Coffee Shops near Third Lake

“I always come out of my way to come to this starbucks! They make my drink consistently amazing every time! They’re very friendly at the window and inside, I truly enjoy coming here in the morning/afternoon! Thanks for making my day w/ my favorite drink every time!“

“All day every day. Clean bathroom and killer donuts even late at night.“

“What a deal. Bought some ice cream pints. Variety of flavors. Excel experience.“

“Alina was wonderful she was extremely knowledgeable and every cup of coffee was so smooth I had the cherry blast and it was super smooth not to sweet perfect balance and for those who don’t like strong coffee it’s a great option. My husband had the Cafe Borgia and omg that was the best espresso I’ve had in a long time super smooth just the right hint of chocolate. The atmosphere was so nice she had games and she’s very friendly to talk to so we felt very welcomed. Alina also offered us pastries to try they were so good we really liked the cinnamon pastry it tasted like a a churro it was so soft moist and delicious 🤤 we also tried the lemon pastry wow it was so good we are not from this area but we are happy we got to meet Alina and try her wonderful coffee 10/10 recommend“

“I come here because they do pour-overs. Really Good pour-overs. (If they're busy, multi-tasking staff may miss the correcting timing so the extractions are suboptimal and may alter the taste in the negative.) But still a great coffee - I'm nitpicking.

I enjoy this more than the other places in Libertyville because the barista's really know their products - every one I've talked with has been able to discuss each coffee with knowledge that helps me learn. And oh so friendly, nice people who work there.

Pastry choices are limited, so-so in taste, and too sugary for me (donuts, muffins) They could use some nice croissants, chocolate croissants, morning buns, etc. If they partnered with Hewn Bakery it would be perfect. (I will often get coffee to go, and bring my own Hewn to eat outside at the benches.)“

“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!“

“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!“

“great coffee! its very cozy“

“best coffee shop around :)“

“My favorite place to eat in Grayslake and probably Lu even Lake County. I have been a customer for years and finally placed my first catering order for my daughter’s birthday party, the process was simple and easy. Pick up was fast and speedy. All the guests LOVED the sandwiches and pasta salad and the presentation was beautiful! Plus I got to try some of my favorite sandwiches and labrettis in smaller portions. I can’t recommend them enough!!“

“Alex's Open Mic Coffee And Tea House is the beating heart of Antioch, wrapped in espresso aroma and pure creative electricity.
You step inside and immediately feel like you just crossed into a place that actually gets community. Not the fake, corporate buzzword version, but the real thing, built drip by drip, song by song, cup by damn cup.

The coffee hits with purpose. Smooth, strong, balanced, and brewed by people who clearly give a damn about the craft. None of that burnt-tire bitterness you get at the chain spots. This stuff is alive. Whether you grab a classic pour-over, a latte that could convert the non-believers, or one of their signature drinks, everything tastes intentional and dialed in.

The tea selection? Massive. Fragrant, clean, and curated like someone actually thought about what humans enjoy. You smell the leaves before they brew them and suddenly you are already halfway in love.

The vibe is the real magic trick.
It is cozy without being sleepy. Artsy without being pretentious. Warm without being syrupy. It is the kind of place where people actually talk, create, write, laugh, think, and exist without rushing their souls out the door.

When the music starts, the whole room transforms.
The Open Mic nights are not filler entertainment. They are a showcase of raw humanity. You hear power. You hear vulnerability. You hear people taking chances and owning their moment. And the crowd? Supportive like a damn village. Nobody judges. Everybody listens. You can feel the energy bounce around the room like a spark that refuses to die.

The staff treats you like a regular even if it is your first time walking in. Friendly, fast, genuine, and on top of everything without hovering.

If Antioch has a creative sanctuary, this is it.
If Antioch has a living room for the whole town, this is it.
If Antioch has a soul, chances are it is drinking a latte right here.

