“5 stars only because of Kenneth. Kenneth is the coolest coffee man alive. Always makes my large mocha iced in a consistent and delicious manner. Thanks Kenneth. For the rest of the crew take pride in your jobs like Kenneth does, you'll get more shout outs.“
“One of the more requested playplaces by my childrenKid-friendliness: Some of the tables are interactive, color changing circles when you touch them. The play area is nice, a tall tower for kids to look out from. It's a nice place for parents to relax and feel safe with their kids playing at.“
“An absolutely beautiful locally owned coffee shop in an area with few options. It's open and bright, and they host community events. The staff are friendly and helpful and the drinks (haven't tried the food yet, but hope to soon!) are very good!“
“The most beautiful people, FOOD, and service here!! The Empanadas were hands down the very best I’ve had! Chicken Tinga would be my number one choice!! The ground beef and potato was also very tasty! 10/10 all around. The overall ambience has a very positive, peaceful vibe!! Will definitely return! Joseline and Claudia were so sweet. This experience was definitely one to remember for myself and my Kid.Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid fiendly“
“This place is a total experience! The food is delicious, the decor is artsy and beautiful, and the owners are absolute gems. my family and I went for the first time yesterday and had the BEST time. we came for some quick pierogi but stayed for the ambiance, warm welcome, and fantastic conversation with the owners. This cafe is charming beyond belief and we will definitely be back. This is the perfect place to stop in with some friends or loved ones when you are out and about in the neighborhood. I guarantee you will want to come back again and again.“
“Wow! A friend suggested this gem for a late afternoon lunch, my it did not disappoint. A bright, energetic outdoor space filled with music and a gregarious staff.The food was amazing! The chicken some of the best I’ve tasted, big flavors. The pork sandwich another stand out. Empanadas executed so well!Don’t miss out on this spot!“
“The coffee is consistently awesome, and the theme they've got going on adds such a cool vibe coffee to the place., If you're up for a good cup of joe in a place with some serious character, this spot's where it's at. They also have Beacon donuts which is so good! Highly recommend!“
“Super recomendado, comida es extraordinaria, deli - deli , servicio, ambiente, la tienda, postres. Todo, todo. Fuimos mi nieta y yo desde Mexico. Nos encanto.Si algun dia vuelvo a Chicago, Cafe Beograd es el primer lugar a donde voy a ir. Saludos desde Mexico.“
“Logan Vegan easily has the best vegan Ice Cream I've ever had, and the owner John makes it himself which I find even cooler.It's coconut based, but doesn't taste coconutty at all. The taste and texture is just like normal ice cream. I'm lactose intolerant and used to just take a bunch of lactaids when I go to Jeni's ice cream but now I just go to Logan Vegan and I'm good - haven't been back to Jeni's in months. My personal favorites are the mint chip and cookies & cream.“
“My favorite coffee shop around! The owners are super friendly, take the time to get to know you, and they really care about the local community. They also make some of the best dang lattes and drinks (better than Dark Matter, Intelligentsia, etc.). They always have great pastries and snacks on hand as well.“
“My wife and my go to bakery spot in Chicagoland. Everything we’ve gotten here is fantastic, and it is a regular spot we will frequent until we die! Order anything and you will not be disappointed. A short list of everything we love there: cookies, lemon pound cake, olive oil cake, Georgie cake, and their cold brew. The ambiance is also awesome for a date or to just chill with friends. Can’t go wrong here!“
“Great little neighborhood coffeehouse with friendly staff working there. It’s a great place to get a cup of whatever and hang out. Nice relaxing atmosphere. Wish they have few large sofas and coffee tables set up to truly turn this coffeehouse into a place to chill.“
“Nice place but they kind of cheat you out of the cold brew; when ordering it black, they will pour less than half a cup, fill it up with ice, and then top it off with water. I like the vibe of this place but there are too many other places in the area to get coffee that WON’T water it down right in front of you.“
“The cafe is small but super cute and v aesthetic I had a banana crepe to-go and a small latte, super delicious! ? I hope they add more of a variety to their menu soon like something Latino ?? They speak Spanish which is very helpful since my dad only speaks Spanish. Will definitely be back ?✨“
“I went to the opening for October Café yesterday and had such a good time! The drinks are well made and quickly done. The food tastes delicious and is incredibly friendly to those with dietary restrictions. The staff are incredibly kind and well trained. Can't recommend this place enough!“
“Very friendly lady (reminded me of my grandma) in the front to greet you. Cute little local coffee shop. With great prices after COVID especially. Most coffee shops around Chicago area have raised their prices so was nice to spend less. Obviously i support small business' raising their prices to survive. That's life. I ordered a dirty chai and it was great! Great coffee. However was a bit sweet but that was my fault for rushing to the bathroom and not talking to the kind lady about what sweetness I wanted. ALSO the bathroom is very CLEAN. It was like a home bathroom. Please others keep it clean as well :)“
“This is my new favorite spot in La Grange! It is located east of Noodles and Co. on Calendar. It is quite small, but a great place to pick up healthy smoothies and bowls. Most things are dairy free, or vegan. I particularly love their soups! Try them out. The staff is also extremely friendly.“
