“There is such a chill vibe and multiple spaces to enjoy outdoor RN there's even a doggy parking lot. I love the family nature of this business and it is a black owned family owned business with top quality service and fresh ingredients. I just wish they stayed open longer so I can spend more money with them.“
“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!“
“Hopefully the franchise owner can see this.Both times- it has gotten completely packed Mashallah.I’ve always been someone to go to Starbucks ( prior to boycotting ) and other Americanized coffee shops and specifically enjoying the aroma and level of QUIETNESS or should I say INSIDE VOICES while working on some things on my laptop.But that’s just NOT the case at these places- and I’m not the only one sitting with my laptop doing work!!Why does the fellow brothers and sisters gather at coffee shops like it’s a family reunion and get so loud? I thought it was so rude seeing people freely put tables together to fit their party of 10 and stay there for hours while other individuals or couples can’t even pop a squat.I know many will probably tell me to go to the library or stay home if I want quietness and I think after these experiences I might just do that!It would be nice to enforce some kind of mutual respect for others or for coffee shop owners to create a quiet space for those that way to work on their work quietly while enjoying the environment ?I don’t have the desire to be a business owner but someone please take my idea and do it. LolOverall 5 stars for food / drinks and service but atmosphere needs to improve or else just be a restaurant, not a coffee shop.Rant over.“
““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!”“
“I walked in to try the food and accidentally came on karaoke night and had a blast. Everyone from the owner down to the cook made me feel right at home. I will definitely be back for more. The fried peanut butter and jelly sandwich was excellent along with the chai tea.“
“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!“
“Shay was fantastic at explaining things. It was my boyfriend and my first time visiting and she took the time to explain each and every thing and answer all our questions. Went above and beyond with a smile the entire time. Highly recommend?“
“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“
“Absolutely amazing!!!! I was suffering from a hangover earlier that morning, and a friend suggested I order a Specialty drink called the “ Hangover “……AND IT WORKED, I started to feel better INSTANTLY.The whole staff looked fit and healthy which led me to inquire about the nutrition aspect of the shop. They were all so friendly and knowledgeable about the benefits of the products sold, and how to lose weight!! I will be returning!“
“I never leave reviews, but this is one of the best meals I've had in months and it's in a freaking oasis. The Baltic Sea Crepe. Fresh, delicious, packed with veggies and smoked salmon, great price! Ready in 2 minutes! What a find.“
“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.“
“I love this restaurant! Very cute spot for brunch or even lunch. The omelette I had was so good, the pancakes are delicious & the drinks are too. I ordered the horchata latte and it came looking so aesthetically pleasing & super yummy too. The food presentation is definitely instagram worthy :) It’s clean, very nicely decorated and the waitress was super sweet too! Def recommend.“
“I wouldn’t go out of my way again to patronize person behind the counter today not friendly today which ok is fine but myself and my friend had to both ask a few times for napkins and stirrers. I asked she didn’t give them, waited on someone else and then to back on her phone. My friend asked similar reaction but at least she finally gave to her so we shared the stirrer lol“
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.“
“In terms of service and atmosphere, it is a greatI have essentially tried their entire menu.their breakfasts and espresso drinks are delicious! I think they have a solid menu in that department. I don't like their lunches as much -- but that's just me. Everything else lovvve“
“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.“
“De Mar's in Blue Island, IL is a must-visit for anyone in the mood for classic American diner fare. The restaurant has a cozy, old-school feel that instantly transports you to a simpler time. Every time I sit down in a booth it makes me feel like i can talk about nothing, (a Seinfeld reference). The menu is full of classic diner dishes, from hearty breakfast options to juicy burgers and sandwiches to homemade soups and salads. I particularly enjoyed the Tuna melt, which was perfectly put together with just the right amount of cheese and tune on white bread. The French toast was also excellent, with a soft and fluffy texture that melted in my mouth. But if you want the traditional, just order the all American breakfast, 2 sunny side up eggs with hash browns and two slices of bread, along with a cup of coffee. Everything is delicious. The staff at De Mar's are friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. They were quick to offer suggestions on what to order and were always on hand to refill drinks or answer any questions. The restaurant itself is clean and well-maintained, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you want to stay for hours. There is plenty of seating, so you won't have to wait long to be seated, and the prices are reasonable for the quality of the food and service. Overall, I highly recommend De Mar's to anyone looking for a traditional American diner experience. So if you are in the area of Blue Island this restaurant It's a gem, that I plan on returning to in the future.“
“This place is worth the stop! Whether you are visiting Pullman National Historical Park, in the area, or driving nearby, this is the place to stop for a coffee break. Great coffee, teas and other drinks, as well as bakery treats like muffins and donuts. But the atmosphere really seals the deal. The shop is in a restored Pullman executive home, right across from the NPS site, with cozy common seating areas, lots of books to peruse, and historic artifacts from the historic district. The shop raises money for the Pullman House Project, a non-profit in the same building that provides guided tours of period Pullman homes. Between the NPS location, the Pullman House Project tour and then a coffee after, it's a great afternoon plan!“
