50 Best Coffee Shops near Deerfield

“Wild roasters have one of the best-roasted coffee in town. They make sure everything is freshly made and is served to perfection. Highly recommended and a must-try.“

“WOW WOW WOW !!! AMAZING cookies and so beautiful too“

“Newly remodeled and just re-opened. Was nice inside! Recommend kiwi-lemonade refresher!“

“dobra kawa ! i miła obsluga“

“I went through the drive-through and ordered a” Cappuccino Blast(coffee with vanilla ice cream and ice plus whipped cream and cinnamon).
Last time o came here for this the service was a bit slow but this time they were quick with it! And it tasted great! I’ll definitely be back.“

“Tried this location this past January after roaming around Northbrook Court and just as good as any LF location I've been to.

I apologize in advance that really the only thing I've ever had at any Liquid Fusion location for the most part is bubble tea.

Had the Strawberry Bingsu once which was good at the SW Northbrook location (it really is Glenview) but it's mostly the bubble tea my family & I come for.

My now 10-year-old son loves Taro bubble tea which is really the only flavor he's ever ordered in any boba house we've been to.

Good boba at fair prices in a clean & laid back atmosphere with friendly service. We live pretty far north in Beach Park but if ever in the area again, Liquid Fusion is a GO.“

“Excellent experience from friendly staff. Highly recommend“

“This place is a gem! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by how kind and knowledgeable the staff was. The girl who helped me was so sweet, super patient, and explained everything perfectly. You can really tell they care about the customer experience and make sure you feel comfortable and taken care of. Now let’s talk about the lemonades—WOW. Infused and delicious, it was honestly one of the best lemonades I’ve ever had. And the baked goods? Incredible. Soft, flavorful, and just the right amount of kick. Everything I tried was amazing, and I can’t wait to go back and try more. I seriously love, love, love this place. The staff, the products, the vibe—Blazed Bakery is on point. Thank you for such an awesome experience!“

“Best boba I’ve ever had, amazing!!!“

“I come here because they do pour-overs. Really Good pour-overs. (If they're busy, multi-tasking staff may miss the correcting timing so the extractions are suboptimal and may alter the taste in the negative.) But still a great coffee - I'm nitpicking.

I enjoy this more than the other places in Libertyville because the barista's really know their products - every one I've talked with has been able to discuss each coffee with knowledge that helps me learn. And oh so friendly, nice people who work there.

Pastry choices are limited, so-so in taste, and too sugary for me (donuts, muffins) They could use some nice croissants, chocolate croissants, morning buns, etc. If they partnered with Hewn Bakery it would be perfect. (I will often get coffee to go, and bring my own Hewn to eat outside at the benches.)“

“Absolutely delightful atmosphere and I loved my latte!“

“Thank you, Backlot Coffee, for letting us use our personal cups again and helping to protect the environment.“

“This is a fantastic place to get breakfast whenever you are heading to work on weekday rush hour!“

“This coffee shop has the best atmosphere - inside AND outside! The inside was very clean and modern. Baked goods (cinnamon) were fresh and delicious as was the hot chocolate! Friendly staff.
The outside was my favorite part: Great for people-watching (large corner lot). Heaters were installed ON the awnings, which covered the entire table, and not just on a tall pole on part of the table. The best part was the doggy Biscuit Bar - awesome, varied dog treats and water on an outdoor cart. See photos
This coffee shop has thought of everything!!!“

“great coffee! its very cozy“

“A fantastic neighborhood café with standout seasonal drinks, an impressive pastry selection, and genuinely friendly staff. The owner is incredibly welcoming and creates a space that feels like home. They regularly host family‑friendly events and vendor markets, making the café a true community hub.“

“The best coffee shop in Highland Park/Deerfield area! Best customer service and perfect atmosphere for work meeting, reading a book or grabbing coffee with a friend!“

