Coffee Shops near Mettawa

“This is my husband’s and my favorite breakfast stop while traveling from Illinois to Tennessee. Why can’t other McDonald’s be just as good? We always have freshly baked breakfast sandwiches with efficient and friendly service. Real clean too. Look forward to another visit on our next trip.“

“Me and my mother made it a tradition to come here every Sunday. We absolutely LOVE this place! Great people great atmosphere. and the best coffee!“

“This place is a gem! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by how kind and knowledgeable the staff was. The girl who helped me was so sweet, super patient, and explained everything perfectly. You can really tell they care about the customer experience and make sure you feel comfortable and taken care of. Now let’s talk about the lemonades—WOW. Infused and delicious, it was honestly one of the best lemonades I’ve ever had. And the baked goods? Incredible. Soft, flavorful, and just the right amount of kick. Everything I tried was amazing, and I can’t wait to go back and try more. I seriously love, love, love this place. The staff, the products, the vibe—Blazed Bakery is on point. Thank you for such an awesome experience!“

“Best coffee is Waukegan, HANDS DOWN!“

“The Tala in Libertyville is also where Tala roasts its coffee. It's a cute little spot. The coffee is always delicious and high quality. I like that this location has muffins in addition to donuts. The zucchini chocolate chip muffins are amazing. The staff is friendly.“

“Friendly service and great donuts!“

“I tried a coffee from here for the first time. Elena is so sweet and I LOVEEEE her accent. But she truly is so nice and sweet and I love that (i think i have a crush on her). Apart from her the coffee was SOOOO good. I was feeling low on energy so I needed something and this coffee was amazing. You can tell she is passionate about what she does and that makes me very happy to see. It’s safe to say i won’t be getting coffee from anyone else bc I love every but about it.“

“great coffee! its very cozy“

“Stopped in for a coffee during my lunch and was very impressed with not only their selection, but with the taste as well! I got the Maple Cardamom and was very good. Highly recommend if in the area!“

“The best coffee shop in Highland Park/Deerfield area! Best customer service and perfect atmosphere for work meeting, reading a book or grabbing coffee with a friend!“

“The blts are amazing here! I mean so much is amazing here! Thank you for always providing such amazing food and treats!“

“アイスコーヒーとバブルワッフルで午後のひと時を楽しめます。“

“My daughter and I happened to be in Lake Forest on this beautiful morning, and she was craving some coffee. We did a quick Yelp search and Hometown Coffee was the top rated place.

My daughter ordered an iced Latte, and I ordered a Cafe Au Lait. My coffee was delicious and she said her Iced Latte might be the best she's ever had!!

We both agreed this place deserves five stars!“

“Wild roasters have one of the best-roasted coffee in town. They make sure everything is freshly made and is served to perfection. Highly recommended and a must-try.“

“visiting from minnesota and this coffee shop is super cute! i got an iced vanilla matcha latte, and it was delicious! the baristas are super sweet and go the extra step to get you the perfect drink! the vibe is really nice, and there's a lot of natural lighting! they also told us all the places we could park. just an overall perfect place to have a drink and get some work done :)“

“Frank was super accommodating at the last minute for a corporate workshop we hosted. The set-up he provided was beautifully organized for presentation to our guests. Everyone raved about the great, "local" AREA Coffee. It was delicious and piping hot. A new go-to for us; thanks, Frank!“

“We've been to this location ballpark 4-5 times in 2 months since we found that there's a Vietnamese food place nearby! The ginger chicken bahn mi is superior, absolutely recommend with jalapenos! (They aren't too spicy, but they add a layer of delicious with the lemongrass chicken!) The fresh shrimp spring are also just delicious, the peanut sauce that comes with is a REALLY nice consistency I didn't know I needed- it's perfect for taking a bite, drizzling some into the roll, and having another bite. Most peanut sauces are more "dipping" sauces, this is way more brilliant. They also carry a sparkling yuzu and white peach drink by Moshi that is REALLY delightful, and perfect with the bahn mi.