“This cute coffee shop sits inside an easy to find cafe with a decent amount of parking. They’ve got a creative specialty menu along with the traditional menu you’d expect from a coffee shop. We ordered seamlessly online and picked up a hot Bananas Foster latte, an iced The Bourbon latte, and lightly spiced Cold Brew. The Bananas Foster was absolutely delicious with just the right amount of banana flavor and spice. The Bourbon’s buttery caramel notes were perfection. The Cold Brew was one of the best I’ve ever had. Easy to sip or guzzle, the dark roast cold brew was refreshing and so smooth. Excellent coffee, friendly service, a cool atmosphere, and the heart-shaped straws made for a memorable experience.“
“So before i called, i called to make sure there wasn’t a wait. I’ve been here before and the line is usually out the door. Once she told me no wait I got supper excited and came. Once i got here i literally had to wait an hour just to be seated. Then another hour for food. Something needs to change with the way they have guest waiting!“
“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.“
“Okay if this want located in the same building with a barbecue place and a sandwich shop (meaning NO PARKING), in a spot surrounded by crime, I'd put it right up there with the best good old fashioned donut shops. The donuts are fresh and delicious. The lack of parking is a serious drawback, and I'm not walking very far to get donuts on that high crime corner. A security detail in the parking exceedingly small parking lot would go along way to securing a five star rating.“
“My first time here & I thought it was very good, good selections, I got a 4 cheese, a BBQ pork (which was my favorite) Ham & Cheese was also very good. Service was quick, prices we good as well, large selection of canned & bottled drinks. Very limited seating, 1 table & small counter looking out the window with 6 stools. Lots of folks getting take out.“
“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.“
“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.“
“My son and i just left and the CUSTOMER SERVICE ?? THE FOOD OMGGG 5⭐️….. The owner and his daughter are AMAZING The whole Crew was WONDERFUL!!….. WE WILL BE BACK AND I RECOMMEND ALL TO ATLEAST TRY EM ONCE CAUSE YOU WILL BE GOING BACK! Oh it was sooo good i forgot to take before and after “
“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“
“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“
“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 found out about this place a year ago and I love it!!! They have so many different smoothies and other protein drinks that you can get they are so good! Love there acai bowls! 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 ?“
“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!“
“Chef Sara's feels like my grandma's house. You're received with a warm welcome and fresh food. The coffee is always strong and the food is consistently delicious. Plus, it feels like everyone that works and eats here already knows each other and once you step in, they just take you right in with the most delicious waffles and pancakes you'll ever have. You can tell chef Sara's throws love into every recipe, and you deserve some of that love.“
“Dat Hoagie Shoppe is a hidden culinary gem that deserves the spotlight! From the very first bite, it's evident that they take their hoagies seriously. The meat is cooked to perfection, ensuring every mouthful is a flavor explosion without being overly saucy or mushy. Each ingredient is thoughtfully layered, creating a symphony of taste and texture in every bite.But it's not just about the hoagies—the fries are a standout too! While they could be a tad thinner for my liking, their flavor and crispiness are undeniable. It's clear that Dat Hoagie Shoppe pays attention to every detail, ensuring a memorable dining experience.If you're a hoagie enthusiast or just looking for a delicious meal, Dat Hoagie Shoppe is a must-visit. I can't wait to go back and explore more of their menu—it's a hoagie lover's paradise!“

“This place is a hidden gem. My husband and I love this coffee shop. It's in the heart of downtown Homewood right by the Metra. The owner is very nice, and her shop is so cozy with lots of small business made products to choose from while you wait on your coffee to be made.“
“Always a good choice for family or friends to meet and eat. Our server, Angie was attentive and friendly.Vegetarian options: There were enough Vegetarian options available to not have to just "settle" for something.Kid-friendliness: I saw a lot of little ones...they seemed to enjoy what they were eating.“
“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 would like to give credit to Nicole in the drive thru for always getting my order right and having excellent customer service. After working 13 hrs I always stop at McDonald's on my way home from work it's always super late but Nicole is always super polite and efficient.“
“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“

“Big shout out to the owner especially today. Every crew member didn't show up and yet this man remained not only professional and stuck to his guns taking care of every customer he could. This Dunkin Donuts will continue to get my business. I'd give 10 stars if i could.“
“Fun fact: This place used to be a Checker’s. That’s why they have that weird double drive thru lane that is blocked off.Parking lot is dirty and full of garbage. They have but a single table inside. They need a good architect to fix this place.The employees are either very friendly or entirely dismissive. It depends on who’s working.The coffee is great.When the employees are friendly I typically tip via the mobile app.“
“Everything is excellent ? except for them bums outside harassing old ladies and little girls for money ? it's two white guys in their late 40s early 50s every morning it's the same not nice way of starting your day if u ask me they don't want coffee ☕️o???they prefer cash pa comprar la piedrita yo he visto a una doña y su señor dandole ocho dolares se metio poquito y se salio corriendo ala gas station de enfrente por atras...no like esos sinvergüenzas?“
