“Foodwise, is truly a wonderful story, somebody in the kitchen knows what to do and that translates all the way to our braines stirring waves of good sensations.Their turkish culture habits, the hours limitation for certain types of food, do not always overlap with other's schedule or expectations. The staff is very polite and forthcoming but that's so much they can do.The atmosphere is a bit bizzare, the music for example, is not in tune with the specific, the way that the tables are set, suggests rather a train fare than a regular restaurant.Their sweets shop however, is there to take away all possible clouds and make your day.Parking: Plenty of parking“
“We ordered through Door Dash. The prices were a bit more affordable compared to some other breakfast restaurants in the area!I ordered the Caliente Wrap with fries and would order again. It wasn't super spicy. Portion sizes were just right.“
“We came by to Moe's after hearing about an advertisement for a special brunch event, and we were floored by the wonderful people running this place! They were very friendly and inviting, and held a simple but classic brunch with mimosas and the atmosphere was kind and caring! We haven't been to it in the evening as a bar, but this brunch special is something they'd like to run monthly and we'll worth it!“
“Every time I come in to Gerry’s, I immediately sense the positive and loving atmosphere, and I always leave feeling better because of it! The food has always been very good, and the coffee is top-notch! I highly recommend Gerry’s to anyone who enjoys the beauty of humanity and connection.“
“So sorry the pic tells it all.. the food was amazing ? nothing left and forgot to take a pic because when the food came out we didn’t stop eating lol ? the coffee and service was on point. Our waiter Julian paid attention to us and our creamer “
“Kind and caring couple that owns this small coffee and tea shop. They have bubble tea as well as coffee's and teas. Always willing to adapt your drink just the way you like it. And they are still serving carry out during this difficult time with a smile and positive attitude. Thanks Chris for being there!“
“We stopped in one afternoon to Harmony Coffee Bar. You know what harmony is ? A combination of things or parts that forms a connected and unified whole. That just about sums up our visit to this adorable cafe. I ordered the Gold Crush Latte which is topped with Dalgona which melted into the latte giving it a slightly sweet and mellow flavor. My companion ordered an iced Gold Crush Latte so they could enjoy the Dalgona as it slowly released its sugary cookie flavor into the coffee beverage. As we savored our drinks in the pleasant and cozy seating, they prepared our Croffle, a combination of croissant and waffle, and it was crispy and buttery and caramelly. All in all, a harmonious mix of flavors and textures that added up to a very pleasant midday interlude.“
“The food was outstanding!!!! The service was great!!! The atmosphere is pleasant and clean. Wish it was bigger so more people could experience how fantastic of a place it is.Parking: Free parking in strip mall.Kid-friendliness: All are welcomed and the menu is suitable for kids as well.“
“Amazing place. ‘The best hot dog I’ve ever had’ a 10 year old Skokie resident. The food was amazing, we tried the strawberry lemonade, and the summer roast beef. The staff was beyond friendly, and so kind. Will definitely be back. Can’t wait for the full menu. Would 100% recommend Can’t wait to have lunch again this week“
“I can't understand the negative reviews. I brought my three girls here for lunch and we had an amazing lunch! We last dined here about a year ago. The service was incredibly fast, the fried calamari was delicious, and the pizza was amazing. My picky eater asked for four more meatballs after devouring the first three that came on her spaghetti. I decided to try the soup/sandwich combo. It was so difficult to choose a sandwich because they ALL sounded amazing. I was very pleased with the Italian sandwich with the asparagus soup. I wish I would have brought a quart of the soup home for my husband to enjoy. The ingredients are fresh and everything tastes wonderful. I am already looking forward to our next visit!!“
“The food is so fresh and the environment is so warm. Many try to hit the mark with this type of menu and fail to deliver as great of an all around experience. The service is attentive and kind. Willing to travel to experience this small treasure!Dietary restrictions: Great option for a gluten free sandwich!“
“Perfect place to run into all kinds of people! For example people from high school who you forgot about but now feel the need to impress, bikers who don’t know how to share the road and wear obnoxious neon, and weird hipsters who are really thrilled to tell anyone who will listen that they’re having coffee in a converted firehouse. Coffee is excellent and decorations remind me of being at a sleepover in grade 4 at my slightly too secular friend’s house.“
“The Onion soup was good, it was verry filling and tasted great, I would recommend to try it. The raspberry and strawberry tarts were also amazing, they are similar but each taste flavorful and delicious. I would recommend coming here the atmosphere is great, the food tastes good and the workers are nice.“
