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 ❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

“It’s all about community. We appreciate their work and support of families and students and businesses and non-profits. Thank you!“

“Everytime I’m in the area I have to come here. The food is always good, and it’s always fascinating to just look at the huge Betty boop collection :)“

“deliciosos licuados y excelente servicio“

“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.“

“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.“

“Delicious! Service was great!“

“Enjoyed a great healthy yummy family dinner 6 of us last night. Bison meat tender and I really enjoyed my warm Power Poke Salmon Bowl! Thank you for the great service!“

“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..“

“Stopped here for my first time ever by using the Too Good To Go app and was surprised to see all of delicious options they have. I will definitely be going back to try out their salads. I got the Waldorf chicken salad wrap and it was delicious.“

“I was missing my kids sandwich. Came back in. Ordered a coffee and a muffin for myself while I wait for it to get fixed. Manager took care of my coffee and muffin, and the wait wasn’t even long enough to fill my coffee cup. 10/10. Mistakes happen. They went above and beyond to make sure to fix it. I really appreciate all of the staff there. I hadn’t been to Panera in a few years. And the cashier was super friendly helping me through the menu.“

“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.“

“Awesome experience with coffee or alcohol. Cool layout that offers a great experience and drink. Fun seating and options. Staff was great and we will be back.“

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

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

“Used the drive-through, so can't talk about the store experience. It was efficient and the food was as described. Really nice seasonal salad, lots of greens and nice selection of toppings. I liked that you could personalize your order in the app.“

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

“No comment on service because there was zero human contact. You order through a kiosk, then someone just yells your number & you go and grab your food from the counter. A worker came out and looked at us and then quickly ran back. lmao Place was nice. Food was good.
I have no complaints.“

“We met my son, daughter-in-law and granddaughters for lunch. My daughter-in-law arrived before us and said that Ethan had pulled together a table for our group, adjusted the blinds as it was warm in there and offered some broken cookies for the kids as they couldn't be sold. Another gentleman came and cleared some plates. The staff couldn't have been nicer. We enjoyed our lunch.“