My guy ordered the beef pho last time, and I tried it, and I wanted to steal it, but my chicken curry was also really good, so I definitely want to order these again! There's a few other locations around the area, but under a slightly different name, Lotus Banh Mi. Guy and I feel like the consistency between the 2 locations are excellent! HIGHLY recommend!

The atmosphere at this location is great, it's off the street, with parking just around the corner, and the location has a very comfortable, fresh, feeling. We're hoping to stop by for lunch one afternoon, get some things we haven't tried yet, and walk around the area some- there's a great park about a block away!

Parking: Parking is the train station parking lot, may depend on time of day for availability. Should be free parking after 5.“

“The blts are amazing here! I mean so much is amazing here! Thank you for always providing such amazing food and treats!“

“On Monday I visited a Samarkand cafe that was recommended to me by a friend. The food was delicious, thanks for the kitchen. I also want to mention that the service was amazing, our waitress Suraya, thank you for the excellent service, you really helped us with choosing food.“

“I came here with my mom today for some coffee and was pleased. The atmosphere was nice, the place was clean, Servers were sweet, the coffee was amazing, and they had public bathrooms. Overall, this was a nice place, and I would be back here again. 😌“

“The bread is out of this world. My personal favorite is the seeded. The pastries are also very good. What a treasure.“

“Conscious cup is my go to in town, even though we have quite a few independent coffee shops. The drinks and food are great. Disappointed with the price updates lately, a sandwich is now the same price as it used to be but a half size. I understand the rising costs of things but I think management needs to reconsider this or adjust prices to bring back the original sizes.“

“Visited for breakfast a few days ago and had the best French toast I've ever had; they do their Cinnamon Roll French Toast right. Our server was super friendly, the kitchen was backed up a little but she made sure to check in frequently and keep us updated. Super cute inside too, definitely recommend for easy breakfast!“

“Delish donuts! Will be back!!“

“Had a tea at this place, I did. It was surely a very nice place to have something warm especially amidst the below freezing temperatures. This is also located within walking distance from a Metra station, which is very nice.

Moreover, the staff is very nice too!“

“I've been here three times in the past year and have been wowed each time. The employees are always nice and accommodating. The food is perfect each time, the bathrooms and restaurant itself are very clean, and the space is welcoming! That's saying a lot from someone who worked in a lot of restaurants over the years and can easily spot issues. Bagels are chewy, thaw nicely after being in my freezer for a bit, and make excellent sandwiches. Thank you for the Windex and cleaning up my water bottle catastrophe ;)“

“Hi, The best donuts anywhere. They are working and baking at 2:00 each morn, so you can have fresh donuts in the morning. Best Chocolate frosting ever; little secret, freshly made. They try hard to please everyone.“

“Newly remodeled and just re-opened. Was nice inside! Recommend kiwi-lemonade refresher!“

“Everytime we come to this mall, this is one of first things we get. We saw a sign saying they had three variety flavors of horchata drinks and we jsut had to give it a try. Our go to is the Cafe horchata but you can get vanilla or chocolate as well if coffee isn't your go too. I've had them all and they are all delicious.“

“A hidden gem, hole in the wall, donut shop… Nostalgic, because this place definitely used to be a Dunkin’, and maintains the 90’s Dunkin’ vibe like a time capsule. However, their donuts are better. In my experience, they’ve never been stale. Always delicately fried and perfectly sweet. Mexican foodies can also find pan dulce.“

