“Try em all.………………………………….“

“Very good food and reasonably priced“

“This restaurant is a perfect example of how one of its style should operate! When we came in the door we were immediately greeted and things were rolling forward perfectly seamless! The host and hostess were very kind humans and sat us down. The entire place was clean and cared for you could tell! Tony was our server and came to the table and was immediately on top of things after introducing himself and taking great care of us! During our whole visit Tony stayed on top of our order and drinks, everything came out as expected and was very delicious! The drink options are quite a variety as well! All sorts of coffees on the menu, fresh juices including ones for health with ginger and turmeric, tea options and more! One of our party members had some special requests and even those were taken care of by the kitchen well as Tony put them in properly! The food was fresh, cooked right, prepared and dished well! We enjoyed everything and our time here! We’ll be coming back without a doubt! Hard to find a place like this these days! Keep it up!“

“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.“

“Absolutely delightful atmosphere and I loved my latte!“

“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. 😃“

“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.“

“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! 🌹🌹“

“If you’re looking for a local spot that truly goes above and beyond, I can’t recommend Glenview Grind enough. We’ve used them for teacher gift cards every year, and it’s become one of our favorite traditions—such an easy and appreciated gift. This year, we also had them cater breakfast for Teacher Appreciation Week, and they absolutely exceeded expectations. The entire process—from ordering to pickup—was seamless. Their team was incredibly organized, friendly, and genuinely helpful every step of the way. They even assisted with loading everything up, which made a huge difference during a busy morning. The food was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented, and the customer service truly stood out. You can tell they care about their customers and take pride in what they do. Highly, highly recommend supporting this wonderful local business“

“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.“

“Inside, outside, early night, late night, no matter when or where, it’s always fantastic, every single time. The spicy feta is great, the chicken kabobs, martinis, coffees, have never had anything not fantastic!“

“Great, but pricey pastry. Good breakfast and light lunch in a very pleasant setting.“

“That Little French Guy makes us happy every time we head that way. The Champs de Élysées doesn’t have better! It’s being back in Paris, every unique French delight. Thank you for our favorite place to visit often.“

“I rarely eat out these days because it’s hard to find places that truly care about using quality ingredients, but this place blew me away! 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!“

“Best scones! Excited to visit in February!“

“By far one of the best breakfast joint in the area 😋 🙏 💪“

“Fresh Made Cafe consistently delivers an outstanding experience. The quality and freshness of the food truly set them apart. Everything is made to order, and you can taste the difference in every bite. The ingredients are always fresh, the portions are generous, and each meal is prepared with love.

What makes this place even better is the exceptional customer service. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely focused on making sure every customer has a great experience!

If you’re looking for delicious, freshly made food and top-notch service, Fresh Made Cafe is a must-visit. Highly recommended!“

“Great food and the best customer service. Can’t wait to come back!“

“The food is absolutely delicious. All fresh ingredients make for an amazing taste sensation. The gallery offers unique types of merchandise (many are perfect for gift-giving). It is a small place, and not easily spotted from the street. It is located just one block West of the intersection of Plum Grove Road & Euclid Avenue, ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF EUCLID AVE & BROCKWAY STREET IN PALATINE. The owners/staff are very friendly,, accommodating, and provide excellent service. I can't say enough good things about this place, and want to give it a big shout-out because it is easy to miss unless you are looking for it. You must check it out!!..... not only because it's a great little place, but because we should all do our part in supporting our local small restaurants & businesses. *I suggest trying the macarons for dessert“

“アイスコーヒーとバブルワッフルで午後のひと時を楽しめます。“

“Love this place! Great coffee ☕️“

“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“

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

“I've been going to this location since it opened. I was very disappointed to find out that 2 of my favorite people are not going to be there. To say that the place was not clean and the customer service is poor is like saying the Pope is Jewish. Whomever made this decision made a very poor decision. Trish has a wonderful personalty and is very attentive. When it comes to doing her job there is no one better. Scott is very intuned with what's going on and is the perfect choice for someone to run that place. The person who made that horrible review was not a nice person. She would literally ignore me when I would go in there. I stopped going when she was there because she was a mean and petty person. She drove away business. I really will have to think whether I want to frequent your stores anymore. It's the people that are there that make me want to go there.“

“my God the egg roll and bi col express..you'll miss the half miles of your life..pag di no Natikman...believe me....“

“Excelente lugar con un menú delicioso 💯 % recomendó“

“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.“

“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.“

“Some of the best pastries I have ever had! I have been there several times now and plan to keep going. Service has always been quick and efficient. Staff is polite, cafe is kept very clean, there is a little play area for kids, and they even have Mahjong tables you can rent for free! I plan to play Hong Kong style with some friends in September. I am so grateful for this cafe.“

“Thank you so very much for the amazing experience“

“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.“

“We were looking for breakfast while on the Highway. This place was 10 minutes out of our way, but well worth it! This was the best French Toast and the staff worked together like a well oiled machine. They were all so friendly and efficient.“
