“So I originally left a one star review but today I went back to give them another chance and MUCH MUCH BETTER! I asked for the oatmilk to come from the original container due to my allergy to dairy milk. They were all so very nice! Spoke with the manager and thanked her for having a great and understanding staff!Dietary restrictions: If you have a dairy allergy steer clear they do not care and will give the wrong milk!“
“This is my second time here at chi tiva. I visit the location downtown first and second time at the Worth, IL location. My experience completely different from the first time around. I visit location downtown informing workers my first time how they offered to let us sample slushy flavors nice jester….they did not inform me of dosage and explain how it may possibly affect first timer. With that being said I ordered 50mg coffee taking a few sips and telling my sister she immediately told me to go back to check out and order a 10mg let them know it was my first time. I can say my experience second time around at the Worth location with Lori she greeted us and explained everything we were interested in getting letting us know dosages and tolerance level. I mentioned at the end I really appreciate her customer service and explaining super knowledgeable. I told myself I would probably not come back but this experience definitely worth coming back when in town. Thank you!“
““Outstanding experience at Crepello with Sharbel as our server! The zabiha halal options were a highlight, guaranteeing top-notch quality and catering to my dietary needs. The cuisine was exquisite, and Sharbel’s service was second to none. I wholeheartedly recommend Crepello, especially with Sharbel as your server, to anyone in search of exceptional food and stellar service!”“
“Loved the ambience, their milk cakes are amazing. I wish I could try them all but maybe next time. They serve the famous Yemeni Adeni chai but their flavour is not as great as Qahwah House. We also tried their Bischoff cheesecake which was decent.“

“Open in Mokena at an old bank, Clancy's has done it right. Very well done interior. Lots of seating area. Clean and pleasant music playing at a reasonable level. Great smiling and efficient staff. The coffee is delicious. The specialty drinks were great. Smart, diverse menu choices for all tastes. Food choices are there from a quick bite to more substantial sandwiches. Please given this place a try. Starbucks will be just fine without me and you, lol. Small, local businesses need us - especially ones that offer a 10/10 experience in menu/service/ambience and value. Kudos, Clancy's“
“Salam alaikum,I just wanted to give a shoutout to your Café staff. I visited for the first time last week on Tuesday and had some coffee and honey cake—absolutely delicious! The team was incredibly friendly and professional. I've been to other Yemeni Cafés before, but yours stands out as the best so far. Although I don't live nearby, I'll definitely make another trip to Orland Park, and this time with friends.All the best!“
“How they accomplish exactly what my daughter wants every year is beyond me.Last year was Hello Kitty and Dinosaurs and this year is Dinosaurs in Space.. I literally just said “I have no idea how but please help me”and they blew us away both times. I recommend them to everyone. Also, the cakes taste amazing!!!! 10 out of 10 all around. You guys are amazing!“
“Love this local restaurant! Big fan of their breakfast!! Highly recommend the breakfast tacos and this morning I tried the SEC breakfast sandwich- absolutely delicious! If your looking for a new place to grab breakfast or lunch, try them out!“
“Nectar is a really great local hidden gem for healthy eats and drinks. Great place to work remotely and kind staff. I always enjoy grabbing a Green Smoothie before my commute to work as well, great way to start the day! I’m definitely a returning customer.Update: Coffee here is really good as well!“
“My server demi was very attentive and got everything right in my very detail difficult order I always have crazy requests and she meet every need of mine. She was quick with getting us drinks and made us feel like we were the only ones in the in the restaurant even tho it was very busy and packed. She definitely deserves all the stars and the food is excellent there I got the biscuits and gravy and ciabatta sunrise sandwich they were both so good and full of flavor! I just want to say she made the experience worth it to come back again and again. I request her every time.“
“This is the best coffee place I’ve tried. Their tiramisu latte…OMG. And let not even mention the adorable country style brunch tables they have. And how fun that they have these awesome events! I can’t wait to sign up to an event soon!“
“This has to be the best hidden gem for coffee. If you like the coffeehouse vibe, you’re going to love this place. Drinks are on point, service is quick, people are friendly. Looking forward to experiencing the live music and other events scheduled here. Personally I love that I can work here instead of from home. Great addition to the area. Just keep my pistachio latte with oak milk available. Haha“
