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

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

“My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time at Nature’s Best Cafe. The food was fresh, flavorful, and made with real care. We especially loved the sandwiches and smoothies. The cozy, welcoming vibe made it easy to relax and enjoy each other’s company. You can tell this place puts heart into everything they do. Highly recommend!“

“Good food and friendly staff.“

“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!!“

“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 Coffee is hands-down the best coffee shop in Naperville — and there’s a reason they’ve been recognized as the Best Coffee Shop for five years straight. I had a latte here, and it was absolutely fantastic — probably one of the best I’ve ever had. The flavor, texture, and presentation were spot on, and you can really taste the care and craftsmanship that goes into every cup.

The atmosphere is modern, welcoming, and perfect for relaxing or getting some work done. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the whole space feels thoughtfully designed — from the sleek interior to the artistic wall decor.

If you love coffee, Sparrow Coffee is a must-visit. They truly set the bar for what a great coffee experience should be.

My only “complaint,” if you can call it that, was that it was busy. But I’m guessing there’s a reason for that, given everything I just said above.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food n excellent service“

“This is a good breakfast spot I've been to 3 times now. I've had the eggs Benedict, burrito suizo, and healthy scrambler.

Only the eggs Benedict blew me away. The burrito looks delicious but is kinda bland. The scrambler was nothing better than what I could make at home.

My partner had oatmeal today and actually that was really good. She order crepes in the past that were good tasting too.

There are very few breakfast restaurants I feel are worth going to these days.“

“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!“

“I’ve been a proud customer of Al Mary Cafe since day one. I’ve probably tried everything on the menu, and it all tastes amazing! Everything is fresh every day, and the variety is fantastic — you can find anything you want, from soups to desserts. My forever favorites are the manty and the chicken samsy! I highly recommend this family-owned, customer-oriented place.“

“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“

“This place is so delicious, everyone I have recommended to has loved it. The owner is so nice and I love the cozy vibe.“

“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.“

“Super cool atmosphere, very friendly and inviting. The tea 🍵 I had was phenomenal. I can't wait to start training with the coaches. Thank you Mount Prospect Illinois for Bringing something so Refreshing to our Community 🙏🏻“

“The lemon ricotta cookies are amazing! Also Spimoni or Italian ice are delicious as well!“

“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!“

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

“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“

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

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

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

“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 Prairie Café in Elmhurst is one of those rare gems hidden in plain sight. The husband-and-wife team are so amazing, we go out of our way once a year to when we are in Chicago to go there for breakfast. Mimi in the front of the house remembers what we like to the person for all five of us. The prices are on the low side and the portions generous. Two things stand out though the repartee with Mimi tops the list, but the nuanced flavors bring back memories of how my mother made it. Eating here is more than getting a great breakfast at a good price, it’s a step back, in time and attitude. It is a full-on experience. Tell Mimi you read the review from the guys that visit only once a year.“

“muy rico me gusta soy de México“

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

“This place is the real deal. The food is incredible and pairs so well with their artisanal and “standard” cocktails. Their standards far exceed the run of the mill standards you’ll find at typical gastro pubs. Bartenders Steven and Ira are attentive, personable, and will ensure your cocktail exceeds your expectations. If Jordyn is bringing your food to your table you can be sure you will have everything you need. She is one of the most hardworking individuals I have had the pleasure of meeting and her work ethic will leave you astounded. Needless to say I will be making several visits to my new go-to burger and cocktail spot. Way to go Tribute team!“

“I would say that coming here is a good spot to get boba. It’s nice to enjoy it whenever you got a chance to get it. My go to would always be getting the chocolate oreo mocha with brown crystal boba. The girls at the counter are always working hard and I appreciate their effort to make my drink worth coming back for.“

“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 exceeded in customer service and definitely very please with how clean the place was. we even went over and thanks the women that was cleaning and wiping things down immediately after kids were doing with it. hand sanitizer was everywhere. overall great experience at the mount prospect location. thank you to the amazing staff.“

“Great presentation and the product is delicious!“

“I recommend everything ! The food is exceptional and delicious .“

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

“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.“

“I always order the strawberry cheesecake crepes and they are amazing. The restaurant is cozy and has an upscale feel yet is also family friendly. The staff are attentive and friendly. They also have really good lunch items like paninis and wraps. Never been disappointed here. Good portions of great food at a very reasonable price! Been coming here for years although i believe ownership may have changed once or twice over the last 20 years. Everyone I know loves Dinos. It's THE brunch spot. Besides brunch cafe, that is. lol.“

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