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“

They offer more than just donuts, including breakfast and lunch menu.

I highly recommend trying it out.“

Tasha and the rest of the staff were the highlight today and it is my favorite breakfast place right now! Cannot wait to go there again or at least order the food! Thank you Sweet Orange 🍊 🤘🏼“

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

“I literally had the best pancakes I’ve ever had“

“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.“

“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“

“Really great triple berry yogurt smoothie. The tapioca boba has cores that are firm so if you like having squishy on the outside and hard on the inside bobas this is the place to get yours. This drink was nutritious and healthy. I could tell this was made with fresh ingredients. Waffles are cute and warm, go really well with the drinks. The staff is kind and friendly. Atmosphere is a nice spot for hang out with friends and for a short date, I mean short because it’s not the most spacious place so you can hang out and then go out haha“

“Easily my new favorite bubble tea place. The milk taro is delicious, probably my favorite from any bubble tea place. All the drinks look very unique and creative. The employee working provided very sweet, friendly service and even made us two croffles on the house! I had never had one of these before, but after biting into it, I was amazed! It had me smiling and wanting to go back inside for 3 more! Probably like my favorite waffle I’ve ever eaten from anywhere.
I can’t wait to go back soon to order a few more croffles next time. Thank you!!“

“I was actually referred to Dave by another person in the industry. He said to me "Dave is great. Go to him." Boy was he ever! Brought my machine in on Tuesday and it was ready by Thursday. The price was fair and the machine works great. I was exhausted and asked if he could make me a cup of coffee and he even happily made me a double espresso to go. He is a sweet, humble, good man. The facility is quite impressive too. I'm a fan!...and I forgot to say...Cafe Carioca is some of the best tasting espresso around.“

“Stopped by Churro Parlor in Lakeview, and it did not disappoint! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm and inviting. Jennifer was absolutely amazing—she took the time to explain the menu, offered great recommendations, and made sure we had the best experience. The churros were fresh, perfectly crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. We tried a few different flavors, and each one was better than the last! The dipping sauces were the perfect complement. Whether you’re a churro lover or just looking for a sweet treat, this spot is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back! Virtual review : @iam.shonnaaaa“
