50 Best Coffee Shops near South Barrington

“Stumbled upon this place after being a bit disappointed with my bubble tea from another place in the area. I loved the energy from the moment I walked in! The coffee smell is just enough to make you crave a blanket and a good book, the staff were friendly and inviting, plus I wasn't disappointed with my iced chai! 10/10 would - and definitely will - return.“

“We read about Joe Doughnut Itasca and thought we would give it a try…pulled up to a Shell gas station?!? Wow we were pleasantly surprised. Can’t begin to say enough good things about this place…not gas station food, custom fresh made to your liking off their full menu. Doughnuts were great, flapjacks were outstanding. Great variety of coffee products - regular, cold brew, lattes etc. The staff were warm and friendly, making you feel at home and explaining the menu to you. Met the co-owner, wonderful lady with passion for this place. Can’t believe it has been open for over 2 years. Great kept little secret. Will be back to try more of the menu!“

“This squirrel ?️ and his nutty ? friends always enjoy trivia night at worlds fair located at Bell works ?. On Thursday the happy hour is from 4-6 followed by trivia night. We are all looking forward to coming back for more week day fun.
The food is ok, the menu is small with very little to chose from. I won't recommend going for the food but the free foogball tables, hanging bar swings and relaxing outdoor patio has a great vibe. The happy hour drink prices are hard to beet.
Itsbest know for the morning coffee ☕. I haven't tied the coffee yet.“

“A must go-to for coffee/café connissures. The Seventh Heaven latte is the perfect balance of sweet flavors without going overboard on the sugar. I paired my latte with the Amarillo Chipotle sandwich. An absolutely delicious spicy twist on the classic bacon, egg, and cheese. Jesse helped me decide on the order and I'm so glad he did. The staff were kind, professional, and most importantly know what they are doing with their food and drinks. 10/10“

The cake was beautiful like a wedding cake, and it was very tasty, lots of strawberries in the layers. It definitely brought more joy to my daughter’s birthday party. Kids and parents all loved this cake. I felt so blessed to find this place before the Bday party. Thanks for bringing good food to this area!“

“Terrific drink options I never know which one I want so many options“

“Very cute place! I stopped on the way to work and was greeted by a friendly front counter cashier. She suggested some great non-coffee items. I got the Vanilla Rooibos tea and their cheddar bacon spinach biscuit/scone. I will definitely be back for both. Thanks!“

“Never disappointed. Terrific people.“

“I was at this store at 12:40 pm on 9/19/25. A customer ahead of me was belligerent and extremely aggressive with the cashier (a young lady with long dark hair, register 0698).
I’d like to praise the cashier for how she handled this unhinged elderly woman. I was ready to call security after witnessing the way she screamed at the cashier. This woman immediately started in demanding the woman help her yet refused to provide the name of the book she was seeking. The cashier calmly offered to help- a number of times- and the woman kept screaming.
I finally stepped in and told the customer that she needed to stop. But she didn’t.

Again I just want to recognize how well this cashier handled a literal crazy person. I am sorry for how you were treated and I hope management sees this and recognizes you for your customer service.“

“Terrific little hidden neighborhood spot on Main, the old 22 right in the middle of town. Service was excellent, clean and comfortable.

Parking: Rear Parking and a back door you don't realize until after the first visit.“

“Just like a second home! The staff is great very nice people“

“I really really like the iced vanilla chai tea latte 🥺“

“Delicious champurrado !!! love it !! Very nice staff!“

“This is my favorite Starbucks location. I stop there almost every morning. My dogs love getting to come along for their pup cups. The baristas all treat me so well, remembering my name, helping me with the app, and are all so fast and efficient. Anand, Dom, and everyone else at this location are just so friendly, warm and helpful. Always smiling and upbeat, which is really rare in the service industry these days. Dealing with customers is tough but they never show it. The drinks and food are always correct and always consistent. If I had my own business I would want to steal all of their employees! I am so lucky to live so close to this location but I would be willing to travel further for them!“

“Nice place, no line, good service“

“I love PHO and they do an awesome meal of PHO. I will definitely return!“

“The best bubble tea in all of Chicagoland!“

“Outside seating! We visit multiple days a week for breakfast for the great service, including an amazingly fast kitchen. Their potatoes are the best around--tender inside and crispy outside. One of our favs is the Country Fried Steak. Try the biscuits and gravy too!!!

Kid-friendliness: Always great to our kids!“

“So many delicious drinks to choose from & they are always quick! ☺️“

“The best coffee I ever had: Lavender Coffee! The pastries are melting in your mouth!“
