“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!“

“This is a fantastic place to get breakfast whenever you are heading to work on weekday rush hour!“

“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!“

“I just wanted to take a moment to say how much I appreciated the service at Conscious Cup this morning. I came in for my usual nitro cold brew, and the women working were incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely welcoming. Their energy set such a positive tone for the day — it’s the kind of warmth and attentiveness that makes a simple coffee run feel special.

Thank you for the great coffee and even better people behind the counter. You’ve definitely earned a loyal customer! ☕💛“

“Friendly service and great donuts!“

“Tru was my waitress and made sure that I knew every detail of the menu when I made a selection, she was very professional and knew what she was talking about. Any restaurant would be lucky to have her as an employee and hope they take that into consideration.“

“Samarkand Café is a charming, lantern-lit slice of Central Asia that easily earns a very strong four stars. The plov is deeply satisfying—fragrant rice, meltingly tender lamb, and those sweet raisins that make every forkful addictive—while the grilled kebabs deliver proper charcoal punch and the hand-pulled laghman noodles have exactly the right springy bite. Manti are plump and comforting, the tea ritual is lovely, and the warmly hospitable service makes you feel like a welcomed guest rather than a customer. It’s only held back from a full five by occasional inconsistency (one visit the meat was perfection, another slightly dry) and a dessert selection that feels a touch limited. Still, for authentic Uzbek soul food in an atmosphere that glows with genuine Central Asian spirit, Samarkand remains an absolute delight well worth repeat visits.“

“I absolutely love this place! I live in Highland Park, so I find myself visiting often, and each time is a great experience. The service is awesome, and the staff is kind. The only thing is that the music is too loud!!!“

“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.“

“Spunky donuts are tremendous. Old school vibe.“

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

“The first time I stopped by Long Grove Coffee Co., I wasn’t even there for coffee, I was checking out a nearby building! Mary (who I believe is the owner) was outside and immediately greeted me with the warmest smile. She went way above and beyond, sharing all about the magic and history of Long Grove, and even gave us a little tour! I left thinking, “We’re definitely coming back soon.”

Fast-forward a bit, my daughter and I returned on a chilly day for some cozy hot chocolate. Everyone had already ordered, so I let my 4-year-old place her own order. The person behind the counter was so kind, so patient, and made her feel so special.

Between Mary’s heart, the amazing atmosphere, and that sweet mix of coffee and candy shop vibes, this place is an absolute gem. I’m so grateful for this one-of-a-kind spot. Thank you, Long Grove Coffee Co.! ☕🍫✨“

“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.“

“every time I stop at this Scooters location, what I get with my order of coffee is smile, happiness and good vibes. I love this location and what happened yesterday was a cherry on a cake. I did my order on the app, I ordered coffee which wasn't available anymore, I didn't notice time frames and the app allowed me to buy this drink, when I got to pick up window, the girl which works there, very friendly and wonderful young woman apologized so much explaining that they don't have this coffee at that time no more and gave me 3 donuts for that. Every time my experience with Scooters is great! Love it!“

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

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

“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 🙏🏻“

“The food was delicious! There were so many options and the customer service was amazing! The worker showed us how to use the machine and was patient throughout the way. I definitely recommend the boba and the croffles. I would come back 100%“

“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“

“We love Eli’s Cheesecake in Chicago and have been coming every year ( at least 10 years as of now) to pick up cheesecakes for the holidays. We usually buy 20+ cheesecakes for our friends and neighbors, and the service is always wonderful. Rosa, the store manager, was always especially kind and helpful during our visits. So and Bryan and the rest of the team this past holiday were friendly and helpful too.
Highly recommend! We will be back soon!“

“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!“

“Excellent under this new management“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!!“

“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.“

“excellent service everyone was friendly and the food was amazing.“

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

“If you’re looking for the ultimate aesthetic spot, Haraz Coffee House is it! The ambiance is unmatched—cozy, sophisticated, and perfect for catching up with friends or getting some work done.

Haraz Cafe is easily one of the most beautiful coffee shops in town. The interior design and lighting create such a warm, inviting atmosphere. 📸

The drinks are just as pretty as the decor! The Pink Coconut Refresher is stunning (and tastes like a vacation), and the Hot Chocolate is velvety smooth and decadent. Whether you’re here for the aesthetics or the flavors, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend!

We tried the Hot Chocolate, and it was incredibly rich and scrumptious—literally a hug in a mug. For something cooler, the Pink Coconut Refresher is a total game-changer; it’s light, tropical, and so refreshing. This place is a 10/10 for both the vibes and the menu!“

“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.“

“Visited this Starbucks location in the morning and had a great experience. The atmosphere was so relaxing and welcoming, and the workers were all very friendly. Marc even offered us a sample of the crisp bread with ham and cheese that he made. Absolutely delicious! Great service and great vibes. Definitely be coming back.“

“Stopped in for the first time and will be back again and again! My kids devoured their donuts!! Can’t wait to come back for lunch too! Customer service was amazing too, so friendly and helpful!!“
