50 Best Cafes near Willow Springs

“Thank you for amazing service. Between the food and coffee you always have something delicious. The environment is warm and inviting making you feel at home. Thank you for having your space as a same space. I had a wonderful time.“

“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.“

“Very clean and cute place. We tried some milkshakes, boba refreshers, iced coffee and mini pancakes and EVERYTHING was absolutely delicious!“

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

“Great coffee and atmosphere“

“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!!“

“⚠️ Update ⚠️

They no longer sell boba here, it's just a slots place and I'm guessing a bar. The lady there just asked us if we were there for boba and told us to go to the Thai restaurant (Bodhi).

So I stumbled across this place back in May before they had their grand opening. I don't think they were actually quite opened just yet but the staff was nice enough to let me and my sister in and order. Unfortunately they didn't have any boba that day lol but I didn't miss it at all. I was so happy to hear that they only used alternative milk for the drinks since the owners are lactose intolerant. So that right there earns a extra star for me. While I didn't get to try all the options this will be my newest spot to come and enjoy wherever I need a boba fix.“

“Lovely place, very nice folks working there. Great coffee, yummy banana bread . Honorable mission. Go there.“

“By far the best sandwiches in southwest burbs. Besides that, you have to try their soups and fresh bakery treats. 5 stars all around!“

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

“Amazing. No other words needed.“

“I ordered them from uber eats for the and it was so good I needed to leave a review… what do you mean I can order GORMET chocolate covered strawberries to my door?? Their chocolate is out of this world. Juice mixes are refreshing. The croffle thing changed my life. Insanely fresh fruit.
I will probably order from this place weekly. And when I’m broke and fat, monthly (to feed Mother Nature) at the very least. Please never close“

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

“Please is perfect in all aspects.“

“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.“

“there make great refreshers“

“Sweetest people work there and the food is great!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Had the spicy chicken sandwich it was a hit services was good and pleasant environment owner very down to earth and is a veteran 💯“

“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.“

“Stopped by for the first time this morning. I had the most amazing smoothie! If you haven’t already, you’ve gotta check this place out, it’s a hidden gem.💜 Brittany tops it off with her kind, professional service. She creates the peaceful, pleasant atmosphere that makes me a repeat customer 😊“

“best coffee and awesome food“

“Yesterday I took the Sourdough Breadmaking Class with Chef George at The Ancestral Oven and I just pulled an amazing loaf of bread out of my home oven 24 hours later! Chef George provided all the necessary instruction and supplies - including a lively starter - for students to start their own sourdough journey at home. The class included hands-on experience feeding the starter, as well as folding and shaping the dough. I had a great time at the class and can't wait to return to try out the breakfast and lunch menu at The Ancestral Oven Bakery and Cafe.“

“Best Breakfast/Lunch in Town!“

“Had a lovely Valentine’s Day brunch here! No notes! everything was absolutely phenomenal. The baguette was one of the best I’ve had. Incredible jam and butter to go with it🙂 If I had so say something the soup could’ve used more salt but I could’ve just asked and they’d happily bring more“

“I came upon this café with my boyfriend a while back and I have to say, its the perfect mom and pop breakfast/lunch café. Located in a quiet quaint strip with ample parking. During the summer they even offer outdoor seating to those that would choose. Mimi is always on top of her customer care and knowledge of the menu. You will never have an empty coffee cup and you will always leave in a better mood because of her warm and bubbly personality. That kind of positivity is contagious! Even on slightly busy days, Mimi and her staff work very hard to learn their customers and welcome them back like family. Its very enjoyable observing how warm the staff is to nrw and returning cutomers. This is my favorite breakfast nook now and I know it will be for you too if you truly appreciate a family home-cooked atmosphere <3“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Pure breakfast perfection. The food is fresh, hearty, and cooked with care—fluffy pancakes, crisp bacon, and coffee that never stops flowing. But the real magic is the service: friendly, lightning-fast, and genuinely warm. It’s the kind of place where every morning feels like home. Five stars, no question.“

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

“Love their food and drinks“

“I honestly thought this place was a coffee shop....but I guess in a way it really is. But it's a cozy mini casino. The vibe is really comfortable....and it's unique. The have cheap drinks....and free coffee, tea, and snacks. It's a must go.“

“Never, ever! Too much drama and GANG activities!“

“This is my second time visiting melt and dip, but the first time visiting this location in Palos Park.

I must say, I was very impressed with everything at this store from the decor, cleanliness and organisation to great customer service!

The Dessert and tea we ordered were also delicious.
The quantity is pretty generous, so make sure you’re sharing a Dessert :)

It was great to see the owners talking to the customers and getting their feedback.
That was a very personal touch to their customer service and much appreciated these days…

I’m definitely going back again to enjoy one of their desserts!“

“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.“

“Friendliest staff around. Always get a warm, genuine greeting when I walk in and have a smile on my face when I walk out. And the lattes and almond croissants are great too.“

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

“Thanks for the vegan offerings. My family and I enjoyed our meals very much. Super tasty!!!“

“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!“
