50 Best Cafes near Evergreen Park

“Bialy’s always has a very friendly staff, atmosphere, and great food. You can essentially get anything on their menu (breakfast/lunch/dinner) from open to close. A small detail I always love is their refried beans, definitely far better than comparable restaurants.“

“Everything a matcha latte should be. Balanced in every way. Also ordered a bagel sandwich which was pretty good - as an East Coaster bagels in Chicago just don’t hit the same however it was decent. Definitely a bit pricey but overall worth it!“

“Visited a friend/wfh for a week and went to this cafe which was a few blocks away. Had it been a lot further away, having tried it already, I would have still gone back every day for my morning coffee! I love everything about this place…the vibe, the nod to a history and niche-ish subject of yesteryear, the friendly staff, and the coffee itself was delicious. One of the owners was present twice I was there and was very friendly - I wanted to buy a shirt but they didn’t have my size and he looked in the back and made sure the size wasn’t available before I left. Anytime I’m in Chicago, I will be back and will be ordering a shirt online. 10000/10!!!!“

“A must try cafe with a great vibe; especially if you can sit on the patio.

The pecan pie is my favorite. The garlic chicken is excellent, and the chicken margherita on Dutch crunch is a must try. The chicken pesto on a French baguette is also fantastic.“

“good coffee and great service!“

“Amazing food and great customer service“

“i love buenos days!
great coffee, the friendliest staff. they offer adventurous drinks as well as your classics. the cafe itself is clean and airy with lots of natural light making it a great place to meet with friends or hunker down with your laptop. i have seen it quickly become a watering hole/ community space for this neighborhood. 💗“

“Great food for the whole family!“

“Very well thought out menu, great service, welcoming and pleasant ambience!“

“Thank you so much Cafe El Menson for your generous donation to my kindergarten classroom today. My students really enjoyed the Arroz con Gandules. I cannot thank you enough!“

“Very clean and cute place. We tried some milkshakes, boba refreshers, iced coffee and mini pancakes and EVERYTHING was absolutely delicious!“

“Everything you could want on their menu trust me“

“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“

“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.“

“First time and Wednesday will be my hang day for now on. Great vibes and plenty laid back and free spirit nothing wild. Amazing spot to chill out.“

“The food is fire…period!!!“

“Best cake i have ever had. My daughter's friend introduced us to tres leches cake. She was with us and she said this was the best tres leches cake she has ever had. We agreed. 200% recommend stopping here if you ever get to Chicago or live there.“

“Wow this place is gorgeous, I first walked in and thought I was transported to a different place, but I do have some bad things to say other than the good food, me and my friend had there crepes and they were delicious but not worth the 14 dollars for the pizza slice portion they gave us. The complaint I have was that the used all of the budget on the dining room but couldn’t afford to spruce up the restrooms. The floor in the bathrooms was cracking, the toilet was leaking, the door had to be slammed closed because it wasn’t on the hinges properly. The employee outside of the bathroom was also smoking indoors. Food was delish though!“

“I’ve seen this place in my neighborhood for quite some time and decided to try it out and I’m glad I did. Their sandwiches are absolutely delicious! And great value too. I definitely will recommend this place to friends and family :)“

“Yesterday I took the Sourdough Breadmaking Class with Chef George at The Ancestral Oven and I just pulled an amazing loaf of bread out of my home oven 24 hours later! Chef George provided all the necessary instruction and supplies - including a lively starter - for students to start their own sourdough journey at home. The class included hands-on experience feeding the starter, as well as folding and shaping the dough. I had a great time at the class and can't wait to return to try out the breakfast and lunch menu at The Ancestral Oven Bakery and Cafe.“

“there make great refreshers“

“We loved talking with the helpful man behind the counter. He took the time to explain the various chocolates that they sell. The way in which the fabricating of the chocolate is controlled in such a richly authentic way won me over. My granddaughter loved the samples that we were given. I will be back to buy more bars and to try the hot chocolate. I am thinking that these bars would make lovely gifts. You are a great addition to the Pilsen vibe! Judy DeLeon“

“If you’re looking for a variety of delicious pan(Mexican sweet bread) and cafe(coffee) or tea, this is a ONE STOP SHOP!
They serve the smoothest cold brew and richest cafe de olla!
Now— “early bird gets the worm” as they sell out fast(bread.)
They are open later than most local cafes(6 pm) and have the BEST team. Not only are they phenomenal with drink recommendations but the customizations they cater towards their customers provides the best quality of coffee you can experience!
Anything and everything you can think of they might have. If not, ask for a recommendation; I can almost BET you will not be disappointed!“

