50 Best Cafes near Glen Ellyn

“Good food and friendly staff.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Wonderful food and staff, our server Kristy was warm and attentive. Ask for her! Breakfast menu is expansive!“

“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!“

“Everything about Natures Best shouts fresh, clean, and delicious. I'm a regular and I cook everyday at home but this cafe offers something special. . Simitrio, the owner, calls returning customers my name and runs his business with ❤️- If you've been but not for a while, please out it back in your rotation. If you have never been there - Go check it out! Support a small, local business and enjoy a fantastic fresh meal!!!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Great food n excellent service“

“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 :)“

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

“Sparrow really ticked all the boxes; robust and flavorful espresso in a latte complimented by flavor rather than overpowered by it, delicious grilled cheese with a substantial pull, and very friendly service. Seating is a little bit of a melee but worth it.“

“Please is perfect in all aspects.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Bubo Coffee is a cozy spot with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The coffee is rich and well-prepared, with a nice selection of specialty drinks and seasonal options. Their pastries and small bites pair perfectly with the drinks, and everything feels fresh and thoughtfully made.
The space is modern yet comfortable, making it a nice place to relax, catch up with friends, or even get some work done. Service is generally friendly and attentive, though it can get a little crowded at peak times.
Overall, Bubo Coffee is a great local café worth visiting if you’re looking for quality coffee in a comfortable setting.“

“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!“

“My kids love going to play cafes. We decided to come as a fun thing to do before school starts. my kids had a blast. So many fun little spaces, a lot of space, plenty of seating and clean. The food was excellent, my daughter had the cheese quesadilla and I.had the grilled chicken sandwich. (Chicken sandwich is one of the best I've ever had). I highly recommend and we will be back.“

“Closest thing to a European coffee shop in the area. The coffee is great. The food is good. The portions are generous. The prices are reasonable. The staff is helpful. The room gets loud, but only because everything else here is top notch!!
Wished I had ordered the farmhouse instead of the breakfast sandwich. My friends plate looked better than mine. Sandwich was good. Farmhouse looked incredible…next time!“

“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!“

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

“coolest coffee place in cambria staff was unbelievable will be come back great food and even better drinks“

“This was a great place to eat! We tried it yesterday, during our trip, and were throughly pleased with it all. The restaurant looks great, service was fast, and the food was delicious. I’d recommend this to others.“

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

“We love the healthy food and the amazing owner.“

“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“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“Food is delicious and environment is lovely! 100/10 recommended.“

“Great presentation and the product is delicious!“

“I have not found anything that I do not enjoy. All the dessert are wonderful“

“This breakfast/dinner place is super good. I had the avocado omelette from the special menu was delicious, good presentation, big portion and excellent services. One my friend had the veggie skillet and the other the breakfast chilaquiles also said was great. The prices are pretty decent. Isn’t à big place but with a big selection. For sure will be back anytime. You have the option to have French toast was a plus.“

“Excellent food , excellent service , clean , great menu, highly recommend“

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

“The daily specials are always delicious and affordable!“

“I love my church. They take a stand for biblical truths and stick to it. So very proud to serve here“

“Excellent service and a really nice atmosphere, with plenty of good food choices, especially if you’re looking for healthier options. Two of us had breakfast along with lattes, and the total came to around $60 before tip, which feels pretty typical for inner city Chicago pricing.

The maple bacon was fantastic. We did wait about 15 minutes, but the place was clearly busy, so it made sense. Overall, a great experience.“

“Super place for entertainment , excellent food🍇 and drinks 🍹. I Strongly recommend 👍👍👍“

“I tried Bettina's Tea Cold Brew at the Palos Heights Farmers' Market in 2022. Delicious and Refreshing. I was hooked. I had to replenish over the winter. I placed an order via her site. My order arrived in a timely manner and the product was fresh and included a sealed pouch ,so that I could store the opened loose leaf tea bag. Five 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟 from me.“
