“I ordered them from uber eats for the and it was so good I needed to leave a review… what do you mean I can order GORMET chocolate covered strawberries to my door?? Their chocolate is out of this world. Juice mixes are refreshing. The croffle thing changed my life. Insanely fresh fruit.
I will probably order from this place weekly. And when I’m broke and fat, monthly (to feed Mother Nature) at the very least. Please never close“

“First time here and I loved it! I came during that quiet time between lunch and after work. They have locally-made gelato! They have an AWESOME barista! I am really sorry I forgot to ask their name. Whoever was working Tuesday afternoon, you are great, thank you. They make their own syrups, y'all AND THERE IS WINE, by the glass or bottle and they're open til EIGHT! And there's Open Mic tomorrow (Wednesday) night!! Signups at 6:45!“

“Great place in a great neighborhood!“

“Neat place in Hyde Park for coffee and mingling. Thank you for such a great neighborhood shop and such lovely crafted food and drink!“

“To say this place is phenomenal would be an understatement. I had the banana cream latte with almond milk and it was amazing. They don't make it too sweet like the big chain coffee shops, you can still taste the expresso and the flavoring they use, which is how a latte should be in my opinion. They offer sweetness levels if you prefer it more sweet. Great service, friendly employees/owners, and great atmosphere. I will definitely be back on the next cheat day. I love having places like this around.“

“Pekoe and Bean recently catered our event, and we had a great experience! They were able to accommodate us when we needed to make a change, and I could not be more grateful for that. Our guests loved the food! We ordered sandwiches, scones, and mini deserts. Everything was fantastic! Staff was also super friendly and helped me load everything in my car. Thank you so much. Highly recommend!“

“First time here and I will be back. Really liked the ambiance and food. The food seemed really fresh. I had the avocado toastband the bread and avocado was so soft and rich. I also had some tea and was was surprised how large a small cup was. Lastly I liked the ambiance and neighborhood feel.“

“Best espresso martinis in Oak Lawn. Excellent service, adorable decor, perfect spot to sip on a delicious drink, eat a wonderful appetizer, and catch up with friends.“

“This is a great place to grab/dine in for Breakfast whenever you are taking the Metra to Work.“

“I’d always swing by to get my “to go” Iced Latte with an extra shot of Espresso here. The ambiance is great! The staff is friendly!“

“This is a fantastic Cafe with great staff and a lovely atmosphere; a nice place to just sit and relax.“

“This place is a sleeper that makes a great garlic chicken salad sandwich on a dutch crunch bread.

A dutch crunch bread, when baked, has a pillowy inside but the exterior is a crispy crackled crust that looks similar to the bark og a tree/log. And the crunch is second to none!!! This should be used on all sandwiches!!!

The creamy garlic chicken salad has chunks of premium white meat with a hint of garlic, followed by heat from the giardeneria. All this is wrapped up with liberal amounts of cooling shredded lettuce. And the sub sandwich was huge and price point was fairly low at under $13 for this size. Definitely going to come back and try other ones in the future.

The space is small and dark, a bit cramped and many students tend to be socializing or studying. And that makes sense since these prices are relatively less than other similar delis.“

“Delicious Mediterranean desserts and homemade ice cream! large ,clean and spacious room to sit down and enjoy your desserts 🍨 very friendly staff ❤️❤️❤️“

“Tried this place thanks to Google maps reviews, no regrets! Beautiful cafe built in a historic train station. Bonus: the train still passes through here! Delicious drinks. Friendly staff. Clean tables and ample seating. Free parking lot with plenty of space.

Only area for improvement was that there was a door jammed open and letting in lots of cold air, I hope it was a temporary issue that has since been resolved.

Would recommend 😊“

“Very well thought out menu, great service, welcoming and pleasant ambience!“

“Biggby Midlothian made my day today on my lunch break! Their service and coffee are awesome. It is a neighborhood family that owns this location. I highly recommend skipping Dunkin, and heading to Biggby for your coffee!“

“Honestly some of the best food I've eaten in a while. More than worth it. Everything was incredible.“

“Very cozy and peaceful. The owner was there the day I visited he made me a show lavender latte and ask me to taste before leaving counter to assure it was too my liking. I had a blueberry muffin that was fresh and delightful. The service was nice the latte and muffin were delicious and it was quiet and cozy enough for me to do my work meetings. Definitely will be a regular.“

“Every time I go through Chicago, I buy food from them, and absolutely every time it’s insanely delicious, I highly recommend a plescavica, as well as any crepes, with Nutella, with berries, with red fish, everything is very tasty, thank you!“

“First time customer. I ordered a Caramel nut shake and omg 100/10 it was delicious. I also ordered an egg and cheese sandwich on croissant. It was good too. I would definitely recommend this place. Customer service was excellent and the atmosphere was calm.“

“Donuts are amazing! 💯 recommend“

“This is clearly one of the last diners in Blue Island or surrounding neighborhoods. It was SO nostalgic inside, right down to the kinda-padded seats on the booths. The food is tremendous in taste and price and so was the service! I’m glad to see “staples” like this have survived and could give lessons in good old fashion dining. Thanks DeMars!💛“

“I just recently started going there since last year. No negative reviews here. Every single experience has been great alongside with the food. When it’s your birthday, the staff sings to you. You pay what you get and it’s worth every penny. Keep up the great work Alexander’s!! As busy as it gets: even when people are standing room only: it goes by quickly and the staff greets you with their kindness and smiles.“

“Absolutely perfect 👌🏾 wouldn’t change a thing“

“One of the best local breakfast or lunch spots in town! I've been by a few times with friends over the last few months and have tried the avocado toast and a few other items. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and even offered us complimentary soups while we were waiting for our meals, which arrived quickly and tasted absolutely amazing. For the quality of the food, the prices are insanely cheap. The monster cookie is to DIE for. Highly recommend you stop in and check this place out if you need coffee or a good healthy morning or afternoon meal!“

“It is a Nice Starbucks Spot“

“Every Sunday on my way to church and occasionally on my way to work during the week, I stop at this Starbucks. I love the atmosphere when I go in but most of the time, I use the drive thru. The staff is so accommodating, so courteous and kind. I always leave there humming. Love it!!!!“

“Best stuffed French toast ever! The owners are hand on and very hospitable. They close at 2pm, so make sure you time your visit early.“

“Always the best place to stop for late night hungry run!“

“Best tortas in Chicago!! And amazing paletas con membrillo“
