Cafes near Hanover Park

“I just had my very first order from Sweet Reserve Bakery and I am completely in love! I ordered a variety. the cookie butter in a jar was probably the best dessert I've ever had! so delicious, perfect serving. super reasonable prices! 5 stars, 4thumbs up!“

“An exceptional visit with Tonya (owner) along with an equally impressive menu. I got the Berry Açaí Bowl, my husband got the Cadbury Egg shake, and we got the protein waffles with berries. Made fresh right in front of you. Tonya is so welcoming and full of knowledge of her product. Everyone should visit and check Elevate out! I cannot recommend it enough. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Food is delicious, but on the more expensive side for breakfast. Service once seated and fast and great!However, they will not seat out if you do not have your entire party ready. And EVERYONE will ask over and over if everyone is there and demand it. If they are not counting the amount you had on your reservation, they will rebute it against you. The asking and verifying the party can be done in a more respectable manner.I understand that they want to turn the tables as quick as possible, but the customer service can be applied to make it less aggressive.“

“I take pride with my Polish Heritage and have always loved traditional Polish recipes. I ordered the potato/cheese and sauerkraut pierogis which were prepared that day from scratch and perfect in texture and taste. I also order the Wiener Pork Schnitzel that was tender and juicy on the inside with a crisp and lightly brown exterior. The restaurant appeared to be clean, organized, and spread out for comfort and privacy. This restaurant is a hidden gem.“

“I am a regular here - at least twice a week. The place has independent coffee house vibes, wood floors, and lots of places to sit alone or in groups.Coffee is always excellent. The baristas are very good and know the product.The muffins and pastries are great, but my favorite is their BLT. Seriously the best BLT on the planet.Last they are friendly. Not smarmy but in some coffee houses you almost feel like you are interrupting their day to order something. Always greeted well here.“

“My wife and I love this place, we have been in to dine and have taken out, and have never been disappointed. Yesterday, we had them cater our daughter's graduation brunch with confidence that everyone would love what we had to offer, and we were not let down. Everyone loved the food, it was hot and fresh off the stove. Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, hashbrowns, French toast sticks and they even tossed in some fresh fruit... ❤️ Everything was ready with a smile when we showed up to pick it up. I am so happy we chose them for our daughter's special celebration! If you haven't tried this place yet you are doing yourself a disservice, this place prepares their plates with professionalism and a love to do it, it shows and you can taste it in every bite!“

“Really enjoyed this unique coffee and gelato place. Not only was the latte perfect, but the gelato was also really fresh and they had plenty of flavors. I saw others getting Nutella crepes that also looked amazing. Will most definitely come back!“

“Lily's cafe is such a cute breakfast spot! The food was delicious and was out very quickly, the service was great and everything came out perfectly! It is a bit on the smaller side so I would bring no more than 4 people. But I loved eating here, a great hidden gem! We had the stuffed French Toast and it was delicious!“

“We came here to warm up and get a midday snack since we were in the area. We came an hour before closing and there were still plenty of baked goods available. There was also plenty of seating and it was clean inside. I had a blackberry brownie and a blueberry basil matcha latte. I typically dislike sweet drinks so I was hesitant to order the latte. However, it wasn't overly sweet and the flavor was interesting (in a good way). The blackberry brownie was rich and also delicious. My child had a big chocolate chip cookie and devoured it instantly. I wish we came for lunch since there were intriguing menu items but we will be back if we are in the area!“

“Chopped steak and eggs are delicious. The crepes were also amazing. We had a very attentive and polite young man as a server, and he was outstanding. It's not fancy and seems to be family owned. It's a very comfortable place for us. My boys love food and they give you plenty.“

“In the area and stopped in for a coffee and glad we did. Great coffee and great atmosphere with the Doctor Who themed interior. Very personable and friendly staff. (I think it was the owner) We'll be back when we're in that neck of the woods again.“

“The four stars is for the restaurant itself. This review is regarding a waitress they have working there, Kate. She was a horrible waitress. I asked for a Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi, whichever they have and she told me they have "Mexican Coke" what the hell is that?! I said, you don't have Diet Pepsi, she said yeah we do, I was like well that's what I asked for.She was not attentive and literally forgot about us sitting in the back. I had to get up and go ask someone if she was still there! The guy I asked said she was still there and he would send her back and even then she took a bit to come back to the table. The place wasn't even crowded. Anyway, Kate finally comes and takes our to go order, since we wanted to take some food home too. Comes back with the to go food and checks, there were three of us and she brought three separate checks, great! Well we tipped according to what we felt she deserved (even then, she actually got more than what she deserved). Also by the way, anytime we go out to eat, we are VERY generous tippers, but do tip accordingly.I go to the washroom and come back and she was at the table talking to my sister and when I walked up, I heard her saying, she left me 10% and you left me 18% and she left me 15% and I just wanna know why? Was there something wrong with my service? She was legit upset! I said to her wait, you're actually questioning your tip? She kept saying that she wanted to know if there was something wrong with the service, but she knows what she was doing. I honestly never in my life have ever had anyone do something like this, I was shocked! Not to mention there were other people sitting around and she was pointing at each of us telling us what we gave her for a tip! It was the most absurd thing! The audacity!So she finally walks away and I go ask for the manager, who happened to be the guy that I asked if she was still there. His name was Sam and he was very nice and very apologetic, he said he was embarrassed and that he would let the owner know. I sure hope he did because employees like this (speaking of employees like that, there were a couple of them behind the deli counter giving us some of the hardest looks, they must be friends!) are going to drive away customers! But I do have to say, the food is amazing and it is a great place!“

