Cafes near Lake In The Hills

“I ordered from them on Grubhub for the first time today for my two children and I. My kids have never tried boba before, they’re 4 and 8, so I thought it would be a nice treat. Omg they were DELICIOUS!!! I also opted for the mystery cup which was a super sweet surprise! I’m going to take my kids here very soon so we can actually enjoy our time in the shop itself ❤️“

“great specialty coffee and a lovely setting. You won't be disappointed!“

“This is a unique and amazing coffee shop, not just because it's a sober bar, because it has expert baristas, fun events, and meeting space for art, meetings and community gatherings. The staff is downright amazing! So is the coffee ☕“

“My Friends from church took me to Kim & Patty's for my birthday and although I've been their many times it was like a four-star experience. I just had 2 eggs over easy and they were truly farm fresh jumbo eggs. I am a Chef of 40 years and have never had a better restaurant experience any time than Kim & Patty's of McHenry.“

“2/5/2026 My wife, a friend, and I went to the restaurant after hearing about it and reading their reviews. The atmosphere and food were excellent. will definitely go again, no doubt.“

“1st Sat of each month is comedy night. So fun!!“

“In my opinion Ethereal is one of the finest chocolatiers in the country, and I particularly like the organic and natural flavorings, esp the orange chocolate which is the best which is my favorite. It is very simple to eat vegan there, and healthy. I enjoy all the plant based foods, and a hidden treasure is the protein boll, both filling and light. The herbal tes are the best I ever had, and they have much depth, combining organic teas of various flavorings. Service is friendly and laid back, and the counter area is fun for comradery and good lighting when oe is alone and perhaps wants to work. Ive gotten to know people well by sitting there. I love all their salads and I like the cucakes as much as the chocolate. It's a very attractive place, laid back and relaxing. It is very clean and well maintained. Honestly, I never ate downstairs, although I love the global ceiling on this level, which is both futuristic and subdued. Coffess seem better than average. I once drank end enjoyed a glass of warm mosel a few times per year, It was better than average. Presentations are nice, and consistent. Price points are low for the quality. While subdued, the patrons seemed upbeat and friendly, always up for discussion. I like the art, often changing. Lots of meaningful discussion to be had at the counter, esp if you enjoy the arts and literature, There are some intangibles that are appealing. many regulars, and acquantances. I enjoyed the very young and the very mature. It's the kind of place you can learn a lot just by observing and listening. On Freiday night you can expect an international crowd akin to North Michigan Avenue in Chicago and many students and musicians. Their chocolates are in retail outlets as well, which is t be expected. I expect that they;ll expand to include humus, greek yogurt as their clientele fits the demographic. Large tinted windows are peaceful. nice blend of contemporary music. probably the favorite of McHenrey County along with Aroma in Crystal Lake. Convenient to shops, sumer fun, the Oprah House, and Classic Cinema 9the lovliest meduim size, main auditorium in the midwest.“

“Delicious! Service was great!“

“I have been going there for over 25 years I have never had a bad meal, I have tried many different items, they are doing something right, cause luck dose not last that long I highly recommend this cafe.“

“My daughter and I were originally going to order breakfast, but their chicken salad in an avocado looked heavenly so we went with that it was wonderful. And the young lady who waited on us was so polite and helpful, and the coffee was to die for..“

“Dollys place located in East Dundee is ran by a great couple and sometime their son covers and he is just a kind. They all have a way at making them people who play here are part of the family. This location has a variety of soft drinks as well a great variety of alcoholic beverage for the over 21. Plus great snacks and chocolate. The selection for music is a great play...mix of 80's & 90's best. Its for sure a great place to play some slots. Peaceful atmosphere and the people are respectful. Give it a try you won't be disappointed I promise.“

“Definitely recommend this cafe to anyone!! Friendly service lady even gave us free juice samples tastes great. And by far the best coffee Frappuccino ever tried you can tell their ingredients are made with fresh beans rich in flavor. Thank you for being a great small cute shop 10/10!!!“

“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.“

“Paul was such a pleasant person to deal with very good bakery goods soups sandwich. Can’t say enough about it.“

“Love the hibiscus refresher and unlike the other drink places they aren’t filling their cups with ice“

“I'm a bit of a Panera addict. I frequent about 6 panera's in the area, and the Huntley restaurant is far and away the best. Always fresh, super friendly and helpful staff.. They have the custom coffee machines too, so they have the best coffee...“

“My family and I decided to give Van's Frozen Custard and try, and it was a lot better than what we were expecting.
The burgers were cooked perfectly and topped with super fresh ingredients and the Custard was out of this world 🌎 the restaurant itself was fine, but the inside layout kind of reminds you of just being in a McDonald's restaurant but with way better food. I would highly recommend giving Van's a try if you haven't yet.“

“I was having a terrible evening and had to pick up dinner for my family. Julissa was working the register and was so kind and patient with my perimenopause brain not working. She turned my entire evening around. I will be back to this location because of her.“

“me encanta el café, y eh tenido maravillosos momentos ahí!“

“I’m new to the area and have been going through a Panera obsession recently and I’d just love to say this location is doing it right every time! The customer service is amazing everyone is always welcoming and polite and not to mention the food and drinks hit right on target. Will be continuing to give them the business! (:“

“Placed a pickup order through a third-party delivery app for a you-pick-two and a chicken bacon rancher. I picked the turkey and cheddar for my sandwich and the broccoli cheese for my soup. I walked in, saw my name on the screen and picked up my order from the counter without any wait. Even after the 15min drive home, the hot items were still warm and tasty and the cold sandwich was yummy too. This Panera doesn't have a direct entry/exit to the main roads but it's not hard to get to and has plenty of parking.“

“good food but the drive through is absolutely ridiculous. i was the only one there and waited almost 20 min for 1 sandwich and they gave me the wrong one, wtf?? get it together, this is a common theme at panera“
