50 Best Cafes near Glen Ellyn

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

“Good food and friendly staff.“

“Mey friend there. An hour ride, but worth it. Food was very good. Service EXCELLENT. clean and very friendly. If in the area, I'd certainly consider going back. In short, I liked it!

Parking: No problem. I was there on a Thursday morning and there parking available in there lot.“

“I stopped by the Glen Ellyn Metra train station for some coffee, and got a surprise. It was a real pleasure talking to Mary, who is not only selling great coffee and scones (more tasty and affordable than the chain stores), but working with other stakeholders in the space to keep the building clean while also maintaining a vegetable garden on the grounds surrounding the station. After talking with her, it's obvious to me that she is pursuing a labor of love, and she is a true inspiration. I can't think of a more pleasant way to board the train in the morning, or just hang out for a game of chess when things are quiet during the day. More towns should get creative like this and make these kinds of spaces more inspiring, rather than just a drab place to gather while in a rush to get somewhere else.“

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

“Great Panera Visit Thanks to Gwen!

Had a great experience at Panera Bread—the food was fresh and tasty as always. When I had an issue with my order, manager Gwen stepped in right away and quickly resolved everything. She handled the situation with professionalism and a smile, making sure I left happy. Thanks to Gwen’s outstanding service, I’ll definitely be back!“

“I have ordered out here quite a few times and love the Royal wrap! Food is top notch! I just ate there for the first time today and it got even better. Tasha and the rest of the staff were the highlight today and it is my favorite breakfast place right now! Cannot wait to go there again or at least order the food! Thank you Sweet Orange 🍊 🤘🏼“

“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.“

“Absolutely amazing menu items! My favorites are the açai bowl and the sweet tart refresher. Yum!! Excellent service as well. Highly recommended!“

“The food is fresh. You can taste that they make their own salsa, for example. The veggies on my salad were bright and crisp. In comparison to other places, you can tell you are eating fresh food. The coffee is good. They have lots of seating. Service is friendly, helpful and efficient. Good prices. Local. Easy parking. What more can you ask for? I am excited to try everything on the menu eventually.“

“loved the ENTIRE vibe..I happened to be in the area & Googled coffee shops. I'm so happy I ended up here. Had a London Fog latte, blueberry muffin & avocado bacon toast. My belly was content.“

“visited this fantastic coffee spot in Naperville, Chicago, and I was thoroughly impressed. The place was incredibly clean, with a modern, slick, and urban interior that felt inviting and fresh. There’s also a lovely outdoor seating area where you can bring your pet along, and they even provide fresh water for them—such a thoughtful touch!

The staff were super friendly, which made the experience even better. As for the coffee, it was absolutely amazing, and the macaroons were to die for, especially the salty caramel flavor. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend stopping by. I will definitely be back!“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“Please is perfect in all aspects.“

“Great food n excellent service“

“This place is amazing! The owners treat you like you are family, the service is impeccable, and the food- wow, the food! More places need to be like this.“

“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!!“

“This is my second time visiting Playroom Cafe Social and it’s truly my favorite play space! 🫶🏼 I’ve been to a variety of play cafes in the area and this one by far is top notch! The drinks and food are delicious and they have a variety of items to choose from for the littles and adults too. The play space itself is GORGEOUS!! Bright, clean, and thoughtfully designed with plenty of slides, climbing structures, and engaging activities to keep little ones entertained. My son absolutely loves it here, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit! I also love that they offer a rewards program, such a nice bonus for parents who plan to come often! I HIGHLY recommend Playroom Cafe Social to any parent looking for a fun and relaxing time to sip your favorite coffee while watching your littles play! 💕“

“great drinks and great service. Best matcha I've ever had“

“I purchased a Biscoff cheesecake and it greatly exceeded my expectations!!“

“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!“

“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!“

““Flirted With My Tastebuds”

Tribute didn’t just feed me they seduced me. The BLT? Crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, juicy tomato, and toast so perfect it deserves its own fan club. Onion rings? Golden halos of happiness. Birria fries? A glorious, cheesy mess I’d gladly ruin a shirt for. Drinks? Smooth enough to make bad decisions taste good. Patio vibes? String lights, sunset skies, and the kind of energy that makes you “accidentally” stay for hours.

Go hungry, leave smitten.“

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

“Really great food, superb pancakes.“

“Went there for the 1st time last Saturday. The service and the food were both excellent. Amber was on top of everything and was very knowledgable about the menu items. Husband had a ‘skillet’ breakfast and I had the granola/berry French toast. We left very little food and we didn’t need much to eat afterwards. The food was filling and kept us going until late afternoon. I recommend this restaurant and will be back! Highland Village Texas location“

“by far the best lemon Greek soup and saganaki! such a gem!“

“Clean establishment, good food can't ask for anything more!!! Quick and great service“

“Look I'm not a very big coffee drinker, but WOW! I didn't get the pleasure of meeting the "Barista" my work partner picked up the coffee as I hung back in work van. We picked up the some potent stuff and by gawd it was DELICIOUS!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Give this place a shot, I honestly believe you'll enjoy it. Looking forward to my visit hopefully very soon...“

“Nice efficient and great service; items sold are also very good“

“Cashier was courteous! First timer here, I had the Turkey Avocado and it was delicious!!! It will be my ne go to Sandwiches!!!“

“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 visited a charming establishment today with a laid-back vibe, perfect for enjoying the slot machines. The cleanliness was remarkable, making it a pleasant space to play. Our host, Omar, was incredibly attentive, checking in regularly to enhance our experience. A great spot for a relaxing gaming outing! Highly recommended!

Parking: Plenty of free parking.“

“This place is superb. The food quality, portions, and service are A+. I recommend the skirt steak breakfast, omelets, and broccoli soup. The seating area is slightly tight, but not a big deal. The waitress we had was very friendly and attentive.“

“Best Mediterranean food around quality value and family friendly. Staff is the best! It’s a must.“

“This breakfast/brunch place is phenomenal. My 1st visit to a First Watch and we were not disappointed. The coffee, food and service (Jordan was our waiter) were terrific. Jordan was attentive and kept us happy. I would recommend this place to all!“

Well today my best friend and I ate there and were extremely pleased with the attentive service and excellent food. The omelet was chock full of ingredients, the pancakes soft and fluffy and the Banana Nut French toast was delicious!
Give it a try if you like plentiful servings of delicious food at a good price!“

“My church! Such an amazing and friendly church to be part of. I often sit with my two good friends Lara Roefer and Shelley Egeland and we have enjoyed every service. The way the pastors break down the explaining of the Bible, really gets me going, positively of course ❤️? This church has so much to offer. If you want a REAL family oriented church, then this is for you. Everyone is excepting. Even if you go solo, you'll be warmly invited to meet after service so you can make some new friends. God is the way, the only way! * Thank you to all the pastors and staff of Yellow Box. You're so appreciated ? ?“

“I would like to send a shout out to our waitress, Sabrena! She made our trip to this restaurant an enjoyable one! She was very personable, constantly checked in to make sure we had whatever we needed, and had a great sense of humor! We will definitely be back - especially if we can be seated in her section again!“

“A very unassuming place, that serves the best food at probably the cheapest prices anywhere. The owner and his adorable wife, are both from Albania. She speaks Albanian & Greek and excellent English. The husband stays back in the kitchen creating the excellent food and the wife serves patrons out front. If you're not on a particular diet, and just want some good old-fashioned wholesome diner-type food, this is place.“
