“Pomeroy is a cozy spot for French food lovers, but it’s on the pricey side. I visited with a friend; she ordered a salad with beef, and I had a salad and two glasses of wine. She had one glass. In the end, we each paid $80. It’s a bit surprising how fast the cost adds up. So, while the food and place are nice, be prepared for the price.“
“Modern and clean with a Holiday theme of Home Alone(!) - plus the food was very good. Had one of the breakfast sandwiches, all ingredients tasted carefully prepared and selected, and the service was wonderful. They get bonus points for leaning into the Home Alone heritage of the city. Would definitely return.“
“We love this place! Food is great, service is great and it’s always clean.The reason why I did not give them 5 starts is because they do not have a baby changing station!I already told them, but seems like there is no interest about it. We have a baby and it’s a bummer having to cross the street to change his dirty diaper at Starbucks.“
“Green Bay Cafe is the crown jewel of Winnetka! You feel comfortable as soon as you walk in--not only is it adorably cozy inside, but the staff are very friendly and attentive. The breakfast skillets are so delicious! The food has a homemade feel but is well worth the price and better than any breakfast I could make at home. I highly, highly recommend Green Bay Cafe!“
“Took my wife for a brunch date. Came to this cutest lil mama papa shop. Amazing Americano! Cardamom Black Tea yum! We shared one injera firfir almost couldn’t finish it. Very Delicious! Will come back with friends. If yall want really authentic Ethiopian food with homie feel. Look no further. This is our new favorite “
“I had stopped in here before to get an iced coffee and it did not disappoint , this time I went back for something new :Iced Coconut matcha latte!So delicious ! For someone who loves matcha, this has to be one of my favorites in the city!Loved the compliment too!“
“Very good brunch spot. Small and cozy but they do take reservations, so we were able to get in with a large group with minimal wait. The food, especially the Spanish omelet was spot on. The potatoes that came with the dishes was excellent.“
“The place is cozy and welcoming, the aroma inside is divine. We went in for a quick to go order of freshly baklava and there were so many varieties.Husband and I will definitely be back to enjoy more than the desserts. A perfect place for a coffee date.“
“Great spot, I came in for a meeting and had a great cappuccino and food - would have loved to do jebena but it would have been too much for one! It smelled delicious, the French bread is incredible, the frittata was wonderfully flavorful, and so was the baklava. I hope this place succeeds! You know a place is the real deal when you’re the only white folks in there XD“
“This is the CUTEST cafe. The coffee was excellent and the food was delicious (I had the garden bagel, and WOW). It was pumping when I was there and the food/coffee still came out really quickly. I think everything was really reasonably priced considering how high-quality the ingredients are. The staff were so sweet and welcoming. I had an opportunity to talk to the owners and they were just as lovely. Can't recommend this place enough - I will be back!Dietary restrictions: I'm vegetarian and the garden bagel was SO good and super filling.“

“Exceptionally tasty baked goods!Parking: There are enough spots for those who choose to dine in and they have a drive-thru who want to pick up and leave.Kid-friendliness: A mom and her 15-month old were.just hanging out so that mom could have her lunch. Both mom and baby had lots of room to sit comfortably and the big windows allowed provided kept the baby occupied.“
“We've eaten there 3 or 4 times now, each time delicious food and very nice service. We were able to sit and chat without worrying about taking up table for too long. When offered a coffee refill we were leaving and I asked if I could have refill in a to-go cup, request received with a smile. Looking forward to our next visit!“
“Everything we ordered was amazing! We want to come back tomorrow!! Delicious, creative, fresh generous portions, and great service in a fun, artful, sun filled/inspired interior. A lot of the family seems to work here, the magical realist paintings are a family member too.“
“Wonderful restaurant. Sorry I didn’t get to say “Hello” to Chef Bolaños. He was talking to some friends. We were dining there on Sunday. A wonderful guitarist playing. Perfect music for dining. Great tapas! Love, love, loved the Pulpo a la Planxta, the Patatas Barillos and the Melon con Jamon Serrano. The Mariscos Paella was good, but I missed the crispy bottom rice. Nice little place. Great menu that lights up. It’s BYOB, and fortunately there is a store across the street that has wine! If you forget to bring your own. Have already recommended it to others.“
“It is very cozy there!I love the coffee and cinnamon roll.To add that Cozy cafe also hosts performances. I have not been at one yet, but it looks like it will be my next spot for an outing in the neighborhood.And Ricky is very welcoming. Thanks again, and see you soon!“