“Friendly service and great donuts!“

“Non-sweetened almond milk for my lattes, unlike Starbucks.“

“If I could give this place more than five stars, I absolutely would. From the moment I walked through the door, I felt an immediate sense of comfort, warmth, and genuine hospitality that you don’t often find anymore. This coffee shop has perfected the balance between great ambience, exceptional coffee, and truly memorable service — and that combination makes it stand out above the rest.
First, the atmosphere:
The interior is beautifully designed: cozy but spacious, modern yet still incredibly inviting. There are comfortable seating options for everyone — whether you want to tuck away in a quiet corner with a book, spread out your laptop and get some work done, or sit at a window table and people-watch. Soft music plays in the background, at a perfect volume that adds to the vibe without overpowering conversations. The space is bright and airy during the day, thanks to the big windows, and feels warm and intimate in the evening with the soft lighting. It’s the kind of place you walk into and immediately think, “Yes… this is where I want to spend some time.”
Now, the coffee — absolutely phenomenal.
You can tell that the baristas here genuinely care about what they’re doing. The espresso is rich, smooth, and expertly pulled; the lattes are silky and balanced; and the specialty drinks are incredible without being overly sweet or artificial. Everything tastes thoughtfully crafted. I ordered a latte (my usual test of a new café) and it was one of the best I’ve had in a long time — velvety microfoam, deep coffee flavor, and perfectly served at the right temperature. I’ve since tasted a few of their signature drinks and each one impressed me: creative, unique, and absolutely delicious.
Their pastries and food deserve a shout-out too.
Fresh, flaky, and flavorful — exactly what you want alongside great coffee. You can tell they pay attention to quality and don’t just rely on pre-packaged items like many shops do. Whether you grab a croissant, a muffin, or something more hearty, everything feels intentional and homemade.
And I can’t forget the staff — truly wonderful people.
Helpful, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. They greet you like you’re a regular, even if you’re here for the first time. They take time to explain the menu, offer recommendations, and somehow stay patient and cheerful even during the busy rush. They strike that perfect balance of being attentive without hovering.
All in all, this coffee shop has become one of my favorite places to relax, work, or meet friends. It’s the sort of spot that makes you want to linger, order one more drink, and come back again the next day. If you’re looking for high-quality coffee, a comfortable atmosphere, and staff who truly care about offering a great experience, look no further.
Absolutely 5 stars — can’t recommend it enough! 🌟✨“

“We stumbled up this gem in Northbrook! Honey grilled pork with jalapeño was amazing! Viet iced coffee also Fantastic!!
Reilly, the really friendly guy who took our order at the counter, was fabulous! He knew every detail about the menu, even explaining the way combination of ingredients worked together and the flavor profiles. He gave the perfect recommendations! We will definitely be back again very soon!!“

“I literally had the best pancakes I’ve ever had“

“Delightful Barrista & Cafe! Delicious lattes, coffee, tea & coffee drinks, as well as a nice selection of food options.This place has a great vibe. Plenty of seating, and the staff is very warm & welcoming.“

“Hooray for local coffee shops and businesses. Astra is a wonderful coffee shop in the heart of the Ravinia District that always has a handful of neighbors out front during the warmer months. It’s also a great place to bring your laptop and to get some work done.“

“Stopped in for a coffee during my lunch and was very impressed with not only their selection, but with the taste as well! I got the Maple Cardamom and was very good. Highly recommend if in the area!“

“I absolutely love this place! I live in Highland Park, so I find myself visiting often, and each time is a great experience. The service is awesome, and the staff is kind. The only thing is that the music is too loud!!!“

“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.“

“I work with many chambers and I must say The Winnetka-Northfield Chamber is the best. The ladies who work in the Chamber are so upbeat and always friendly. Terry has a very unique gift of guiding shoppers with retailers and connecting people with both Winnetka and Northfield.“

“First time checking this place out, and I’ve got to say the Americano was excellent. Straight up bold and smooth, just how it should be.

They’ve got real baristas here, not some unionizing button-pushers like those other places with the mermaid, and that’s something I really appreciate.

Love supporting local businesses and staying away from the corporate coffee chains. The vibe is solid, laid back but still professional, making it a great spot to either grab a quick coffee or chill for a bit.

If you’re after quality and authenticity, this place is definitely worth the visit.“

“Good coffee ☕, better pastry in a cozy, friendly setting.“

“Everytime we come to this mall, this is one of first things we get. We saw a sign saying they had three variety flavors of horchata drinks and we jsut had to give it a try. Our go to is the Cafe horchata but you can get vanilla or chocolate as well if coffee isn't your go too. I've had them all and they are all delicious.“

“Super cool atmosphere, very friendly and inviting. The tea 🍵 I had was phenomenal. I can't wait to start training with the coaches. Thank you Mount Prospect Illinois for Bringing something so Refreshing to our Community 🙏🏻“

“I really enjoyed this coffee shop!! The vibe is exactly what I needed after a hard day. The staff is incredibly friendly and ready to help you out. The girl who helped me had the most calming voice but with a sweet tone.