“This place hands down has some of the BEST tasting Cuban food I have ever tried. You can taste the intent behind there dishes. Don't get me started on their coffee either. Their prices and portions are decent too. I've never had a bad experience here. Highly recommend trying their food & beverages.“

“My family and I found this cafe on google just looking for something to eat after going to the vehicle emissions testing center not too far away. It's right on the corner, very cute sign. Atmosphere was calm and welcoming. Brittany greeted us and helped us make our final decisions with expert input. She told us the food was good but MAANNNN was the food good! I had the chicken pesto panini and a matcha latte. You can really taste all the love they put into all the ingredients! Honestly the best money we've spent on food (going out) in a long time. My son couldn't put the chocolate chip coconut granola bar down...so good!“

“Every time I go, everything is delicious. Had the Cubano Sandwich today along with a tasty cup of java!“

“I had brunch here today with a friend, first time here. I had the corned beef benedict and not only was it the best corned beef I've ever had in my life, but the orange juice was amazing, the service was great, and the value was fabulous also! Will definitely be back and plan to possibly go once a week with friends! 10 out of 10 recommend!“

“The matcha isn’t high quality but it was a high quality matcha latte. I feel like you could only understand if you get one and try it lol. Super sour and bitter americanos. I want to try their food sometime bc I feel like the food is probably really great“

“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. 😋“

“I placed an order to go. Was informed that there was a $3.00 to go charge and a gratuity would be added on the order cause it was over $100.00. After I checked the receipt, $18.35 was the gratuity. I thought it would be maybe $5.00. Very disappointed. Had I known this, I would have come into the restaurant and ate there had them provide me with service. I am a senior and that was definetly not right. I've already instructed my family not to get me gift card from Maple and Jam.“

“The coffee is excellent, the food never disappoints, and the atmosphere is perfect whether you’re relaxing or getting work done. What really makes it special is the customer service—everyone is so kind and welcoming, and you can tell they genuinely care about their customers. It feels like more than just a coffee shop.“

“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! 🍃☕️🤎“

“good coffee and great service!“

“best coffee and awesome food“

“Phenomenal and reasonably priced boba drinks, the tapioca here is SOO GOOD (sweet and perf texture), delicious green tamales (got one just to try, super impressed, would have bought a dozen if they weren’t so expensive @2.75/ea), amazing service, clean, and welcoming environment!! 10000/10“

“Great chicken, sandwiches, and smoothies“

“Excellent taste. No need for sugar or cream. The aroma is magical and it leaves you craving for one more cup. The flavor reminds me of sipping on a cup of coffee on a early morning, in the mountains of Mexico. Definitely an excellent cup of coffee no matter the time of day or weather.“

“Delicious food-Awesome Service Will recommend and hope to return soon.“

“The hospitality here is just as AMAZING as the popcorn and doughnuts!! 🙌🏽 I highly recommend u stop by and check them out!! U’ll Thank me later 💯😘“

“I’m so lucky to have CTRL Z in the neighborhood. It’s hands down one of the best spots in the city for coffee. The staff is also very lovely.“

“Clean, friendly, 6 large tvs, bar snacks and great drinks. I recommend!“

“The best coffee made by Vito Brancatto! I now have my sister hooked and will travel from the South Side to join me for the best coffee. Mr. Brancatto will not disappoint.“

“Staff was very friendly and helpful, we got roll matcha icecream, the staff provided us option whether if we wanted to watch our ice cream be prepared. So we did, we also ordered fries, my kid really wanted fries and it did not disappoint. This establishment was very beautiful and clean, you do need password to use bathroom, they will give you a code :). Highly recommended“

“I love to visit Pablo's on a Wednesday to support Patricia. She is a GREAT bartender. Her personality is the reason to patronize Pablo's. She's here on Wednesdays & Fridays. As Arnold would say, "I'll be back"“

“went last night with my son. very rushed. I ordered a meal with spring rolls as an appetizer. they came with my meal, not before. my son ordered a chicken and rice meal, took a bitr and hated it. they refused to take it off my bill. 88$ for a meal for my sonnamd I and he didn't eat his meal. didn't offer another meal or anything. other restaurants would have made it right. theives. my left overs leaked through my bag going home. nor happy. we also felt obligated to tip even though server was rude and dint know about the 20% charge that's automatically charged“
