Coffee Shops near Great Lakes

“Pretty decent. Pretty safe with the new safety measures put up now. Menu selection is a bit small compared to others, but a good amount of choices for me. Travis Scott burger with some fries and a water to wash it down is pretty good. Would recommend.“

“The dunkin donut here is pretty good though depending on the time of day your wait time can vary. But when there isn't too much traffic they generally get out your order as fast as possible. They also get your order accurate too. If you ask for extra mocha or extra anything they'll do it (for extra cost) but they won't forget.“

“I come here because they do pour-overs. Really Good pour-overs. (If they're busy, multi-tasking staff may miss the correcting timing so the extractions are suboptimal and may alter the taste in the negative.) But still a great coffee - I'm nitpicking.

I enjoy this more than the other places in Libertyville because the barista's really know their products - every one I've talked with has been able to discuss each coffee with knowledge that helps me learn. And oh so friendly, nice people who work there.

Pastry choices are limited, so-so in taste, and too sugary for me (donuts, muffins) They could use some nice croissants, chocolate croissants, morning buns, etc. If they partnered with Hewn Bakery it would be perfect. (I will often get coffee to go, and bring my own Hewn to eat outside at the benches.)“

“AMAZING coffee & matcha, served with such warmth & care by the sweetest family-owned shop — A true gem! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“great coffee! its very cozy“

“The best coffee shop in Highland Park/Deerfield area! Best customer service and perfect atmosphere for work meeting, reading a book or grabbing coffee with a friend!“

“Stopped in for a coffee during my lunch and was very impressed with not only their selection, but with the taste as well! I got the Maple Cardamom and was very good. Highly recommend if in the area!“

“Beyond !atmosphere awesome Sevice thank you server Anna 🧇🥞🥛🍳🤵🏻‍♀️🙏🏻❤️“

“This place CJ‘s coffeehouse is the best donut shop I’ve ever gone to.. Dunkin’ Donuts is pathetic in comparison. their donuts are far more superior. There’s more Dunkin’ Donuts close by me, but I go all the way to Zion for my donuts.. kudos to CJ’s!!!!“

“Everytime we come to this mall, this is one of first things we get. We saw a sign saying they had three variety flavors of horchata drinks and we jsut had to give it a try. Our go to is the Cafe horchata but you can get vanilla or chocolate as well if coffee isn't your go too. I've had them all and they are all delicious.“

“The bread is out of this world. My personal favorite is the seeded. The pastries are also very good. What a treasure.“

“Always a treat to stop by“

“I get my work done at Hometown nearly every day, and I just have to give a shoutout to Corey! He is the nicest guy, always going above and beyond to make sure everything is right. No matter what, he makes sure every detail is taken care of and his customer service is unmatched. Best service, atmosphere, and food! Great spot.“

“I really enjoyed this coffee shop!! The vibe is exactly what I needed after a hard day. The staff is incredibly friendly and ready to help you out. The girl who helped me had the most calming voice but with a sweet tone.

I got the sugar free mocha and it was delicious 😋

If you’re in the area, definitely make this coffee shop one of the places you visit!!“

“Stopped in for the first time and will be back again and again! My kids devoured their donuts!! Can’t wait to come back for lunch too! Customer service was amazing too, so friendly and helpful!!“

“10/10 would highly recommend! This is some of the best tasting coffee I’ve had in a long time! My family took the 35 minute drive from our home to check out this coffee shop & it did not disappoint! They have options for all ages(& all taste buds) including delicious hot chocolate that my kids gulp down quickly! The owner, Sara, is one of the nicest people you will ever meet & she creates coffee magic! Her warm personality and the very home-like atmosphere of the shop is something you cannot get at your local chain coffee shops. My family & I cannot wait to go again!“

“Was at Port Clinton Art Fair, had just gotten Italian ice, and saw these beautiful croissants out of the corner of my eye. I quickly did an about face. The Crème Brûlée croissant 🔥🔥and the Almond Croissant 🥇if you guys already do a Koigin Aman, I need to try it, if you don,t, you should!,Your laminated dough is wonderful & buttery, top notch.“

“Always perfect coffee. Fresh, never stale. The staff, especially Chello is the best.“

“This location is AMAZING. I had ordered from DoorDash, they accidentally made my order wrong, to apologize they offered my order for free to fix, when I declined they gave me a few free donuts. Such a small gesture and definitely did NOT expect it but their kindness did not go unnoticed. Extremely kind staff worker I talked to on the phone. Good job Dunkin!“

“My 4 year old son loved it here!!! He was so proud to have designed a donut (which was actually just the cookies and cream option from the menu) but he watched them make it and decorate it and then showed it to everyone he passed. He said they were the BEST donuts he’s ever had! I had the cold brew with sweet cream which was solid.“

“What a positive experience I had at the Lake Bluff Starbucks. I went for a 30 minute coffee to check my emails, and was so pleasantly surprised when the barista asked if I wanted a ceramic mug for my coffee. She even offered to bring it to my table. When she brought it, she mentioned they offer a free refill. Then, another barista came around with a free sample of one of their ice coffees. What a very pleasant experience. Thank you, Starbucks!“

“Great staff and delicious fresh treats!! 🩷“

“Love having a Starbucks in Lake Forest. So convenient. Also love some of the workers there. Daniel and Jay to name a couple. I just wish they would get the free refill program correct for gold card members. I get the snarky face from the manager and a couple others when asking for my free refill. They keep telling me I need to buy a regular coffee to get a refill when in fact Starbucks web site says get a free refill regardless of the original beverage.“

