“This place is the new spot for our cozy family gatherings now! We loved the warm atmosphere and authenticity in every small detail. Tea and Turkish coffee in a pot were 10/10! We were treated like dear friends and will definitely come back!“

“I've been driving past Casa de Crepes for awhile and I finally got to go. I ordered a café de Olla and it was delicious, just the way I remember it as a kid. I ordered a savory crepe and a sweet one. yum!!! can't wait to go back!!!“

“Great coffee and savory items are delicious.“

“Visiting from out of town and this place came up when searching for brunch nearby. Hostess was very welcoming and attentive. Ordered the salmon sandwich and grilled avocado sandwich as well as the kale smoothie. Everything was delicious. Really glad we got to try this place.“

“One of the friendliest spits in Chicago. The food is good - outstanding sausage, and you have to have their home-made salsa - and it's an incredible bargain, especially their breakfast "sidewalk special."“

“What an opportunistic find. Don’t pass by the little green door !!“

“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.“

“Bought a Cherry pie from Will's for the fourth of July! It was one of the best pies I ever had! Tons of cherries in the pie. Well worth the price.“

“Amazing food. Staff was great and the owner likes Kola Champagne lol so he stocks it. Perfect way to celebrate my kids' graduations. Hopefully I can host a Cars and Coffee there. Best of luck, we will spread the word.“

“Had the paczki's and they were excellent. Super friendly service and was surprised at how much they offer on the menu (full bakery, coffee, sandwiches)-can't wait to go back!“

“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!“

“Stopped in this morning after reading about their homemade truffles! Place is SUPER cute. Service was informative and friendly. Truffles = delish!! Can't wait to catch a performance here soon!“

“Atmosphere is warm and inviting. The crepes are excellent! I had both savory and sweet and liked them both! They were wrapping up a crêpe cake for someone when we were there. It looked amazing! We will definitely be back! (Yes, the staff wear masks!)“

“Bright, open, comfortable space for people meeting up in pairs, groups, or working solo. Outlets available along walls under bench seating. Two bathrooms divide the front room from the more dim/ "cozier" room in the back, which offers additional seating in the form of larger, wider tables. Acoustics are decent for the size and height of the ceiling /open brick space. Ironically this cafe has a quiet ambience that makes it great for working on a laptop with headphones on without getting distracted by the typical loud, jarring sounds normally heard at smaller or more common cafes. Music is not too distracting or loud, and features a wide range of genres. I think the staff changed it up manually to mix it up every hour or so. It didn't sound too generic or predictable. Also, the staff here are extremely friendly, knowledgeable, sweet, and cheery, and made suggestions to customers while they ordered. I loved my cold brew and Lorraine Croissant which was heated up. The absolutely gorgeous and enviable "living wall" full of real plants ? at the front is an AWESOME use of vertical wall space. It is always great to see businesses using real plants. I also appreciate the subtle stylish additions like the pretty chandeliers and beautiful metal hand-created signage on the other walls. Metal chairs at the tables near the other side of the cafe are not that comfortable after awhile, but not terrible either. Bathrooms are accessible for all needs and there is a high chair near the bar if you need one for a kid. Parking is tricky as the lots in the front and back can fill up quickly at the start of the day/midday.

Wheelchair accessibility: Open space allows for wheelchair accessibility at tables, in bathrooms, and when ordering. Doors do not open automatically though.“

“Yum. The food was fantastic.“

“I’ve been here a few times and have always appreciated the friendliness of the staff, the variety of drink and food options, and the space/atmosphere.

It’s a great spot for remote work, though it can get quite popular, so it might not be ideal if you need a quieter environment!“

“Cute little coffee shop. Excellent cannolis. Very friendly service.“

“Great food n excellent service“

“Deserves more than 5 stars! WONDERFUL experience each time I come here. Everything made from scratch. Not just pierogi ---Gelato, soups, empanadas, tamales, pizza pie (takes 50 mins to make from scratch and worth it!!) Premium Belgium chocolates, shakes, Coffee and most recent.....160 (yes one hundred and sixty) different premium teas from around the world!!.....and more to come! They also own the tea room and book store next to the cafe. Owners are THE BEST! Welcoming, personable and humorous. Dinning outside available and pups are welcome! You can tell they have a passion for the business. HIGHLY recommend! ENJOY!“

Parking: The parking lot is large and free, even trucks can park.