“Regular here. I've been inspired by the message of HFTD ever since they did a presentation at my school. I had wanted to come here for a while, but only got the chance about a year or two ago. Since then, I have stopped by nearly every weekend. The coffee is excellent, the people here are absolutely wonderful and always open to chat, the ambience is impeccable. The staff are some of the kindest, most welcoming and accepting people I know, and I'm so happy to call some of them my legit friends. Major shoutout to the manager, he's a great guy and does a fantastic job running the shop (hey man it's Addy how ya doin') If you do stop by there is a drawing of the cafe that's behind the bar. I drew that as a commission (shameless self promo heehoo) Definitely stop by if you're ever in the area. Coming here was a great decision for me. If you're in the mood for great coffee for a great cause, look no further, and remember that "it's okay not to be okay"!<3 you guys!Addy“

“Love this place! I always bring my kid's doughnuts and treats on the weekends, and this place is absolutely amazing. Always something different to try. All the flavors are good and fresh. They sell amazing sandwiches and coffee. The crew is also so great. Must try!“
“So happy I randomly selected this place! I got the breakfast avocado club. So yummy, full of flavor, and fresh ingredients. The other patrons in the restaurant had clean plates, too. The service was great, super quick and friendly. This is a great place to go for a quick bite to eat, catch up with a friend, or a "treat yourself" date!!“
“I’m not sure why all of these people are complaining…this is a cafe. You don’t come here to take a nap or have a party…Honestly, the revamp has been refreshing. The place is clean, the dirty/damp sofas are gone, and the menu has received a much needed facelift.Anyone who comes to visit, try the traditional Korean inspired drinks and the fruit croffle. Two thumbs up from a Chicago native.“
“I have been to Pantera Superfoods on multiple occasions for smoothie bowls. Their bowls are delicious and the owner is so kind. I am so excited to have this place in Edgebrook. I used to drive to Bucktown for smoothie bowls. Great option on the NW side for a healthy lunch.“

“This is a wonderful locally owned coffee shop with great coffee, homemade syrups, delicious food, and yummy sweets (including vegan and gluten free options). The vibe is very lively and the number of regulars that filter in and out all day are a testament to its standing in the neighborhood. There is ample FREE parking. Overall 5 stars!!“
“Wow, this place is AMAZING? Great service, hopping atmosphere, and every single one of our dishes were delicious. We will be making this establishment a regular breakfast place during our Chicago visits! Food ordered was: Breakfast burrito Croissant Sandwich Buttermilk pancakes with a side of crispy bacon!“
“This place is 5 stars across the board. The food is delicious, the workers are really nice, and it has a chill relaxing atmosphere. I like going here with a coworker, but I would totally come here to just have a coffee and read.Vegetarian options: You can change most items on the menu to cater to what you needDietary restrictions: You can change most items on the menu to cater to what you need“
“I enjoyed my drink which was the Yemeni tea with honey. It was so delicious and flavorful. The pastries were yummy too. Love the open atmosphere, especially when the doors are open. The cashier was helpful when I had questions ordering and my drink came out quickly. Highly recommend!“
“Excellent addition to the Irving Park/Albany Park area. I tried the prosciutto & mozzarella sub and it was very good, pictured is the 9 inch which was plenty for one person. Reasonably priced. Nice service. Charming cozy spot to eat in. I will be back!“
“Was craving boba tea and tried this place out today. Pleasantly surprised with the place and how simple and cozy it felt. Tried their Hokkaido with cheese foam and it was great - a bit too sweet but overall it was delicious. Do wanna say that it is a bit on the pricier side in comparison to other boba shops. Going to try other drinks from here in the future. Overall a good experience and no complaints.“
“This place carries a huge variety of magazines, including in foreign languages. That said, my favorite area to browse is the wall of books on Chicago; the various neighborhoods, unique bits of history, architecture and on & on. The cafe area excels in its own right with coffee & pastries - even vegan options. Enjoy a great cup of coffee and live music on weekends. Just a wonderful place.“

“The food was good. Reasonable prices and the owners are magnificent. Everybody there. It's a good place to be very friendly. Very the service is good. Everybody can't complain about nothing.And thank God, their prices were so low that I had to ask the waitress if she forgot to add something to do and she said no, that's the price, I said you can't even go to McDonald's for the price, and it was good food. So I'm very happy and I will definitely go back and back and back.“
“I love this coffee shop. They were friendly, they knew me by name, and their coffee and specialty drinks are tasty. I also really enjoyed their Avacado toast. It was absolutely delicious. It is refreshing to go to a locally own coffee shop, that has a wonderful atmosphere, and great prices too. I highly recommend this coffee shop to anyone in the area.“
“LOVE the Brazilian empanadas here & the pao de queijo! All the empanada flavors are delish & I love the crust but some of my favorites include: beef, chicken, ham & cheese & the breakfast ones. I also get the Brazilian lemonade. Place is clean, bright & cheery & I had great service today. This is a favorite for me & I travel here just to get the empanadas & pao de queijo.“
