50 Best Coffee Shops near Round Lake Park

“I just went there to have a meeting with a coworker and absolutely loved the service and the atmosphere. The empanada was still frozen when they served it to me but the server was so kind and gentle and immediately gave me another one that was well cooked and didn’t charge me for the wait and inconvenience. I call that consideration and good business practice! Will be back again!!“

“Delicious coffee with a wide variety of choices. My wife and I got an Oreo ice coffee and an iced honey latte. We will definitely be going back.“

“Stopped by this cafe around 5 pm after work and ended up staying almost two hours. The iced latte was smooth without tasting too sweet, and the garlic chicken sandwich came out fresh and hot. One of the staff noticed my phone battery was dying and quietly offered a charger. Small gesture, but it made the place feel welcoming.“

“We LOVE Little Bean! We are treated so well! Every week, our table is promptly reserved for our Bookclub. Our orders are delivered with a smile! Everything and I do mean everything is tasty and delicious! Little Bean has become a staple in our community. We are all better here in Antioch to have this welcoming, warm venue where we can mingle together. Thank you for being here!“

“great coffee! its very cozy“

“best coffee shop around :)“

“From start to finish, Jen made the entire experience special and unforgettable. We were able to try various flavors and each coffee was delicious. We brought our two girls and they both said afterward, “That was the best tasting drink ever!”
Jen was attentive and really listened to what each of us enjoy in our coffee and was able to guide us in our favorite drink! Wow!“

“Frank was super accommodating at the last minute for a corporate workshop we hosted. The set-up he provided was beautifully organized for presentation to our guests. Everyone raved about the great, "local" AREA Coffee. It was delicious and piping hot. A new go-to for us; thanks, Frank!“

“I always have a great experience here! Even when the line is super long, the employees get through everyone super fast and have never gotten a drink order wrong!

S/o Jason for answering all my questions about the menu and making sure I got exactly what I want!“

“We’ve visited many times and every time is a good experience. We love to go and let our daughter pick out a cookie as they have many fun characters to choose from. Today they offered free any size drinks for Mom’s on Mother’s Day. How wonderful, what a treat! Thank you 🩷“

“First of all, Simon’s a great host who also loves to make software. We’re here all the time, and our team loves coming to Open Mic to work, be creative, and meet with clients. It’s a comfortable, welcoming space that naturally sparks good conversations and cool ideas—some of our best ideas have come out of brainstorming sessions in this spot. Sometimes we’re heads-down getting work done, sometimes sketching things out, sometimes picking up a guitar or playing a little piano between sprints. Great coffee and tea, a relaxed creative vibe, and always something interesting going on. It’s one of our favorite spots in Lake County, Illinois.“

“The sweetest team/family, the best cannolis and focaccia bread I’ve ever had 🫶“

“Gloria Jean’s is by far my favorite coffee chain, even favorite overall in the local area. I’m incredibly happy they’re at Vernon Hills and how consistent their coffee is! Also note, they open at 10am, not 11am - somehow Google Maps is not accepting my update to business hours.“

“They always serve fresh items & is spotlessly clean. The team is friendly, helpful, & impressively fast & efficient. My son didn’t like the icing on his cinnamon roll that was priced @ $3.75, so I asked to exchange it for blueberry muffins priced @ $3.25 & told them to keep the $0.50 difference or keep .50 cents. Even though exchanges aren’t their policy, the staff kindly obliged & gave us blueberry muffins. Great service & thoughtful team!“

“I went here for the first time this weekend & it was absolutely delicious, such a relaxing & cozy atmosphere. I can’t wait to go back, it was worth the little drive there!“

“CJ:
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.“

“The bread is out of this world. My personal favorite is the seeded. The pastries are also very good. What a treasure.“

“Always a treat to stop by“

“Always perfect coffee. Fresh, never stale. The staff, especially Chello is the best.“

“Found my favorite childhood snack — egg waffles 🧇 — at MilkCow cafe near home! Definitely coming back again! Their ice cream was amazing too — super creamy and full of milky goodness 🍦💛“

