50 Best Cafes near Lincolnwood

“I stop there once or twice a month and everything is usually good, but I can’t recommend the fish tacos. Not good and take a long time to prepare.“

“If you’re looking for cozy vibes, killer food, and a board game collection that could humble even the most confident strategist, this café is your new happy place. The real MVP? Matt, our waitress, who somehow juggled food orders, game rule explanations, and emotional support like a seasoned dungeon master. She’s basically the Gandalf of good service. The food was shockingly excellent. The grilled cheese healed us. The fries may have unlocked a new level of consciousness. Come for the games, stay for the food, worship Matt. Would trade all my victory points to come back!“

“We stopped in today on a tip and what a delicious treat! Highly recommend!“

“First of all we want to thank the restaurant all the hosts and servers were amazing. We got mixed up with the reservations and ended up arriving late because of our confusion. So i called to tell them we were on our way and that it was our anniversary and they hold the table for us and very kindly and warmly welcomed us to the restaurant eventhough we arrived 20 mins after. The server Audry is the best, she was so kind and so nice and she made sure we had a pleaeant and wonderful anniversary celebration, we are so thankful with her, she is the best!!!!! And we had the best dinner and great time, great music and beautiful place!!!“

“loved everything about it!“

“Food was good but even though I was a party of 1, they let people who signed up after me with a party of 2 and 3 go ahead of me, which I would have understood if they were giving me a smaller table. But they gave me the same size table as the ones they let go ahead of me but registered after I did. So there didn't seem to be any methodology on how they assigned tables. And I even said I didn't have a preference on inside or outside. Just first available knowing it's 48 degrees in November in Chicago.“

“I thought the Olive Oil Cake would be weird, turns out it is delicious. i will definitely come back for it. We have a great breakfast. Everything just so delicious..“

“First timers and now we will be regulars! The hospitality, atmosphere and fare were outstanding! From the knowledgeable staff, the welcoming management and the hostess that went WAY above and beyond to be sure my disabled husband was accommodated from when we booked our reservation to the end of our dining experience - we couldn’t have been more delighted! See you again soon, Lardon!“

“Nos encantó! Muy limpio y elegante, nos atendieron muy bien. La comida estaba muy rica!“

“Get the lavender Hazel coffee iced , it will put you in a great mood for the rest of the day. This is a great place with a great mission“

“Hexe is a Chicago based roaster offering a unique gothic aesthetic and inspired food and pastry options. The 'Evil Friends' roast is a staple in my home espresso setup, and the Lanthrop Homes based location is an excellent spot to check out, especially in the fall.“

“great cookies, stellar coffee, incredible staff. consistently high quality environment to meet friends and colleagues alike.“

“TARY is a fantastic little cafe located in the heart of Chicago’s River North neighborhood, offering what seems to be fusion between traditional Kazakh klassics and modern American cooking styles.

I must admit, the rustic decor and furnishings really does make you feel like you’ve stepped foot into a little Kazakh babushka’s living room!

I would absolutely recommend their iced matcha latte with a touch of vanilla syrup. It’s super smooth and pairs amazingly with their luxurious cinnamon roll that’s served on soft, pillowy bread and topped with cream cheese that adds a delicious refreshing factor.

I also highly recommend their scrambled eggs on brioche, they are extra soft and melt in your mouth while the brioche bread is the excellent vehicle for transporting those delicate little eggs down the goblet!“

“This is a small neighborhood restaurant with excellent service and food. There is a nice selection of sandwiches. The daily specials which usually include a homemade soup with fresh bread are delicious and priced very economically. They also have homemade breads and deserts, all of which are very good.“

“Best pie I have had in Chicago“

“It's amazing to see a chai place right across the street from the millennium Park Bean. I never would have thought in a million years. That Ginger cardamom tea really hit the spot on a freezing cold day. I make my own at home And this definitely passed the test. It was nice and packed a punch.“

“We had your coffee Unicorn Blood at a new coffee shop in Kenosha Wisconsin (Kenosha Coffee Roasters) and it was absolutely amazing! I’m an original Chicagoan and was glad to see such a great coffee company back home when I looked you up. We will visit one of your shops when we are back home. Meanwhile, I’ll pick up bags locally! Bravo and good luck to you all!“

“The service is outstanding. The food is delicious.“

“I've been going since I was 10, my all time favorite coffee shop! I 100% reccomend going if ur a book worm or even want to hear some nice live music to listen to!“

“Drinks were so tasty! The service was perfect. We came here on a Tuesday night and the staff was so friendly and caring, and they even will take the time to explain how to play the game you choose AND suggest games for you as well. My gf and I were visiting from out of town and we have been to many board game cafes. This isn’t normal. Really speaks a lot about the place. Support this biz as much as you can.“

“Great selection of empanadas and tacos along with coffee drinks. The interior is very small but there's a patio on the sidewalk and next to the café to sit at.