“I’ve been going to Addis for the past 7 years and rarely skip a day… What drew me in was the very best tasting pour over that I’ve ever had and what keeps me coming back is the family feeling: from the friendly crew behind the counter to the local residents who make Addis a must have part of their daily routine, this place is well worth a try. I guarantee that once you try Addis coffee, their amazing waffles, avocado toast, Ethiopian chechebsa, turmeric lattes etc… you will be hooked!“
“One of the best coffee roasters in the western burbs, and definitely my favorite coffee shop to work from. Their signature and seasonal drinks are great, plus this location also serves cocktails. Highly recommend!Parking: Parking is ample, but can be a bit tricky due to the layout of the building.“
“Super cute, aesthetic cafe! I fell in love with the interior design. They have a variety of food options in their menu along with their caffeinated and decaffeinated drinks with a long list of flavors for their coffee. The staff were very welcoming. The food were all delicious! Love their latte. Pay to park street parking available. I definitely recommend checking this coffee shop out.“
“This is a great spot to not only get bubble tea but also Korean hotdogs! Stopped in to try it out, got a couple dogs, and a lemon ginger tea. Cute little place with multiple claw prize games in the back. Nice place to just sit and chat with a friend. Will return to try other items on menu.Parking: Located in small strip mall that has parking for multiple businesses.“
“What an amazing time! The Breakfast Pie (Louisiana Hand Pie) was absolutely delicious, and their Matcha was the perfect accompaniment. The service was incredibly friendly and welcoming - I felt right at home! The decor, with its New Orleans vibes and charming masks, creates such a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Loved every moment of my visit!“
“I've known for a long time that I can get a great cup of coffee in a pleasant and upbeat shop at Perkolator, but today I learned that they're also a woman-owned business on their Instagram page, so I wanted to hop on here and say, thanks for the great coffee and service, Perkolator. And also thank you for highlighting being woman owned. You rock and I'm celebrating your success today and always.“
“It’s located next to Best Buy. There’s a huge parking lot. I’m not sure if it’s the weather, but traffic was very congested today.It’s a small coffee shop with several places to sit. I got the helios (peach mango) green tea and a ham and egg pastry. There were not a lot of places to sit at the time, so I ended up taking my pastry home to eat. The pastry had a good sized ham and plenty of cheese inside. It was delicious. The helios drink was okay, the flavors could have been stronger. Service was very friendly and helpful. The staff was efficient at making the drinks and preparing the pastries.“
“This place was amazing the severs were all very nice and had great recommendations.I had a spicy pulled pork sandwich,the crepes and omelette.So tasty and delicious I would recommend the coffee de olla to anyone coming in.Made very sweet with a hint of cinnamon.“

“Of all the places I've tried around the city, Taste of Colombia has the best coffee anywhere in Chicago. My favorite part though is the wonderful people who work there! I feel super fortunate to have them just two blocks from my house. Make sure to give them a try!How cool this place is! They have the best coffee and desserts in all of Chicago, but the best thing is the people who work there. Many thanks to Naima, Toni and Alejandra. Always a pleasure to spend some time with you every weekend!“
“The best cheese cake I have ever had. Good place to stop if you need to bring dessert. So many flavors to choose from. I highly recommend Eli's. I can remember when Eli's restaurant was downtown on East Chicago Ave., We would have dinner and cheesecake for dessert. I always have one in the freezer, for unexpected guest. Peter K.“
“Best coffee shop in all Oak Park, IL, I do like the place, the atmosphere, the coffee is really really good, you should go, have some pastries or croissants. I recommend The Coffee although they have tea and other beverages. I highly recommend this place.The service is outstanding, smooth“
“Damn Fine Coffee, always fast service! Their lavender latte is an absolute delight and has since become my drink of choice. Their cardamom ginger latte is equally divine! They carry an amazing variety of vegan donuts that rivals any in the city, I've been trying them all. While the Boston cream had me hooked for a while, the blueberry stuffed donut stole the show with its burst of flavor. If you're on the hunt for delectable vegan treats, check this place out. The staff is knowledgeable and also attentive to every detail, ensuring a memorable experience every time. This spot is a must-visit for any coffee and pastry enthusiast!“
“Five stars for great coffee (I had a large latte), comfy setup, and nice staff. However, I did not like my yuca waffle. It was sticky and chewy, the consistency of a gummy bear. The place was very full and people seem to be enjoying their food, so I will be back and I will try something else.“
“Ate at Harvest Pancake House & Grill for a late breakfast/early lunch and loved it! We got the country skillet and a chipotle chicken avocado panini with fries. Everything was fresh and delicious. I was surprised how good and moist the chicken was. Place was clean and fresh. Service was great and the waitress were all very friendly and polite.“
“Love me some egg Mc-whatevers!This location is great - clean, friendly, efficient, and a nice dine-in space! Not sure I'm yet a fan of electronic ordering, but I do appreciate the rewards for using the Mc-App! Got 2 Egg/bacon/biscuits and coffee for under $8.“
