Coffee Shops near Northfield

“Love it especially in the summer you can sit outside and people my favorite.🤭😂“

“The staff here are honestly miracle workers. I usually come to this location on the weekend before I go to work every time they have a crazy long line in the drive-through and have a line to the door inside. I’ve seen three workers max at this location yet they get my order out quick and it’s always correct and on top of that. They are very nice people. Meanwhile, the dunkin by my house will have eight workers and half the customers and you’ll be waiting triple the time you would be spending here. Hopefully the owners of this Dunkin appreciate their workers. 🍩☕️“

“Wow! What an awesome place. I live very close to this restaurant, but had never been in to check it out. I wish I would've found it sooner. The coffee was delicious and I had the fatta - so fresh and filling. Lots of options - vegetarian, spicy, whatever you wish for and they have a lot of gelato options too. Very kind staff and very clean place. Nice tables for sitting. I can't wait to go back to try more dishes!“

“It’s the perfect environment to sit and read or chat. It’s a beautifully curated space and the drink offering is on point.“

“I love to come here on a day off and get my High lemonade and a pastry roll (cupcake, cookie, slice of cake). The people there are amazing, kind, super chill & best of all welcoming!:) Although the place is small, it’s still a great place to visit + their cute duck collection!“

“Best boba I’ve ever had, amazing!!!“

“Khepri duo Salad was delicious“

“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.“

“An ideal lunch sandwich shop features fresh, thinly sliced ingredients layered with zesty horseradish mayo, and quick service (about 3 minutes for me without a line). I had the #3 Roast Beef, a 9" sandwich that’s ample for two meals. The chewy bread and herbal dressing are delicious.

While waiting, guests can indulge in some coffee; the cold brew offers a rich, chocolate taste with no acidity, making it enjoyable whether served black or with cream.

The space includes 4 small tables and is more suited for takeout or a casual lunch date rather than large gatherings. Treat yourself!“

“I went to the opening for October Café yesterday and had such a good time! The drinks are well made and quickly done. The food tastes delicious and is incredibly friendly to those with dietary restrictions. The staff are incredibly kind and well trained. Can't recommend this place enough!“

“great cookies, stellar coffee, incredible staff. consistently high quality environment to meet friends and colleagues alike.“

“I have been to Pantera Superfoods on multiple occasions for smoothie bowls. Their bowls are delicious and the owner is so kind. I am so excited to have this place in Edgebrook. I used to drive to Bucktown for smoothie bowls. Great option on the NW side for a healthy lunch.“

“The only coffee my husband wants before heading in for a night shift at the hospital! #nurseapproved“

“We love supporting local business in the city of Des Plaines! This was a gem that we found today and the coffee was delicious. The employees of River Woods Funeral Chapels had the LaVie En Rose and the Mocha. We loved getting to know the staff and making friends in the lobby. Parking was also very convenient. This will be our usual place to get coffee!!!!!! Des Plaines Local Guide“

“Amazing place to chill and hangout with friends and to do some of your homework“

“I LOVE Side Practice Coffee. The atmosphere and ambience create the perfect place to chill with a fantastic cup of coffee. The staff and customers are super friendly. I come here to write in my journal or plan out my projects for the week. I always feel inspired here.“

“Very cute and cozy coffee shop—I had a pistachio latte that was out of this world. Barista was very kind and knew her way around a good cup of coffee.

Had probably the best cake donut ever—it was chocolate/ores and it was moist and fresh. Donuts are only available on the weekends, but you know I will be coming back for more!“

“I had a fantastic experience at this cozy cafe, thanks to Vlad, who truly made my visit special. From the moment I walked in, his warm and friendly demeanor set the tone for a great time. He recommended a pastry that I wouldn’t have thought to try, and it was absolutely amazing! The perfect balance of flavors and textures, it was fresh, delicious, and the ideal complement to my coffee. It’s clear Vlad has a great knowledge of the menu and takes pride in ensuring guests have a memorable experience. I’ll definitely be back, and highly recommend stopping by for a delightful treat!“

“WHY IS THEIR COFFEE SO CONSISTENT AND GOOD?!? I would almost feel embarrassed for one of my fav coffee spots to be a chain but truly - their espresso and espresso drinks are so consistently delicious that I just can’t help but keep going here I guess!?“