“If Cheers was in Lake Bluff, it would be Prairie. Each member of the staff has a unique and inviting personality who makes each visit feel personal, inviting, and small town. The regulars are split between morning and evening hours, with a few floaters. We welcome folks to the community, catch up on happenings, and bring a little joy each day. Mandy, the chef, compiles an amazing array of food items, from cinnamon rolls and coffee cakes, to casseroles and egg sandwiches during the morning, and a variety of sandwiches in the afternoons. The spot has outdoor seating on the sidewalk, as well as a dedicated secluded covered alley space with ample seating and ambience. Summertime events include covered alleyway cookouts and inclusion of other local businesses for special bites. Evenings can feature a quiet bar, karaoke, or live music. With a recently announced addition of Jeff Urso, a local restauranteur, to the ownership, 2024 is anticipated to be a great year for Prairie. Would highly recommend checking out this local gem.“

“Love it especially in the summer you can sit outside and people my favorite.🤭😂“

“Best grilled cheese sandwich!“

“WOW WOW WOW !!! AMAZING cookies and so beautiful too“

“Best bakery ever.“

“Why do you keep going back if “every time you go” there is a problem? That’s seems crazy. I believe if they make a drink incorrectly they will remake it with a smile on their face. If they don’t have an ingredient what do expect them to do? I really like this location, they are friendly and are working hard to serve you. Out of Oatmilk? Have you addressed this with management? Maybe there is a shortage, transportation issues? Seems to me you just want to complain about workers who are making you something you don’t want to make for yourself. BE KIND is how I was brought up, what happened to you?“

“Found my favorite childhood snack — egg waffles 🧇 — at MilkCow cafe near home! Definitely coming back again! Their ice cream was amazing too — super creamy and full of milky goodness 🍦💛“

“My 4 year old son loved it here!!! He was so proud to have designed a donut (which was actually just the cookies and cream option from the menu) but he watched them make it and decorate it and then showed it to everyone he passed. He said they were the BEST donuts he’s ever had! I had the cold brew with sweet cream which was solid.“

“Great staff and delicious fresh treats!! 🩷“

“Love that Dunkin.Donuts in Highland Park good muffins good tea service with a smile“

“great customer service !!“

“GREAT ATMOSPHERE- GREAT COFFEE & that Ham & Cheese Roll was amazing“

“Everyone there is so friendly! Adrian always makes me smile at the drive thru. Whenever I get my Citrus Defender he asks me if I like the taste or I’m under the weather- then tells me he hops I feel better 😀“

“This Starbucks location went above and beyond for me the other day. I had been to a different Starbucks location, ordered a non coffee drink, took one sip and knew it had coffee in it, but they denied it so I left and started my drive. Took a few more sips and couldn't take it because I really do not like coffee and really wanted something nice to sip on while I drove so I decided to try again at this Lake Forest location. I explained what happened just to make sure I hadn't accidentally ordered a coffee drink ... they went above and beyond to make sure I had a perfect drink and were super friendly and generous about it. It had been an exhausting week for me and the delicious drink along with the excellent, positive experience at this Waukegan Road Lake Forest Starbucks really made my day!!!“

“There is no drive-through!!!In-person service was fastTried the New Mini everything bagel, and very little cream cheese is in the bagel.The bagels are soft ?.The taste of the bagels isn't the same.I would buy it again just for a small snack ? to have.“

“I've been a regular at this Starbucks and it's always a fantastic experience! The staff are super friendly and bring such positive energy every time I visit. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming—perfect for relaxing or getting a bit of work done. Definitely one of my favorite Starbucks locations!“

“Morning shift workers help you out in any way you want very nice food quality and drinks

Parking: Two girls in the morning I don't know their names help me make a drink that was can cancel from the menu they did a great job“

“Mmmmmmmm! We love the Creamery! Many great memories here.🙂❤️ Great ice cream and the affogato is so good!“

“This place is absolutely adorable and cozy! Food was just perfect, had smoked salmon benedict and it was the best breakfast I’ve ever had!!! 10/10“

“Thank you, Joon for the delicious boba teas 🧋 and smoothies! They were a hit! 18 drinks to celebrate our daughter’s birthday! My personal fave is milk tea with easy tapioca. We absolutely love this place and definitely will return!“
