Coffee Shops near Summit

“Always the best place to stop for late night hungry run!“

“your food is excellent my favorite cold coffee with whipped cream and hazelnut flavor and the everything bagel with vegetable cream“

“My Saturday rest day go to delivery! Best iced mocha latte, empanada, and Cuban sandwich I've ever had... The beignets are also fantastic. 10/10 would recommend!“

“When heading towards Beverly for a property management home inspection, I wanted to find a local coffee joint that I could get a coffee and a snack of some sort. Afro Joe's was calling to me. Walking in, greeted warmly, the adventure began. If you haven't been, check the menu before you go because you will want to order one of each item! Since it was my first time, most certainly NOT the last, I needed a lifeline. Charmaine to the rescue. I don't know if I manifested or she read my mind , but when I asked which sandwich I should order instantly , she said the short rib! Boom! Done. Next up, a drink choice. Again I was not led astray. The option was a blueberry lavender cold brew topped with rose cold foam. As she was suggesting the option, Charmaine lifted the one she was drinking and again instantly sold. No chocolate croissant available since it was later in the morning but the chocolate morning roll was there and three for three, the order was placed. I already know that I have to come back, time and time again.Just walking in such a chill vibe , perfect music, everyone tables either working or chatting with a friend. The open kitchen invites you to see the hustle and bustle. The garage doors roll up onto the patio for warmer days and what appears to be local art work adorns the walls. When I tell you, this is absolutely no exaggeration, every item was on point! The short rib was so flavor forward eith the bite of picked onions, there was a side of diced pickles and onions too. Also a hit. The warm bun had some fruit nestled in its chocolatey tummy, flakes and moist with the richness of cocoa. And for the latte, cold, sweet and the flavors all complimented each other so well. I did opt for whole milk because, why not?!? I had one too many client emails and texts to be able to enjoy grabbing a book from the shelf but note, they even had the sharpest of colored pencils to doodle or write a note with. I have not one complaint, well, maybe one, I wish they were in my neighborhood because this would be a staple place to visit regularly! Until we meet again and I can get my hands on a chocolate croissant next...or any one of the other of their baked goods. Support your Local Black Owned Businesses!“

“Everything a matcha latte should be. Balanced in every way. Also ordered a bagel sandwich which was pretty good - as an East Coaster bagels in Chicago just don’t hit the same however it was decent. Definitely a bit pricey but overall worth it!“

“Visited a friend/wfh for a week and went to this cafe which was a few blocks away. Had it been a lot further away, having tried it already, I would have still gone back every day for my morning coffee! I love everything about this place…the vibe, the nod to a history and niche-ish subject of yesteryear, the friendly staff, and the coffee itself was delicious. One of the owners was present twice I was there and was very friendly - I wanted to buy a shirt but they didn’t have my size and he looked in the back and made sure the size wasn’t available before I left. Anytime I’m in Chicago, I will be back and will be ordering a shirt online. 10000/10!!!!“

“The pastries are very delicious! I have a variety of them. They are some of the best I have had in unexpected combinations. The latte I had was floral and balanced. It was a Lavender Latte. If you love coffee and pastries, you do not want to miss out on this experience. Cafe Calida has a selection that is full of flavor that is truly sure to delight. Visit them today to see for yourself. Check their hours of operation.“

“Delicious fresh Thai cuisine. Staff is friendly and the space is beautiful!“

“loved everything about it!“

“After hearing about Omarcito’s from Triple D, we had to try it. The owner, Omar, is hilarious and has a great personality. He greeted everyone as they walked up and held genuine conversations. My husband and I ordered a few different items, and we were not disappointed. The ingredients are fresh and you could tell the meat is marinated because it was super tender. This place is a must!!“

“Can’t say enough great things about this place. The word that immediately leaps to mind when I think of it is…comfort. It’s a comfortable space with a very relaxing vibe. And old school coffee house vibe in many ways (and that’s a HUGE compliment in my book).“

“I haven’t tried everything in there but the coffee drinks and different juices I’ve had are really good and the staffs super nice friendly always smiling.“

“We stopped in today on a tip and what a delicious treat! Highly recommend!“

“Nice place, wonderful burger and good bar selection. Totally disagree with the credit card surcharge, though - no restaurant with $20 burgers should charge guests the comission!“

