“Stopped here in a hurry and looking for a quick bite. So so glad I did! The K-dogs were AMAZING and the strawberry cream donut was out of this world. The staff was kind and helpful and the establishment was very clean. I highly recommend this place and will be back!!“

“The food is fresh. You can taste that they make their own salsa, for example. The veggies on my salad were bright and crisp. In comparison to other places, you can tell you are eating fresh food. The coffee is good. They have lots of seating. Service is friendly, helpful and efficient. Good prices. Local. Easy parking. What more can you ask for? I am excited to try everything on the menu eventually.“

“Just discovered this amazing European Cafe/Bakery. I ordered a "J" cake in pink for my daughter-in-law and it was out of this world! Very light, whipped cream frosting, decorated just beautifully! I'll be ordering one next for my birthday in March :)“

“Sparrow Coffee is hands-down the best coffee shop in Naperville — and there’s a reason they’ve been recognized as the Best Coffee Shop for five years straight. I had a latte here, and it was absolutely fantastic — probably one of the best I’ve ever had. The flavor, texture, and presentation were spot on, and you can really taste the care and craftsmanship that goes into every cup.

The atmosphere is modern, welcoming, and perfect for relaxing or getting some work done. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the whole space feels thoughtfully designed — from the sleek interior to the artistic wall decor.

If you love coffee, Sparrow Coffee is a must-visit. They truly set the bar for what a great coffee experience should be.

My only “complaint,” if you can call it that, was that it was busy. But I’m guessing there’s a reason for that, given everything I just said above.“

“great drinks and great service. Best matcha I've ever had“

“Great grab n go cafe...salads wraps soup and hot sandwiches“

“This is a good breakfast spot I've been to 3 times now. I've had the eggs Benedict, burrito suizo, and healthy scrambler.

Only the eggs Benedict blew me away. The burrito looks delicious but is kinda bland. The scrambler was nothing better than what I could make at home.

My partner had oatmeal today and actually that was really good. She order crepes in the past that were good tasting too.

There are very few breakfast restaurants I feel are worth going to these days.“

“Excellent food, wonderful quiche and soups. Always a win!“

“Closest thing to a European coffee shop in the area. The coffee is great. The food is good. The portions are generous. The prices are reasonable. The staff is helpful. The room gets loud, but only because everything else here is top notch!!
Wished I had ordered the farmhouse instead of the breakfast sandwich. My friends plate looked better than mine. Sandwich was good. Farmhouse looked incredible…next time!“

“My kids love going to play cafes. We decided to come as a fun thing to do before school starts. my kids had a blast. So many fun little spaces, a lot of space, plenty of seating and clean. The food was excellent, my daughter had the cheese quesadilla and I.had the grilled chicken sandwich. (Chicken sandwich is one of the best I've ever had). I highly recommend and we will be back.“

“Enough variety in the menu to keep things interesting. Everything I've ever eaten here has been excellent including some truly amazing soups. The staff is wonderful. What more could anyone want in a restaurant? I love this place!“

“We love the healthy food and the amazing owner.“

“I visited a charming establishment today with a laid-back vibe, perfect for enjoying the slot machines. The cleanliness was remarkable, making it a pleasant space to play. Our host, Omar, was incredibly attentive, checking in regularly to enhance our experience. A great spot for a relaxing gaming outing! Highly recommended!

Parking: Plenty of free parking.“

“I stopped by the Glen Ellyn Metra train station for some coffee, and got a surprise. It was a real pleasure talking to Mary, who is not only selling great coffee and scones (more tasty and affordable than the chain stores), but working with other stakeholders in the space to keep the building clean while also maintaining a vegetable garden on the grounds surrounding the station. After talking with her, it's obvious to me that she is pursuing a labor of love, and she is a true inspiration. I can't think of a more pleasant way to board the train in the morning, or just hang out for a game of chess when things are quiet during the day. More towns should get creative like this and make these kinds of spaces more inspiring, rather than just a drab place to gather while in a rush to get somewhere else.“

“The daily specials are always delicious and affordable!“

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

“I always order the strawberry cheesecake crepes and they are amazing. The restaurant is cozy and has an upscale feel yet is also family friendly. The staff are attentive and friendly. They also have really good lunch items like paninis and wraps. Never been disappointed here. Good portions of great food at a very reasonable price! Been coming here for years although i believe ownership may have changed once or twice over the last 20 years. Everyone I know loves Dinos. It's THE brunch spot. Besides brunch cafe, that is. lol.“

“My friend and I discovered this gaming cafe located in the corner of an almost empty parking lot. Since the start of the pandemic, we've been gaming here and we haven't done that bad. Not big wins, but not to many losses either. We both agree that Kolinkos manager (lady who tends the bar for majority of time, always has a smile) is such a friendly person and she does her best.customer services is good and our experience has been that our experience has been a positive one and I hope more people start to give this place a try. You'll find a very nice lady who tends majority of the time. Its a possibility that family will come and help her out by covering her Shift here and there. After this it cool to see them join in the fun and pay. come here often as the peopleyone is very welcoming. has been 4 star treatment“

“A fantastic juice-smoothie place. They also have salads and smoothie bowls. Excellent staff.“

“The staff are absolutely wonderful and caring......love this place... My husband had a triple bypass and few weeks ago so we haven't been there for awhile...but as soon as he is able we are looking forward to returning their.“

“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.“

“The facilities are very nice and clean. Some of the staff are kind and answer any questions you may have. I love all the promotions they offer and would recommend Lacey's to anyone looking to have a fun time!“

“french toast or waffle the best I have ever had“

“Cashier was courteous! First timer here, I had the Turkey Avocado and it was delicious!!! It will be my ne go to Sandwiches!!!“

“Dining Notes: Breakfast Spot Review
Summary: Good core for American-style breakfast, but overall experience is hampered by atmosphere and inconsistent menu quality.
Key Feedback:
* Breakfast: Solid and reliable.
* Mexican Menu: Lacks authenticity (flavor, portion size, and appeal). Pricing is steep given the poor quality of these items.
* Atmosphere: Cramped space and high noise levels (loud conversations) significantly detract from the dining experience.
Conclusion: Will plan a return visit to re-evaluate the core breakfast offerings.“

“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!“

“My church! Such an amazing and friendly church to be part of. I often sit with my two good friends Lara Roefer and Shelley Egeland and we have enjoyed every service. The way the pastors break down the explaining of the Bible, really gets me going, positively of course ❤️? This church has so much to offer. If you want a REAL family oriented church, then this is for you. Everyone is excepting. Even if you go solo, you'll be warmly invited to meet after service so you can make some new friends. God is the way, the only way! * Thank you to all the pastors and staff of Yellow Box. You're so appreciated ? ?“

“Just don't rely on the app waitlist...when you get this message: You're next in line to be seated! Please head to the host stand now. Enjoy your brunch! Text "cancel" if your plans change. DONT EXPECT YOUR NAME TO BE CALLED....standing next to the host stand waiting to be called, not text, standing 3 feet away....I finally looked at my phone and I was cancelled...warning keep your heads on your phone, impersonal but it's the way it is.“