“Great place to get lunch! I like getting the duck confit sandwich, the goat cheese sandwich, and also the green lasagna. The staff are always really nice and helpful. Food usually comes out pretty fast - I often will call for pickup and it is ready within 10-15 minutes. Really great neighborhood spot!“
“This is a great neighborhood pub! We've come here for all the different meals and have not been disappointed. As they have expanded their menu it has only gotten better. Highlights are the pies, gin drinks, and the matcha latte. It's an unexpected fun spot for breakfast on weekdays too. If we lived even closer we would be here all the time. The ambiance is a traditional British pub which we love!“
“The plating at Sweet Moon is so exquisite that I imagine a chef using a pair of tweezers to meticulously place each item to be displayed on the dish. My mother and I talk for at least two minutes about the layout and design of the plated food before diving in and being even more amazed by the flavor combinations. My favorite menu item is the Merengue Roulette, a gluten-free merengue with mascarpone pistachio cream, raspberry jam, baked almond, and whole pistachios.For such well-crafted and well-balanced dishes, the wait time is not long, usually not exceeding 10 minutes. Although the place is typically always filled with people all customers are respectful of the noise level and it is quiet and serene. Great place to work or catch up with a friend!“
“This place has the most incredible crepes, both sweet and savory. The only bad part is choosing what to get. We always go way overboard and get a couple different ones to eat as a family, but you can't help it. It's all delicious.“
“The coffee is quality. They list single origin and method. I ordered a decaf americano and it was so smooth.The pastries are also good. I ordered a kale feta pastry that tasted a bit like spanikopita just not as crunchy.Network was good on 2 of 3 of my devices but for some reason wouldn't load on the third.A but pricey but worth it once in awhile. Also a great place to get work done.“
“We stopped in one afternoon to Harmony Coffee Bar. You know what harmony is ? A combination of things or parts that forms a connected and unified whole. That just about sums up our visit to this adorable cafe. I ordered the Gold Crush Latte which is topped with Dalgona which melted into the latte giving it a slightly sweet and mellow flavor. My companion ordered an iced Gold Crush Latte so they could enjoy the Dalgona as it slowly released its sugary cookie flavor into the coffee beverage. As we savored our drinks in the pleasant and cozy seating, they prepared our Croffle, a combination of croissant and waffle, and it was crispy and buttery and caramelly. All in all, a harmonious mix of flavors and textures that added up to a very pleasant midday interlude.“
“Amazing place. ‘The best hot dog I’ve ever had’ a 10 year old Skokie resident. The food was amazing, we tried the strawberry lemonade, and the summer roast beef. The staff was beyond friendly, and so kind. Will definitely be back. Can’t wait for the full menu. Would 100% recommend Can’t wait to have lunch again this week“
“So sorry the pic tells it all.. the food was amazing ? nothing left and forgot to take a pic because when the food came out we didn’t stop eating lol ? the coffee and service was on point. Our waiter Julian paid attention to us and our creamer “
“Nice, friendly, warm welcoming Cafe. Staff was nice and lots of options on the menu. The food was really delicious and the pricing was cheap for what you get! This was my first time here and it seemed like there was lots of regulars which is always nice to see. Really enjoyed our time there.“

“OMG the hot chocolate is to die for! Like drinking a melted candy bar and served with milk and whipped cream. Just like I've had many times in Switzerland and France. Spot on! And the Pain Au Chocolat was amazing and they warmed it up for us. Lots of seating. Definitely a go-to spot from now on!“
“Perfect place to run into all kinds of people! For example people from high school who you forgot about but now feel the need to impress, bikers who don’t know how to share the road and wear obnoxious neon, and weird hipsters who are really thrilled to tell anyone who will listen that they’re having coffee in a converted firehouse. Coffee is excellent and decorations remind me of being at a sleepover in grade 4 at my slightly too secular friend’s house.“
“This is such a cute spot! We came early on a Sunday morning and only had to wait about five minutes for a table. Our server was kind and friendly. The coffee was delicious and served in varying styles of mugs which added to the homeyness and intimacy of the restaurant. I ordered the smoked salmon scramble which I ended up being a little disappointed by but I think that was just due to personal preference. I did really like the biscuit though! I think if I were to go again I'd get a sweet breakfast. My friend ordered some pancakes that looked super duper extra tasty. They make their whipped cream in-house and it was awesome. The pastries looked great too. We had a really nice time, thank you!!“
