Cafes near Northbrook

“The crepes were delectable! The service was prompt, and the food was fresh.“

“Here's what you need to know: love this location and the team is just so friendly and awesome. I see Stephanie the GM, Veronica, the manager, and Jose / Richard in the kitchen every weekend and they are always so bright and efficient and brilliant in their preparation of the food and interaction of the customers. Just a joy to be in this restaurant.Favorite foods: soufflé/quiche for breakfast, iced coffee (they least have simple syrup at the trays. Y the coffee - thanks for that, max n cheese in a sourdough bowl for lunch or dinner (which we often take home and have it with our home smoked brisket), and the kitchen sink cookie and muffies for dessert.Yum!“

“Great coffee and savory items are delicious.“

“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."“

“Brilliant espresso. Very friendly service. Most of the pastries left were vegan/gluten free, so I didn't try them.

Fantastic place for either a quick stop or hang out with friends. Or work on your laptop if that's your thing...“

Kid-friendliness: And good food for kids and adults.“

“Came here today (party of 6, with three small kids) and everything was wonderful. Very helpful staff, lovely restaurant, and delicious food. We were hoping to sit outside but the indoor ambience was lovely. All of our food was amazing and came out quickly. We had a hard time deciding on how to order food for two toddlers and the waitress stepped right in with suggestions and portion sizes. It really took the leg work out of ordering food and hoping it wouldn’t be too much/too little. This is such a welcome addition to the downtown Skokie area as there aren’t many decent brunch/lunch options so we will definitely be back and we hope Don Julio’s becomes a mainstay here!“

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

“This was such a wonderful experience! The space is tasteful and, as in the name, cozy. Felt real. Ricky, the owner who was serving, asked me right away how my day was going — but in a way that communicated that he ACTUALLY wanted to know. And given the morning I’d had, this was sooo welcomed. The coffee was great and I loved the original names with personal meaning he had given to each pastry (one was named after his late Mama Loretta, another after his favorite jazz musician and when anyone orders it, he plays a particular song.)

I learned about how dedicated he is to creating this warm, inviting and authentic space for the community, and his fascinating backstory of working a super well paid job, then giving it up for this dream. I only wish I lived closer to this special gem of warmth and kindness in this often rushed and cold city.“

“Super cool atmosphere, very friendly and inviting. The tea 🍵 I had was phenomenal. I can't wait to start training with the coaches. Thank you Mount Prospect Illinois for Bringing something so Refreshing to our Community 🙏🏻“

“Absolutely the best pancakes that I have tasted in a very long time.
If you are like me, and steer away from pancakes because they just don't taste as good as your great-grandmother's, you have to eat a stack at this cafe.

The first bite literally took me to my grandmother's table. I could not be happier with my breakfast today.

The service is consistent, the atmosphere is cozy, and.... well you know what I think about the food.

5/5 all around.“

“Wow! This place is Great ! I had the turkey panini with a açai bowl. Everything was super fresh and very good ! The couple who work there are very welcoming and super nice ! 10/0 would recommend! I will for sure be going back when I’m in the area.“

“Food is always fantastic. The avocado toast, the breakfast burritos, and the lunch paninis are bangers, not to mention the brownies (we always grab one to-go).

The owner and employees are all very sweet and the space is vibrant—in the summer the full windows open and it's just a really pleasant spot to grab breakfast or lunch. Would love to see more authentic, small places like this open up and thrive in the North Shore.“

“Came here for the first time and was surprised with their food and service. Bartenders were attentive and served you with a smile. Their nachos were some of the best I’ve had, and the atmosphere puts you a drinking and dancing mood. Definitely will come back and would recommend to friends.“
