“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!!“

“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 :)“

“Everything I’ve had from here has been delicious! Highly recommend!“

“Sparrow really ticked all the boxes; robust and flavorful espresso in a latte complimented by flavor rather than overpowered by it, delicious grilled cheese with a substantial pull, and very friendly service. Seating is a little bit of a melee but worth it.“

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

“It's a decent breakfast place. Portions are good but it's not cheap. Also I feel like the quality of their food has gone down noticeably since I first went there three years ago, my Mom doesn't want to go here anymore. It's still good enough, but Hen House of Wheaton is down the road and their food is WAY better. But also way more pricey. It's in this weird place where it's not cheap enough for me to want it as a budget option, but the food isn't quite good enough for me to want to have brunch with my parents.“

“Maple Leaf slaps. First time coming here, I was expecting the usual - a coffee shop that has ok food but coffee is the main focus. Nope. The food here is excellent! I am an absolute stickler when it comes to breakfast restaurants.. the vast majority sling out the same boring mediocre meals or are the pretentious breakfast place that sounds better than it is. This was the best breakfast I’ve had in a long time. It’s intentionally not fancy; just quality ingredients cooked correctly. Those hash browns were on point and I could tell they hand shredded those taters the ole fashioned way. The sandwich, again nothing fancy, it just felt like the way I would make it at home and it was perfect - garlic aioli for the win. If I had to critique something, the English muffin could have been better but it was perfectly fine. The breakfast alone would rival any breakfast in a 20 mile radius but - don’t forget the coffee! The coffee was great too. Most coffee places just lack in the breakfast department, I was presently surprised with ML. We even tried a gluten free donut - wow. They had some other bakery items that looked really good as well. 10/10 highly recommend.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Dino's has become our after church Sunday morning breakfast spot. There is usually little to no wait despite how busy they are. The food is always excellent and the staff is always very friendly especially with the kids. Best breakfast spot around!“

“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.“

“Erieon made our experience wonderful in Kankakee!“

“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.“

“This breakfast/dinner place is super good. I had the avocado omelette from the special menu was delicious, good presentation, big portion and excellent services. One my friend had the veggie skillet and the other the breakfast chilaquiles also said was great. The prices are pretty decent. Isn’t à big place but with a big selection. For sure will be back anytime. You have the option to have French toast was a plus.“

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

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

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

“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 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“

“I love my church. They take a stand for biblical truths and stick to it. So very proud to serve here“

“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.“