“Amazing lattes in a posh environment! Love this place!!!“

“Delicious boba tea! I had the Coconut milk tea with boba and my husband had the mango fruit with boba. This was our first time here! It was busy when we walked in with lines for those wanting to get there bubble / boba tea. There was a great menu of options to choose from and a nice sitting area to relax, and enjoy the drinks. Staff were quick and busy filling in the orders that were coming in. This is located in Chinatown near the Chinatown square. Great spot and delicious boba teas! We will definitely come back when we visit this area again!“

“5+1?This small out-of-the-way Starbucks (located inside Target) is really a diamond in the rough, if you consider Starbucks a diamond, LOL. They make the store on Grand and Green Bay look pathetic. The young man working behind the counter, his name is Felipe, is extremely articulate and knowledgeable, about Starbucks offerings, unlike the other store. I came in for the Medicine Ball, that is a stress relieving, stomach settling concoction that Starbucks has come up with. It's not on the menu but if you're stressed or just not feeling well, this is the thing to get. See Felipe, he's a nice young man and working his way through school. He is very attentive and always smiling. As a matter of fact I'm going to give them an extra star because he's such an excellent hire for them, he should be in management.??“

“Great staff, the bubble tea is a must have. Try it now if you haven’t done so 😊“

“Found my favorite childhood snack — egg waffles 🧇 — at MilkCow cafe near home! Definitely coming back again! Their ice cream was amazing too — super creamy and full of milky goodness 🍦💛“

“I've been here three times in the past year and have been wowed each time. The employees are always nice and accommodating. The food is perfect each time, the bathrooms and restaurant itself are very clean, and the space is welcoming! That's saying a lot from someone who worked in a lot of restaurants over the years and can easily spot issues. Bagels are chewy, thaw nicely after being in my freezer for a bit, and make excellent sandwiches. Thank you for the Windex and cleaning up my water bottle catastrophe ;)“

“great customer service !!“

“The staff is very friendly and efficient. The coffee is delicious. I just got my usual, a tall latte.

Vegetarian options: Coffee is Vegan!?

Dietary restrictions: I am gluten free.Everything is clearly marked with ingredients. Any questions the staff is happy to answer.

Parking: It's a well maintained Target parking lot.

Kid-friendliness: The staff is kind to all the guests.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's in Target. Totally wheel chair accessible.“

“We found this place in our way to another breakfast place and decided to stop. 10/10 would definitely recommend. Best breakfast food we have had ever, restaurant is extremely clean, everyone working was friendly. We will definitely return if we are near Chicago again“

“Awesome tea and beautiful atmosphere.“

“Everything Staff is kind“

“ABSruCKS. & lettin every body know it too.“

“Love that Dunkin.Donuts in Highland Park good muffins good tea service with a smile“

“The best fresh roasted coffee I have tasted. Been a customer for over 8 years! They really know and understand the flavors of their beans. Highly recommend!“

“Nice spot for a meeting with a very special realtor! Me! (Weichert Realtors) Sell Buy Haus (dot com)“

“Got the glow bowl and my daughter got a build your own açaí bowl today. THIS GLOW BOWL IS AMAZING!! The dairy free ranch is so tasty!! It’s perfect!!!! 10/10!!!!“

“I loved 😍 my favorite drinks“

“Something new in the Mall food court! Staff is so friendly and talkative, love them! They have truly great selection of unordinary pizzas. You have to try ordering from the menu! Ready slices are good, but freshly made mouthwatering pizza is so much better. I tried pear pizza, was very impressive, chef's creation, but my best favorite is vegetarian pizza. Will be back soon. 👌“

“Dunkin' always delivers a quick and convenient coffee run. Iced coffee is consistently good, and donuts are fresh. Drive-thru lines can get long, but service is usually speedy. Prices are reasonable. A reliable spot for a morning pick-me-up. ?☕️“

“I don’t live around here but I came in for a coffee and I sat and drink it for about 10 minutes and went back to the register to order a pastry. Ryan remembered my name and asked if he could get anything more for me using my first name. It was just a small gesture but felt so personal and wonderful. Great job Ryan! If I lived around here I would come back to this Starbucks all the time!“

“Try em all.………………………………….“

“Family decided to go to Dunkin after church. Originally we went to the Dunkin closer to our house that is on N. Lewis. Customer service was horrible there so we left and came to this one. We were greeted when we came in, and the food was delicious. I only put three stars for service because the lady that attended us was slow. Physically slow. So slow that my daughter who is 11 was saying watching her was like she was in slow motion. Like, her movements were very slow, so that you kinda understand what I'm mean. I'm not sure if she is maybe developmentally delayed, and if she is,she was amazing. Or maybe she didn't have coffee yet. Not sure. It's like it took her a moment to register what was being said. At any rate, other than that, (and that wasn't that bad, really) definitely 5 stars for the rest.“

“Great staff and friendly atmosphere. Always fun to sit and spin wool on my spinning wheel while carrying on conversations with other patrons curious about what I’m doing.“

“I loved 😍 my favorite drinks“

“Been to Tous les Jours a few times, but finally gave in and tried the macarons for my birthday :) Yeah, they’re a little pricey, but WORTH IT. Had the lemon, pistachio, and salted caramel, and each one was better than the last. They’ve always got really unique breads and pastries, and everything tastes super fresh every time I go in. You can tell they actually care about quality here. Definitely recommend checking this place out!“

“Love this petite Starbucks! They're the only Starbucks I know in the area that still gives you a beautiful ceramic mug when you ask for a cup of tea "for here". That little nod towards reusables says a lot about an establishment's character.There's also tons of natural night as half the building is all floor-to-ceiling windows.What a gem! ?“
