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!“

“Brunch at the 3 Arts Club Café at RH Chicago is a truly elevated experience.

“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!“

“The food here never disappoints, as evidenced by the crowds waiting outside. You can get on the waitlist, but on the computer outside the restaurant, not on your phone, they want to see your whole party before seating you. Everything we got was delicious, even the orange juice tasted freshly squeezed. We visit every time we are in town!“

“loved everything about it!“

“My mother and I popped in here before work this morning, and we loved our lattes, pastry, and the service! I love the gothy-ness of the decor, the decent amount of seating, cool staff-made art for sale, and even the mildly lower lighting (in contrast to other coffee shops that feel retina-burningly bright). Very queer and alternative-friendly vibes, too.

Definitely stop by for a visit if you're in the area - I liked it a lot!“

“I have no doubt his place is going to be amazing.“

“Atmospheric spot located in a large high rise. Features coffee, breakfast, lunch, cocktails, and a small pantry with drinks and small bites.

Food was decent, but was all reheated on site, leading to the center being a bit cold. Coffee too tasted a bit off, it wasn't burnt but it fell a bit flat.“

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

“Crepes were delicious 👍“

“We had lunch here today, and loved everything! Roberto, our server, was the best! Super friendly. Brisket sandwich was fab! Best potato salad I've ever had! Can't wait to go back!“

“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!“

“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“

“Once you buy your new doll here, you can bring her into the store to get some new outfits, cool accessories, and also, try a new hair style for her. They have a restaurant, too! A perfect place to take your daughter/grand-daughters, and nieces! (2025) 👗👒“

“I had a lovely todo italiano sandwich. The bread was had a great crust giving it a good contrast to the fluffy but chewy body. Prices are affordable, and they have a selection of baked goods along with their breads. They do take tap to pay and cards.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re looking for a little slice of New Orleans, Junebug Cafe is the place to be! From the moment you walk in, the aroma of rich, smooth coffee fills the air, and the first bite of their Louisiana hand pies or fluffy, powdered-sugar-dusted beignets will transport you straight to the French Quarter. The flavors are authentic, the atmosphere is warm, and every sip and bite feels like a celebration. Don’t miss out on this hidden gem—your taste buds will thank you! ☕✨ Start your morning with a little taste of New Orleans right here at Junebug Cafe! #JunebugCafe #TasteOfNOLA #BeignetsAndCoffee #CafeVibes“

“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.

Visit them today to see for yourself. Check their hours of operation.“

“Got to meet Peter at a wedding last night! Such a great idea. They must have made about 500 boba drinks in 3 hours. They were in and out quick, no mess, smiling... I'll definitely be by the shop to check it out!“

“My food was prepared very efficiently. I got the samosa chaat. Big flavor, nice and spicy. The spices and citrus balanced the dish perfectly. My server Shanu helped me decide what to get, since I'm a little unfamiliar with this chaat. Their desserts (the one with cottage cheese) and chai are great too. Would recommend to anyone!“

“Great Food Great Staff Excellent Place Great for the community 👏 👍 🙌“

“A super fun spot to hang out and play board games! There’s an entrance fee with a suggested per-table spend on food and drinks. The game catalog is extensive, and the staff are friendly and patient & happy to explain rules and offer suggestions. The food and drinks are surprisingly good too - the cardamom latte was super tasty, and the key lime graham cracker dip was another standout and almost like a deconstructed cheesecake. Overall, a lively spot I’d happily return to for games and light snacks.“

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

“If you’re a match lover, RUN, don’t walk here. Every drink is handcrafted with so much care and flavor that you can taste the difference.
