“This place is a gem! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by how kind and knowledgeable the staff was. The girl who helped me was so sweet, super patient, and explained everything perfectly. You can really tell they care about the customer experience and make sure you feel comfortable and taken care of. Now let’s talk about the lemonades—WOW. Infused and delicious, it was honestly one of the best lemonades I’ve ever had. And the baked goods? Incredible. Soft, flavorful, and just the right amount of kick. Everything I tried was amazing, and I can’t wait to go back and try more. I seriously love, love, love this place. The staff, the products, the vibe—Blazed Bakery is on point. Thank you for such an awesome experience!“

“We read about Joe Doughnut Itasca and thought we would give it a try…pulled up to a Shell gas station?!? Wow we were pleasantly surprised. Can’t begin to say enough good things about this place…not gas station food, custom fresh made to your liking off their full menu. Doughnuts were great, flapjacks were outstanding. Great variety of coffee products - regular, cold brew, lattes etc. The staff were warm and friendly, making you feel at home and explaining the menu to you. Met the co-owner, wonderful lady with passion for this place. Can’t believe it has been open for over 2 years. Great kept little secret. Will be back to try more of the menu!“

“What an adorable place!!! Eclectic , cozy look and vibe, they have pour over coffee which is what i chose, soooo good and really unique latte concoctions I have not seen anywhere else. There is a covered outdoor patio, with rocking chairs, a few chairs in front porch, ofcourse interior seating. Some standard tables and chairs but also couches and benches. The parking in back is tight. I recommend checking this place out if you want a different vibe than the usual Cafe.“

“Delightful Barrista & Cafe! Delicious lattes, coffee, tea & coffee drinks, as well as a nice selection of food options.This place has a great vibe. Plenty of seating, and the staff is very warm & welcoming.“

“So good any time of day. Love this place“

“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.“

“Super place for entertainment , excellent food🍇 and drinks 🍹. I Strongly recommend 👍👍👍“

“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.“

“My sister introduced me to this wonderful tea shop and I cannot recommend them enough. Their Earl Grey de la Crème blend changed my perception of the Leafy Noble and many of their other teas are just as scrumptious. Even non tea lovers can find something they like since the staff is incredibly knowledgeable and will find something for even the pickiest palate. If you are in the area, skip the Starbucks and venture here. It will be well worth your while.“

“We were at the Bakester today and they were understaffed. Iliya was there working as hard as he could and was doing a great job. Through no fault of his own and under great pressure, he tried to get the job done to keep the restaurant moving. The food was great.“

“Their horchata boba is very flavorful! They also provide board games to play while enjoying their tasty treats, adding to the cozy atmosphere :)“

“Chicken and Waffles!!!! Now that there’s a loyalty program I’m going to bring more friends there.“

“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“

“Our favorite thing about Straw and Bubbles has to be their croffles, they’re absolutely delicious! We’ve tried all the flavors, and honestly, it’s hard to even pick a favorite because they’re all so good.

It’s a great spot to grab something sweet and quick. The vibe is casual and fun, perfect for a little treat. We also love that they have a ramen wall for self-service, which is such a unique touch!

They also offer a nice variety of bubble teas and coffees to pair with your croffle or ramen. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for tasty desserts and drinks in a relaxed setting. 🧇🧋🍜“

“Super cool atmosphere, very friendly and inviting. The tea 🍵 I had was phenomenal. I can't wait to start training with the coaches. Thank you Mount Prospect Illinois for Bringing something so Refreshing to our Community 🙏🏻“

“I was just passing through on a solo trip and saw how cute this shop looked on the outside and decided to duck in! Super cute and cozy atmosphere for being a smaller shop, featuring super cute croissant waffles and the best peach oolong tea I've encountered. And I've tried A LOT of Bubble Tea places. I'll keep this place on my radar when I come back!!“

“I loved my visit to Tous Les Jours Bakery Café! The pastries were fresh, soft, and not overly sweet — just perfect. They have a great selection of cakes, breads, and drinks, and everything looks beautiful and tastes amazing. The café is clean, cozy, and very welcoming. The staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely a great place to stop by for coffee, a treat, or to pick up something delicious to take home. Highly recommend!“

“Never disappointed. Terrific people.“

“Today was my first time going there. Doughnuts were absolutely fresh! Will be back! Thanks!“

“When you wake up, are your first thoughts about that double espresso to start your day? Do you make that espresso with the care that delivers the best shot you can, with whatever machine you have, and the best beans you can find. If you're that person, get over to the Expresso Shoppe on York Road in Bensonville, meet Dave and try his shop roasted Carioca beans, the best I've ever had. Hang out with people who really know and repair machines and share that passion (okay, obsession) for espresso. It's just west of O'Hare, and worth the trip.“

“Thank you, Joon for the delicious boba teas 🧋 and smoothies! They were a hit! 18 drinks to celebrate our daughter’s birthday! My personal fave is milk tea with easy tapioca. We absolutely love this place and definitely will return!“

“Great food and inviting atmosphere. Staff is friendly, very helpful and accommodating. Now until August 20th. 1/2 priced breakfast and lunch. Hours 8-3 everyday of the week.“

“The Best food in Chicago,delicious food,good prices,and the nicest owner in the world,Franco“

“This place is absolutely adorable and cozy! Food was just perfect, had smoked salmon benedict and it was the best breakfast I’ve ever had!!! 10/10“

“A hidden gem, hole in the wall, donut shop… Nostalgic, because this place definitely used to be a Dunkin’, and maintains the 90’s Dunkin’ vibe like a time capsule. However, their donuts are better. In my experience, they’ve never been stale. Always delicately fried and perfectly sweet. Mexican foodies can also find pan dulce.“

“Was at Port Clinton Art Fair, had just gotten Italian ice, and saw these beautiful croissants out of the corner of my eye. I quickly did an about face. The Crème Brûlée croissant 🔥🔥and the Almond Croissant 🥇if you guys already do a Koigin Aman, I need to try it, if you don,t, you should!,Your laminated dough is wonderful & buttery, top notch.“

“Update 05/18/2023 - stellar service! I’m partially disabled. The app was being stupid and would not let me place my order, so I called inside. The lady at the counter took my order, came outside for my card, brought out my food. This is what I call service. Thank you for your personal touch. I APPRECIATE YOU!!!“

“Outside seating! We visit multiple days a week for breakfast for the great service, including an amazingly fast kitchen. Their potatoes are the best around--tender inside and crispy outside. One of our favs is the Country Fried Steak. Try the biscuits and gravy too!!!

Kid-friendliness: Always great to our kids!“

“WOW WOW WOW !!! AMAZING cookies and so beautiful too“

“Triple Scoopd is our go to ice cream shop in Park Ridge. Not only is the ice cream delicious but the shop is so cute and the staff goes above and beyond. Best ice cream shop in Park Ridge by FAR!!!“
