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.“

“Had my breakfast today at Panera. Food was fresh and good to eat. Girl who took our order was super good with us and helped us with all the queries❤️ we had Toasted Garden Caprese which was best among all. Had Cappuccino Latte and she helped me with changing milk to half and half and it turned out to be perfect for me?“

“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!!!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“lo recomiendo por sus deliciosa malteada y té y su delicioso bowl Mango y su atención y limpieza y la armonía que se siente“

“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!“

“I love going here. Real hearty European food. Lovely conversations. Super generous portions. Definitely check it out.“

“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!“

“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!)“

“Please is perfect in all aspects.“

“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.“

“delish food recommend if you are looking for cozy and sweet environment.“

“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.

Thank you, Playroom Cafe Two for hosting our party and making us feel so special! You all are simply the best!!!Highly recommended!“

“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 have driven by this restaurant for years and kept meaning to stop in and give it a try. 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!“

“The most delicious desserts. Not overly sweet. So light and scrumptious. The best around!“

“Fabulous food. Great service!“

“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.“

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

“Located in an outlook of Walmart in the old TGIF Restaurant location,this First Watch offers good food and great service. Been to other First Watch locations and the Bloomingdale location is better in my opinion.
Our server Marrissa was friendly and professional.

We went early on a Sunday morning and were seated immediately.

Started with hot coffee ( You get a whole lot for the table) and an iced tea with free refills.

My wife who is gluten free had the Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl with Italian sausage,Crimini mushrooms,tomatoes and kale. Big enough to bring half of it home.

I had the Bacado Omelet with sour dough bread and seasoned potatoes. Basically an omelet filled with crispy bacon,avocado and Monterey Jack cheese topped with sour cream and a side of Pico de Gallo. Since I like my eggs a little spicey,they have bottles of Cholula Hot sauce on each table..bonus!

We were lucky to have received a BOGO coupon for being a member of their First Watch club.

Open daily 7am to 230pm.

Definitely a good place to go for health minded breakfast and lunch options.“

“These days I'm not sure a bakery can really deliver everything one'd hope for in the past. Lezza has a great variety of bakery products, and you'll find some of them to be very reasonably priced. I love the lemon knot cookies and the Italian ice, and you'll find traditional cookies here too as well as danishes and donuts. There are very few independently owned places anymore with variety and low-cost options for treats and coffee, but this is one of them!“

“So fresh and delicious! The best chicken shawarma I have ever had.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great presentation and the product is delicious!“

“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!“

“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 ? ?“

“This hotel is perfectly located roughly equidistant between O’Hare and Wrigley. Depending on the time and day, you can get a very reasonably-priced Uber ride to either location. It is also within walking distance of several great restaurants. Le Meridian is clean and modern, and in a very safe area. Our room on the second floor was also very clean and modern. The front desk staff is very friendly and helpful. The only downsides: no free coffee in the morning, a bit noisy at night, and the mattress is so comfortable, it makes me realize how uncomfortable my mattress is at home!“

“Everything is always so good and fast service.“

“The daily specials are always delicious and affordable!“

“Cute excellent coffee shop in Hinsdale. It’s in the alleyway but when I think of a morning panini or coffee i think La Fortuna rather than Starbucks. Definitely try this place out. Workers are friendly and you won’t regret spending your money here!“