“Ube tiramisu UBE brownie UBE latte cold Pandan latte cold“

“Best coffee I’ve ever had“

“😀 I've been a satisfied customer for many years. They never disappoint! They also have a nice selection of both dairy free and no sugar added options!“

“Prequel is my favorite coffee shop in Chicago. Their menu is small but it absolutely shines in the coffee department. They really know what they're doing here. The brown sugar cardamom latte is perfectly sweet with just the right amount of spice. The rose and lavender matcha is also a favorite of mine. The florals go so well in the tea, and the strength of the matcha is just right. I have tried their deluxe breakfast sandwich and it was missing something to me, a bit of spice or smokiness or something, and I have yet to try their pastries, but I know I can always count on them to make an excellent latte or cup of coffee, which is what comes first for a coffee shop.“

“I’m in love with this place and the people working there are sweet and nice I’m addicted“

“I took my wife here for her birthday last week. The vibe was lit. The worker behind the counter was so helpful and went out of her way to answer any questions we had. She made us our lemonade to perfection. We also got the infused turtle cheesecake. Everything was great. We will definitely be back here.“

“Vibes 10/10
Cortado 10/10
Chit chat 10/10
Patio 10/10
Visited Metric this morning during a short bike ride around Chicago. Without a doubt the best cortado Ive had in this city. Granted my sample size is small, but this was truly an amazing drink. I am very glad I ventured outside of the tourist lands and made the trip. I even got a recommendation for a coffee shop to visit back home from them. Thanks!“

“I’ve been going to Bang Bang Pie & Biscuits for years — back when my cousin worked there — and it’s still one of my favorite spots in the neighborhood. The ginger cookies are reason enough to visit on their own.

Everything feels thoughtful without feeling overdone. Great food, great people, and the kind of place that becomes part of your routine before you realize it. Logan Square wouldn’t feel quite the same without it.“

“I’ve solicited this place since the beginning of their viral TikTok video. Each time was a great experience. The staff are always polite. They really take time out to listen to your fav. choices, and are willing to let you add or subtract your fav. flavors. The products are of good quality, and the taste is wonderful. Try them out. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Amazing vegan sandwiches, ice cream and service! 10/10“

“10 years, and I still love them. Everything is perfect at any location. Chicago’s premier roasters.“

“Fantastic place with even better coffee.“

“I’ve been to most of the locations in Chicago but this location is the ONLY one I keep coming back to! Even if it’s out my way I will make the trip every single time. Their products are amazing and far better than any other location. Most importantly, the customer service here is always and I mean ALWAYS phenomenal!! The entire staff is warm and friendly. I’ve been here probably over 50 times and never had a bad experience! If you are lucky enough to have Dee to help you, just know you are GREAT hands! Dee is one of the best, she remembers her customers and what we tell her. I’ve had life happen and this spot has ALWAYS helped me out and especially Dee! Thank you to everybody here!“

“Thank you so much Cafe El Menson for your generous donation to my kindergarten classroom today. My students really enjoyed the Arroz con Gandules. I cannot thank you enough!“

“The crepes are delicious and filling!“

“A super popular cafe and bakery, Allez Café is a pleasant spot to visit! There isn’t a huge amount of seating, but it’s nice to sit and relax if you can grab a table. The interior is very cozy and warmly designed.
The breakfast sando is impeccable. The sandwich is filled with a fluffy steamed egg patty, crispy bacon slices, a homemade hashbrown, and stretchy cheese. The combination of the aioli and jalapeno jam is really smoky and has a good peppery kick. It comes out steaming hot on the softest potato bun. One of my favorite breakfast sandwiches in the city.
Definitely worth trying some of their other items as well. The miso chocolate chip cookie is wickedly delicious. It has a great chewy texture with the crispiest outer edges. It has big pools of chocolate and a touch of umami due to the miso. It’s so rich and tasty with the sea salt flakes. And on top of all of that, it’s absolutely massive.
The ramp and délice brioch with lemon is made up of the softest roll topped with a zesty cream. It’s vibrant, but has sharpness due to the ramp.
The mandarin dark chocolate pan suisse was bright and filled with a good bit of melty chocolate and custard. Not as flaky as I would have liked, however.
Overall a nice spot to enjoy good food with a peaceful environment in Bucktown!“

