Look at these luscious layers of pastry hugging eggs and some crispy plancha sausage! Look at them! Few things are perfect or capable of changing your life. This sandwich and these brothers just might be the thing. 10/10 and I’ll definitely be back for more.“

“Deserves more than 5 stars! WONDERFUL experience each time I come here. Everything made from scratch. Not just pierogi ---Gelato, soups, empanadas, tamales, pizza pie (takes 50 mins to make from scratch and worth it!!) Premium Belgium chocolates, shakes, Coffee and most recent.....160 (yes one hundred and sixty) different premium teas from around the world!!.....and more to come! They also own the tea room and book store next to the cafe. Owners are THE BEST! Welcoming, personable and humorous. Dinning outside available and pups are welcome! You can tell they have a passion for the business. HIGHLY recommend! ENJOY!“

“Amazing vegan sandwiches, ice cream and service! 10/10“

“The owner is so welcoming, and let’s not even get started on the food! I had the chorizo and veggie skillet, and he was kind enough to let me try a bit of both. The coffee was amazing, too. My friend ordered the poblano crepe (of course I had to taste it), and that was absolutely delicious as well! Like he said, “when you go there, he wants it to be more than just good food …he wants it to be an experience”, and he truly delivers!“

“Can’t say enough great things about this place. The word that immediately leaps to mind when I think of it is…comfort. It’s a comfortable space with a very relaxing vibe. And old school coffee house vibe in many ways (and that’s a HUGE compliment in my book).“

“clean environment, friendly staff and AMAZING coffee ☕ 😋“

“Best food ♥️, I recommend the restaurant owner super nice“

“10 years, and I still love them. Everything is perfect at any location. Chicago’s premier roasters.“

“Excellent food and service. The breakfast sandwich was fantastic. The coffee was quite good. After seeing someone with the miso chocolate chip cookie, i decided to take one to go. It was one of the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had. I had sticker shock with the prices. After eating the food, I understand how much care went into everything.“

“Thank you, Backlot Coffee, for letting us use our personal cups again and helping to protect the environment.“

“10 years, and I still love them. Everything is perfect at any location. Chicago’s premier roasters.“

“Love their food and drinks“

“There’s ample indoor seating (high tops, low tops, couches), along with an outdoor patio, and even a conference room to work in. The staff is really attentive to detail when it comes to anticipating guests’ needs. They work with a sense of urgency too.“

“Best coffee shop I have found so far! Delicious matcha and pastries. The tea selection is also great.“

“Nice folks with delicious coffee! Heard about this spot on the radio, would highly recommend!“

“We stopped in today on a tip and what a delicious treat! Highly recommend!“

“Such a gem- seriously! Cute, charming and well crafted Columbian coffee. They roast in-house. It’s authentic. Such a positive vibe here. Owners are so nice. The staff is so chill and kind. Seriously though, it’s a good coffee spot without pretentiousness and ego. You know what I’m talking about?? You do 😉. You know exactly what I’m talking about. They have events and pop-ups on the regular and DJs on Sundays, like all the time. Give them a follow and get here. One of the best local roasters in Chicago. Period. Boom 💥 10/10 recommend.“

“Awesome coffee, great sandwiches, nice decor, great staff! They have it all!“

“Nice place for coffee and friends hangout!“

“10 years, and I still love them. Everything is perfect at any location. Chicago’s premier roasters.“

“Supoort this local business, owned and operated by local people! Excellent sub sandwiches — generous portions, fresh ingredients and very reasonable prices. The folks working there are warm and friendly. I've lived in the neighborhood for 6 years and there's really no place for sandwiches like it. You won't be disappointed.“

“Nice place, wonderful burger and good bar selection. Totally disagree with the credit card surcharge, though - no restaurant with $20 burgers should charge guests the comission!“

“I ordered them from uber eats for the and it was so good I needed to leave a review… what do you mean I can order GORMET chocolate covered strawberries to my door?? Their chocolate is out of this world. Juice mixes are refreshing. The croffle thing changed my life. Insanely fresh fruit.
I will probably order from this place weekly. And when I’m broke and fat, monthly (to feed Mother Nature) at the very least. Please never close“

“Love this coffee shop! Easily some of the best lattes and staff in Oak Park.“

“Best Coffee, Great Event, we love the spot!“

“A very cozy neighborhood spot that is always welcoming to each and every customer. The coffee is always hot (or cold 😉) and the food and pastries are delicious. It’s a small town vibe in a big city, and you’ll want to stay every time you stop in!“

“Every thing was amazing. But I have to talk about the the chocolate pecan pie. The pie’s flavors were so balanced and precise that it became an argument for the value of small, immediate experiences. We often think fulfillment must come from major achievements or profound discoveries, yet this dessert demonstrated that contentment can originate from something as ordinary as food prepared with intention. The heart is full.“

“For you folks who like specialty coffee / third wave coffee, Dayglow is a must-visit. They have a wide variety of different offerings on pour over (they call it “hand brew”), and they know how to treat these beans right, and serve coffee properly. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I would put this up against any café in Chicago for creativity and finesse.“

“My mother and I popped in here before work this morning, and we loved our lattes, pastry, and the service! I love the gothy-ness of the decor, the decent amount of seating, cool staff-made art for sale, and even the mildly lower lighting (in contrast to other coffee shops that feel retina-burningly bright). Very queer and alternative-friendly vibes, too.

Definitely stop by for a visit if you're in the area - I liked it a lot!“

“good service great breakfast for the price will return even though it is 1/2 from my house“

“Friendly and great drink options“

“I’ve been going to Addis for the past 7 years and rarely skip a day… What drew me in was the very best tasting pour over that I’ve ever had and what keeps me coming back is the family feeling: from the friendly crew behind the counter to the local residents who make Addis a must have part of their daily routine, this place is well worth a try. I guarantee that once you try Addis coffee, their amazing waffles, avocado toast, Ethiopian chechebsa, turmeric lattes etc… you will be hooked!“

“Nos encantó! Muy limpio y elegante, nos atendieron muy bien. La comida estaba muy rica!“

“I stopped by today and tried the Shortcake Latte—easily one of the best specialty drinks I’ve had in a while. It was super smooth, sweet in the right way, and really unique.

Rami took my order and was great the whole way through—friendly, fast, and made the drink perfectly. The place has a nice vibe too, so it’s definitely somewhere I’ll come back to.“

“Brewpoint is a gem in the Western suburbs of Chicago. I am entirely blessed to live blocks from their craft location on York. Exposed brick, chandeliers, and a plant wall surrounds you - a grateful reprieve from cookie cutter Starbucks decor. Coffee, matcha, and baked goods are top notch (haven't tried cocktails or charcuterie yet). A wonderful mix of professionals, college students, community organizers, and socially conscious suburban moms escaping the kids (I'm sure I'm missing wonderful others). Sometimes I'm not sure how I manage to keep living in the suburbs when the city is still home for me after 10 years in Elmhurst, but Brewpoint certainly makes it easier.“