“This is the best coffee shop in town. Every single employee here is friendly and amazing. The coffee is so good! I frequent this place as much as I can afford and each cup is worth every penny. I love that I can also buy jugs of cold brew and k-cups to enjoy my favorite blend at home. Amazing experience all around.“
“A perfect environment for student entrepreneurs or just to have a coffee with a very friendly team, I visit many coffee shops around Chicago, and I can assure you that the coffee is of high quality.A negative point that is now in the past is the arrangement of the food, there was often no food on the display, and I kept dreaming of something delicious to go with the coffee, and I had no choice. After two visits, the food problem was already in the past.Normally I visit the place 3 times before posting my experience with the place, but I can guarantee that the place is ready for all types of public.“
“First and foremost, the coffee at Khepri Cafe is nothing short of exceptional. The baristas here truly understand the art and science behind brewing the perfect cup. The aroma of freshly ground beans permeates the air, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Whether you prefer a robust espresso, a velvety latte, or a meticulously crafted pour-over, the coffee selection caters to all tastes, showcasing a commitment to quality and precision.For those with gluten-free dietary needs, Khepri Cafe goes above and beyond to offer a delectable selection of pastries. The gluten-free options are not an afterthought here; they are a central focus. The careful attention to detail ensures that flavor is never sacrificed, making it a haven for those with dietary restrictions.“
“This is an immaculately clean restaurant in a small, intimate setting, that will transport you back to the Old World with all the beautful decorations brought over from Bosnia. I was served by two lovely older women, who immediately made me feel at home. I ordered the cheese "pita," which is a burek, and which came out piping hot. The Turkish coffee was as good as any I've had back home. Tip: Although Turkish coffee is served with no cream (that's the correct way to drink it), I did ask for a bit of milk on the side. Everything, including the background music, was perfect. Highly recommended. Please note that it's cash only.“
“I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I live close by so it's a good place to stop by and get lunch or early dinner. The owner is super nice whenever I stop by and he makes all of the food by order so it's always fresh!My go to is the chicken tostini, but I've had about all of the tostinis and tried the menemen. I can't say anything about the authenticity, but the taste is definitely there :)“
“Definitely a place to people watch as much as just get a coffee. It has a big, open, bright interior. Some table seating and some more lounge-like. Always seems busy but the turnover is pretty fast so I’ve always been able to get a good place to sit. I appreciate that it’s not Starbucks.Parking: If you can grab a street parking spot in front count yourself lucky. It’s hit or miss. Worst case is you have to park a block away.“
“I wanted to have an authentic polish experience with a friend and this place couldn’t be more authentic. From atmosphere to food to languages spoken, we felt like we were transported to another place. While the stuffed cabbage was our favorite, other food was good. We liked polish style goulash with pancakes, paczki (polish style donut) and rumbo (dessert with rum inside). Iced tea/fruit punch went well with all the food.We witnessed a long line form often with people buying bakery items and food to go. While we were among many who dined it was nice to be part of a busy cafe while enjoying our food. The staff were nice people and I want to come back again. Soup of the day is on my list to try plus other pastries.“
“such kind staff and warm atmosphere. amazing food and drinks and such a lovely place to spend time.Dietary restrictions: I’m gluten free and vegetarian and have been dairy free and they have so many options that work for all kinds of restrictions.“
“OMG the crepes here are fantastic! The strawberry Nutella crepe was not extremely sweet as it is usually prepared in most restaurants, it was just the perfect balance. Coffee was very very good, and my son loved the hot chocolate (he's not too picky though).I came here just to get a croissant and it was a shame that they didn't have any. However, I was so happy we tried the crepes.“
“Beautiful coffee shop with a good number of tables to hunker down and get work done. Special shoutout to their pour overs! I’ve always been skeptical of coffee tasting notes but I tried the Ethiopian udeyi and I kid you not, it actually tastes like watermelon. Awesome experience!“
“We moved to EP recently and we’re so happy to find a non-chain coffee place. It was a huge bonus that they have GF options that are really good! Muffins and breakfast sandwiches especially the Express train are delicious. The ambiance is cool and chill. The service is great. Would love to see them get a better oat milk cream.“