“Tierra was our first stop on a 50th birthday biking bar crawl for my husband. We are eternally grateful for all the extra special touches they provided for our party - from the customized menus to the friendly and quick service to the best shot I've ever had, the whole experience was just perfect. We had a great time and will most definitely be back!“
“I stopped here on a whim to see what this new cute shop offered. A couple was eating a delectable looking cake and I asked if it was good. The woman said yes. I ordered one and OMG! It was delicious. It was a pistachio Tres Leche-like cake with divine frosting. I usually don't indulge in decadent treats, but I'm glad I did. In these weird times, you just have to have a nice treat once and awhile. The owner was very, very nice and offered me Turkish coffee. I like my coffee really strong, but I'll need time to acquire a taste for that. They had a myriad of candies, nuts, homemade logs made with nuts and other yummy looking ingredients and other things i wished they had an English explanation for what they were. They also had beautiful serving sets for, I presume, turkish coffee. The owner said he plans to have more seating and create a little coffee shop. I stopped there after a walk in waterfall glenn with my dogs. What a delightful little excursion and fun discovery today!! I needed this bit of happiness.! It was a nice little gem to discoverP.s. I just read the other reviews and I agree with the "magic door" and "being treated like a guest in the gentleman's home" comment. Spot-on comment. Thank you for your hospitality at Sweet and Salty“
“Super cute coffee/ brunch/ bar. Super clean , and amazing staff. Expresso martinis are ideal ,and my favorite there. Heads up it isn’t chocolate on top it is a coffee bean ? I think their signage is adorable as well. How you bean? Hahaha such a cute sign.“
“Took my son here to try a boba drink. With the help of a little girl who frequents the shop, she suggested getting the strawberry aid with strawberry popping Boba and it was so good! The popping Boba taste like strawberries when they pop! We also tried the Korean corn dog with hot Cheetos Topping- delicious!!“
Ice Cream Shop • $
“Decided to come here with a friend. Their cookies were delicious. Ended up purchasing a valentine cookie along with a sundae. The sundae consisted of Grasshopper flavored ice cream with gummy bears, hot fudge, and nuts.Aside from the treats and ice cream flavors, I really appreciated the customer service. When I first got the sundae, I noticed the gummy bears were missing on my sundae. When addressed this, one of the staff members fixed my order and it made my night. I’d come back again.“
“My kids and I love coming here. Employees are always very friendly, sweet and polite. It’s nice that they made it a fun little hang out spot for kids. The candy shop in back is a nice touch. Love that there are Fun items to purchase like Funko pop, candy from Japan, and more. Menu has a large variety and many flavor options for Bobba.Can tell the place is growing and evolving over time …. Would love to see another air hockey table or some other forms of games.“
“The crème brûlée Cappuccino was great ! I added coconut flavor too . The New York Cheesecake French Toast was super amazing !! It really did taste like cheesecake filling . The other dish that I got was the Chorizo Skilet which was super tastey . I haven’t had that style of chorizo before so it was cool trying it . The potato’s inside of it made the dish so much more tastey !! A little bit spicy but you can expect that with Chorizo . Everything was so homemade and exceeded our expectations. I did wait over 40 minutes for my dishes and cappuccino I understand that maybe making those styled drinks is a process and maybe might need a little more staff for the amount of customer volume and to make these dishes . But my service was good and you can see all the workers are going fast and trying . Overall cute place and amazing homemade food .“
“I just went in there thinking it will be , I don't know, but it is like a palace of pure pleasure. The staff was welcoming and the sweets are unbelievable. Guys don't pass this place by, it is a gem. BTW I never post a review but for this I had to.“
“Absolutely recommend this place I haven’t had a donut as good since I tasted these beautiful creations. The employees are so friendly and they let me take my time to browse all the amazing options. If you haven’t tried it make sure you go ASAP.“
“I visited this store regularly. I will say i do enjoy shopping here. I believe the meat department is top-tier, which is why i purchased all my meats. I also only purchase my deli meat from here. The pricing is great. The hot food is also really good. I really enjoy the yams. They service on the buffet. They produce department and floral department is amazing.Not all of my experiences have been great. However, the good definitely out ways the bad.The customer service in the deli and meat department i give a 10 out of 10.Also the store is very clean and organized.The cashier, most are great, and the other few just give grace.“
