50 Best Cafes near Hinsdale

“My FAVORITE coffee spot. The most delicious coffee I can find in the entire area. I moved to Westmont from Carol Stream and I was on the hunt for a go-to coffee shop for MONTHS! Once I found this place, I don't go anywhere else. Delicious and very quick service.“

“This is my second time here at chi tiva. I visit the location downtown first and second time at the Worth, IL location. My experience completely different from the first time around. I visit location downtown informing workers my first time how they offered to let us sample slushy flavors nice jester….they did not inform me of dosage and explain how it may possibly affect first timer. With that being said I ordered 50mg coffee taking a few sips and telling my sister she immediately told me to go back to check out and order a 10mg let them know it was my first time. I can say my experience second time around at the Worth location with Lori she greeted us and explained everything we were interested in getting letting us know dosages and tolerance level. I mentioned at the end I really appreciate her customer service and explaining super knowledgeable. I told myself I would probably not come back but this experience definitely worth coming back when in town. Thank you!“

“Cozy place also can get flavored coffees.  We shared a House crepe and the four of us had combos.  I only tasted the Mexican combo and I will try it next time.  Lots of fresh fruit came with the crepes, waffle and french toast. Savory crepes are tempting to try as well.  I tried nice BBQ crepe in Vermont last year and liked it.  Savory crepes are good for lunch and dinner.  Managers were very friendly.“

“Tony’s pulls no punches when it comes to late night or early morning dining. I’ve never seen such a variety of options from a 24hr restaurant which makes it the clear choice as they have little something for everyone. This is where I’d put a photo of one of my meals…but I ate it too fast to get the chance.“

“Very friendly lady (reminded me of my grandma) in the front to greet you. Cute little local coffee shop. With great prices after COVID especially. Most coffee shops around Chicago area have raised their prices so was nice to spend less. Obviously i support small business' raising their prices to survive. That's life. I ordered a dirty chai and it was great! Great coffee. However was a bit sweet but that was my fault for rushing to the bathroom and not talking to the kind lady about what sweetness I wanted. ALSO the bathroom is very CLEAN. It was like a home bathroom. Please others keep it clean as well :)“

“I love stopping here when I'm picking up food from one of the other stores. Everything we have tried so far is absolutely delicious! Their desserts are not too sweet... just the perfect amount! My personal favorite is the fluffy cheese cake! My kids love the oreo cake cups and the strawberry shortcake cups! Can't wait to try the other desserts! HIGHLY recommend!“

“This is our go-to takeout spot. They have plenty of vegan and gluten free options. The massaman curry and basil fried rice are my personal favorites. You can tell they use fresh ingredients and spices. I've had the chive dumplings, fried tofu, veggie egg roll, cucumber salad. (All marked vegan on the menu which I highly appreciate). The panang curry was waaaay too spicy for me so I'm sticking with massaman. I haven't dined in but whenever I pick up take out, the staff is super friendly and the restaurant has a peaceful atmosphere.“

“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!“

“Best local spot for gelato or food!! They always have a huge variety of gelato and ice cream flavors. I love coming here, the portions are always big as well. Their food is served hot and tasty! I also really like the small and intimate environment. I always have great service!“

“I absolutely am hooked! Everything is absolutely delicious and yummy!!!!! I said goodbye to Starbucks last year sometime, I am so glad I did and found Evolve nutrition! So healthy for you❤️❤️❤️ The Owner is absolutely very knowledgeable! She is so sweet“

“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!“

“One of the best coffee roasters in the western burbs, and definitely my favorite coffee shop to work from. Their signature and seasonal drinks are great, plus this location also serves cocktails. Highly recommend!Parking: Parking is ample, but can be a bit tricky due to the layout of the building.“

“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!“

“beautiful array of baked goods. Only sampled a meal of stuffed cabbage (excellent mashed potatoes, sauce and cabbage and even carrots were full of flavor but much saltier than I'm used to), lovely roll and dessert. Mexican wedding cookie had good flavor and somewhat tender.“

