50 Best Cafes near Elmhurst

“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.“

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

“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“

“I came upon this café with my boyfriend a while back and I have to say, its the perfect mom and pop breakfast/lunch café. Located in a quiet quaint strip with ample parking. During the summer they even offer outdoor seating to those that would choose. Mimi is always on top of her customer care and knowledge of the menu. You will never have an empty coffee cup and you will always leave in a better mood because of her warm and bubbly personality. That kind of positivity is contagious! Even on slightly busy days, Mimi and her staff work very hard to learn their customers and welcome them back like family. Its very enjoyable observing how warm the staff is to nrw and returning cutomers. This is my favorite breakfast nook now and I know it will be for you too if you truly appreciate a family home-cooked atmosphere <3“

“Best coffee around. The ladies who make the coffee are very nice and delightful 😊 Way better than dunkin and starbucks.“

“Absolutely loved our visit here—this place nails cozy, welcoming, and polished all at once. From the moment we sat down, it felt like a little oasis: plush seating, spotless tables, and thoughtful touches like fresh flowers that instantly elevate the vibe. The coffee was excellent—smooth, well-balanced, and clearly made with care. That latte art alone deserves applause, but the taste backed it up completely. What really stood out was how genuinely warm and family-friendly the atmosphere is. It’s the kind of place where you can relax with a beautifully made coffee while your child feels just as welcome and happy. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and everything arrived promptly. Whether you’re meeting a friend, enjoying a quiet moment to yourself, or stopping in with kids, this café hits the sweet spot between stylish and comfortable. A true neighborhood gem—and definitely a place we’ll keep coming back to. ☕✨“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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 :)“

“High quality trivia night host. Incredible food on a changing menu. Great place to hang with friends and family. Or a great place to sip wine and hang out with one of the many in-house books. Classy and laid back atmosphere.“

“It's a decent breakfast place. Portions are good but it's not cheap. Also I feel like the quality of their food has gone down noticeably since I first went there three years ago, my Mom doesn't want to go here anymore. It's still good enough, but Hen House of Wheaton is down the road and their food is WAY better. But also way more pricey. It's in this weird place where it's not cheap enough for me to want it as a budget option, but the food isn't quite good enough for me to want to have brunch with my parents.“

“Everything you could want on their menu trust me“

“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!“

“I’ve been a proud customer of Al Mary Cafe since day one. I’ve probably tried everything on the menu, and it all tastes amazing! Everything is fresh every day, and the variety is fantastic — you can find anything you want, from soups to desserts. My forever favorites are the manty and the chicken samsy! I highly recommend this family-owned, customer-oriented place.“

“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. 😋“

“Had a lovely Valentine’s Day brunch here! No notes! everything was absolutely phenomenal. The baguette was one of the best I’ve had. Incredible jam and butter to go with it🙂 If I had so say something the soup could’ve used more salt but I could’ve just asked and they’d happily bring more“

“The food was amazing and so was the service. Enjoyed everything we had. Also the espresso martini(s) was pretty good too 😉 Something here for everyone.“

“Dino's has become our after church Sunday morning breakfast spot. There is usually little to no wait despite how busy they are. The food is always excellent and the staff is always very friendly especially with the kids. Best breakfast spot around!“

“Tribute in Villa Park is the coziest, quirky little night spot around! Tribute is not way off the beaten path located across the street from the Villa Park Historical museum and the Illinois Prairie Path.

When you're inside Tribute you just feel at home and you get a neighborly backyard party kind of feeling.

The staff is super friendly and they have a fun trivia night on Wednesdays.

There's a spacious outdoor patio and a cozy banquet/ meeting room with floor to ceiling windows that makes you feel like your outdoors.

Tribute is a great little place!“