“This is the absolute best Boba shop I have ever been to. These treats are delicious, well-priced, and a wonderful environment. My favorite drink I would recommend to everyone would be would be the mango drink with popping Boba. An absolutely delicious combo! This is a great place to study, or have a work meeting. It's quiet calm and very extremely beautiful with nice decor and interior design.“

“Waitress stands around talking to other employee. You wave at her to come over and she stands and stares at you. You actually had to tell her to come over to table. Never came back to ask how it was. Told her we want nothing else just the bill. Waited and had to ask for bill again. Not impressed.“

“Breakfast food and more ELEVATED! From bacon to drinks and juices, from organic eggs to gourmet bread and jam, chicken sausage - the details have been thought out when it comes to flavors. Somebody put some thought into how to make quality dishes!We will be back even if we have to drive a bit to get here.“

“Enrique, the owner, made us our drinks including a cafe mocha, vanilla caramel latte, iced chai. You could tell he really cared about making the best drinks possible and making them aesthetically pleasing. We will definitely visit every time we come to Bartlett!“

“I just wish I took photos but no biggie because I will be back. For 40 dollars we got two huge plates, an appetizer and drinks. These plates consisted of beef and steak also! You simply do not go out to eat for that price anymore. Prices good, cute little cafe, food taste, quality, portion is PHENOMENAL. Never in my life have I had a more tender meat than the shish kabob. Everybody on staff is so friendly and accommodating. They get so busy!!! So many people in and out and I see why. Eisaa thank you so much!! You are a beautiful person with a wonderful business. Shawarma and middle eastern cuisine is my absolute favorite and I could attest this is one of the best places I have ever been. So good on every level.“

“My daughter recommended Eastside Cafe to me. I stopped in on her recommendation and was pleasantly surprised, not only by the deliciousness of the food, but also the pleasant atmosphere. I am now a frequent visitor and I cannot say enough about how wonderful this place is! Highly recommend!!“

“My husband has been going in here for awhile. I had my first visit today. My shake was really good, Bahamas breeze protein shake. The owner is super nice. The place is very clean. Price is right. I would highly recommend village nutrition.“

“Took my sister there for the 1st time. She absolutely loved it! The atmosphere was great, very cozy and cute. The service was awesome, and the staff were great! Going back for the custard!!!?Kid-friendliness: Lot's of sweet goodies!“

“10 stars We came here hungry and they delivered! The food was absolutely DELICIOUS and so mouthwatering. Scott (host) was very pleasant and even helped take our pictures. Our waiter Marlon was very attentive to us, they were clearly informed of the menu and had great recommendations. We will definitely be back and will keep sharing the incredible experience we had with others. Thank you, Honey Berry!!! Great hire manager. They deserve a raise.“

“Me and my husband stopped here after we got our dilated eye exams, so we had some time to kill. The parking lot was packed, but the dining room was spacious and we had no problem getting seated. Decided to order the 40-minute apple pancake. Additionally, we split a breakfast burrito during the wait. The food here is top quality!!! Couldn't believe the portion sizes, the fresh ingredients, and the incredible taste. We will definitely be coming back here again in the future! I drive past Egg Yolk on my way to work, and it's going to be hard to resist this place now :)“

“JAMES HYDRICK recently brought my fiancee back to my life, after we have been composed for 9years. We have stayed living favorably without any delinquent. I always converse about matrimony with her but she replies me with, And promise me that we will soon get married. I was shock on a faithful day when she called me and told me that she is no longer interested in the relationship, because she met another guy, and they were almost getting married. I was stunned and dizzy after hearing that from her. I was so drained and tried to get back to myself because deprived of her it was dreadful because I truly love her with the whole of my emotion. Until I was fixed up to JAMES HYDRICK whose email is (divine.spells@yahoo. com) I communicated with him and he guaranteed me that my wish will be settled unto me after 48 hours, and he told me to count on his words, and he gave me every purpose why I have not to worry any longer. So that was how James came into my marital life and fetched my girlfriend back to me after 48 hours as James hyrick guaranteed me, and now here I am affirming of his virtorious works. And he also cast money spell for me that really well-ordered out for me. So I will recommend you to contact him once you are in need of magic spell. he is sincere and real to help you out.. (divine.spells@ yahoo. com)“

