Cafes near Prospect Heights

“I've been going to this location since it opened. I was very disappointed to find out that 2 of my favorite people are not going to be there. To say that the place was not clean and the customer service is poor is like saying the Pope is Jewish. Whomever made this decision made a very poor decision. Trish has a wonderful personalty and is very attentive. When it comes to doing her job there is no one better. Scott is very intuned with what's going on and is the perfect choice for someone to run that place. The person who made that horrible review was not a nice person. She would literally ignore me when I would go in there. I stopped going when she was there because she was a mean and petty person. She drove away business. I really will have to think whether I want to frequent your stores anymore. It's the people that are there that make me want to go there.“

“So so yummy, fresh & delicious food. Staff is super sweet and price is right! Def recommend💯“

“Crepes were delicious 👍“

“DELICIOUS! We were staying at the Renaissance hotel for the Pinball Expo. We came for breakfast and lunch. Everything was very delicious and portions were good for the price. If I lived in Schaumburg, I would be eating there every week. Wait staff was attentive always checking in on us.“

“First time here and love it! I used to live in Arlington Heights and was driving by for an appointment. There used to be a Starbucks. I got the gingerbread latte and the papa Nicholas sandwich. Yum 😋 Such a great cause for the community as well. 😃“

“Absolutely delightful atmosphere and I loved my latte!“

“I recently visited a charming Nelikona coffee place in downtown Palatine. The rose 🌹 coffee was delicious. I loved that it was served in gorgeous tea cups, adding a unique touch to the experience. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for gatherings or meetings. The staff were incredibly friendly, which enhanced the welcoming vibe. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great coffee experience—I’ll definitely be back! 🌹🌹“

“There’s a certain quiet magic in Tala Coffee, Highwood. The flavor here isn’t just good — it has depth, like a story unfolding with every sip. You can taste the attention, the patience, the care.

The space is soaked in soft, voluminous light that feels almost three-dimensional — it moves through the café like air, shaping shadows, warming wood, making everything glow just a little more than you’d expect.

And the atmosphere… calm but alive. Like a Sunday morning that forgot to end. A place where time slows down just enough to let you notice it.

Highly recommended — not just for coffee, but for the feeling it leaves behind.“

“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.“

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

“I’ve been a proud customer of Al Mary Cafe since day one. I’ve probably tried everything on the menu, and it all tastes amazing! Everything is fresh every day, and the variety is fantastic — you can find anything you want, from soups to desserts. My forever favorites are the manty and the chicken samsy! I highly recommend this family-owned, customer-oriented place.“

“the food is one of a kind I love this place so much can't wait to go back and have their chicken pesto pannini“

“This place is wonderful! It’s brand new and fun for hours! The 3 and under area is a great addition for the younger ones. The decor is pleasing to the eye and not decorated in bright harsh colors like most kids places! There’s plenty of seating options for adults too. The cafe has a lot of options as well. Re-entry is allowed so it was perfect to go take a little break and come back later. I highly recommend it!“

“I would say that coming here is a good spot to get boba. It’s nice to enjoy it whenever you got a chance to get it. My go to would always be getting the chocolate oreo mocha with brown crystal boba. The girls at the counter are always working hard and I appreciate their effort to make my drink worth coming back for.“

“Simply the best cheesecake in the Chicagoland area! Always delicious, always fresh upon thawing, always our family’s favorite. Chocolate chip is especially outstanding and we love the key lime too. A lotta love in those slices! Can’t imagine going anywhere else.“

“I always order the strawberry cheesecake crepes and they are amazing. The restaurant is cozy and has an upscale feel yet is also family friendly. The staff are attentive and friendly. They also have really good lunch items like paninis and wraps. Never been disappointed here. Good portions of great food at a very reasonable price! Been coming here for years although i believe ownership may have changed once or twice over the last 20 years. Everyone I know loves Dinos. It's THE brunch spot. Besides brunch cafe, that is. lol.“

The food is absolutely delicious, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. The Million Dollar Bacon is incredible—perfectly cooked and so flavorful. I can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu!“

Bathrooms are clean.“

“Lunch at Panera today!
I ordered the pick 2. My choice was the half a Greek salad and half of the garden Caprese melt sandwich. The Caprese melt was outstanding. It had basil, fresh mozzarella, tomato, arugula, shredded Parmesan and a green goddess dressing
On top of it. There was no skimping on this sandwich. From size and the ingredients.
It was delicious. I have yet to try the Greek salad. I’m saving that for dinner tonight. The half size Caprese Melt was more than enough to have for lunch. I ordered on the Panera app. Fast pickup!
I was in and out everyone very friendly there. a great choice for lunch. Can’t wait to try that Greek salad tonight. Here’s the real question would I go back? Most definitely!“

“Great food, comfortable atmosphere, wonderful staff and an incredible chef! Have eaten breakfast, lunch and dinner many times here and I’ve never had a bad meal! I recently hosted a dinner for a baby shower for my daughter in their side room. Had 14 people with a catered menu of chicken limone, beef tenderloin, gnocchi, salad, roasted potatoes, and grilled vegetables for a very reasonable price. The food was delicious and the service was superb. This is the second dinner like this that I have done here and it was amazing! Thank you Ms. Medina, Jose , Dorita, and Chef Jose!“

“I tried Bettina's Tea Cold Brew at the Palos Heights Farmers' Market in 2022. Delicious and Refreshing. I was hooked. I had to replenish over the winter. I placed an order via her site. My order arrived in a timely manner and the product was fresh and included a sealed pouch ,so that I could store the opened loose leaf tea bag. Five 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟 from me.“
