“The General Manager in Hoffman Estates Panera is one of the best I have ever seen. His name is Brian. He is constantly on the go, working the register, making drinks, cleaning tables, helping people as needed. Very approachable. We frequent this store regularly. Kudos Brian!“

“Wonderful food and staff, our server Kristy was warm and attentive. Ask for her! Breakfast menu is expansive!“

“Absolutely amazing menu items! My favorites are the açai bowl and the sweet tart refresher. Yum!! Excellent service as well. Highly recommended!“

“I ordered from them on Grubhub for the first time today for my two children and I. My kids have never tried boba before, they’re 4 and 8, so I thought it would be a nice treat. Omg they were DELICIOUS!!! I also opted for the mystery cup which was a super sweet surprise! I’m going to take my kids here very soon so we can actually enjoy our time in the shop itself ❤️“

“I recently visited a charming Nelikona coffee place in downtown Palatine. The rose 🌹 coffee was delicious. I loved that it was served in gorgeous tea cups, adding a unique touch to the experience. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for gatherings or meetings. The staff were incredibly friendly, which enhanced the welcoming vibe. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great coffee experience—I’ll definitely be back! 🌹🌹“

“Best breakfast spot in the Chicagoland area! Great food, excellent service from top to bottom, highly recommend! However, this place is a packed house on the weekends! Be sure to join the wait-list on Yelp or you'll be waiting over an hour for a table. Yea...it's THAT good! Kinda loud in the dining area, but that's to be expected when every single table is full from open to close.“

“delicious sandwiches and I wouldn't consider anybody else for my catering needs.“

“Good sandwiches, worth every penny“

“Fantastic Place! Great protein shakes, Tea refreshers and protein food (waffles and oatmeal). They also have Protein coffee. All gluten free! Celiac friendly! Vegan Accommodate- Just Ask!“

“Highly recommend to bring a group into grab a cup of coffee, a scoop of gelato or make a custom item in the designability shop.“

“We have been there twice. My 6 year old had a blast both times. The staff is very attentive and friendly. The coffee is delicious. One part that stood out to me both times is how well the parents monitor their children. We’ve been to similar places and had a few issues bullying. I’m not sure if it’s the layout but here you’ll see the parents actively watching, and even engaging with their kids. Thank you for providing such a safe place for our kids to play.“

“Heritage Church meets here on Sunday and I highly recommend joining us for service at 9 or 11 am.“

“Nice efficient and great service; items sold are also very good“

“2/5/2026 My wife, a friend, and I went to the restaurant after hearing about it and reading their reviews. The atmosphere and food were excellent. will definitely go again, no doubt.“

“The food was amazing and so was the service. Enjoyed everything we had. Also the espresso martini(s) was pretty good too 😉 Something here for everyone.“

“muy rico me gusta soy de México“

“Dino's has become our after church Sunday morning breakfast spot. There is usually little to no wait despite how busy they are. The food is always excellent and the staff is always very friendly especially with the kids. Best breakfast spot around!“

“Delicious crepes and paninis!! Fresh ingredients made to order! Very nice location! Definitely recommend!“

“Please put actual photos of your drinks instead of cartoons. It’s hard to tell what’s an over the ice drink vs a smoothie. The employees are super nice and the drink was good. But just wish the kiosk and menu had actual pictures instead of cartoons“

“I tried Bettina's Tea Cold Brew at the Palos Heights Farmers' Market in 2022. Delicious and Refreshing. I was hooked. I had to replenish over the winter. I placed an order via her site. My order arrived in a timely manner and the product was fresh and included a sealed pouch ,so that I could store the opened loose leaf tea bag. Five 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟 from me.“

“The drinks are good but the games are better“

“Iris makes Tracy's a lot of fun! Great personality and always has the place looking sharp. An incident happened a couple of weeks ago and I felt so sorry and scared for her. An employee from the resturant next door...My Cocina, became very agitated and got right in her face and was yelling at her. I actually got scared and thought the police were going to be called. He was out of control. Iris handled the situation and he left. But she should not be harassed by this employee. He continues to come in and it is very uncomfortable for those of us that go to your gaming lounge.“

“First time here, we were warmly greeted and offered complimentary tea/coffee and cookies. Sat down and within 10 minutes, I had doubled my money! As far as I know, this location is open until 2am and perfect if you're on a date and not ready to go home, but want to go somewhere quiet and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea and sit and chat. I had a very pleasant experience my first time here.“

“I call Stella's place my home away from home. The place is very inviting. I used to go to GVC but I like this better because there's only a few people playing and everyone is so friendly. Jonathan Is usually hosting when I go and he is the best. He is so friendly that the minute you walk in the door, he treats you like a long lost friend. He remembers what I drink and has it ready before I even say anything. If there are no machines available he offers to call Shelby's but usually I just wait around and visit til someone leaves. I've never met anyone like Jonathan, he loves his job so much and it shows.“

“Food is delicious and environment is lovely! 100/10 recommended.“

“I didn't do much here, but they were open and kind when I was in dire need of help after an event in the city. If anything they do here is as good as the people who work there, I'm sure it's five star too.Thank you so much for your hospitality.“

“Mike is hands down the best front desk staff I’ve met at any slot place 🎰 Super friendly, helpful, and always in a good mood. I’ve been here plenty of times and he’s always consistent.
Funny thing is, no matter how well he knows me, he still checks my ID every single time 😂 He said it’s because of the cameras — respect for staying professional.
Great service overall!“

“I recommend everything ! The food is exceptional and delicious .“

“Where do I Begin? I looked at several other workout centers, and this one is head and shoulders above all the others. We used to work out at the Triphahn center with the HEPD for years. They have had problems with their air conditioning and other issues as well. It was simply time for a change. And what a change! They have a huge selection of machines for aerobics, free weights, and resistance machines. They also have a spa, a nice café and their service so far is been tremendous. I went for a look and much to my surprise was given an escorted tour right away. I feel like we went from a motel six to the Ritz Carlton. That’s how good it is. They are doing renovations now to add even more. You can have the use of a personal trainer as well and at least one session is free at least through our insurance plan. “

“deliciosos licuados y excelente servicio“

“I rarely eat out these days because it’s hard to find places that truly care about using quality ingredients, but this place blew me away! The food is absolutely delicious, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. The Million Dollar Bacon is incredible—perfectly cooked and so flavorful. I can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu!“

“Every time I come here which is often , the host Ari always takes good care of customers her positive attitude and smile brightens my day the store is spotless when she’s here. Thank you for your service very great job!“
