“First time here and love it! I used to live in Arlington Heights and was driving by for an appointment. There used to be a Starbucks. I got the gingerbread latte and the papa Nicholas sandwich. Yum 😋 Such a great cause for the community as well. 😃“

“They have, without a doubt, the most amazing chicken and waffles I’ve ever had. Not only were they delicious, but they were delivered steaming hot, which is not what I’ve had in the past at other restaurants. To yourself a favor and order this. It is beyond wonderful! And the service could not have been better and more wonderful. This place is an absolute gem.“

“Best coffee around. The ladies who make the coffee are very nice and delightful 😊 Way better than dunkin and starbucks.“

“Anam Cara Cafe was the perfect location for our family reunion on Black Friday! We were able to reserve a private room, so the little ones had free range to run around and not bother other patrons and the adults could comfortably hear each other and catch up. The staff was so friendly and helpful throughout the entire process, from setting up the reservation to not rushing us out at the end of our gathering. They gave us great and attentive service without hovering and interrupting our conversations. Food was excellent and served promptly. Would definitely recommend! We're already talking about meeting there again when the Wisconsin and Chicago sides of the family meet up the next time.“

“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“

I stopped in for a simple black coffee once and it was great. It is very modern on the inside and the coffee is expensive for what I got, but good staff and short wait time. The study area has a good view of the road so you can take a short break from your work and enjoy the atmosphere.“

“Friendly atmosphere! Nice outdoor patio to eat and sit! Food tasted great!“

“What can I say: the bakery, food, and drink offerings here are outstanding and the owner is incredibly friendly and clearly passionate about what she's doing.

You really can't go wrong with any of the grab and go cake, cupcake, or pastry items. We've gotten many of them, and we've also gotten special order cakes from here that have been wonderful. Their breakfast burritos (vegetarian or not) are a great quick breakfast option. The quiches (which are relatively new) are exceptional. The hibiscus agua fresca is a lovely refreshing drink for a hot day.

I hope this place stays here for a long time because its popularity has added liveliness to the Roger Williams area.“