“So Good! Vast wine and beer selection, and great intimate atmosphere. I’ve gone by myself and with others, a blast every time. The toffee cake is so damn good, it’s outrageous. Mushroom flatbread is delicious too.*they rotate the wine selection; so if you have a favorite on the menu, write it down for your notes“
“Cute local coffee shop. I got a cortado with coconut milk, my wife got the special "Witch's Brew", and our daughter got the iced chai latte. My wife and I loved ours, but our daughter said her chai tasted weird. I didn't know until later when she threw it away already, so I can't comment on what happened there. We'll be back when we get back in town.“
“Great food, and excellent service. I've had the chicken sandwich on a donut, tried the Mr Piggy, and the bacon sandwich and they are all wonderful, BUT the donuts are heavenly!!!! If you're lucky you will get Markeese - he's the best! He's very helpful, makes great suggestions and is super friendly. I've probably spent $80 on donuts for our work crew in the last few days and everyone has been very happy with his suggestions on donut flavors.“
“I usually order from this place via ubereats and besides the fact that their food is AMAZING, I want to take a moment to appreciate the safety precautions they take when it comes to food like adding stickers to the smoothies and bags to show if someone has tampered with it. I don’t see many places do that. I’m definitely a regular (even got my father in law hooked on this place). I will have to stop by in person next time.“
“I couldn't be more charmed with Toni Patisserie and Cafe - it's got a cozy cafe feeling packed with savory and sweet treats. I pre-ordered a carrot cake for my husband's birthday and it was so moist and rich and beautifully decorated, it'll definitely be my go-to cake spot moving forward.“
“My FAVORITE coffee spot. The most delicious coffee I can find in the entire area. I moved to Westmont from Carol Stream and I was on the hunt for a go-to coffee shop for MONTHS! Once I found this place, I don't go anywhere else. Delicious and very quick service.“
“Went to the tea tasting with my mother and son. Had such a wonderful time from start to finish smelling and tasting all the different types of tea. Atmosphere was awesome. The owner and the workers were so friendly and amazing. I loved how us and the other tea tasters were all brought together making it feel like we were old friends catching up and drinking our favorite tea. We will be booking another tea time for sure. I highly recommend“
“The service is always fast. I love al pastor meat tacos. The Menudo on the weekend is also very good with a lot of flavor. The nachos have a lot of meat. The only complaint I have is that the sauce is not spicy enough.Service here is always quick! Love the pork tacos! The tripe soup on the weekend is good too a lot of flavor in the broth. The nachos come with a good portion of meat. The only complaint I have is the hot sauce is not spicy enough.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian burritoChille stuffed“
“I wish I could give five stars! The coffee is excellent! Café de olla, mazapán latte, cha cha latte - chef's kiss. Customer service is usually pretty great, on occasion the you get cashiers seem a little stand offish. The reason I can't give five stars is the quality of the breakfast sandwiches-brioche bun isn't good, stale croissants, always out of bagels. It seems like their Pilsen location is better stocked. Negative notes aside, I love this place and am a loyal customer for the drinks and the delicious cupcakes (please try them!).“
“We came for birthday breakfast for our boys and had an excellent experience!Out server Marvin was very attentive and professional, as well as funny! General Manager Jose was also very attentive and great!!! Kudos!The food was delicious, all of us enjoyed our meals.I also liked that tables weren't too close to each other as is common with many breakfast places.Definitely recommend this place!Vegetarian options: I am a pescitarian, and this restaurant offered many options for me!Kid-friendliness: Very kid-friendly. The kids had fun drawing their own eggs. My boys can be rather picky, but they ate all their food, down to the last crumb!“
“Hickory Hills Nutrition is a fantastic place to find healthy and delicious options for your diet. Their staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and they have a wide variety of supplements and other products available. Overall, I highly recommend checking them out if you're looking to improve your nutrition!“

I work late on weekends and I don’t have time to get me something from there because they close at 2. I would really love if they would’ve stayed open a little later then 2 on the weekends ?“
“Definitely great breakfast/brunch spot. Service was friendly and fast. We had the Breakfast Tacos and the New Mexico skillet. Tacos were really good and a lot of food. Skillet was really flavorful and a good portion as well. The best part the Horchata Coffee, OMG the perfect combination.Wheelchair accessibility: Parking, ramp, restroom“