“My husband and I have been coming here for years. The owners, Chris and Nikki and the bartender, Monica are always welcoming and take good care of us. Nice atmosphere, good company, lots of tvs if you want to watch the game, great music playing in the background. The food is always very good and freshly made. Some of our favorites are the chicken kabobs, the Jerry's Special, and the burgers, which are excellent! Half price martinis on Wednesdays with a long list of options to choose from. We celebrated my husband's 50th birthday there and they were very accommodating and everyone had a great time!“
“Come here quite often for date night a they're one of the only area coffee shops that serves food and is open later during the week. Staff is always friendly, we love their flat breads, coffees and chais are wonderful and the ambience is great. It's become a local haunt with us!“
“All that it was hyped up to be! Brought my wife and son for a coffee but ended up trying the breakfast sandwich and pastries mmmmm so Devine. Everyone is super friendly, professional and attentive. This fine establishment is a military supporter so be sure to inform the cashier. I definitely recommend this Awesome coffee shop to Everyone!“
“Nice atmosphere, excellent service, and good prices/value. Not a ton of savory vegetarian options. Most meat free stuff are the super sugary items. Also, the coffee situation is in desperate need of an upgrade. Tasted like nothing, it was just hot brown water.“
“I really wanted to love-love this place. Cool art deco meets art nouveau atmosphere. Smilish novelties for sale. Good enough chai and menu offerings. But man, a simple “hi” attitude and a some background music would go a long way in this joint. After all, today is the greatest…. (P.S. awesome Chop Suey sign!!)“
“this place exceeded in customer service and definitely very please with how clean the place was. we even went over and thanks the women that was cleaning and wiping things down immediately after kids were doing with it. hand sanitizer was everywhere. overall great experience at the mount prospect location. thank you to the amazing staff.“
“The date cardamom latte, I asked for oat milk, was redolent of spice, with a cute heart in the foam. The croissant was soft, rather than flaky, but I'm not complaining because there wasn't a crumb left to be had. Solid offerings, friendly staff, efficient service.“
“Absolutely love everything about this spot. The staff is awesome, the food is incredible and the beverages and drinks are great. They even serve alcohol. Their soups & chili, hot sandwiches and pastries are exceptional. The source organic chicken and fresh eggs from from Harrisons; bagels from Kauffman, different dairy and butter from Wagner Farm, pastries from Bennistons and etc. Truly a cool spot to read a book, work on your laptop or just sit with a friend and chat. They get into themed items for holidays and go out to decorate. Also have coordinated events too. Kathy the owner truly knows how to run a great establishment. Very kid friendly and excellent prides for the value of what you get. Plenty of parking and a block from the library, train station and a park. My only grip is that the bathroom need a little more attention. They also have a reward system too eirh gracious cash back and a drive thru. Also have gluten free option. Great variety of fresh items. Truly a gem to have in Glenview.“
“Wonderful location in Libertyville with an engaging and friendly staff. They take the time to get your order right, and I was very impressed with the Barista skills. The art of creating a milk foam icon (image of a fox ?) on my mocha was unique and made stopping a truly enjoyable experience. Highly recommend.“
“Great place to have stop by and eat out in. Great variety of dishes can be found in their menu and the quality of the food is great. My go-to dish are the Chilaquiles, Although somewhat spicy having ordered a side of white toast really complement eachother. Not much can be said about the service, As soon as I arrived I was cordially escorted to my seat and the waitress was very nice and attentive. Will recommend this place to anyone looking for a homecook meal. Make sure to come early oherwise there will be a wait time which it isn't too long as patrons come and go and the wait is redeemed by their delicious food.Kid-friendliness: Establishment has a small selection of items for Kids.“
“Comfort food in a cozy country-style atmosphere. Classic food prepared fresh with generous portions for the price ($10-14). We had the fried chicken & philly steak flatbread - delicious! This really is a hidden gem with a wonderful mission to support adults with intellectual disabilities. Why stop at a chain restaurant when your money can go to such a good cause? TIP: We were glad we wandered around because we picked up some delicious chocolates & cookies in the little country store around the corner from the pet stop.“