“The best hollandaise sauce I’ve had. Ever.It’s made in house every day. And it’s PERFECT!I could wrap myself in it lol.It’s that good.The food is wonderful. All fresh.But the sauce. Unforgettable.Whenever I’m in Chicago, I come here for it.“

“I'm a big fan of Rustic Knead, as a pescatarian its hard to find good hearty veggie sandwiches for lunch especially in the suburbs but not here. My sister lives in Lemont and every time I go visit I try to make it in for the caprese sandwich on their delicious bread which is made in-store. Staff are always friendly & quick & they have great tea, bakery, chip options too. Awesome for any GF folks as they have GF sandwiches & even some GF cookies from a local bakery a few stores down. It's a bit on the $$ side but you are paying for the great quality & freshness. They are also very consistent, we have never had a bad sandwich nor experience which I definitely appreciated especially dining with GF people!“

“Came in today for the first time. Customer service was great. I ordered a steak sandwich, cafe con leche, and a pastelito. Everything tasted really good. I ordered to go and was in and out. The place is a little small so maybe for a sit down place it might be a little cramped but that's not a deal breaker for me. Definitely a must try if you are in the neighborhood!“

“Went in for the third time yesterday for a quick lunchtime snack and caffeine. On the recommendation of the baristas, I ordered the ham and havarti croissant and a coffee. Both of the items were excellent. The environment was comfortable and well designed for either relaxing or for light work. Left feeling overall pleased with the experience and would definitely return to Vigo again.“

“Loved the service and food. It is a very small cozy location, although I was told they will be moving across the street and expanding their seating. The staff was fantastic, I was there with my wife and baby and they were all very friendly. We will definitely be back.“

“I stopped by BlackBerry market on yesterday and the atmosphere was busy but flowed smoothly. The smell of coffee was invigorating and I got the drip coffee , a chocolate chip cookie, iced peppermint coffee and a raspberry lemon muffin!! Service was smooth and effective, the breakfast items were yummy and fresh!! The coffee of the coffee!! Strong yet tranquil!! Fresh drip is self serve!! Loved that! The iced peppermint coffee was just what I needed !! Let me say this.. after breakfast and coffee.. I came home cooked a full dinner and washed clothing and was done before 1pm! lol energy!!!! Definitely will go back and recommend!!“

“I met friends around 4p.m. on a beautiful sunny Saturday. Sitting outside was wonderful! Indoor there is still a great atmosphere with couches and TVs. I only ordered a lemon soup and Caramel Macchiato, both were delicious. Definitely will return, it had been so long since I'd been there. I forgot what a great place it is!!!“

“I cannot speak highly enough of the quality, goodness and the richness of the products and the pure heart of the staff.. but I will! The shop + staff is truly wonderful and amazing in every sense of the word. From the design of the Matcha bowls, to the very unique one of a kind savory flavors of a variety of snacks and chocolate. Face cleansers, plant based protein shakes, dark chocolate with healing herbs, tea sets, oils, herbs. A plethora. I felt so happy stepping into the shop. I highly recommend trying a bit of everything. There is so much to choose throughout the whole shop like the bowls.. Everything is high end quality, reasonably and fairly priced and sourced. The authenticity of the energy and products of this shop is real. The lanyards are super cute. The merch items are beautiful. If you in the area, or wanting to add this place to your must stop to see, please stop by, bring a friend and explore together what is the wonderful world .. of Wonderful Matcha. Also! It brought me a huge smile to know of the organic items they have and how warm and inviting the staff who work here are. The whole process of seeing my drink made, brought me tears of joy to be transparently honest. It reached the fondness of the deepest parts of my heart with such wonder and joy. Izzy even shared knowledge about matcha making. Which I loved and appreciated learning. Thank you Wonderful Matcha for bringing these items to us Thank you for your welcoming inviting spirits. Thank you for being in the community. This is my joy place and I’ll be stopping by regularly. AND THEY HAVE AN OPTION FOR BIRTHDAY GIFT BOX MAKING. Just name your price and the staff creates beautifully put together high quality gift boxes to gift to your friends and family. AND THEY HAVE NATURAL HERB TEAS!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I have been here a few times to dine in and service has always been great. The past couple of weekends I have opted for takeout, and it has always been ready earlier than expected and super fresh. The portion sizes are pretty big for the price. I would definitely recommend this place, I think it's really delicious and worth the wait, when there is one“