“The young guy that helped us was extremely nice and polite.. He waited for my kids to chose their ice cream flavors and did not rush them at all.. ice cream we got and paletas were delicious! Fresas con crema were good too! Will definitely come back!“

“What a cool little establishment near Humbolt Park serving up the finest smoked meats. I was looking for some authentic bbq and stumbled upon this little smoke house. I had the trio, which consisted of St. Louis style ribs, beef brisket, and pulled pork. I look forward to visiting again. Delicious ?“

“My husband and I had a late breakfast/early lunch there today and we were "wowed!" Our server Liz was so pleasant and attentive, and our food was great! My breakfast quesadilla was very flavorful and ample in size (plus it came with sides of sour cream, guac and salsa). Half of it came home with me. My husband's sandwich (Glen Forest) was grilled chicken with bacon, cheddar cheese and bbq sauce on sourdough bread. It came with a cup of soup and he opted for the chicken noodle which was hearty and delicious. The fries were fantastic (the double fried kind) and he had leftovers as well. We would both HIGHLY recommend this restaurant!!“

“Came here since I was in the area. First time.Ordered 3 steak taco dinner and also a steak burrito. Taco meat was seasoned right. The texture was good. Rice tasted good but I was not a fan of the beans.The burrito was a little small. It was ok.The place was empty. Ordered during lunch and it only took 10 minutes.Decent experience.“

“I had the best time here! Gelato was wonderful and had a tumbler made which is a treasure! The atmosphere is so loving and joyful! You can't help but smile when you're there! Great things are happening at Gigis playhouse and Hugs and Mugs!“

“Came here in the middle of the day during a weekday, so it was pretty empty. That also mean we got served very quickly. The store had a cute wall and seating along the wall, but no tables. So it might be a little awkward if you have a large group. The drinks were pretty good though, we got the brown sugar milk tea everything was decent. Definitely not the best boba I've had, but the pearls were decently chewy and the flavor was decently good. My friend enjoyed his smoothie as well. Overall a pretty solid boba place. I'd come back again.“

“This place is such a hidden little gem. I had the Mediterranean salad w chicken and it was DELICOUS. The salad ingredients were so fresh and full of flavor and the chicken was juicy! My fiancé had the pork belly gyro plate and he said it was amazing! The servers were very attentive and kind. Will be back “

“The flatbread here is so delicious. If you need a quick snack or breakfast before hitting on the train or going somewhere, definitely check this place out. The fresh juice is refreshing and delicious. I can't wait to go back and try other items on their menu.“

“The food is absolutely delicious. All fresh ingredients make for an amazing taste sensation. The gallery offers unique types of merchandise (many are perfect for gift-giving). It is a small place, and not easily spotted from the street. It is located just one block West of the intersection of Plum Grove Road & Euclid Avenue, ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF EUCLID AVE & BROCKWAY STREET IN PALATINE. The owners/staff are very friendly,, accommodating, and provide excellent service. I can't say enough good things about this place, and want to give it a big shout-out because it is easy to miss unless you are looking for it. You must check it out!!..... not only because it's a great little place, but because we should all do our part in supporting our local small restaurants & businesses. *I suggest trying the macarons for dessert“

“This is not a bad review. The food is good. They no longer serve Bougatsa or Baked Oatmeal. Disappointing. More disappointing was being charged $1.79 for extra gravy on my hot turkey sandwich. We were told that the owner/manager believes that the amount of gravy on the hot sandwich is sufficient. It was not enough as far as I was concerned and maybe others feel the same. I mean ....... it's a little scoop of gravy???“

“My mother-in-law has dementia and she had run into here, so naturally I had to run in after her (always turn on the child locks on your minivan lol). When I entered the doors, I expected to be greeted with Betty screeching and threatening to call the police, but what I found instead was the warm welcoming embrace of the Winning Circle. The sound of video gaming machines sang an angelic chorus to my weary ears. The bartender welcomed me to take a seat. That's when time stopped, and I saw bathed in glorious light the words, "Taquitos $4". As in a dream, I ordered without even realizing that words were coming out of my mouth. They served me a colossal drink, and I plopped into one of the comfortable seats by the video one armed bandit. Now I know what you're thinking, you're probably wondering if the chair broke. Don't worry, I have been known to crush metal chairs lol. I'm not offended lol, I am just healthy and not afraid to express myself. But the chair DID NOT BREAK! Anyway great place, I won nearly 300, which paid for all those taquitos and drinks. Update - the police ended up bringing Betty home. Best day ever as I didn't have to drag her sorry old carcass around for the rest of the day. Thanks Winning Circle!“

“I originally saw this place on Tik Tok was super excited to see it, food was good the boba was amazing the cups are super adorable i do plan on keeping mine the workers are super nice the only problem was that there were so many people so i waited almost 10-15 min for my boba tea it couldve been that i went on a weekend but al in all i loved it i would totally go again“
