“I am laying here in the bed thinking about the coffee I can’t wait to get tomorrow ??☕️? because all of the employees in the morning are so wonderful at this location ? but I am so serious ? Especially one in particular I believe name is Dizie or it may be Ditzy but we’ll just call her D-Dreezy since that’s our friend now ? She is so great at her job, smooth & ? She be knowing everyone’s order by voice & face when I do come in ???? The manager Mike is cool too. If you want some good coffee and really don’t know how to order, get a French Vanilla Swirl or Hazelnut Swirl with No Cream (Black) & Extra Sugar (L-5) ❤️?“
“Love this place saves me some money sometimes lol but I just think the workers should add my smoothie to the top at least my drink not half way with ice. Buffalo sauce with fries is a mustThis place can depend on hard working people. The only thing I dislike is them telling you to give good reviews but end of giving you black coffee when the receipt clearly says 5 and 5. Ignorance at it most.“
“Best Bakery ever. Their products are delicious and made with care and a lot of know-how. They use locally sourced wonderful flour (I use the same at home). Staff is wonderful as well. I visit them from out of state on a regular basis because they are better than anything I have found anywhere else.Even though fresh is the best, I can also freeze a loaf and it is still great after being defrosted.Their croissants are out of this world.“
“Adam is the owner and strives to bring the community together through great coffee and experiences. You can’t help but to feel right at home in the shop and you’ll always find more than just great coffee- pastries, food, art or even make a new friend! There’s also a running club that meets every Wednesday and Saturday at 6am. Everyone is welcome!“
“We were staying in the area and looking for a breakfast spot. It is important to know that this place has a table or two, but not an eat in restaurant. We grabbed a half dozen of the freshest, fluffy doughnuts-ube, cream-filled, jelly-filled, chocolate and strawberry iced and a blueberry. We couldn't try them all, but we made a dent, taking it all back to our hotel to enjoy.“
“We stopped in one afternoon to Harmony Coffee Bar. You know what harmony is ? A combination of things or parts that forms a connected and unified whole. That just about sums up our visit to this adorable cafe. I ordered the Gold Crush Latte which is topped with Dalgona which melted into the latte giving it a slightly sweet and mellow flavor. My companion ordered an iced Gold Crush Latte so they could enjoy the Dalgona as it slowly released its sugary cookie flavor into the coffee beverage. As we savored our drinks in the pleasant and cozy seating, they prepared our Croffle, a combination of croissant and waffle, and it was crispy and buttery and caramelly. All in all, a harmonious mix of flavors and textures that added up to a very pleasant midday interlude.“

“Tala Coffee Roasters was an excellent choice to find quality espresso, a fun but professional atmosphere, and knowledgeable staff who care about producing great results. The espresso was well balanced with amazing texture and the milk-based vanilla latte was just as good. It was a welcomed treat finding delicious old fashioned donuts and other pastries at the counter.If you are looking for whole bean coffee, these folks have what you’re looking for. Their labels provide you plenty of information about the coffee that is in the bag and most importantly; the bag has a roasted on date! This is something that a lot of roasters forget, but if you like to geek out over coffee, it is important to know just how fresh your beans are in order to get the best results from your coffee.“
“Pros: Donuts made fresh to order, so you get them warm! Many varieties to choose from.Cons: Their donuts are on the cake-y side. Not my cup of tea. And they don't have filled donuts like Boston creams. We got there around 2pm when the place was empty. Service was prompt (duh) but I wouldn't call it warm.Since I prefer raised or filled donuts, I probably won't be coming back.“
“5-stars for lattes. We wanted food but decided against it because there was a wait and only one person behind the counter, making things a bit too slow. We were thinking about sitting for a while but the metal chairs are cold and uncomfortable and that part of the mall is cavernous and noisy, so we chose to walk around instead.“
“Hi ! Thank you for reading my reviews! I'm happy! This cafe is unusual. The cafe is located on the site of an old car service station. In Europe this is unthinkable.. There is definitely the best coffee within a 100 mile radius! There is no design, but the atmosphere is beautiful in its simplicity! I would add small cups of expresso coffee and desserts with sponge cake. I recommend visiting!“
“All that it was hyped up to be! Brought my wife and son for a coffee but ended up trying the breakfast sandwich and pastries mmmmm so Devine. Everyone is super friendly, professional and attentive. This fine establishment is a military supporter so be sure to inform the cashier. I definitely recommend this Awesome coffee shop to Everyone!“
“Hansa always does such a great job! Their staff are so nice and I tend to love their seasonal lattes. I look forward to my Hansa mornings (or evenings) and like getting my work done in their cafe while enjoying their drinks. I do wish they had a loyalty program, though!“
“I saw this place online through a search in the area for healthy foods. The physical place is very nice. The atmosphere is great too! The menu is much larger and diverse than you would expect from a small healthy food establishment. The food tasted great! I had the avocado toast, see pic. The only issue I had was that I received a single piece of GF bread with the avocado and egg on top for $16! I expected at least twice this for the price. This was definitely less food than I expected for the money! I suggest they reconsider the portion size for that much money. Otherwise, I really liked the place!“