The empanadas were great, crust and fillings were both superb. Absolutely worth your time to go here.“

“We had such a fun and wonderful experience! I came in with my friends for a quick glance cs they said the place looked pretty. The meals were top-notch and the staff were so caring towards your comfort and preferences! I got the Kids French Toast after meal as a treat for myself, and I almost ascended from the sweetness! It was just that good 😍👌 I wish I took a whole pic of my friends meals too cs theirs looked so presentable and delicious 🤤 Over all, the place was so aesthetically pleasing and the decorations were adorable! I wish we had arrived at a less busy time, but we will definitely come early next time for the best experience!“

“I'm kicking myself for having slept on this place for too long. I've been coming in semi-regularly for the last few months for coffee, bagels, and sometimes donuts before my morning commute. Always delicious, staff is always friendly, and I enjoy the atmosphere. I recommend bringing your own mug if you're getting coffee to-go because they're actively trying to minimize waste. Love that this place is in my neighborhood.“

“Broadway Cafe isn’t just a place to grab a pastry—it’s an adventure waiting to unfold. My journey began with a warm welcome from Samar, the spirited guide to this treasure trove of baked delights. As I scanned the display of tempting creations, Samar pointed out what would soon become the pinnacle of my dessert escapades: a towering masterpiece that redefined what a cannoli could be.

This wasn’t your average pastry. The top layer, a crisp cannoli shell filled with luscious custard, vanilla, and white chocolate cream, stood like the peak of a culinary mountain daring me to conquer it. Beneath it, a base so soft and rich it could have been mistaken for a cloud spun from sugar. Each bite was a thrilling expedition, as flavors burst like fireworks, keeping my taste buds on their toes.

But let me tell you, it wasn’t just the dessert that made the experience so unforgettable. The cafe exuded an old-world charm blended seamlessly with a modern flair. The whole place felt like a secret portal, whisking me away from the bustling streets of Chicago into a realm where pastries are not just food—they’re art.

Samar, with the enthusiasm of a pastry connoisseur and the wit of a stand-up comedian, ensured that every moment was as entertaining as it was delicious. The energy in the air was contagious, making it impossible not to laugh, savor, and let the adventure take its course.

If you’re ever in Chicago, skip the tourist traps. Broadway Cafe is where the real thrill lies—where a simple pastry becomes a tale of discovery, indulgence, and joy. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you, and your soul will come back for more.“

“Food is mouth watering delicious. My daughter and I had the veggie tostini, oh my goodness, the best Turkish sandwich we have ever had. Owners are very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this wonderful restaurant. We will be back for sure 😊😊“

“I love their dirty chai latte and their vendor opportunities. The staff is welcoming, helpful and friendly. The place is bright and has comfortable seating. It’s always a pleasure to meet there and hold vendor opportunities.“

“we came here because of tiktok and went to the field museum afterwards!

i have a very low tolerance and hardly ever indulge (due to not liking how anxious id get). a huge thank you to the super kind employee that not only educated us on delta 8 but also recommended i add cbd to my lemonade—it gave me a much better experience! definitely plan on coming back! ✌️“

“One of the friendliest spits in Chicago. The food is good - outstanding sausage, and you have to have their home-made salsa - and it's an incredible bargain, especially their breakfast "sidewalk special."“

“Food was delicious. Everything we had was amazing.“

“Cute little place. Big portions. Not a fan of the matcha.“

“After ordering a Brooks saddle tool in May, and reaching out to them in July after not receiving it, I received an email of refunding my cash, and a shipment email for the tool. If I get it, ok. If I don’t, ok. I understand times are crazy, yet communication is key. In an instant gratification society, we must be patient. Good luck with your business, be safe, and stay healthy ☮️“
