“Great food, Christian book Store“

“Amazing food. Staff was great and the owner likes Kola Champagne lol so he stocks it. Perfect way to celebrate my kids' graduations. Hopefully I can host a Cars and Coffee there. Best of luck, we will spread the word.“

“One of the friendliest spits in Chicago. The food is good - outstanding sausage, and you have to have their home-made salsa - and it's an incredible bargain, especially their breakfast "sidewalk special."“

“Best coffee in the area!!!“

“food is ok but hire staff that at least acts like they wanna be there. they are horrible everytime we go in there. very rude to us everytime. and soooooo slow even when they have no other tables. horrible service everytime“

“The products and place are phenomenal! Such good vibes! Thank you to Nashwa, Trina and Joey! I highly recommend stopping in!!“

“I was over around this place because of work saw a line around the corner knew I had to try it eventually made my way back. Couldn’t be happier that I did oh my goodness this place is absolutely freaking incredible!!! completely fresh local ingredients, pastries, absolutely incredible sandwiches, homemade soda pops. 🤯🔥🔥🔥 a definite must try!!!! I cannot wait to go back very soon!!!“

“Atmosphere is warm and inviting. The crepes are excellent! I had both savory and sweet and liked them both! They were wrapping up a crêpe cake for someone when we were there. It looked amazing! We will definitely be back! (Yes, the staff wear masks!)“

“4LW is one of the best cafes in the city for a picky coffee lover. They also have plenty of things to offer the casual coffee consumer. The baristas always stay calm under pressure which makes the experience really pleasant.

The only criticism I have is that some of their signatures are way too sweet. The Ube and Pandan Vanilla syrups, while delicious, have some of their notes drowned out by sweetness. I wish there was a half sweet option for these flavors.“

“What a super store for food, magazines, music and especially lefty books!“

“Yum. The food was fantastic.“

“Brewpoint is a gem in the Western suburbs of Chicago. I am entirely blessed to live blocks from their craft location on York. Exposed brick, chandeliers, and a plant wall surrounds you - a grateful reprieve from cookie cutter Starbucks decor. Coffee, matcha, and baked goods are top notch (haven't tried cocktails or charcuterie yet). A wonderful mix of professionals, college students, community organizers, and socially conscious suburban moms escaping the kids (I'm sure I'm missing wonderful others). Sometimes I'm not sure how I manage to keep living in the suburbs when the city is still home for me after 10 years in Elmhurst, but Brewpoint certainly makes it easier.“

“Love this Place! Stop by 3-4 times a week to eat or get work down.“

“Amazing dine-in pizza spot. Unique pizzas by the slice means everyone can try something different. Their pulled pork pizza is the best slice I've ever eaten, bar none. Cheese curds are delicious too!“

“Please is perfect in all aspects.“

“I went for the very first time. Wow! this place is amazing. from the service to the food I am so impressed . I'm so glad I live close to this Hidden Gem that I found. Great Job! Highly recommend!“

“Chose to come here because it’s a halfway point between my friend’s and I’s homes, and it was such a pleasant experience! The atmosphere was very nice and calm, the smells were divine, and the service was excellent! We got to chat with the owner for a second and she was absolutely darling! I had a strawberry matcha latte with brown sugar boba and I know in a week I’ll be craving it again. 10/10 will be coming back again!“

“excelente cafe chapaneco y sus tortas exquisitas!!“

“I love this place. I usually order delivery but it is reasonably priced and so good. We usually order the breakfast sandwiches and breakfast burrito. This is the first place I've had cafe con leche and it was so good. We order all the time.“

I went in for a coffee and came out with coffee and a cake. Super delicious and the customer service was phenomenal. The boy and the girl are very attentive. I recommend it!“

“Deserves more than 5 stars! WONDERFUL experience each time I come here. Everything made from scratch. Not just pierogi ---Gelato, soups, empanadas, tamales, pizza pie (takes 50 mins to make from scratch and worth it!!) Premium Belgium chocolates, shakes, Coffee and most recent.....160 (yes one hundred and sixty) different premium teas from around the world!!.....and more to come! They also own the tea room and book store next to the cafe. Owners are THE BEST! Welcoming, personable and humorous. Dinning outside available and pups are welcome! You can tell they have a passion for the business. HIGHLY recommend! ENJOY!“

“The food was absolutely so delicious. I ordered a steak shawarma plate and it tasted very fresh and warm. Everyone who works here is so kind and the cashier was a young girl who read me the whole menu and helped me choose what to get. She was so nice and I loved everything about this cute cafe.“

“my son and I just recently discovered this place in our neighborhood thru Groupon, we love it. my son enjoys it while I can relax and enjoy some ME time.“

“Who ever thought I would buy pies for the crust? Their crusts are so buttery and flaky. Yum! But then, there is all the wonderful flavor you fill them with as well... Absolutely amazing! Better than homemade and so, so much better than store-bought or big chain bakeries. It has been fun trying the seasonal varieties, and I have yet to find one of their pies I don't like.“

“First off this was my 1st visit to this location and it is so cute!!! The atmosphere is so chill and inviting. The owner is super nice! Tried the Crepes for the 1st time and they were delicious! Now I usually visit Tower Nutrition because it's by my house, but this is his wife's location and closer to my job so... I was ecstatic to learn I could get my healthy eats while at work as well.“

“This place is so adorable and everything is fresh. We got watermelon, kiwi, and lemon which were all Delicious especially the watermelon. We also got the churro cheesecake bites that were to die for! The woman was so sweet to give us a sample of some tomato soup, as well. Will definitely be a new regular!“

“Byłam z mężem na obiad w Polish Paczki Cafe bardzo smaczne i świeże dania obiadowe Polecam każdemu kto lubi dobrze zjeść! Pyszne ciasta i pączki, bardzo miła obsługa ?“

“We are delighted to come upon this adorably sweet sitting room. Whether sipping housemade drinking chocolate with specialty marshmallows or tea, lunch fare with vegan raspberry or manhattan whiskey truffles is always a meaningful visit. I wish there wad a location nearer to me! I will return soon.“

“A-M-A-Z-I-N-G food! I got the breakfast sando, which imo rivals Kasama’s breakfast sandwich simply because of the complexity and balance of its many flavors. The apple cinnamon bun was light, airy, and not too sweet which was perfect as a compliment to the sando. The sweetness of the vanilla bean latte wasn’t overpowering and still tasted like you were drinking actual coffee and not a Frappuccino. DEFINITELY making a return trip!“

“My granddaughter loves their Boba tea, as do I. My daughters grew up coming here during their grammar & HS years & now my granddaughter 10 Loves it.“