“The date cardamom latte, I asked for oat milk, was redolent of spice, with a cute heart in the foam. The croissant was soft, rather than flaky, but I'm not complaining because there wasn't a crumb left to be had. Solid offerings, friendly staff, efficient service.“

“Wonderful location in Libertyville with an engaging and friendly staff. They take the time to get your order right, and I was very impressed with the Barista skills. The art of creating a milk foam icon (image of a fox ?) on my mocha was unique and made stopping a truly enjoyable experience. Highly recommend.“
“Recently discovered this cafe and have been there at least five times in a span of 3 weeks. If that doesn’t say it’s a good choice, then keep reading.The skillets are made to perfection with crispy hash browns (which I usually skip) with the tender choice of meat and grilled veggies. The Farmer’s Daughter French Toast is one of the most delicious French Toasts I’ve ever had, it’s a perfect breakfast/dessert when you really just want to eat something delicious.Now the drinks: Their black plain coffee is smooth and tasty even without sugar. I love the lavender latte, foamy and served with a cute design, all perfect for a rainy day. If you like high quality tea, then this is the place to go get one.Most importantly the service is always friendly and the atmosphere is friendly for all ages.“
“It’s a lovely bakery. I’ve had their cakes, macarons and pastries. My new favorite is the ube latte!Would love to give 5 stars however their customer service could use some work. The young lady working on Sunday 3/3 was very rude to my husband and I.“
“I’ll start with the positives! It’s great to have a store—let alone a bubble tea spot—open as late as 11 PM in the suburbs. The interior is very cute and the menu has a nice variety.My sister and I ordered the mango smoothie and green matcha milk tea. The mango smoothie was good, but it tasted more like durian than mango. The green matcha milk tea was just tapioca and sweet water ? which would be somewhat acceptable if not for the menu picture, which advertises a very different drink. It may be on us for ordering a less popular item, though..“
“I was highly recommended to this establishment by locals. Mocha was exquisite, never thought mocha could taste this good. Who ever made my mocha definitely mastered the art. Cashier tall dark hair with glasses, soft spoken, really made my experience enjoyable. Left speechless to say the least.“
“TL;DR 5/5: This is how a café should be.Food 5/5: Spring Pea was the soup of the day on each of 2024 March 20 and 21. White cream decorated the vibrant, green soup as a barista would an artful latte and the colors enhanced a rich and textured soup which included strips of Genoa salami. The Rosemary Ham & Cheddar Savory Crepe, accompanied by a vinaigrette-topped salad, added further taste and temperature -- heavy and warm from the savory crepe, light and chilled from the salad -- to the meal. Next, while the Classic Bennie (Canadian bacon, poached eggs, with house salad) was also filling, the Denver Omelet (bell peppers, onion, rosemary ham, cheddar, and substituting chips for house salad) beat all of the above with not only its sunny eggs and bright red bell peppers but also its delicate flavor. And to drink, a hot, Honey Lavender Latte ("heavenly" was how I described it to a server who asked how everything was), proved to be popular for good reason.Service 5/5: Dining in was quasi counter-based, where one orders and pays at the counter, receives utensils and a number to set at their table, and has their meal brought to them and finished dishes cleared away by a server who may ask how the diner's meal was. Or at least that's how it went with me, with never a lag or rush. Great job.Atmosphere 5/5: Side street parking by this café was available. Inside it was fairly busy but not packed. And the interior was bright and airy, clean and comfortable, with tables and chairs thankfully not giving even a hint of violent wobbling, unlike those of some other eateries.“
“I love the music here, I love the gorgeous atmosphere, I love the servers and the owners. Get whatever u want to drink and a snack and enjoy the gorgeous alley and bar and Lake Bluff sidewalk. I wish I could get here more often, maybe it's better I don't!“
“Love kung fu tea!! But especially this location. The ambience is so nice and gives such a welcoming feel, not to mention the space is so large. The employees are always super nice, and always make sure your drink is made well! The tapioca itself never disappoints and every drink I have had from here is so so good!“
“Excellent staff! Accidentally ordered to the wrong store and they were so kind and understanding. Helped me fix the issue right away. The boba is always delicious. Would always recommend! Also — all their drinks are lactose free (♡ thank u from someone who hates having to pay more for alt. Dairy options) I’ve ordered here many times and will continue to order here!Dietary restrictions: Heaven for anyone who’s lactose intolerant.“
“A well-needed casual cafe in Lake Forest outside of the typical Starbucks offerings. Great size, nice patio in the warmer months. Menu is pretty large. Coffee, smoothies, and pastries are fantastic (the cookies are quite decadent). Service is great - while you order at the counter, your food is brought to your table (and cleaned up afterwards)!My only gripe is that the entrees are pretty bland. Bagels are flavorless, sandwiches need more spreads/seasoning. It's like the don't use salt/butter or something.They are fine, but quite expensive for being mediocre. I guess you are paying for the service more than the food. 2 coffees, 2 breakfast sandwiches, and 1 pastry to share between my wife and I was close to $50 before tip...“
