Cafes near Lake Zurich

“This place is wonderful! It’s brand new and fun for hours! The 3 and under area is a great addition for the younger ones. The decor is pleasing to the eye and not decorated in bright harsh colors like most kids places! There’s plenty of seating options for adults too. The cafe has a lot of options as well. Re-entry is allowed so it was perfect to go take a little break and come back later. I highly recommend it!“

“Best Panera I’ve ever been to. The owner/manager is always there and you can tell he has a good rapport with the employees. They seem to be happy working there which is reflected in the quality of the food and service. The food is always fresh and hot and the employees are always helpful and friendly“

“I’ve been a patron of Stella’s Lake Zurich for over three years and the ambiance is absolutely the best. Carmen, a hostess on the day shift, assures that all guests are welcomed and offered snacks and beverages. It’s always a pleasure visiting that gaming location.“

“First time here and love it! I used to live in Arlington Heights and was driving by for an appointment. There used to be a Starbucks. I got the gingerbread latte and the papa Nicholas sandwich. Yum 😋 Such a great cause for the community as well. 😃“

“DELICIOUS! We were staying at the Renaissance hotel for the Pinball Expo. We came for breakfast and lunch. Everything was very delicious and portions were good for the price. If I lived in Schaumburg, I would be eating there every week. Wait staff was attentive always checking in on us.“

“Absolutely delightful atmosphere and I loved my latte!“

“I recently visited a charming Nelikona coffee place in downtown Palatine. The rose 🌹 coffee was delicious. I loved that it was served in gorgeous tea cups, adding a unique touch to the experience. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for gatherings or meetings. The staff were incredibly friendly, which enhanced the welcoming vibe. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great coffee experience—I’ll definitely be back! 🌹🌹“

“Anam Cara Cafe was the perfect location for our family reunion on Black Friday! We were able to reserve a private room, so the little ones had free range to run around and not bother other patrons and the adults could comfortably hear each other and catch up. The staff was so friendly and helpful throughout the entire process, from setting up the reservation to not rushing us out at the end of our gathering. They gave us great and attentive service without hovering and interrupting our conversations. Food was excellent and served promptly. Would definitely recommend! We're already talking about meeting there again when the Wisconsin and Chicago sides of the family meet up the next time.“

“delicious sandwiches and I wouldn't consider anybody else for my catering needs.“

“Wow, just WOW. Words cannot begin to describe just how pleased I am with my dining experience. Friendly staff, great food, and amazing atmosphere are just some of the things that contributed to my unforgettable experience. Not only was there little to no wait time, the workers were very patient and kind towards me while I was ordering my food. After receiving my food, the least I can say is that I was simply blown away. The portion sizes are immaculate and the flavors are unlike anything I’ve had before. I will definitely be returning here for my future meals and I can’t recommend it to others enough.“

“*update, the owner was quick to respond and a changing table will be installed, THANK YOU!*

*no changing tables in the bathrooms for my daughter. had to change her on the soaking wet sink top. not a fun experience at all and have tried emailing them with no response.*

This is one of my go to places in Libertyville. I love the atmosphere, the location, and their sandwiches/scones. The only reason I'm giving it a 4/5 is I'm a chai lover and I wish they had a chai that was vanilla flavored on the menu. It's very spicy and I'm not a fan. Other than this, my friends always rave about the drinks they get since I'm not an actual coffee person.“

“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 :)“

“My family and I ate here for the first time passing through from Iowa. The cream stuffed crepes with fruit were amazing!! And of course the coffee with flavored whipped cream was the best we have had in a long time. Absolutely loved it!!!“

“💕 it! Been going in Florida forever. Glad we finally have them here! Very clean, great covid precautions. Food and smoothies were really good!“

“The General Manager in Hoffman Estates Panera is one of the best I have ever seen. His name is Brian. He is constantly on the go, working the register, making drinks, cleaning tables, helping people as needed. Very approachable. We frequent this store regularly. Kudos Brian!“
