50 Best Cafes near Park Ridge

“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“

“Update.... was able to speak to a manger & they mad3 it more than right, I will still check my order, but I have no issues reccomending this place. It is convenient for pts, family & staff alike!

“We stopped in today on a tip and what a delicious treat! Highly recommend!“

See you again soon, Lardon!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re looking for a little slice of New Orleans, Junebug Cafe is the place to be! From the moment you walk in, the aroma of rich, smooth coffee fills the air, and the first bite of their Louisiana hand pies or fluffy, powdered-sugar-dusted beignets will transport you straight to the French Quarter. The flavors are authentic, the atmosphere is warm, and every sip and bite feels like a celebration. Don’t miss out on this hidden gem—your taste buds will thank you! ☕✨ Start your morning with a little taste of New Orleans right here at Junebug Cafe! #JunebugCafe #TasteOfNOLA #BeignetsAndCoffee #CafeVibes“

“Amazing food. Staff was great and the owner likes Kola Champagne lol so he stocks it. Perfect way to celebrate my kids' graduations. Hopefully I can host a Cars and Coffee there. Best of luck, we will spread the word.“

“Our coffee and Matcha Latte Float was very delicious. The service was SUPERB..We will be coming back☺️☺️“

“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."“

“I was over around this place because of work saw a line around the corner knew I had to try it eventually made my way back. Couldn’t be happier that I did oh my goodness this place is absolutely freaking incredible!!! completely fresh local ingredients, pastries, absolutely incredible sandwiches, homemade soda pops. 🤯🔥🔥🔥 a definite must try!!!! I cannot wait to go back very soon!!!“

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

“4LW is one of the best cafes in the city for a picky coffee lover. They also have plenty of things to offer the casual coffee consumer. The baristas always stay calm under pressure which makes the experience really pleasant.

The only criticism I have is that some of their signatures are way too sweet. The Ube and Pandan Vanilla syrups, while delicious, have some of their notes drowned out by sweetness. I wish there was a half sweet option for these flavors.“

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

“What a super store for food, magazines, music and especially lefty books!“

“Brewpoint is a gem in the Western suburbs of Chicago. I am entirely blessed to live blocks from their craft location on York. Exposed brick, chandeliers, and a plant wall surrounds you - a grateful reprieve from cookie cutter Starbucks decor. Coffee, matcha, and baked goods are top notch (haven't tried cocktails or charcuterie yet). A wonderful mix of professionals, college students, community organizers, and socially conscious suburban moms escaping the kids (I'm sure I'm missing wonderful others). Sometimes I'm not sure how I manage to keep living in the suburbs when the city is still home for me after 10 years in Elmhurst, but Brewpoint certainly makes it easier.“

“Cute little coffee shop. Excellent cannolis. Very friendly service.“

“What an awesome addition to the North Side! Beautiful place to have breakfast, delicious eggs with crème fraiche, chives, parmesan fluff, griddled country bread, we got our son the grilled cheese & I ate most of it. Great ambience, it has a very open feel. We would def come back, thank you 🙏“

“I’ve been to this cafe several times, I really liked it, it’s a good place, the food is halal, delicious!))))

Parking: The parking lot is large and free, even trucks can park.

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

“Lovely, colorful cafe! Hot chocolate and muffin were delicious and very affordable. There are neighborhood flyers and unique goods for sale. It feels like you’re part of the neighborhood while you’re there. Very welcoming staff. There was someone studying while I was there; great spot for getting work done or catching up with friends. Even got a cute note on my drink sleeve! Will definitely be recommending and returning.“

“Deserves more than 5 stars! WONDERFUL experience each time I come here. Everything made from scratch. Not just pierogi ---Gelato, soups, empanadas, tamales, pizza pie (takes 50 mins to make from scratch and worth it!!) Premium Belgium chocolates, shakes, Coffee and most recent.....160 (yes one hundred and sixty) different premium teas from around the world!!.....and more to come! They also own the tea room and book store next to the cafe. Owners are THE BEST! Welcoming, personable and humorous. Dinning outside available and pups are welcome! You can tell they have a passion for the business. HIGHLY recommend! ENJOY!“

“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!“

“Best pie I have had in Chicago“

“Great chicken mole empanadas, just was in Mexico, so their cafe con leche came in a distant 4th to what I had in Mexico.“

“Khepri duo Salad was delicious“

“my son and I just recently discovered this place in our neighborhood thru Groupon, we love it. my son enjoys it while I can relax and enjoy some ME time.“

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

“Clean establishment, good food can't ask for anything more!!! Quick and great service“

“Who ever thought I would buy pies for the crust? Their crusts are so buttery and flaky. Yum! But then, there is all the wonderful flavor you fill them with as well... Absolutely amazing! Better than homemade and so, so much better than store-bought or big chain bakeries. It has been fun trying the seasonal varieties, and I have yet to find one of their pies I don't like.“

“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 ?“

“This place is so adorable and everything is fresh. We got watermelon, kiwi, and lemon which were all Delicious especially the watermelon. We also got the churro cheesecake bites that were to die for! The woman was so sweet to give us a sample of some tomato soup, as well. Will definitely be a new regular!“

“Very nice restaurant and delicious food For the first time there i am very thankful to our server Dilnaz and specially the girl Sky who explained and recommended what should I try and make sure everything was OK Thank you Thank you“

I wish there wad a location nearer to me! I will return soon.“

“Absolutely love this place. A hidden gem in Des Plaines! Our first time trying Cuban food so we asked for recommendations from our amiable server, Natalie. She deserves a raise. Everything was delicious from the appetizer to the desserts and beverage. Just try everything they offer, guaranteed good. Service and ambiance is very nice. Will be back for sure!“

“Had the spicy chicken sandwich it was a hit services was good and pleasant environment owner very down to earth and is a veteran 💯“

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

“The pastries are very delicious! I have a variety of them. They are some of the best I have had in unexpected combinations. The latte I had was floral and balanced. It was a Lavender Latte. If you love coffee and pastries, you do not want to miss out on this experience. Cafe Calida has a selection that is full of flavor that is truly sure to delight. Visit them today to see for yourself. Check their hours of operation.“

“This coffee shop/bakery in Chicago is my now my personal standard by which all other coffee shops are judged. Awesome drinks, considerate/kind service, really cozy but open atmosphere.

Olivia made my soy extra hot latte for me this afternoon and it was delicious! Exactly the perk-up that I needed. ✨“
