rounding out a restaurant that you'll want to come back to. Also, there's a nice, lively atmosphere that we enjoyed during our time there.

The food was on point and presented beautifully. The wine list was well represented with nice selections of bottles and wines by the glass.

If you're looking for a great restaurant in the western suburbs, give Petite Vie a try. You'll enjoy the food, the service and the wine.“

“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!“

“Love, love, love this place and that it’s so close to home! Chill atmosphere, good tunes and they support other local businesses and artists. If you haven’t tried the “Wildflower” it’s a must! 🍃☕️🤎“

“We love the healthy food and the amazing owner.“

“This was a great place to eat! We tried it yesterday, during our trip, and were throughly pleased with it all. The restaurant looks great, service was fast, and the food was delicious. I’d recommend this to others.“

“Great food great services. Clean five star operation.“

“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“

“First things first, the food was honestly okay. The steak skillet didn't have too much steak, was a bit chewy, but otherwise it filled myself up and had some good flavor. The pancakes were not that great, they were a bit spongy and didn't taste as good as I'd like but pretty standard for a breakfast place
Now, the service was a different story, honestly my server made me feel very comfortable, speedy delivery, no mistakes whatsoever, kind and sweet. I I would keep going here again and again just because I feel very welcome in this establishment.“

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

“The best place for desserts in the whole wide world! I just can't help coming back every single week. Every dessert I try is even better than the last. If you have a sweet tooth, coming here is an absolute must. The service is a 10/10.“

“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.“

“This little bakery/cafe is a hidden gem! They have a huge variety of fruit teas and milk teas! their cakes and sweet treats are beautiful and super trendy! We love the can cakes and the ice taro mochi cakes!“

“Thanks for the vegan offerings. My family and I enjoyed our meals very much. Super tasty!!!“

“Súper recomendado exelente atención rica comida todo rápido los precio muy bajo hay 10/10“

“I love this Dotty's location...The friendliest and best location to gamble at...Dotty's locations near me are not as friendly and not a good atmosphere in locationThe owners are very nice.I always tip more than a dollar when the lady owner is here. ;)Great location though...“

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

“Quick slot play another Slot house be prepared to stuff money into these timed machine, kills time, outing, whatever come win or Loss Timed Machines don't loss your time . Some Host don't offer you have to ask to be served. They need to work on that, only Tip for them is to get a better job and not assume a tip“

“I use to go to dottys all the time with my partner until we met a lady that was highly unprofessional we would play weekly over at dottys. Now we come here and the lady we see is super lovely she works around night time just love her will always take our business here from now on. Dottys is a unacceptable place to play at we don't not go there anymore the manager/boss didn't even call us back for a update about the situation we had the cooperate number told us we would receive a call back and it's been about a month so I had to recall and it's been about a week and no update. We will play here from now on super peaceful place and lovely worker we see all the time has a lot of respect for the customers and ask if we would like a drink right away. Love this place!“

“I work in the building so this Cafe is super convenient. They offer paninis, sandwiches, wraps, and salads. They also have a full salad bar with 2 soups of the day. Today they had Chicken Chili and Italian Wedding. I got a cup of the chili and it was pretty good - had chunks of chicken and the sauce was flavorful. They also rotate out a Cream of Mushroom, Chicken Tortilla, Chicken & Rice, and Chef’s Choice.

I also got the chicken salad croissant. That was pretty good as well. It’s a self-serve checkout station where you scan your items to pay. All the employees are so nice and accommodating.

There’s also loads of seating with tvs and a lounge area. They also serve breakfast starting at 8:00 on certain days of the week. I got a sausage, egg, and cheese on a jalapeño bagel and it was fire. And it only came to $6.73. What a steal!“

“Okay listen, l was there Friday playing the slots l put a $20 bill in the change machine and only received $5 back so l inform the person that was working there and told him l put $20 and got back $5 so he called the machine man come at look at it, to make a long story short the man came fixed the machine l gave them my information still have not heard from any one just as of yet!