Kid-friendliness: And good food for kids and adults.“

“The prices are reasonable, but the drinks, for example, I think they are overpriced at 6.50, for a 20-ounce water, I think it is too much, I also asked for only a glass with water and ice and they charged me 1.50, in other places the water is free, in short everything else is fine.“

“Very nice restaurant and delicious food For the first time there i am very thankful to our server Dilnaz and specially the girl Sky who explained and recommended what should I try and make sure everything was OK Thank you Thank you“

“went there for lunch yesterday, had a jibarito de pollo everything on it. that was super fresh and delicious, came with rice, the rice can do better tho, I felt like I got the pegao ( bottom of the rice ). definitely going to give it a try again. But definitely 10/10 recommend“

“Every time I walk into FitFuel Fusion, I'm greeted with the friendliest smiles. The staff here always makes me feel welcome, and the positive energy is contagious.

One of the best things about FitFuel Fusion is the guilt-free indulgence. Their smoothies are packed with protein and taste amazing, but what really blows my mind are the donuts. Who knew you could enjoy a donut and still feel good about your choices? Here, it's a reality. These protein-packed treats let me satisfy my cravings without any guilt.

And let’s not forget the free workouts they offer! The sessions are awesome—challenging yet fun—and make it even easier to stay on track with my fitness goals. Combining a great workout with a delicious, nutritious post-workout smoothie makes FitFuel Fusion the perfect place for both health and happiness.

If you're looking for a spot that fuels your body, keeps you motivated, and satisfies your sweet tooth, FitFuel Fusion is the place to be. Highly recommend!“

“I just tried a mini pumpkin pie that was served at a wedding a few days ago. The pie was delicious and the crust was still flaky and perfect - and that’s after a few days! I can’t wait to take my family to the shop. As a mother to a daughter with Down Syndrome, I absolutely love supporting businesses like this. Thank you for creating job opportunities for people like my daughter!“

“First off this was my 1st visit to this location and it is so cute!!! The atmosphere is so chill and inviting. The owner is super nice! Tried the Crepes for the 1st time and they were delicious! Now I usually visit Tower Nutrition because it's by my house, but this is his wife's location and closer to my job so... I was ecstatic to learn I could get my healthy eats while at work as well.“

“quick, friendly, delicious“

“This place is so adorable and everything is fresh. We got watermelon, kiwi, and lemon which were all Delicious especially the watermelon. We also got the churro cheesecake bites that were to die for! The woman was so sweet to give us a sample of some tomato soup, as well. Will definitely be a new regular!“

“Best coffee hot or iced, I’ve also had the iced matcha.. does not disappoint. I have to try their food soon“

“The food here is amazing especially regarding how many gluten free dishes they have. They have the largest gluten free dessert menu I’ve ever seen! So many delicious options that I just keep coming back. They also have a modern, but warm atmosphere that is delightful. This place is clearly a hidden gem and a must try!“

“I had a great time at this lovely little restaurant last night. I was so excited to try it and I love French food. We ordered almost every appetizer and they were all fantastic. My favorites were the venison steak tartare, and the salad lyonnaise. I had the duck for my entree and it was incredible. My friends had the steak tartare and the sausages as their entrees and they were super happy. Wine was also awesome. I can't wait to go back and try more.“

“Unexpected gem in Berwyn. I listened to Billy Holliday as I ordered my Tony Montana coffee with 2 shots of expresso. All sorts of interesting pictures hanging on the walls to look at as you wait: of movies, starlets and stars from bygone eras... pretty swell joint.“

“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“

“The Lattes and pastelitos were delicious!“

“I’ve worked with the Owners of Artist Room cafe as an instructor for paint and sip parties. This is also the place I hosted my first Paint and Sip Party. The venue is very nice clean and cozy. Their staff is very friendly, helpful, professional and responsive. There was never a hassle with booking, excellent communication and their rates are affordable. Every visit, the vibes in the building is nothing short of amazing! They make sure you’re comfortable and make you feel like family! I love working with them and very grateful to come across their business. They’re always hosting different events so make sure to check back with them to see what they have next .“

“Incredible food and service!! Loved the atmosphere and everything we ordered was perfect! We will definitely be back!“