“This is a family favorite! We go here often on weekends, and suggest it to others when they are looking for a new breakfast restaurant in the area! The million dollar bacon and bacodo omelette are two of my favorite. The shrimp and grits was a seasonal dish that I tried recently, and it was really good!“

“This place is so cool! What an awesome atmosphere and experience. It was wild coming back to the area that I grew up in to visit my parents and find a place that felt like it should have been here all along.Great coffee and free old school/classic arcade games, along with board games and cider/beer options too. What more could you ask for?“

“I came to this place with my wife because we enjoy having a few cheap drinks and trying our luck with the slots. Fortunately I won $75 from a $20, would have been the $120 but I pushed my luck. Nevertheless Windsor Café had great friendly service, cheap drinks, and a clean & sanitary establishment for people to kick back and have a great time!“

“Somewhat quiet place to get a meal. Tried their shakshuka and was pleasantly surprised with how good it tasted. The staff were incredibly hospitable and were very helpful with answering questions. Their house made jam was also amazing and went really well with the English muffin.“

“Good place very comfortable. They have good samosa. They also have a special menu for the first Saturday of the month so will be back to try Parking: Because it is in downtown Oak Park sometimes it is hard to find parking. But it has a parking garage nearby and is free for the first hour“

“I decided to visit this cafe because of the high reviews. I'm certainly glad that I did. The food was all delicious but what really sets this place apart is the service. Mimi is the nicest lady. She greeted my children warmly. She is very attentive and kind. You can tell she takes pride in her restaurant and making sure you leave in a better mood than you arrived. I'd give the service 10 stars if I could.“

“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!“

“I came here on a Sunday morning and was pleased with the service and food! My friend and I got seated within 10 mins and decided to split a savory and sweet option. The portobello mushroom focaccia was cooked very well and the portobello itself was very tender and paired well with the peppers and balsamic vinaigrette inside. My favorite item personally is the nutty Nutella waffle, but you should def come in with a sweet tooth if you plan on ordering it:)“

“Cute local coffee shop. I got a cortado with coconut milk, my wife got the special "Witch's Brew", and our daughter got the iced chai latte. My wife and I loved ours, but our daughter said her chai tasted weird. I didn't know until later when she threw it away already, so I can't comment on what happened there. We'll be back when we get back in town.“

“Golly Gumpers! This place will make your mouth water, your tongue tingle and your wallet bleed. Not only do they craft artisan sandwiches on fresh like God's air bread, they have the best Macaroni salad that would put mehmay's bbq to shame. Once you are teleported into a food coma from the array of bad decisions you made for your summer diet, wash it down with a fresh double chocolate cookie that will make you levitate from the excitement. If you have some extra penny's to rub together, try your luck at the slots. Only the most elite of our society gamble here since the PD is across the street. No having to worry about the local creep in a puffer jacket and ski mask in July, whew! If you are really feeling freaky, try the shrimp. I hate fish like Trump hates the truth, but my wife says it's Fire! Happy eating and competing!“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Best breakfast spot around, we've been going here for years.On a recent visit we had the nicest waitress who was very efficient getting our coffee refiled and our breakfast out in a timely manner.The staff is very friendlly.Omelettes we ordered were delicious.Discount on bill if you use cash instead of credit card.“

