12 Best Coffee Shops in Vernon Hills

“I tried a coffee from here for the first time. Elena is so sweet and I LOVEEEE her accent. But she truly is so nice and sweet and I love that (i think i have a crush on her). Apart from her the coffee was SOOOO good. I was feeling low on energy so I needed something and this coffee was amazing. You can tell she is passionate about what she does and that makes me very happy to see. It’s safe to say i won’t be getting coffee from anyone else bc I love every but about it.“

“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.“

“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 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!?❤“

“The first thing you notice is the farm house decor. The menu is American fare with a hint of some southern dishes. The staff is great considering it can get busy after 8:30 am. There’s plenty of parking and weather permitting. They have outside seating.“

“I tried the honey lavender matcha latte, and it was very delicious. I'm a huge matcha girly, and the amount/flavor of matcha did not disappoint- it was a dark green but still was very creamy. It was understandably sweet, which wasn't to my taste, but I did love the honey and lavender flavoring. I ordered a hot drink because the mall is cold, and the temperature is perfect- hot but not enough to burn my taste buds. Now I can comfortably sit down and study. The only thing is that it's very open to the mall (like, it's giving open floor design) so there's something weirdos walking by and being rowdy. It's not really a cozy café, but it's still very aesthetic and sleek (like all TLJ's).“

“Great staff and friendly atmosphere. Always fun to sit and spin wool on my spinning wheel while carrying on conversations with other patrons curious about what I’m doing.“

“Came here for a quick snack while at the mall with my friends. Staff was nice and there was virtually no line. Staff picked out biggest Cinnabon for us even though there were smaller ones in the tray which was very kind. Lots of seating nearby as this was right next to the food court.

Parking: Inside a mall which had lots of parking.“

“The drive thru barista Danielle was so awesome the other day. I ordered a cold brew and as I drove away and picked it up the lid popped off and spilled. I went back to the drive thru to ask for napkins to clean it up since I didn’t have any in my car. I also had three small kids with me so couldn’t go into the store to get napkins. She not only provided napkins but made me a new cold brew! Such great customer service and so unexpected.“

“Nobody up at the cashier so had to put in my order and pay for it at ome of the kiosk Would have been great if someone s was up at the cashier takin my actual order“
