50 Best Cafes near Libertyville

“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.“

“Great thrift, bake shop and cafe! Haven’t visited the other services yet!“

“CJ:
I stopped in for a simple black coffee once and it was great. It is very modern on the inside and the coffee is expensive for what I got, but good staff and short wait time. The study area has a good view of the road so you can take a short break from your work and enjoy the atmosphere.“

“Amazing place! Delicious onion soup!!!!l love it 😍“

“Any time anyone asks me for my favorite coffee place I send them here. They've got my favorite espresso of any of the local roasteries and I've never had a bad experience here. Everyone behind the counter is friendly and personable, and they always take the time to make sure things are done right.“

“I just went there to have a meeting with a coworker and absolutely loved the service and the atmosphere. The empanada was still frozen when they served it to me but the server was so kind and gentle and immediately gave me another one that was well cooked and didn’t charge me for the wait and inconvenience. I call that consideration and good business practice! Will be back again!!“

“We have been there twice. My 6 year old had a blast both times. The staff is very attentive and friendly. The coffee is delicious. One part that stood out to me both times is how well the parents monitor their children. We’ve been to similar places and had a few issues bullying. I’m not sure if it’s the layout but here you’ll see the parents actively watching, and even engaging with their kids. Thank you for providing such a safe place for our kids to play.“

The food is absolutely delicious, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. The Million Dollar Bacon is incredible—perfectly cooked and so flavorful. I can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu!“

“This place was great. Easy parking (during a wee day), friendly and patient staff, excellent Ube muffin. (I ate so fast I didn’t take a picture). I got a Malibu smoothie. It was ok, seemed like there was a good bit of ice in it. I also got a Skinny Genes juice. It was WONDERFUL!!! Looks like the company is changing their name to Gimme Cafe as of July 6th 2026 on their website. Updated from previous review on 2026-07-06“

“Lucky Jack's has to be the epitome of gaming cafes! There are three locations in the srea, all of which are identically appointed. All are very clean and spacious. You're not cramped into an area the size of a closet, or behind a roped off space up against a wall. There's ample space given between machines as well as a seating area where you can wait for a gaming station in comfortable surroundings. They also have a bar to sit at and enjoy a beer or a glass of wine. If you're playing, you're invited to share in a selection of salty snacks, and soft drinks are also gratis to gamers. The attendants always greet you with a "welcome to Lucky Jack's" and are attentive to your needs while playing.“

“Great products but why is the store not addressing the mask mandate? I was in shopping yesterday and saw more then 10 people without a mask on.“

“10 STARS IF I COULD When we walked in around 5:15pm to go to the cafe the line was really long, so I ordered via app. Omg, Emily was very calmed and collected when people seemed kind of getting antsy. She acknowledged that I was there to pick up my food and gave me a heads up that it’ll take another 3 more min. I told her it was fine and that she was doing a great job and said good luck. She was very thankful. I’m more than pleased with her and would definitely recommend! Great hire manager. Emily definitely deserve a raise.“

“I’m not usually one to write reviews, but the staff here at Starlite Cafe is absolutely lovely. Every time I walk in for lunch I am greeted with a warm smile, a sense of community, and most importantly the smell of their buffalo chicken wrap. The staff is so friendly and service + food quality is that of a 3 star Michelin restaurant. Every day I ask for extra pickles and am given an absolute boat load. I couldn’t ask for a better restaurant to have in my office. I love the Starlite Cafe.“

“I have been to Stellas at least a dozen or so times. I can only speak for myself and share my experiences. There have been at least 4-5 different people working upon my visits. The staff have always welcomed me to the establishment an have always asked me if I wanted something to drink and or something to munch on at no cost to me no matter how much I ate or drank. That being said I’m sure there’s drinks or eats at a cost. No persons or employee has ever watched what I did or how much money I spent. I know it’s called gambling for a reason. I don’t play around with money I can’t stand to lose. Thanx Carrie n Candi“

“Very good food and reasonably priced“

“Great place great people who work inside there it's cleaner then wingstop.“

“I generally enjoy Panera, and this location is a particular favorite. Customer service is usually excellent. While it isn’t equally strong every visit, my overall experience has been consistently positive.

The food is fresh and good quality, with plenty of healthy options. The prices are reasonable, too. This is my go-to spot whenever I’m in the area.“

“Need to add power outlets to the machine or get power tables to charge cell phones“

“Just walked in to see what this place was about. I was kindly greeted by Jamie. She was so nice and considerate of the fact that it's the month of Ramadaan and my mom and I were fasting. Was an extremely pleasant experience. May Allah bless her.“

“I love Dotty's. It's a nice place to game and socialize.“

“I have gone to many different Panera's and this one is by far the best. Service, food, and the manager was over the top accommodating. I had to change the pick up date and he step right up and took care of it. Couldn't be happier, will use them again!!!!“

“Great place. Very laid back and quiet. The girl working was very kind. I told the girl I was going to run next door for a snack and that I would be right back. The girl offered to go next door and get it for me. So very sweet. 5 stars for sure!“