“clean environment, friendly staff and AMAZING coffee ☕ 😋“

“We were on a taco crawl but had to stop by this local pizza joint. We got the pepperoni slice, it was the perfect amount of salty and greasy. The thin crust was absolutely perfect. A hidden gem!!!! I'd love to try the longanisa pizza next time, it only comes as a whole pizza.“

“10 years, and I still love them. Everything is perfect at any location. Chicago’s premier roasters.“

“Best coffee shop I have found so far! Delicious matcha and pastries. The tea selection is also great.“

“Delicious Mediterranean desserts and homemade ice cream! large ,clean and spacious room to sit down and enjoy your desserts 🍨 very friendly staff ❤️❤️❤️“

“Nos encantó! Muy limpio y elegante, nos atendieron muy bien. La comida estaba muy rica!“

“Wow, this place is AMAZING? Great service, hopping atmosphere, and every single one of our dishes were delicious. We will be making this establishment a regular breakfast place during our Chicago visits! Food ordered was: Breakfast burrito Croissant Sandwich Buttermilk pancakes with a side of crispy bacon!“

“First time here and I loved it! I came during that quiet time between lunch and after work. They have locally-made gelato! They have an AWESOME barista! I am really sorry I forgot to ask their name. Whoever was working Tuesday afternoon, you are great, thank you. They make their own syrups, y'all AND THERE IS WINE, by the glass or bottle and they're open til EIGHT! And there's Open Mic tomorrow (Wednesday) night!! Signups at 6:45!“

“If you’re looking for a variety of delicious pan(Mexican sweet bread) and cafe(coffee) or tea, this is a ONE STOP SHOP!
They serve the smoothest cold brew and richest cafe de olla!
Now— “early bird gets the worm” as they sell out fast(bread.)
They are open later than most local cafes(6 pm) and have the BEST team. Not only are they phenomenal with drink recommendations but the customizations they cater towards their customers provides the best quality of coffee you can experience!
Anything and everything you can think of they might have. If not, ask for a recommendation; I can almost BET you will not be disappointed!“

“Wow this place is gorgeous, I first walked in and thought I was transported to a different place, but I do have some bad things to say other than the good food, me and my friend had there crepes and they were delicious but not worth the 14 dollars for the pizza slice portion they gave us. The complaint I have was that the used all of the budget on the dining room but couldn’t afford to spruce up the restrooms. The floor in the bathrooms was cracking, the toilet was leaking, the door had to be slammed closed because it wasn’t on the hinges properly. The employee outside of the bathroom was also smoking indoors. Food was delish though!“

“Top Notch Service! Best place to get your coffee! Sweets are delicious & fresh!“

“The coffee is excellent, the food never disappoints, and the atmosphere is perfect whether you’re relaxing or getting work done. What really makes it special is the customer service—everyone is so kind and welcoming, and you can tell they genuinely care about their customers. It feels like more than just a coffee shop.“

“Great local coffee shop. Plenty of seating or can easily grab and go. Monthly specialty coffees always catch my eye.“

“Just popped in here because I needed to pee ! lol. So glad I did! Such a great cafe. I was immediately in love with the costumer service (shout out to the two employees working who made me feel so welcome ) and the drinks we got were great. A dolce de coco decaf latte, the strawberry foxglove match and a habanero lemonade. All wonderful. I now regret not getting a sandwich cause those looked great too. Definitely want to come back. Great vibes, great drinks, above and beyond service.“

“I tried this place on a Thursday morning and it was fairly busy for a weekday. Wanted to try one of the skillets so opted for the pulled pork, yuca and eggs along with a ginger latte. Excellent food! The atmosphere is very friendly as 3 tables adjacent all struck up conversations together and everyone stayed an hour talking after we had all finished eating. What a pleasant neighborhood find.“

“I got the StrawBeet smoothie and the asparagus soup and both were absolutely delicious!!! I love that their ingredients are organic and that they have vegan options as well!“

“Cute little place. Big portions. Not a fan of the matcha.“

“I been to this place over a few times and I never been disappointed, and they opened this new location in Orland park. When you walk in the atmosphere automatically hits you full of warm white marble and brown coffee colors. The place is very clean and awesome for studying because they have mini study pods!!! So enjoy your coffee and study effortlessly. As for when I order, every staff member there is wonderful. Patient, attentive, and swift. I had ordered a new item called the cream cheese cinnamon bun!! It was mouth watering (10/10 must try again) and amazing iced coffee!! So with that being said definitely stop by this location.“