“Every time we go, Maria remembers us. We don't go that often which is why it tickles me. She is always so sweet and patient. The food is classic. Freshly made, never had any issues. Our fries were always crisp and hot, not dried out. Burgers are always made to order and the patties are hand made and pressed. Super thin patties with crispy, buttery edges. Yummy! The softdrinks are well balanced. My kids love getting cherry coke because it's made fountain style with maraschino cherries. We feel like family and really enjoy the food. What's not to love? We will continue to visit as long as they are in business!“
“Absolutely loved my first experience at Biggby coffee:) One tip would be to download the app so that you can access the "secret menu." Myself and 4 friends all got different drinks and each one of us loved them! Staff was kind, and drive thru with quick!“
“This was my first time at this location. This was next closest one from 74th and Cicero where I was shopping and 74th was out of lemonade for medicine ball. The batista wasn't busy and I received a perfect drink exactly how I wanted. This was hidden gem opposed to extremely busy one on 74th and Cicero.“
“I’m obsessed with this place! I love going in and how she always remembers me and remembers everything I said and asks me about how life’s going! We have such great talks and it really changes my week when I go in there. It makes me feel important knowing that the lady remembers me! Also you have to try their lavender vinilla coffee!! Love this place!“
“Ordered breakfast bagels ( both ham and sausage) they were delicious! Of course I grabbed a dozen bagels n cream cheese too ! Always tasty & fresh .Parking: Not a lot of parking cuz it’s in a gas station , the bagels & food are worth it !“
“I’m not from this area, I actually live in NW Indiana but sometimes come out this way for work. This is by far the best DD I’ve been too, besides the location in Munster, IN. No matter how busy they are, the line always moves fast, my drinks are always made well, my food is always done fresh (I get the avocado toast) and the toast is crispy but not burnt. Anywhere else the avocado toast is usually soggy or cold. But not at this location. The employees are always so friendly and nice. Never had an issue ever. All I know is that the DD locations in NW Indiana need to take some lessons from the management/staff at the Alsip location because they’re doing something right. Wish I could get this type of service at the other locations. Good job! ?“
“I'm not one to always go to Starbucks but this one was a treat! Greeted as soon as I walked in with a smile and hello. The place was super chill vibe with a connecting bank, talk about lucky job at the bank. Everyone was polite and pleasant, not too many tables inside and a patio out back...“
“Afternoon shift made my drink amazing an I'm glad me babbling about the add ons she knew what I meant. Even though it wasn't on the board. I got a Chocolate covered Strawberry - Creme Frappuccino blended. It's the most delicious new thing I've tried this yr. Their cups are really cute but I don't think for my Health wise I should ever get cups that big? I didn't get a pic of it but they have alot of seating and if you want something more cozier they have a long bench booth thing behind the starbucks“
“Seriously cute little place. The ice cream from wall to wall. they have a great patio area they use when its nice outside. The owners are great people serving some delectable treats to the community. I couldn't resist the fruitas con chile (extra chile, por favor!). They also sell mini paletas which makes trying all of them affordable and they looks so darn cute!My son got a superman colored ice cream, don't know the actual flavors but that is because he devoured his ice cream without hesitation, its must have been delicious. They also serve non sweet things but my heart was set. They have little activities you can sit down and do with the fam while enjoying a treat as well.“
“Ice cream is fantastic. I love their Carmel pecan, and their lime and mango sorbets as well. Staff is very kind, I like how they let customers try the ice cream to their hearts content. When you're an ice cream perfectionist like me, knowing only the names isn't enough. This ice cream shop remains my absolute favorite of all times. Love the effort they put into the esthetic, all great things to say, though, a warning- they close at 9 not 10.“
“I totally accidentally ordered for the wrong location and they were able to help me figure it out and have it so they made my order for their location so I wouldn’t have to drive 20 minutes away and be late for work. I am so so so thankful they were so nice and helpful! Totally made my day and would recommend this place!!“
“Charming little ice cream place. Kids thought the ice cream was great, and there are non dairy options. One person in our group ordered coffee that was forgotten, and when she checked back with the cashier, the cashier asked to see a receipt for proof, I guess.“