“The rise of Yemeni Tea Cafés has thrust Muslim communities into the spotlight and offers a safe space for young people to socialize and avoid the negative influences of society, such as clubs and casinos. Qahwah House, the original and most well-known of these cafés, has served as a model for the many other Muslim cafés that have opened across the region.“

“Thank you, Backlot Coffee, for letting us use our personal cups again and helping to protect the environment.“

“Friendly staff, great breakfast sandwiches, great coffee, great croissants, and free wifi.“

“This is a neighborhood hangout. Good coffee and various beverages and light snacks. If you need your caffeine fast or just to be out of the house, or finally finish your screen play this quirky joint serves the fix.

Parking: Parking is tight in this neighborhood. Most people walk from nearby and this coffee shop is supported by the community. This is not Starbucks and that is a good thing.“

“Non-sweetened almond milk for my lattes, unlike Starbucks.“

“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!“

“The best coffee shop in Highland Park/Deerfield area! Best customer service and perfect atmosphere for work meeting, reading a book or grabbing coffee with a friend!“

“My favorite coffee shop…EVER!!☕️❤️☕️❤️☕️“

“Absolutely delicious coffee, great bagel and pastry options as well. Perfect for a quick bite or coffee anytime. I love the Sundried Tomato and mozzarella on a bagel.“

“Very clean place. A gem.“

“We've been to this location ballpark 4-5 times in 2 months since we found that there's a Vietnamese food place nearby! The ginger chicken bahn mi is superior, absolutely recommend with jalapenos! (They aren't too spicy, but they add a layer of delicious with the lemongrass chicken!) The fresh shrimp spring are also just delicious, the peanut sauce that comes with is a REALLY nice consistency I didn't know I needed- it's perfect for taking a bite, drizzling some into the roll, and having another bite. Most peanut sauces are more "dipping" sauces, this is way more brilliant. They also carry a sparkling yuzu and white peach drink by Moshi that is REALLY delightful, and perfect with the bahn mi.

My guy ordered the beef pho last time, and I tried it, and I wanted to steal it, but my chicken curry was also really good, so I definitely want to order these again! There's a few other locations around the area, but under a slightly different name, Lotus Banh Mi. Guy and I feel like the consistency between the 2 locations are excellent! HIGHLY recommend!

The atmosphere at this location is great, it's off the street, with parking just around the corner, and the location has a very comfortable, fresh, feeling. We're hoping to stop by for lunch one afternoon, get some things we haven't tried yet, and walk around the area some- there's a great park about a block away!

Parking: Parking is the train station parking lot, may depend on time of day for availability. Should be free parking after 5.“

“Very cute interior and consistently kind service, but I often find the drinks lacking what I'd expect from the caliber and price point of this place. Even a cortado felt dilute and soggy, somehow.
*HOWEVER the pourover is great. Maybe just stay away from espresso-based beverages and you'll be fine.“

“Food: I got the breakfast sandwich with the gluten-free English muffin. I was impressed they had this option and then they could remove the cheese because they assemble it there. I do wish it had some kind of sauce or something as it was a bit dry, but overall, it was a good sandwich and usually I’m not a big fan of breakfast sandwiches cause I think the egg can be questionable
Drink: oat miel was very good!
Atmosphere: cute and I love that they have games to play

Dietary restrictions: Easy to make sandwich dairy and gluten free“

“Great coffee and savory items are delicious.“

“Ridman's is the best! I'm glad they're in my neighborhood!“

“In addition to fantastic live music and great folks, the food, drinks and ambience is wonderful“

“Wild roasters have one of the best-roasted coffee in town. They make sure everything is freshly made and is served to perfection. Highly recommended and a must-try.“

“Best pie I have had in Chicago“

“Baristas Payton was awesome!!“

“First time there today, but I'll be back again soon. The coffee milkshake was so good, as was their cheezy bread! Can't wait to try more!“

“Best chai latte I’ve ever had!!! & the breakfast burrito made my whole day!!“

“The bread is out of this world. My personal favorite is the seeded. The pastries are also very good. What a treasure.“
