Good food, good drinks, just inconsistent if you order a custom margarita on a Friday and go back Saturday, it’s always different, but still tasty.

I stumbled upon this Gem of a restaurant a handful of visits ago. Every time after my 1st visit I have been consistenly pleased.
The food was surprisingly delicious and creative. The flavors are/were memorable. I am already drooling thinking about my next visit.
The staff is kind and perfectly attentive. The Chef is always smiling with pride and absolutely loving his work.

I've been a few times and everything I've tried is great. This place is going the extra mile and it shows. I'm going back soon for the Butter Chicken and a tasty, boozy coctail.

Don’t order online! They’re linked with Door Dash and orders are severely delayed.

Pretty location and stylish, friendly employees but crazy expensive. $20 for two 12oz lattes and tip.

Flavor was on par with a nice coffee but that price made me flinch on the inside. I can't believe they charge $1.60 for oat milk in a 12oz latte. I'm effectively buying a pint of oat milk (even barista quality) at that price. Idek if it came as a double shot.

Love the decor and vibe of the place. The seasonal cocktails are definitely worth a try. Large group was well taken care of and the food was very good.

First time here and loved the experience. Great service, beautiful space, lots of interesting menu options. We had the Turkish eggs and the Avocado croissant. Both were delicious. The vanilla ginger latte was also excellent. I look forward to trying their shareables and dinner menu next!

Stefari West, in my humble opinion, is the best place to be and eat in all of Iroquois and Kankakee County. Here are the reasons why this place is wonderful and if you haven't tried it out you should.

1) The food - The food quality is of another level. If you want healthy and delicious, this is the place to go. The combination of proportions, affordability, fresh ingredients, and fun combinations is unparalleled in the area. The menu is simple, and for good reason; they do very well with what they make. There are few places you can go out to eat where you can eat plenty and walk away feeling good about yourself.

2) The drinks—Stefari is also the best place to get coffee. I like the regular drip coffee (black), but if you're into creative drinks, they blow Starbucks or any other chain out of the water!

3) Atmosphere - The environment is warm and aesthetically pleasing.

4) Service—The service staff is friendly and attentive. It's my understanding that both owners are intimately involved in all facets of the restaurant, bar, and cafe. Their personal investment shows in the quality of service!

I hope they have many years of fruitful service to the community!

I ordered a Vegan Veggie panini for pickup. The woman who I placed the order with was friendly and my food was ready within about 10 minutes. Stafari is absolutely lovely - the couch in the front a beautiful touch! After trying the meal (which, by the way comes with a little salad and some chips), it is perfect - so delicious. It is wonderful to have options here that suit my diatery restrictions as I have allergies to both egg and dairy products. 10/10 will order from here again!

Dietary restrictions: Vegan Veggie panini is, of course, vegan! This also being egg and dairy free.

One star, at least we got seated right away. From there it went down hill quickly. What a disappointment. Was seated and then no one came back to us. The place was not busy at all, and there were plenty of employees walking around, so no reason to be left sitting. Made eye contact with 3 of them and they just turned and walked away. A waiter took an order at the table next to us and didn’t even acknowledged us. Waited 6-7 minutes and then walked out. I am a restaurant manager, so seeing a staff not caring or trying to take care of customers is really upsetting to me. Would not waste my time to go there ever again.

Was my first time here and loved it! The atmosphere was bright, comfortable, and cheerful. Our server was friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious. We each said we would order our dish again, but want to try something else first. A real hidden gem. Come check them out, folks!
