“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.“

“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.“

“Everyone recommends Spoken Cafe as a higher quality option for coffee in the area. Been here a few years and absolutely agree, delayed 5-star review. Incredibly friendly staff, great vibe. Lots of great food options but I confess I'm not sure I've had anything. The coffee is that great, ambiance is incredible. Yes, smaller space available with outside seating but Montrose isn't crazy busy for coffee. Small normal amount for refill not a bottomless, but arguably the quality is so high, one cup is all you need! ;')“

“I travel to the area for work and always love coming here! ♥️♥️“

“Food is mouth watering delicious. My daughter and I had the veggie tostini, oh my goodness, the best Turkish sandwich we have ever had. Owners are very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this wonderful restaurant. We will be back for sure 😊😊“

“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. ☕✨“

“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!“

“Very friendly and comfortable. Coffee was great.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Great food at affordable prices with friendly service.“

“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 ?“

“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“

“Delicious brunch platter, best ice coffee I've had all summer.“

“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!“
