“What an awesome addition to the North Side! Beautiful place to have breakfast, delicious eggs with crème fraiche, chives, parmesan fluff, griddled country bread, we got our son the grilled cheese & I ate most of it. Great ambience, it has a very open feel. We would def come back, thank you 🙏“

“Absolutely the best pancakes that I have tasted in a very long time.
If you are like me, and steer away from pancakes because they just don't taste as good as your great-grandmother's, you have to eat a stack at this cafe.

The first bite literally took me to my grandmother's table. I could not be happier with my breakfast today.

The service is consistent, the atmosphere is cozy, and.... well you know what I think about the food.

5/5 all around.“

“I work with many chambers and I must say The Winnetka-Northfield Chamber is the best. The ladies who work in the Chamber are so upbeat and always friendly. Terry has a very unique gift of guiding shoppers with retailers and connecting people with both Winnetka and Northfield.“

“I visited here on a sunny Sunday afternoon and it was quite busy! They posted wait times for how long was needed for their various menu offerings. I only had a smoothie, which was quite tasty, but the menu had many options that were quite appealing for the next time that I visit.“

“Ovo Frito is my favorite Evanston / Greater Chicago brunch spot. This family owned restaurant has exceptional food and service and a broad breakfast and lunch menu.“

“Great Food Great Staff Excellent Place Great for the community 👏 👍 🙌“

“Visiting from out of town and this place came up when searching for brunch nearby. Hostess was very welcoming and attentive. Ordered the salmon sandwich and grilled avocado sandwich as well as the kale smoothie. Everything was delicious. Really glad we got to try this place.“

“One of the friendliest spits in Chicago. The food is good - outstanding sausage, and you have to have their home-made salsa - and it's an incredible bargain, especially their breakfast "sidewalk special."“

“Amazing food. Staff was great and the owner likes Kola Champagne lol so he stocks it. Perfect way to celebrate my kids' graduations. Hopefully I can host a Cars and Coffee there. Best of luck, we will spread the word.“

“Was really happy with their cheese danish and iced vanilla latte today.“

“Fabulous food and service! Andrii was a fantastic server! Recommend the Pan Con Tomate and Croquettas!“

“Food is mouth watering delicious. My daughter and I had the veggie tostini, oh my goodness, the best Turkish sandwich we have ever had. Owners are very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this wonderful restaurant. We will be back for sure 😊😊“

“Brilliant espresso. Very friendly service. Most of the pastries left were vegan/gluten free, so I didn't try them.

Fantastic place for either a quick stop or hang out with friends. Or work on your laptop if that's your thing...“

“We love Cupitol at all hours of the day, but weekend brunch is the best. Food is top notch, service is fast, and Dylan makes our day.“

“Khepri duo Salad was delicious“

“We had lunch here today, and loved everything! Roberto, our server, was the best! Super friendly. Brisket sandwich was fab! Best potato salad I've ever had! Can't wait to go back!“

“Such a cool and unique place to hang out with friends fot coffee, breakfast, lunch and shopping! Extremely friendly and fast service too!“

“Non-sweetened almond milk for my lattes, unlike Starbucks.“

“Eddie★★★★★ customer service, always helpful and positive.

Also, the woman that happened to be on the drinks at this time made an amazing iced mocha tesora!✓

Wheelchair accessibility: Floor level, easy to enter.“

“Wow! What an awesome place. I live very close to this restaurant, but had never been in to check it out. I wish I would've found it sooner. The coffee was delicious and I had the fatta - so fresh and filling. Lots of options - vegetarian, spicy, whatever you wish for and they have a lot of gelato options too. Very kind staff and very clean place. Nice tables for sitting. I can't wait to go back to try more dishes!“

“Best pie I have had in Chicago“

“Came here today (party of 6, with three small kids) and everything was wonderful. Very helpful staff, lovely restaurant, and delicious food. We were hoping to sit outside but the indoor ambience was lovely. All of our food was amazing and came out quickly. We had a hard time deciding on how to order food for two toddlers and the waitress stepped right in with suggestions and portion sizes. It really took the leg work out of ordering food and hoping it wouldn’t be too much/too little. This is such a welcome addition to the downtown Skokie area as there aren’t many decent brunch/lunch options so we will definitely be back and we hope Don Julio’s becomes a mainstay here!“

“This was such a wonderful experience! The space is tasteful and, as in the name, cozy. Felt real. Ricky, the owner who was serving, asked me right away how my day was going — but in a way that communicated that he ACTUALLY wanted to know. And given the morning I’d had, this was sooo welcomed. The coffee was great and I loved the original names with personal meaning he had given to each pastry (one was named after his late Mama Loretta, another after his favorite jazz musician and when anyone orders it, he plays a particular song.)

I learned about how dedicated he is to creating this warm, inviting and authentic space for the community, and his fascinating backstory of working a super well paid job, then giving it up for this dream. I only wish I lived closer to this special gem of warmth and kindness in this often rushed and cold city.“

“Very cute interior and consistently kind service, but I often find the drinks lacking what I'd expect from the caliber and price point of this place. Even a cortado felt dilute and soggy, somehow.
*HOWEVER the pourover is great. Maybe just stay away from espresso-based beverages and you'll be fine.“

“Byłam z mężem na obiad w Polish Paczki Cafe bardzo smaczne i świeże dania obiadowe Polecam każdemu kto lubi dobrze zjeść! Pyszne ciasta i pączki, bardzo miła obsługa ?“

“Best coffee shop in town. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent highly recommended“

“We went here for dinner and loved it! The ambience inside and on the patio is so nice, we sat inside by the open door to the patio and enjoyed a nice breeze. I had the lemon chicken with mashed potatoes, which was absolutely superb (perfect cook on the chicken), and my husband loved the beef goulash. We also enjoyed the cheese curd appetizer and drinks from the cafe - a chai apple cider and a caramel apple butter latte, both of which were fantastic for fall. We didn’t try anything from the bakery because we were too full, but that looked delicious as well. The staff was great. Would highly recommend as a top choice in Lincoln Square. We will definitely be back!“

“EVERYTHING THEY SERVE HAS PROTEIN IN IT (which was fine for me)

Just wanted to share my experience at sweet and healthy. The service was spectacular. The strawberry banana shake was delicious. If I’m ever in the area again, I will definitely be back. Thank you.“

“Great, but pricey pastry. Good breakfast and light lunch in a very pleasant setting.“

“Great food at affordable prices with friendly service.“

“I stop there once or twice a month and everything is usually good, but I can’t recommend the fish tacos. Not good and take a long time to prepare.“

“Met for a brainstorming session…their coffee is a catalyst for sure! Great selection of healthy options with just enough sinful options to keep it balanced!“

“Very friendly and comfortable. Coffee was great.“

“Best scones! Excited to visit in February!“

“Delicious’ I had the honey vanilla iced latte with oat milk. One of a kind! 😋“

“So happy to have this place inside of our gym! All of their shakes are delicious and the staff is very friendly. They consistently give superior customer service; Ex: Jordan, the owner, knows us by name and always remembers our shakes! 👍“

“This place is nice for guys and friends getting together. I've never seen families, girlfriends or wives there. It's a place to hang out and play games like cards, bingo, backgammon. They have a small nice kitchen operated by family which is very clean. They don't have a big menu but the food is very good. They're open for takeout until midnight“
