“When heading towards Beverly for a property management home inspection, I wanted to find a local coffee joint that I could get a coffee and a snack of some sort. Afro Joe's was calling to me. Walking in, greeted warmly, the adventure began. If you haven't been, check the menu before you go because you will want to order one of each item! Since it was my first time, most certainly NOT the last, I needed a lifeline. Charmaine to the rescue. I don't know if I manifested or she read my mind , but when I asked which sandwich I should order instantly , she said the short rib! Boom! Done. Next up, a drink choice. Again I was not led astray. The option was a blueberry lavender cold brew topped with rose cold foam. As she was suggesting the option, Charmaine lifted the one she was drinking and again instantly sold. No chocolate croissant available since it was later in the morning but the chocolate morning roll was there and three for three, the order was placed. I already know that I have to come back, time and time again.Just walking in such a chill vibe , perfect music, everyone tables either working or chatting with a friend. The open kitchen invites you to see the hustle and bustle. The garage doors roll up onto the patio for warmer days and what appears to be local art work adorns the walls. When I tell you, this is absolutely no exaggeration, every item was on point! The short rib was so flavor forward eith the bite of picked onions, there was a side of diced pickles and onions too. Also a hit. The warm bun had some fruit nestled in its chocolatey tummy, flakes and moist with the richness of cocoa. And for the latte, cold, sweet and the flavors all complimented each other so well. I did opt for whole milk because, why not?!? I had one too many client emails and texts to be able to enjoy grabbing a book from the shelf but note, they even had the sharpest of colored pencils to doodle or write a note with. I have not one complaint, well, maybe one, I wish they were in my neighborhood because this would be a staple place to visit regularly! Until we meet again and I can get my hands on a chocolate croissant next...or any one of the other of their baked goods. Support your Local Black Owned Businesses!“

“The coffee here is incredible! ☕️ What really stands out is how the owners and baristas always greet you with a smile when you arrive and say goodbye when you leave - it really makes you feel welcome 😊.

“Wow this place is gorgeous, I first walked in and thought I was transported to a different place, but I do have some bad things to say other than the good food, me and my friend had there crepes and they were delicious but not worth the 14 dollars for the pizza slice portion they gave us. The complaint I have was that the used all of the budget on the dining room but couldn’t afford to spruce up the restrooms. The floor in the bathrooms was cracking, the toilet was leaking, the door had to be slammed closed because it wasn’t on the hinges properly. The employee outside of the bathroom was also smoking indoors. Food was delish though!“

“Great service, delicious sandwiches and very pleasant customer interaction!“

“Good place, good atmosphere— not too noisy, but not too uptight. Great staff too.“

“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!“

“I been to this place over a few times and I never been disappointed, and they opened this new location in Orland park. When you walk in the atmosphere automatically hits you full of warm white marble and brown coffee colors. The place is very clean and awesome for studying because they have mini study pods!!! So enjoy your coffee and study effortlessly. As for when I order, every staff member there is wonderful. Patient, attentive, and swift. I had ordered a new item called the cream cheese cinnamon bun!! It was mouth watering (10/10 must try again) and amazing iced coffee!! So with that being said definitely stop by this location.“

Had the pleasure of visiting Grano for a second Sunday in a row. The torta did not disappoint and the cafe the olla, WOW if only I can get one every morning. The service was amazing, so courteous, and prompt with our order without sacrificing the quality or presentation. The cafe is so warm and cozy, don't snooze on Grano plan your visit soon!“

“My friends and I were visiting from out of town and had plans to go somewhere else for a quick breakfast, but it ended up being closed, and so we ended up stumbling into Robust!

Highly recommend!“

“I cannot say enough great things about Cafe 53! Not only is the service second to none, but they are extremely accommodating to allergies including a gluten allergy and someone in our party who was allergic to garlic. Absolutely 10/10, I wish I could give them more than 5 stars!!“

“Very cute! Definitely a spot to hit even if you’re not taking the train. Give the French Toast Latte a try- I don’t love super sugary coffees, this was a great balance (delicious flavor but not too sweet)! And the maple coffee syrup is made in house. My husband got the banana bread cold brew- never tasted anything like it, unique and tasted exactly like banana bread in a cup! Highly recommend 😍“

“I love Chef Sara! I popped in an hour before closing and was able to enjoy my meal. I look forward to having more there. I highly recommend you find out for yourself #MomInShaMan“

“Excellent taste. No need for sugar or cream. The aroma is magical and it leaves you craving for one more cup. The flavor reminds me of sipping on a cup of coffee on a early morning, in the mountains of Mexico. Definitely an excellent cup of coffee no matter the time of day or weather.“

“Got the molletes and drip coffee. Great start to the day. Very comfortable leather seating. Great customer service. In the same space as the art center so you can get your desayunito and your arte together. If they had merch I would snap up a hoodie with that cute lil bull logo on it lol 🐂“

“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.“

“Visited Jazwah Coffee today. It was my first time tasting Yemeni coffee. What a treat! The service was outstanding. Amer, a very pleasant server, took the time to make some outstanding recommendations for a newbie, a latte with a fresh cookie warmed up!

The shop was clean, modern, and bright. I noted many electric outlets and people working while enjoying their coffee. There was plenty of seating.

I would highly recommend stopping especially if you're in the area. I was there about 1pm and the traffic was very heavy. Yet, Jazwah was worth it!

Jazwah is located in front of Menards and across the driveway from Patio.“

“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!“

“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.“

“My friend and I were in town for a couple days and we stopped in because it was conveniently located near where we were staying. One morning their espresso machine had broken but the young lady behind the counter was very nice and helpful. I ordered a cold brew instead. The next day I got an iced mocha. Both were good. We both tried breakfast sandwiches and pastries. If you’re considering it, you should check it out!“

“I purchased the French Maniac (fresh berries, honey, Brief cheese) & Ham & Cheese Crepes today. They were outstanding. Well made & very delicious. Worth the price. Definitely, recommend trying their food. Lastly, the crepes a big!!!“

“DeMars for lunch today, Reuben Platter so good! Is this Blue Island location the last DeMars standing? Love the old school diner experience and town of Blue Island so fabulous.“

“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.“
