50 Best Cafes near Western Springs

“Our family absolutely loves Bb's donuts! We do miss being able to go inside the donut shop. So many wonderful memories taking our little girl there to eat donuts and read a book or two. We have a little boy with Autism and it's not safe for him to sit in front by the busy street because he runs. Wish we could go inside to enjoy donuts & coffee knowing it's something our son would truly enjoy.“

“Wow! Absolute perfection, from the greeting upon entering the door, to the mouthwatering menu, to the incredible service, melt-in-your-mouth perfection of each course, and did I mention the service? Best steak tartare and duck confit, EVER!“

“Great food and service! Thanks!“

“I have only been here a few times but have never been disappointed. They have amazing customer service in person and over the phone. They go above and beyond. The food is amazing as well. It’s a very welcoming vibe and the prices are very reasonable.“

“Love this place! Delicious food, gluten free options, and excellent service. Chef Paco is the best! I highly recommend the tamal de mango!!“

“Saw this place on TikTok. Did not disappoint! The fresh pasta is awesome and the paninis out of this world. Not to mention, large selection of fresh gelato was a plus.“

“Best Cheese cake I've Ever Had 5 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟“

“Chose to come here because it’s a halfway point between my friend’s and I’s homes, and it was such a pleasant experience! The atmosphere was very nice and calm, the smells were divine, and the service was excellent! We got to chat with the owner for a second and she was absolutely darling! I had a strawberry matcha latte with brown sugar boba and I know in a week I’ll be craving it again. 10/10 will be coming back again!“

“My go-to coffee is from the Little Creperie. I used to be a starbucks drinker, and now I can’t ever go back to it after tasting the quality of Little Creperie’s coffees. My absolute favorites are the Honey Lavender Latte, Pistachio Creme Latte, and Mocha. Not only do the coffees taste amazing, but the presentation is so cute!!“

“I purchased a Biscoff cheesecake and it greatly exceeded my expectations!!“

“This is my first time here, and I have to say I absolutely love the atmosphere! It is so pretty inside and it's so clean. The staff was super nice.
The only negative thing that I could say was that it did take a long time to get the food even though we were the only ones in there and for what we bought it was really expensive. I thought we were going to get these like full sandwiches and they were these little tiny bitty appetizers.
We also ordered drinks the refreshers and they were so good. I highly suggest to get them with water not with lemonade because they are very sweet. But my first time there and I definitely will be going back. Also you can sign up for points and earn free food.
Good place!“

“Please is perfect in all aspects.“

“Greg and I just finished the chicken pot pie. The best I've ever had, and ask Greg, I'm very picky!!“

“High quality trivia night host. Incredible food on a changing menu. Great place to hang with friends and family. Or a great place to sip wine and hang out with one of the many in-house books. Classy and laid back atmosphere.“

“Brewpoint is a gem in the Western suburbs of Chicago. I am entirely blessed to live blocks from their craft location on York. Exposed brick, chandeliers, and a plant wall surrounds you - a grateful reprieve from cookie cutter Starbucks decor. Coffee, matcha, and baked goods are top notch (haven't tried cocktails or charcuterie yet). A wonderful mix of professionals, college students, community organizers, and socially conscious suburban moms escaping the kids (I'm sure I'm missing wonderful others). Sometimes I'm not sure how I manage to keep living in the suburbs when the city is still home for me after 10 years in Elmhurst, but Brewpoint certainly makes it easier.“

“This place is serving up AMAZING Cuban comfort food. It is a must stop in anytime you're in Berwyn. They're also just steps away from the train station making it easy to get from the city to Media Noche Cafeand the staff is always friendly and helpful.“

“Great food n excellent service“

“there make great refreshers“

“Yum. The food was fantastic.“

“Great atmosphere! Amazing Service! Perfect for gathering here when meetups occur! I always bring a crowd of attendees with me from Galloping Ghost Arcade here for the fur meets I run just blocks down!“

“Deserves more than 5 stars! WONDERFUL experience each time I come here. Everything made from scratch. Not just pierogi ---Gelato, soups, empanadas, tamales, pizza pie (takes 50 mins to make from scratch and worth it!!) Premium Belgium chocolates, shakes, Coffee and most recent.....160 (yes one hundred and sixty) different premium teas from around the world!!.....and more to come! They also own the tea room and book store next to the cafe. Owners are THE BEST! Welcoming, personable and humorous. Dinning outside available and pups are welcome! You can tell they have a passion for the business. HIGHLY recommend! ENJOY!“

“The cafe is awesome! Great people and always great service! They giving you the best they got and it’s at highest standards! You will not be disappointed!“

“Be very relaxed, peaceful and a nice menu to choose from👍🏼“

“I’m a sucker for good bread and the Italian sub was delicious. I’ve had two different flavor smoothies and I love them. Can’t wait to try the Reuben sandwich. 😋“

“best coffee and awesome food“

“Clean, friendly, 6 large tvs, bar snacks and great drinks. I recommend!“

“coolest coffee place in cambria staff was unbelievable will be come back great food and even better drinks“

“Great staff, quality product with less wait“

“food is always great, great variety, delicious, but especially the service is the best. my favorite for breakfast .“