“Great customer service!! It's always busy as soon as they open. Best donuts and muffins in town! If you haven't tried, I definitely recommend you at least try one of their donuts. I have so many favorite from here to choose from to give a recommendation, lol.“
“Loved this place! The lady who took my order was friendly and patient with me. I wanted to order everything off the menu ? I couldn't decide on what I wanted. Ordered chocolate and vanilla ice cream with chocolate churros and OMG! DELICIOUS! We ordered churros to go for our 11-hour drive home to Alabama. Let's just say they didn't make it to see Alabama! We also purchased three chamoy rims they had up front. The mango is my favorite!“
“This is a cute little gelato shop right in the heart of downtown Libertyville! They have a nice selection of gelato, that seems to be made fresh there. It's not the best I've had, but definitely still recommend! The staff there has always been super nice as well.“
“OMG we found an actual donut shop! Since moving to Wisconsin from Cali, we have so missed corner donut shops. All we have in our area is the trash donuts from Grocery Stores, Kwik Trip, or Dunkin. This is the first actual donut shop we have seen and it did not disappoint. Big open space with lots of fun, large selection of donuts and a friendly staff“

“A MUST TRY!!!I ordered a brown sugar milk cafe boba drink b with a shot of decaffeinated coffee. After placing the order, I was informed that they were out of the decaffeinated coffee. The server gave me an option to change the drink to which I agreed to. She was nice to give me a surprise of a free gift card for the changes. The drink was nice and well crafted. The boba was soft and sweet.The place was nice and had great ambience. It offers many dairy based beverages and foods for all age groups. I’m definitely coming back.“
“Good place that has their own actual chef that is consistently on par with the menu and up to date changes based on seasons and holidays. Food is great. Beer and wine wall is great. Games are great. Overall 5 out of 5 and highly recommended.“
“5+1?This small out-of-the-way Starbucks (located inside Target) is really a diamond in the rough, if you consider Starbucks a diamond, LOL. They make the store on Grand and Green Bay look pathetic. The young man working behind the counter, his name is Felipe, is extremely articulate and knowledgeable, about Starbucks offerings, unlike the other store. I came in for the Medicine Ball, that is a stress relieving, stomach settling concoction that Starbucks has come up with. It's not on the menu but if you're stressed or just not feeling well, this is the thing to get. See Felipe, he's a nice young man and working his way through school. He is very attentive and always smiling. As a matter of fact I'm going to give them an extra star because he's such an excellent hire for them, he should be in management.??“
“Went to a different location today as I was traveling a different route. Bagel was delicious (multi grain), my iced coffee was very strong, had them add more milk. The place is very dark compared to other locations, needs brightening up! Service was excellent, would go back.“
“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.“
“I asked for food to be cooked fresh and that's how I receive my chicken nuggets.Vegetarian options: There's something for everyoneKid-friendliness: Definitely, family orientedParking: Big lot adjacent to Aldi'sWheelchair accessibility: YesDietary restrictions: Yes“
“Let me tell you this has been the absolute best experience at a dunkin I have ever had... the young man and woman were literally the encounter I needed.. made me laugh and smile were exceptionally kind to me even though I have never been here I felt like I had been coming here forever... 1000000 out of 10 if I could give more stars I would!!!! It's a breath of fresh air seeing the kindness they showed!!!!“
“Family decided to go to Dunkin after church. Originally we went to the Dunkin closer to our house that is on N. Lewis. Customer service was horrible there so we left and came to this one. We were greeted when we came in, and the food was delicious. I only put three stars for service because the lady that attended us was slow. Physically slow. So slow that my daughter who is 11 was saying watching her was like she was in slow motion. Like, her movements were very slow, so that you kinda understand what I'm mean. I'm not sure if she is maybe developmentally delayed, and if she is,she was amazing. Or maybe she didn't have coffee yet. Not sure. It's like it took her a moment to register what was being said. At any rate, other than that, (and that wasn't that bad, really) definitely 5 stars for the rest.“
“This is my go to Dunkin I work right around the corner and I drive around a lot I stopped here at least three times a week service is fast no matter how long the line is drive through keeps moving pretty quick. Everybody is super friendly super nice.“
“Great coffee and amazing pastries!! Highly recommend a stop here if you're in the area, but know that it can get insanely busy. Generally, I find Starbucks to be overrated but the reserve is not comparable to the rest of the chain. Espresso cocktails are my favorite so the top floor bar is a must.“
“Been meaning to make a review. This Starbucks location is my absolute favorite in Illinois. The service is out of this world, they remember your name and face even if you come only once a week. Every visit I come there, they make my Venti Iced Matcha Latte, w/ Coconut Milk and Vanilla Syrup perfectly. This is the only location that I trust will make their beverages right and do it by the cook book no matter who they hire as staff. They are also some of the nicest people and it's underrated how well they do their job.“
“Love this location! It’s right next to my job and so convenient for either before or after work. Sure, when they recently ordered there were a few minor screw ups with my order but they always remade my drinks. The inside is also always super clean and really comfortable to work in.“