“My 4 year old son loved it here!!! He was so proud to have designed a donut (which was actually just the cookies and cream option from the menu) but he watched them make it and decorate it and then showed it to everyone he passed. He said they were the BEST donuts he’s ever had! I had the cold brew with sweet cream which was solid.“

“Great staff, the bubble tea is a must have. Try it now if you haven’t done so 😊“

“Had my daughter’s baby shower cake made here. Julie was so easy to work with and gave me great advice. I had several guests who needed gluten free and Julie and her staff were able to make the whole cake gluten free. It was so delicious that my guests thought it was the best they’ve had. Thanks Whisk Bakery!!“

“Special shout out for Sarah. Thank you for helping me clear up my order even tho I messed it up. She went above and beyond helping me carry out my drink tray to my car because I was carrying my toddler. Super thoughtful especially on a rainy day.“

“Best bakery ever.“

“Good service! DELICIOUS Cheese Danish... Orgasmic.“

“Delicious boba tea! I had the Coconut milk tea with boba and my husband had the mango fruit with boba. This was our first time here! It was busy when we walked in with lines for those wanting to get there bubble / boba tea. There was a great menu of options to choose from and a nice sitting area to relax, and enjoy the drinks. Staff were quick and busy filling in the orders that were coming in. This is located in Chinatown near the Chinatown square. Great spot and delicious boba teas! We will definitely come back when we visit this area again!“

“I've been here three times in the past year and have been wowed each time. The employees are always nice and accommodating. The food is perfect each time, the bathrooms and restaurant itself are very clean, and the space is welcoming! That's saying a lot from someone who worked in a lot of restaurants over the years and can easily spot issues. Bagels are chewy, thaw nicely after being in my freezer for a bit, and make excellent sandwiches. Thank you for the Windex and cleaning up my water bottle catastrophe ;)“

“We found this place in our way to another breakfast place and decided to stop. 10/10 would definitely recommend. Best breakfast food we have had ever, restaurant is extremely clean, everyone working was friendly. We will definitely return if we are near Chicago again“

Kuddos to your drive through staff for their amazing service with a smile and great energy. This location will be my go to going forward.“

“Something new in the Mall food court! Staff is so friendly and talkative, love them! They have truly great selection of unordinary pizzas. You have to try ordering from the menu! Ready slices are good, but freshly made mouthwatering pizza is so much better. I tried pear pizza, was very impressive, chef's creation, but my best favorite is vegetarian pizza. Will be back soon. 👌“

“Me and my aunt got here at 6;46pm they close at 7pm, angie was reaññy nice and made our drinks, after she had been done cleaning the machines. Which was really really nice of her to do! We know it is a struggle when you are working alone and already had washed the machines BUT she made it work for us!Thank you angie! ?“

“Went to DD in volo only to realize my wallet is on my counter at home!!!! They were so nice and gave me receipt and said pay later and enjoy your coffee. THANK YOU DD“

“They are so friendly! They always know what I am trying to order by my description when I can't remember the name of what I had somewhere else. Also, they add on the little things I ask for, extra carmel topper or whip, without up charge. This Starbucks is by far been worth driving to than any other on surrounding areas. They don't skip on the taste, NO watering down like other ones I been to! Very happy! ?“

“Great ready prepared food buffet (and good variety), great Allegro coffee (IMO, much better than Starbucks), very friendly employees (Jen at the coffee counter, Erin at the bar, Adriana, Mell, Gail, and many others), and the store manager is so down-to-Earth simple and friendly guy that it is visible to the naked eye that customers and employees love him. I wish I had had this kind of manager in my entire career - priceless! We love this store!?❤“

“If I could Julie 10 stars I would. She is an EXCELLENT barista. She was so polite and very helpful when it came to choosing the tumbler for one of my twin girl. Don’t worry, the other twin already got one. Julie went over and beyond and was very professional. She definitely knows her store. All the staff at this location are so friendly; great experience overall and would definitely come back! Great hire manager. definitely deserve a raise.“

“I had a $5.00 gift card that I had been given years ago and I decided it was time to use it! I took my mother there, we got two donuts and after 11:00, (which it just happened to be) you get a free donut! Our total bill for three donuts and a cup of coffee was $2.89!
Fun time at Dunkin' Donuts!!“