I got the sugar free mocha and it was delicious 😋

If you’re in the area, definitely make this coffee shop one of the places you visit!!“

“We were at the Bakester today and they were understaffed. Iliya was there working as hard as he could and was doing a great job. Through no fault of his own and under great pressure, he tried to get the job done to keep the restaurant moving. The food was great.“

“every time I stop at this Scooters location, what I get with my order of coffee is smile, happiness and good vibes. I love this location and what happened yesterday was a cherry on a cake. I did my order on the app, I ordered coffee which wasn't available anymore, I didn't notice time frames and the app allowed me to buy this drink, when I got to pick up window, the girl which works there, very friendly and wonderful young woman apologized so much explaining that they don't have this coffee at that time no more and gave me 3 donuts for that. Every time my experience with Scooters is great! Love it!“

“Marc and Ray were unbelievably interesting, insightful, and above all else tremendous individuals who my brother and I loved interacting with and made our experience fantastic. Usually we do not opt for Starbucks, but they single handedly made us want to come back.“

“Their horchata boba is very flavorful! They also provide board games to play while enjoying their tasty treats, adding to the cozy atmosphere :)“

“The bread is out of this world. My personal favorite is the seeded. The pastries are also very good. What a treasure.“

“Hit the Scooter's drive-thru on a whim over the weekend. Line was short, and we were able to 'scoot' through quickly. Coffee was strong, staff was friendly. I had a coffee with espresso shots and it did the trick - strong. My lady had a Carmel iced drink that she thought was a little sweet, but also good. would come back again and maybe try some of the food options.“

“Stopped by Churro Parlor in Lakeview, and it did not disappoint! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm and inviting. Jennifer was absolutely amazing—she took the time to explain the menu, offered great recommendations, and made sure we had the best experience. The churros were fresh, perfectly crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. We tried a few different flavors, and each one was better than the last! The dipping sauces were the perfect complement. Whether you’re a churro lover or just looking for a sweet treat, this spot is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back! Virtual review : @iam.shonnaaaa“

“I get my work done at Hometown nearly every day, and I just have to give a shoutout to Corey! He is the nicest guy, always going above and beyond to make sure everything is right. No matter what, he makes sure every detail is taken care of and his customer service is unmatched. Best service, atmosphere, and food! Great spot.“

“Such a beautiful place and such a beautiful reminder of homesick people like me :) Loved the Adeni Chai really good on the cinnamon. Visited early morning when it’s not busy so the atmosphere was very quiet. Love not having to drive all the way to Bridgeview to get some bomb chai!!“

“The food was delicious! There were so many options and the customer service was amazing! The worker showed us how to use the machine and was patient throughout the way. I definitely recommend the boba and the croffles. I would come back 100%“

“Chicken and Waffles!!!! Now that there’s a loyalty program I’m going to bring more friends there.“

“I went yesterday when visiting Chicago. I had never had it before but I went by the recommendations of Skokie residents and I was very impressed. I took 6 desserts home to Kentucky and my only regret is I didn’t take more oatmeal raisin cookies. Those were absolutely phenomenal.“

“Stopped in for the first time and will be back again and again! My kids devoured their donuts!! Can’t wait to come back for lunch too! Customer service was amazing too, so friendly and helpful!!“

“Was at Port Clinton Art Fair, had just gotten Italian ice, and saw these beautiful croissants out of the corner of my eye. I quickly did an about face. The Crème Brûlée croissant 🔥🔥and the Almond Croissant 🥇if you guys already do a Koigin Aman, I need to try it, if you don,t, you should!,Your laminated dough is wonderful & buttery, top notch.“

“Best scones! Excited to visit in February!“

“What a cute bakery and seating are. I truly loved the beautiful atmosphere and seating area and the pastries and displayed beautifully. I loved the coffee I had and they had a wide variety of sweets and pastries to enjoy and choose from. Very cute, very instagrammable”
“
I got there pretty early in the morning after opening just not sure how fresh the pastries are in the case after opening. Looks like some may have been sitting for some time. Did not ruin my experience though, I just got coffee.“

“It’s a very cozy place, quiet and clean. I normally order the same drink at least 5 times a week and it’s always good consistently.
Shout out to the young girl with piercings and winter beanie who ALWAYS makes my drink the way I love it. Thank you.“
