28 Best Cafes near Merrillville

“Fantastic experience and lunch date day with the wife. Enjoyed the atmosphere so much, the cat lounge is cozy not just for cats but also extremely comfortable for us humans. Food was incredibly well done and I enjoyed the drinks we both got! I’ve never met nicer staff at any restaurant or coffee shop in the entirety of the region. Will definitely be back just for them honestly. Cannot recommend enough!“

“It was my husband's choice, for his birthday lunch today and it was awesome! We'll definitely be going back! 👍“

“An intimate setting for size. I will say their menu is extensive. You could bring a diverse group here and most would find something they wanted to eat. The pizza I had was ok, I have a feeling it would have been better on a larger sized crust. The fettuccine was good enough I suppose but the Alfredo sauce was sweet which wasn't quite my thing. If I could have done it over again I would have ordered something different. The staff was wonderful which I feel like was really the best part of the experience. If you are looking for a location to eat and don't want to get tied into a set menu this place could help you out in a pinch.

Parking: Plenty of parking for the space.“

“Would love to recognize the outstanding customer service I received tonight. Amanda at customer service helped me every step of the way returning my damaged deep freezer. She had a little 5 year pendant on her name tag if that helps identify her! She took extra steps outside of her job description to ensure I left the club satisfied and happy with my return and repurchase! Thank you so much Amanda!“

“Best funnel cakes ever ! Sooooo good! My 4year old and I will come out of our way to get them because they’re just that good !“

“My experience was through the drive thru and let me say, it was great! The girl around my age, Daija, was the absolute sweetest and took her time with me at the speaker! I asked for recommendations and she delivered! I’m so excited to try her favorite sandwich. 10/10 just for Daija alone, she made my whole day. Panera better treat her right, best customer service I’ve had in long time.“

“down to earth and awesome atmosphere. the owner rocks she is amazing“

“We were a group of 9; 6 adults & 3 children looking for a more sit-down place to eat when the owner talked us into staying telling us we would not be disappointed, and we were not. Their menu had a huge variety of food to choose from, and all of us thought the food was great! I had French toast, hash browns & sausage. My husband had an awesome shrimp omlette that had more shrimp on it than anywhere else we have ever eaten that put shrimp in its breakfast. And even thought it was all packagesd as take out, there were three tables available to sit and eat. It worked for us! Great job S&G! It's a well-earned 5 star review!“

“I love coming here. the family that owns it is really nice and the food is always amazing.“

“Don't have all items on menu. Wondering how they stay in business.“

“Grindhouse is my favorite place to go have a beef bomb sándwich and a decaf caramel latte. My husband always gets a black coffee and the house salad with goat cheese, chicken, and a honey-mustard, homemade dressing. They have bags of coffee, honey, hot sauces, and shorts for sale too. Also, this coffee house always mixes up the menu if you're one who likes variety. They have cool music playing in the background and the atmosphere is perfect for an enjoyable conversation. I will always go here because I love everything about this place.

Parking: Lots of spots to Park.

Kid-friendliness: I bring my grandsons ages 5 to 16 here all the time. It's right next to Griffith Park; so you can go play afterwards“

“The workers here are so kind. He also helped me put together a super cool flavor blend for my boyfriend and when I asked for suggestions he told me which ones were his favorites so that I could give him all a try. The Thai coconut was absolutely amazing btw!“

“The staff is nice and friendly. The food is VERY good!!! I was a student at IUN many years ago and the food in the cafe did not taste as good as it does now. Maybe they have a different management/owner. It is pricey but food costs have gone up and they are paying to rent the facility and pay their employees so it is to be expected. It is a very convenient asset on the campus. I will definitely frequent this establishment.

Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options for specific menu items.

Dietary restrictions: The food is made to order so if you do not want something on your food, they can eliminate it.“

“Great food, nice little gathering place for friends and family. The staff are very kind and courteous. Everyone from customers to the cooks are great with my children. We always leave in a food coma with a smile.
Prices are good, and servings are filling.“

“Cafe Fresco is the best coffee shop in Crown Point. Employees are great and always smiling while making your delicious beverage. The owner, Breanne is one of the most genuine and amazing people I know and you should try out Cafe Fresco.“

“I came here after shopping at the Antique mall. The popcorn smells amazing everything I walk by. I got the chicken salad sandwich, which was pretty good. The bread was nicely toasted and they put a good amount of the chicken on the sandwich. The chicken salad mayo, tasted tangy, but sweet. It worked well for the sandwich. The cashier brought out the sandwich to my table, which was nice. I cannot wait to try their other sandwiches and have a beer there sometime.“

“We are on our way back to Texas and craved something sweet. We tried two cheese cakes and they are AMAZING! I absolutely love the red velvet/ cookie butter cheesecake. 10/10 recommend this place!“

“Bought cupcakes for birthday party on short notice. They made 3 dozen for me in two days. Ordered red velvet, carrot cake, and yellow cake with salted carmel ocing. They eere awesome, the hit of the party! Recomend them highky for any of your needs. Thank you for delicious cupcakes, great service, and meeting my short schedule.“

“Huge portions, great food, top notch service.“

“I love coming here! The lemon latte is the best! The ricotta raspberry toast is amazing!“

“I stopped at the gas station here in hopes of finding a winter edition redbull, but the manager here at biggby reeled me in by offering me a free coffee! It was absolutely delicious, and I also got a cup of donut holes which were also delicious! Highly recommend!“

“Everything is great at Marilyn's Bakery. I have been enjoying lunches there lately; homecooked beef Panini sandwiches, chicken salad on a croissant, plus homemade soups & deserts. A lot of food reasonably priced. Also, their homemade pies and pastries are exceptional. Support your local businesses in St. John.“

“you hungry for real great food, that's cool, me too, you should go here!!! you're welcome. staff is really nice as well.“

“I'm sorry I waited so long to stop in here!The Bahama mama refresher was so good😋and the owner is so friendly and helpful.“

“Stopped in for lunch with my daughter the other day. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was great. The food topped all expectations. The Ewok was absolutely delicious and my daughter really liked the French Toast Sticks. We will definitely be back soon!“

“The food is amazing but takes a while for you to call me to say my food is done. My food was just laying on the counter when I walked in to see how my food was doing because it was taking 1 hour.“

“My wife and I had not been here in about a year. We would get AYCE lake perch, which they understandably don't offer anymore. However, the YELLOW Lake Perch dinner is absolutely the best in the area. The filets are perfectly breaded and pan fried. We also got a side of 2 walleye filets prepared the same way. Just as good with the distinctly walleye taste. We were both in the mood for coleslaw and fries. After we left, neither of us could figure out why it took so long to go back. We had a great, friendly server (Lindsey) who was new, but she was awesome. We also got to chat with Cindy (the owner) for a while. The place is not smokey at all and not very busy for a Friday night. My only complaint is their social media outreach. I like to look at menus before I visit a restaurant. But that's just me. We will be back to try other offerings, highly recommended.“

“Cool place live music good atmosphere“