“Prior to entering the restaurant we stood at the doorway entrance to browse the menu. While standing there, a very polite gentleman from the management team walked over and encouraged us to give it a try.I can say that we were not disappointed. The food and the service was excellent. Our meals were prepared as expected and with little wait time.“

“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“

“Been here twice now, both times the food has been amazing!!! Everything on their menu looks and sounds delicious, and everyone I came with all loved their food as well. I've ordered two of their hot drinks, the chai latte and the mocha latte, both were so delicious. Only downside to the place is that they're very popular so both times I've been there it was absolutely packed and the parking lot was a bit tricky to get in and out of because of the high traffic there. Both times I've gone though it's been on Sunday afternoons so I'm guessing that's their busiest day. Definitely will go again and I highly recommend it!!“

“Eat here a few times per week. Can’t go wrong with any dish, but my favorites are the Breakfast Burrito (the pickled jalapeños they add are a nice touch) and the BLT. Staff is always incredibly friendly and helpful. 10/10 would recommend. Price point is very reasonable.“

“My husband and I have been a loyal patron of Jam & Jelly breakfast restaurant for the past 10 years, and it never fails to impress. Teddy, the owner, ensures we are always well taken care of. The food arrives promptly and is incredibly delicious—those pancakes are simply fire! The chorizo omelette is a personal favorite, and the stuffed French toast is to die for. If you find yourself in Darien, Illinois, make sure to stop by this popular mom and pop breakfast spot for an excellent breakfast experience.“

“We were coming from the Fashion Outlet mall and it was -9 degrees outside. I was looking for something that was home made and did not want to eat chain food. I seen in my google search that this place was family owned and had a nice atmosphere with full bar. The empanadas were the best i had ever eaten. The pastry was light and the fillings were delicious. We had the chicken and beef fillings. Our server was so nice and helpful with our choices since it was our first time there. I had the pork sandwich with bacon lettuce and tomato. Pork was excellent and our server gave us this green sauce which was divine. My husband had the pork dinner and it came with beans, rice and potatoes. His dinner was called the Lechon, and the portion was very generous so we have lunch for tomorrow. Our server also brought out 2 sauces (green sauce and light orange) for the pork. Our server said the main ingredients in the green sauce was garlic, peppers and some other secret seasoning. The pork was already flavorful and tender but the sauces really made it taste that much better. Next time I go shopping at the Fashion Outlets, this will be our dinner spot. Our server was so nice and gave us more green sauce to go with our leftovers.“

“Love this place!! So many wonderful soups, salads and sandwiches for a sit down lunch, and then frozen meals to take home. Try the iced tea! It doesn't need any fixings because it's delicious as it is. Its interior is bright and cheerful. Friendly service! Lots of gluten free and vegetarian selections!“

“I work at Lyons Township High School right across the street! I treated my coworker for her birthday. We ordered the Deluxe Skillet and a BLT Wrap, order was ready at the specified time.., friendly greeting when I arrived. Everything was really good, my BLT wrap was loaded with bacon! It came with a soup and a side I chooses frost fruit.“

“Stopped at this charming donut shop for a little dessert. The woman at the counter was very friendly and helped me pick three, very tasty flavors! Tried the Reese's, coconut, and "Uncle Tom" mini donuts. (Apparently, these were top sellers.) Delicious bites that make for a great post-meal sweet. Will definitely return to try other flavors!“

“I've been stopping in here regularly since they opened a few years ago. Unlike the chains of gaming places around Elmwood Park, this one is often operated by the actual owners. If you're lucky enough to be there when they are; you'll find them offering food and drinks freely. Always clean and drinks are always cold. Nightlife atmosphere on some weekends, but they've never interrupted my play. Sign up for the emails on the tablet and they often send free slot play and rewards.“

“Cold drinks and loving atmosphere!I love there Wings & huge juicy Burgers, They always got great drink specials everyday!.The place is so clean Everytime I go there! It's my second home ? the staff is amazing the new guy Ed is a Rockstar!“