The Open Mic Coffee And Tea House is more than a café. It is a home base for anyone chasing caffeine, connection, or a moment of damn peace in a chaotic world.“

“I had an excellent time with my friend at 7 brew. Our server Rico was awesome and really helped us out ! He is so fire . We didn’t even know what drinks we wanted and it’s like he read our minds . Excellent service from Rico . This 7Brew is awesome :)“

“Good service, good coffee, yummy treats and nice atmosphere“

“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!!“

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

“*update, the owner was quick to respond and a changing table will be installed, THANK YOU!*

*no changing tables in the bathrooms for my daughter. had to change her on the soaking wet sink top. not a fun experience at all and have tried emailing them with no response.*

This is one of my go to places in Libertyville. I love the atmosphere, the location, and their sandwiches/scones. The only reason I'm giving it a 4/5 is I'm a chai lover and I wish they had a chai that was vanilla flavored on the menu. It's very spicy and I'm not a fan. Other than this, my friends always rave about the drinks they get since I'm not an actual coffee person.“

“Always a treat to stop by“

“My inlaws & I had breakfast here recently while we were attending my son's graduation from Navy bootcamp. The food was awesome, the staff very friendly, the prices decent and the Blueberry Wild Child tea SO tasty.“

“Everytime we come to this mall, this is one of first things we get. We saw a sign saying they had three variety flavors of horchata drinks and we jsut had to give it a try. Our go to is the Cafe horchata but you can get vanilla or chocolate as well if coffee isn't your go too. I've had them all and they are all delicious.“

“Hi, The best donuts anywhere. They are working and baking at 2:00 each morn, so you can have fresh donuts in the morning. Best Chocolate frosting ever; little secret, freshly made. They try hard to please everyone.“

“Hit the Scooter's drive-thru on a whim over the weekend. Line was short, and we were able to 'scoot' through quickly. Coffee was strong, staff was friendly. I had a coffee with espresso shots and it did the trick - strong. My lady had a Carmel iced drink that she thought was a little sweet, but also good. would come back again and maybe try some of the food options.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“I've been a regular at this Starbucks and it's always a fantastic experience! The staff are super friendly and bring such positive energy every time I visit. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming—perfect for relaxing or getting a bit of work done. Definitely one of my favorite Starbucks locations!“

“Best bakery ever.“

“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 🍦💛“

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

“Morning shift workers help you out in any way you want very nice food quality and drinks

Parking: Two girls in the morning I don't know their names help me make a drink that was can cancel from the menu they did a great job“

“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 ;)“

“Nice, well kept interior. Nice wood. Some good comfortable seats.“

“Hands down one of the best breakfast spots I've been to in while. I first visited their Naperville location in 2021 and fell in love with the potatoes and pancakes. There can be a wait but I suggest making reservations or going before 11am. Even if you wait, its totally worth it.“

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

“ABSruCKS. & lettin every body know it too.“

“great customer service !!“

“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! ?“

“Nice spot for a meeting with a very special realtor! Me! (Weichert Realtors) Sell Buy Haus (dot com)“

“Got the glow bowl and my daughter got a build your own açaí bowl today. THIS GLOW BOWL IS AMAZING!! The dairy free ranch is so tasty!! It’s perfect!!!! 10/10!!!!“

“Got my decaf order correct, was incredibly quick, and the avocado toast was very fresh and warm! Worker at the window remembered us as regulars and we were very happy to see her, glad she's still working here! Great service, always get what we asked for.“

“Thank you to our new Starbucks in Mundelein! I have visited this location three times now via the drive through. By far the friendliest and best customer service I have ever received at a Starbucks! 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.“

“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! ?“

“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.“

“fresh donuts and the coffee“

“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!“

“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. 👌“

“The coffee here is always fresh and flavorful, and the aroma as soon as you walk in is amazing. The place has a cozy vibe, perfect for relaxing or getting some work done. Service is friendly and quick, even when it’s busy. I also love the variety of drinks and seasonal flavors they offer. Always a pleasant stop for my coffee fix.“

“Friendly staff and fast service. Gotta love that!“