“This is real Thai food, prepared and served by a team of sisters. The veggies in your entree may have come out of their garden. This is real food made with care and a focus on quality. The menu is varied, the atmosphere is comfortable, the pricing is very reasonable. Entree sizes are average, definitely fair for the cost. Alcohol (beer/wine) is available. Dine-in or takeout, either way, it's going to be good.Vegetarian options: If you don't see what you want, ask and they will make it for you.Dietary restrictions: They are happy to cook to order, just ask!Parking: Street parking immediately if front of restaurant. Free parking garage 1.5 blocks South .Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome here.Wheelchair accessibility: Standard ADA compliant layout.“
“Put this on your list of places to check out when you need to be nourished body and soul. This whole place feels like a warm,familiar hug. The vibes are welcoming and super chill. There's a counter with a few stools, some tables and chairs, or a couch and chairs to relax on. Got a hazelnut latter, which was amazing - not bitter, not overly sweet. I devoured the kale/sweet potato/quinoa bowl and freaking loved it. My partner enjoyed a breakfast burrito, which came with a side of fruit. Great service and ambiance. Will def stop by next time I'm in the area!.“
“I have had a great experience since day one. Everything I have ordered has been great. Employees are super friendly. Workouts are awesome!Kid-friendliness: My daughter had the bubble waffle and she loves them! This is a lot healthier for her since she does dance she has to get her protein in. She loves all the girls that work there.“
“TL;DR 5/5: This is how a café should be.Food 5/5: Spring Pea was the soup of the day on each of 2024 March 20 and 21. White cream decorated the vibrant, green soup as a barista would an artful latte and the colors enhanced a rich and textured soup which included strips of Genoa salami. The Rosemary Ham & Cheddar Savory Crepe, accompanied by a vinaigrette-topped salad, added further taste and temperature -- heavy and warm from the savory crepe, light and chilled from the salad -- to the meal. Next, while the Classic Bennie (Canadian bacon, poached eggs, with house salad) was also filling, the Denver Omelet (bell peppers, onion, rosemary ham, cheddar, and substituting chips for house salad) beat all of the above with not only its sunny eggs and bright red bell peppers but also its delicate flavor. And to drink, a hot, Honey Lavender Latte ("heavenly" was how I described it to a server who asked how everything was), proved to be popular for good reason.Service 5/5: Dining in was quasi counter-based, where one orders and pays at the counter, receives utensils and a number to set at their table, and has their meal brought to them and finished dishes cleared away by a server who may ask how the diner's meal was. Or at least that's how it went with me, with never a lag or rush. Great job.Atmosphere 5/5: Side street parking by this café was available. Inside it was fairly busy but not packed. And the interior was bright and airy, clean and comfortable, with tables and chairs thankfully not giving even a hint of violent wobbling, unlike those of some other eateries.“
“The interior and vibe is amazing. Ladies who took my order were very nice and friendly . They even gave me to try their sample teas, so that I can decide if I want sweet one or not. Their earl grey milk tea is yummy , best if you try it without sugar.“
“I love the music here, I love the gorgeous atmosphere, I love the servers and the owners. Get whatever u want to drink and a snack and enjoy the gorgeous alley and bar and Lake Bluff sidewalk. I wish I could get here more often, maybe it's better I don't!“
“Needed a quick cafe for lunch and some work and this place was perfect. Good food with health and unique options. Quick service of a cafe with super helpful staff. French fries were a great add on super cheap, salad was perfect with homemade ranch that was awesome. The wifi was strong and calm and quiet atmosphere. Everything I needed today!“
“Give my girl Victoria a raise, employee of the month, or some sort of recognition. I am 8 months pregnant and she accommodated me while being the only waitress on the floor. I didn’t wait long for my food or drinks even though she was taking care of online pickup orders and customers inside the restaurant (about 30) She is a phenomenal waitress. She is kind. She is what many restaurants look for and jelly cafe is lucky enough to have her. Also, the Spanish omelette was great!“
“West Town Bakery opened another location! They have branched out to the suburbs and created an awesome space with a connection to OKAY dispensary. This place is awesome. The bakery continues to impress and by the way has the most FABULOUS gluten free selections, I LOVE the cake balls! There is also a very cool inviting lounge attached to OKAY which I highly recommend visiting as well. Now I hear they are expanding and opening a new location in Evanston in early 2024, can't wait to see that. Nice job West Town, keep up the good work, I will see you soon!Dietary restrictions: BEST gluten free baked goods EVER!“