“I really wanted to love-love this place. Cool art deco meets art nouveau atmosphere. Smilish novelties for sale. Good enough chai and menu offerings. But man, a simple “hi” attitude and a some background music would go a long way in this joint. After all, today is the greatest…. (P.S. awesome Chop Suey sign!!)“
“I had the creme brulee brioche and it was really good. I want to come back for the quiche and the croissants and maybe buy the black truffle butter too. The staff are warm.I called because I accidentally left my cardamom bun to go on the table and they just made me come back and gave me a fresh one.I appreciate the service and the ambiance.“
“The date cardamom latte, I asked for oat milk, was redolent of spice, with a cute heart in the foam. The croissant was soft, rather than flaky, but I'm not complaining because there wasn't a crumb left to be had. Solid offerings, friendly staff, efficient service.“
“I love this cafe so much u will always catch me here studying or having lunch w friends after school. The atmosphere is amazing I love the vibes and the setup it’s so earthy and peaceful. It gives studio ghibli cozy cafe and the food is super hearty and filling. Also love their drinks menu they have so many delicious drinks like milk teas, loose leaf tea, boba, smoothies, and milkshakes. Their deserts are also so good I will 100% reccomend this place.“
“The bright and spacious dining area exceeds the typical cafe experience.The food selections are numerous. The coffee is of robust quality and not watered down. We had the Salmon Toast and the Waffle combo.Later, we had the Turkey Club and Strawberry French Toast ?Many choices of cheeses and meat/meatless sides.All were mouthwatering delicious and presented appetizingly. The service all around was A++.Like I said, this place is much more than the typical cafe.It was also nice that every table has a fresh carafe of water.?We're looking forward to returning many more times. The food was so yummy ?“
“The pie here is wonderful! We went on Pi day, knowing it was gonna be very full. I had pre-ordered and prepaid a traditional apple pie. It was one of the best apple pies I’ve ever eaten! I love it!The only reason this isn’t five stars is that, when I went, they wanted me to wait in the 20 minute line to pick up my pre-ordered and prepaid pie. This is just a simple management issue. It can be improved.But please do eat this pie!“
“Really the one and BEST card store in evanston, after moving to a newer and bigger location its bigger and better than ever! Pokemon, magic the gathering, lorcana, and many board games here + all your needs for cards and regular single cards. Their snacks and drinks are always stocked and the food they make is spectacular. Great place to stop by, sit down, and play your favorite games with friends. They also have a discord server with news and many friendly people inside! Many tournaments for pokemon and magic happen. As im writing this im in a tournament right now for pokemon! Stop by and support this local card shop.“
“I like it...The service is good very, the team is inviting. The ambiance is quirky, rustic, and whimsical. The menu is creative. The dessert options are so good. I had a carrot cake and I had was excellent. The focaccia pizza was flavorful ... the doey but decent ... Breakfast sandwich was awesome.“
“A friend wanted to eat here before it closed. Food was okay. Service was okay. Space seemed a little misused, but hey, they are closing after a 20+ year run. Something in the last couple decades must have worked out. The host stand was a little off-putting. There were 3 of us for dinner and the host made it abundantly clear that there was a 90-minute time limit on the table. She made sure to tell me that at least 3 times. Girl, I get it. The restaurant never once filled up, we had a 150.00+ bill and tipped 30%, so I'm not really sure what the issue was...but we were out in 90 minutes.“
“Put this on your list of places to check out when you need to be nourished body and soul. This whole place feels like a warm,familiar hug. The vibes are welcoming and super chill. There's a counter with a few stools, some tables and chairs, or a couch and chairs to relax on. Got a hazelnut latter, which was amazing - not bitter, not overly sweet. I devoured the kale/sweet potato/quinoa bowl and freaking loved it. My partner enjoyed a breakfast burrito, which came with a side of fruit. Great service and ambiance. Will def stop by next time I'm in the area!.“
“I come here every now and then to grab a Vietnamese coffee and walk around the area, but I feel like the ladies no that work here aren’t necessarily the most friendliest. I enjoy local coffee shops where you’re greeted to start your morning, but this isn’t the type of place where I get that good energy.While the place is cute with plants by the windows, I also think the lighting inside is a bit dark and one side is natural light. I don’t know.I do enjoy the drinks that this place whips up though which is what I really praise it for.“
“I don't get why more people don't frequent this cute and underestimated coffee shop in the heart of Hubbard woods ! The coffees are delicious. I love the chai latte, and the prices are reasonable, for the coffee is as well as the baked goods.. staff is kind and helpful“