“This breakfast and lunch place is the definition of cozy and homey. Mimi greets customers with a generous spirit of joy. Smiling, laughing and welcoming. My friend and I had traditional breakfasts foods, he two eggs, sausages, hash browns and toast, me, eggs Benedict. Portions were generous. My friend said his sausages were homemade and tasty. The hollandaise on the Benedict was scrumptious. The hash browns were seasoned just right and a nice relief to so many places now serving bland “breakfast potatoes”.\nAll in as, a great food experience. We will be back and tell our friends.“

“They have some amazing people working. The games are fun and the LAVANDER lemonade . wow.. Will be back time n time again 🎰“

“Went there for the 1st time last Saturday. The service and the food were both excellent. Amber was on top of everything and was very knowledgable about the menu items. Husband had a ‘skillet’ breakfast and I had the granola/berry French toast. We left very little food and we didn’t need much to eat afterwards. The food was filling and kept us going until late afternoon. I recommend this restaurant and will be back! Highland Village Texas location“

“Came for breakfast on our way home from a weekend in Chicago. It was perfect! Dolores, our waitress, was phenomenal! Her bubbly character & greetings to all the patrons was a joy to hear!
Fair warning, the pancakes are gi-normous!“

“Love this coffee shop! Easily some of the best lattes and staff in Oak Park.“

“The lemon ricotta cookies are amazing! Also Spimoni or Italian ice are delicious as well!“

“Great place to meet for coffee or breakfast, one of the few places in Oak Park that are suitable for a business conversation. So many cafes are too small, too loud, or too inconvenient to get to/park. It's spacious and has lots of room between tables for privacy. Drink choices are creative. I had the turmeric latte and egg breakfast bowl and it was delicious, very filling and freshly made. It's not a super fast place though, so don't go if you're in a hurry.“

“After driving past Elijah's in the mornings for the last few months I finally decided to stop in and give it a try (you should always try to support local). I ordered a large Black Coffee with a shot of espresso, I even mentioned to the guy making my coffee that it was my first time here and he was polite and said Welcome. (When was the last time you heard someone say welcome?) The girl behind the counter asked if I wanted anything else and I asked If they made there Scones fresh and she said yes we bake daily. I bought a variety to bring to the gig for the crew this morning. My Coffee was made exactly the way I make it at home and the Scones were still warm and made me feel like I was on Arthur Avenue at Morrone's pastry in the Bronx waiting in line for them to come out of the oven fresh. I must give Elijah's Coffee 5 stars today and recommend it to everybody and I will now be a customer. Thank you for keeping that real original old school home town vibe in a Corporate jungle of garbage we are forced to deal with in this world today. Elijah's Specialty Coffee“

“A great neighborhood find! We took our children, and both of them only ate a few bites of their shared sandwich #toddlerlife. The server noticed they didn't each much of their sandwich and banana and brought them complimentary rice and beans which they ate a TON of (to my surprise). They truly went above and beyond to ensure our family was well fed and had a great time. The live music was an added bonus. Would highly recommend!“

“by far the best lemon Greek soup and saganaki! such a gem!“

“This place is simply spectacular. I visited from out of state and I loved every second of it. I don't think I stopped smiling the whole entire time I was there! Great food, lovely coffees, incredible service, and an immaculate atmosphere. I wish I could have picked the whole Cafe up and brought them back home with me!!“

“This place is the real deal. The food is incredible and pairs so well with their artisanal and “standard” cocktails. Their standards far exceed the run of the mill standards you’ll find at typical gastro pubs. Bartenders Steven and Ira are attentive, personable, and will ensure your cocktail exceeds your expectations. If Jordyn is bringing your food to your table you can be sure you will have everything you need. She is one of the most hardworking individuals I have had the pleasure of meeting and her work ethic will leave you astounded. Needless to say I will be making several visits to my new go-to burger and cocktail spot. Way to go Tribute team!“

“I placed an order to go. Was informed that there was a $3.00 to go charge and a gratuity would be added on the order cause it was over $100.00. After I checked the receipt, $18.35 was the gratuity. I thought it would be maybe $5.00. Very disappointed. Had I known this, I would have come into the restaurant and ate there had them provide me with service. I am a senior and that was definetly not right. I've already instructed my family not to get me gift card from Maple and Jam.“

“The best coffee made by Vito Brancatto! I now have my sister hooked and will travel from the South Side to join me for the best coffee. Mr. Brancatto will not disappoint.“

“Excellent food , excellent service , clean , great menu, highly recommend“

“A very cozy neighborhood spot that is always welcoming to each and every customer. The coffee is always hot (or cold 😉) and the food and pastries are delicious. It’s a small town vibe in a big city, and you’ll want to stay every time you stop in!“

“AMAZING ITALIAN THIS SIDE OF THE MISSISSIPPI. God bless Nona & that entire family. 🇮🇹❤️“

“The food here is amazing especially regarding how many gluten free dishes they have. They have the largest gluten free dessert menu I’ve ever seen! So many delicious options that I just keep coming back. They also have a modern, but warm atmosphere that is delightful. This place is clearly a hidden gem and a must try!“

“I have not found anything that I do not enjoy. All the dessert are wonderful“

“Súper recomendado exelente atención rica comida todo rápido los precio muy bajo hay 10/10“