“Very inviting place, food is amazing, clean lavatory, a bit pricey but worth it for the quality you receive. Super authentic and place seems to be ran by husband and wife. Place is huge so you won't have to worry about waiting to be seated. Everyone here has a smile, staff is super friendly. If you're looking for great Filipino food, this is your place.“
“Its my go-to after hrs place in the ‘burbs with my teen. We are mainly go for appetizers and desserts - all vegetarian options are good, ouzo is alright and the coffee with ice cream is my kids favorite. The vibe is family friendly, calming, low-key, and the ‘price is right’. Thank goodness we found this Gem!!!“
“I originally saw this place on Tik Tok was super excited to see it, food was good the boba was amazing the cups are super adorable i do plan on keeping mine the workers are super nice the only problem was that there were so many people so i waited almost 10-15 min for my boba tea it couldve been that i went on a weekend but al in all i loved it i would totally go again“
“This place is amazing! I came here with my wife and daughter, and boy, did I have the best lunch I've had in a while. I got the mozzarella and tomato sandwich with pesto on a baguette- and mamma Mia! The Italian boy in me is pleased ☺️. It was so fresh and simple, but so good. They've got some really great options here that are not too heavy but they hit the spot- and they've got that home made taste to 'em that's hard to find nowadays. Not to mention- the joint is gosh darn cute! You know my wife had to take many, many photos... ???The little cookies and pastries are classics, too. Getting a nice little treat has become a core memory for my little daughter. This place is a neighborhood staple.“
“I had the pleasure of visiting this boba shop recently, and despite the initially daunting line, the wait time was surprisingly short, clocking in at around 15 minutes. What impressed me most was the efficiency of the staff; they were clearly well-staffed and managed to keep the line moving smoothly, even with a large crowd of high school students. While the boba itself wasn't the most extraordinary I've ever tasted, the drinks were certainly satisfying. They struck a good balance between flavor and sweetness, making them enjoyable treats. What's interesting is that I've been here before during quieter periods, and while the shop was relatively empty, the service speed remained consistent, which speaks to their commitment to efficiency. Overall, despite the initial wait and the boba being just above average, I would still be inclined to come back. The overall experience was pleasant enough, and knowing that the service is reliable makes it worth another visit.“
“Very nice restaurant! Love the ambiance. It's clean and the decor is beautiful especially the floral portion on the ceiling and paint color on the brick. We ordered skillets and they were large portions and were not greasy. Very delicious! I upgraded my pancakes to the signature honey berry ones and they were amazing!! Not too sweet and my husband ate half cause they were huge! Wide variety on their menu so we will be back.“
“I went here to do some personal work with my mom. We grabbed lunch and while it was a bit expensive. It was delicious, I love how they really made sure that my allergy was known to all staff and my food was carefully prepared. Will definitely return, the atmosphere is so calm great location off the highway.“
“The food is so fresh, I used to get it delivered and finally went in person and learned it's all made fresh to order. The place is owned by a lovely couple who were so sweet! Everything we order is always delicious! The owners had us try the cookies this visit and they were a huge hit!“
“This is one of my favorite places, it is excellent in service and food, breakfast in everything, and very good prices, the place is not very big but it is wonderful and very fast in making the food, its delicious green sauce and the attention of the people Wonderful, thank you, it is very pleasant to visit this place.♥️♥️♥️Kid-friendliness: Excellent place to attend as a family ♥️“
“I have now visited this place a few times. I was here when they first opened and they needed to work out the kinks. I visited again when their pastries seemed to only come out of the refrigerated shelves and now they have a case with pastries. The two women working were nice when I arrived both greeting me separately when I walked in. One worked solely on drive thru orders and didn't help out the main counter if there was no one in the drive thru. The other working the main counter took her time making my drink of choice: hot mocha with oatmilk and an extra pump of chocolate (not a coffee drinker here). She filled my mug to the brim with artistic yumminess. It's a fairly open concept inside with two Jeni's ice cream coolers along one wall and a refrigerated cooler with juice cold brew canned coffees, bagels, fruit and other items. There's plenty of seating and plenty of space so you aren't on top of others. They have bistro tables, high chairs with a counter along two windows, low tables for 2/4/6 people for privacy to collaboration, and they have comfortable chairs and couches with coffee tables. It's a great place to start your day, conduct business, meet up with family and friends or to just kick back with a nice cup of Joe and a decent nosh.“
