“Croissant 🥐 toasted with strawberry cream cheese yummy with coffee“

“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!“

“Delicious, fresh, healthy smoothies on a hot day were absolutely perfect. William made our daughter a minion milkshake (and secretly made it healthy without her knowing, which was perfect for our very picky eater), and our son enjoyed a taro boba tea with popping mango boba. Such a great find, and fabulous owner!“

“This is a cozy place with a warm atmosphere and friendly people! Love the avocado toast and hummus sandwich and that they have vegan and vegetarian options!“

“I love this place they are so sweet and always are on point with my order. Their hot chocolate is rich and smooth and my partner loves their Nutella latte!!! Definitely worth the money and the stop.“

“October Cafe is by far the best coffee shop around Chicagoland…. If you have not tried it you are missing out. The coffee flights change and always come with a wonderful theme. The owners are friendly wonderful strong women who show so much compassion for the community. I am blessed to have found this cafe, as a place that is relaxing and cozy and feels like home. The baristas ring a bell and announce your flight and bring you your meal and drinks if you dine in. So wonderful! Thank you October Cafe for making a place for fundraising, local artists, crafters and other entrepreneurs to sell their items. 10 out of 10 stars across the board. ⭐️ 🎃 Pumpkins you won’t be disappointed trust me!“

“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!“

“The best coffee shop in Highland Park/Deerfield area! Best customer service and perfect atmosphere for work meeting, reading a book or grabbing coffee with a friend!“

“If you’re looking for a local spot that truly goes above and beyond, I can’t recommend Glenview Grind enough. We’ve used them for teacher gift cards every year, and it’s become one of our favorite traditions—such an easy and appreciated gift. This year, we also had them cater breakfast for Teacher Appreciation Week, and they absolutely exceeded expectations. The entire process—from ordering to pickup—was seamless. Their team was incredibly organized, friendly, and genuinely helpful every step of the way. They even assisted with loading everything up, which made a huge difference during a busy morning. The food was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented, and the customer service truly stood out. You can tell they care about their customers and take pride in what they do. Highly, highly recommend supporting this wonderful local business“

“The owner is so nice and knowledgeable. This is our goto spot for coffee, beans in the burbs. Very recommended“

“Had a great experience with my husband. It is a charming tea shop where the owners are so welcoming and often checking in on guests. Our hostess made tea recommendations for our afternoon tea and no drop was left in our teapots! Which speaks volumes because my husband is not a tea lover at all. Thank you Tealula!“

“Pretty decent vibes, they have a small library section for books to take one and leave one.. Spoke to the employee and she said I can drop as many books I want (as I had box full). Also had boxes of games :)
Ordered a the banana bread latte but haven't tried of anything else. The latte was alright.“

“We went straight here when we got off our flight from Ohare and do not regret it! They were so nice! The owners greeted us and the staff were so friendly. The cheesecake was the best cheesecake I’ve had! Can’t wait to go back or at least order some online! 10/10 recommend!“

“アイスコーヒーとバブルワッフルで午後のひと時を楽しめます。“

“We had a wonderful experience at Cafe 44! We tried the iced latte, matcha latte, cappuccino, Americano, and the Dubai chocolate, and every single item was outstanding. The coffee was rich, fresh, and perfectly crafted, while the matcha was smooth and flavorful. The Dubai chocolate was absolutely delicious and the perfect sweet treat to go with our drinks.

The atmosphere was cozy, clean, and inviting, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. If you’re looking for a great coffee shop in Chicago with excellent drinks and quality desserts, Cafe 44 is definitely worth a visit. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Long Grove Coffee Company is a fantastic place to relax and enjoy an excellent cup of coffee. The coffee is consistently delicious, fresh, and expertly prepared, making it a great stop whether you're starting your day or taking a break.

The staff is genuinely friendly and welcoming, creating an inviting atmosphere from the moment you walk in. One of my favorite aspects is the comfortable seating, both inside and outside, which makes it easy to slow down, catch up with friends, get some work done, or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Located in the heart of charming downtown Long Grove, it's the perfect place to unwind before or after exploring the shops. Great coffee, outstanding service, and a warm, relaxing atmosphere make Long Grove Coffee Company an easy five-star recommendation.“

“My favorite coffee shop! High quality coffee. What makes it taste even better is the quality of the staff. Such kind and thoughtful people.

I come here as much to be lifted up by them as the caffeine! Tess, Steph, Jill, Ashley, Sofia, and Erin are all awesome!!“

“I’ve been coming here a while since they opened. It’s great to have this location in downtown Mount Prospect.
I live within walking distance, live right across from the library.
As always, the owners as you can see the gentleman in the pictures always smiling happy that we are all enjoying his restaurant.

The husband and wife team are amazing people there they have a great display of machines, snacks, Ramen, and the best fun drinks.

Today I went by because I was on a huge DoorDash order. It’s great to be able to come here as a customer and as a delivery driver.

So many drinks I took to a companies office.

It’s so great that the owners has the order ready for me as I arrived and can do very large orders.

I know my customers are happy. I’ve seen people sitting there with a smile and I’m so glad they are here with us in downtown Mount Prospect.

We’ve had our place since 2016 and I’ve seen many buildings and businesses come into our area.

Well, I’m happy. The owners are here with us. I hope they stay with us for a long time. Have a great day and enjoy your bubbles.🫧🥤“

“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!!“

The beverages are always of my preference, when I requested a non-sweet beverage a while ago, I was provided with the most suitable beverage from a gracious lady with glasses and brown hair. The entire staff has been extremely helpful, as well as courteous in answering every question. I will always recommend them!“

“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!“
