“They have, without a doubt, the most amazing chicken and waffles I’ve ever had. Not only were they delicious, but they were delivered steaming hot, which is not what I’ve had in the past at other restaurants. To yourself a favor and order this. It is beyond wonderful! And the service could not have been better and more wonderful. This place is an absolute gem.“

“We love Cupitol at all hours of the day, but weekend brunch is the best. Food is top notch, service is fast, and Dylan makes our day.“

“This is a gem that everyone should know about, but I'm thrilled there isn't a 30+ minute wait every time I go.
As someone who loves coffee, I still don't understand how their coffee tastes so good. Their plain, black coffee and Americanos taste out of this world. Some of the best coffee if not the best I've ever had. The food is always fresh, tastes/seems made to order, and again the coffee is amazing. A friend who doesn't drink caffeine loves their decaf, and as someone who doesn't drink decaf, even I like their decaf.“

“Cozy cafe with an admirable dedication to reducing waste and in particular plastic coffee cup usage. I really appreciated the stainless steel, freezing cold cup for my iced coffee. Sandwich was very bland and overall disappointing for the price paid, which was excessive. Coffee was decent, service was quick and efficient, and it was a fun place to hangout for 30 minutes.“

“I love this place. Never thought I’d love cheese on my ice cream but I am so glad it was introduced to me here. They are incredibly friendly and quick and a great selection and variety of flavors. Even some exotic flavors…check this place out Uptown!“

“Met for a brainstorming session…their coffee is a catalyst for sure! Great selection of healthy options with just enough sinful options to keep it balanced!“

“Absolutely loved our visit here—this place nails cozy, welcoming, and polished all at once. From the moment we sat down, it felt like a little oasis: plush seating, spotless tables, and thoughtful touches like fresh flowers that instantly elevate the vibe. The coffee was excellent—smooth, well-balanced, and clearly made with care. That latte art alone deserves applause, but the taste backed it up completely. What really stood out was how genuinely warm and family-friendly the atmosphere is. It’s the kind of place where you can relax with a beautifully made coffee while your child feels just as welcome and happy. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and everything arrived promptly. Whether you’re meeting a friend, enjoying a quiet moment to yourself, or stopping in with kids, this café hits the sweet spot between stylish and comfortable. A true neighborhood gem—and definitely a place we’ll keep coming back to. ☕✨“

“We stopped in for a snack and shared a Sunny Roll, very fun and tasty! I had the almond berry smoothie and it was seriously amazing, I could barely keep it away from my husband! He had an americano which he said was very good. My husband is not vegan but he still loved everything.
The smoothie was $12 which felt a little steep when ordering, but it was fully justified by the quality ingredients and how delicious it was. The Sunny Roll was $7 which is a great price imo.“

“Great espresso and amazing staff!“

“Such a cool and unique place to hang out with friends fot coffee, breakfast, lunch and shopping! Extremely friendly and fast service too!“

“The owner is so nice and knowledgeable. This is our goto spot for coffee, beans in the burbs. Very recommended“

“Thank you Ricky for being the owner, barista and host extraordinaire. I am in walking distance to your cozy establishment, and I cannot believe I just visited you this Saturday morning for the first time.

I am a BIG fan of your generous sized cold coffee glass! Plus, the delicious coffee with whole milk was just so tasty and gave me that needed boost. The breakfast panni was extra yummy and with the side hot peppers and hot sauce, gave me that extra boost!

I am a former history teacher, and the black and white photos took me back to my days teaching students of important activists such as A. Philip Randolph. Thank you for that added historical touch!
I'll be back soon with other friends!“

“I had the pleasure of having some amazing tamales packed with flavor. I've eaten tamales most of my life and I brought some for my grandma who came to Chicago from Mexico and she absolutely loved them she has been eating them for 70 plus years and for her to provide her stamp of approval means a lot. Highly recommend!“

“Matcha was insane. As an avid matcha drinker who knows quality, their matcha is so good and you can really taste it, not just like sweet grass. The prices were quite expensive, around $8+ per matcha, and their portions were quite small (12 oz). Though, the quality was worth it and my matcha was devoured in minutes. I will be back for more! Just wished there were bigger portions for the price. Just look at the color and you will see!“

“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!“

“Great food at affordable prices with friendly service.“

“Very friendly and comfortable. Coffee was great.“

“Best pie I have had in Chicago“

“Excellent service, very clean. Too many choices of sandwiches. Great coffee. Love, love this place.“

“If you’re looking for a local spot that truly goes above and beyond, I can’t recommend Glenview Grind enough. We’ve used them for teacher gift cards every year, and it’s become one of our favorite traditions—such an easy and appreciated gift. This year, we also had them cater breakfast for Teacher Appreciation Week, and they absolutely exceeded expectations. The entire process—from ordering to pickup—was seamless. Their team was incredibly organized, friendly, and genuinely helpful every step of the way. They even assisted with loading everything up, which made a huge difference during a busy morning. The food was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented, and the customer service truly stood out. You can tell they care about their customers and take pride in what they do. Highly, highly recommend supporting this wonderful local business“

“I’ve been coming to First Sip for years, and I’m pretty sure I’ve tried almost every Vietnamese coffee they have. The Brown Butter Pandan has always been my favorite, but the new Vietnamese Salted Foam Coffee is SO good. I wasn’t expecting to love it this much. Definitely give it a try if you stop by! 😍😍“

“Excellent highly recommended“

“The food and the service here is really outstanding. I really love the breakfast bagels, the mother jones, hamlet, treehugger, and yosh kawano sandwiches, the do-rite doughnuts, and the chocolate chip cookies and the service is very warm, friendly, helpful, and accomodating. Keep up the great work!“

“One of my favorite places for coffee and to get some work done in the area! Great mocha, great options, also a solid mocha! Wide variety of milk options, syrups, and drinks. Great vibe for working (plenty of tables) or meeting up with someone!“

“My team member Mary gifted me with some bagels along with the honey vanilla and strawberry spread and I literally couldn’t stop eating the bagels and spread. They were delicious! I can’t wait to grab more!!!!“
