Coffee Shops near Calumet Park

“I'm happy this Dunkin' Donuts is in my hometown because I hated going to the one in Blue Island. I've been here several times and I've never left disappointed. Usually I get coffee but occasionally, I've gotten a Coolata or egg croissant sandwich. The staff is friendly and fast. I highly recommend coming here and I undoubtedly will return. The only thing I hate about ALL Dunkin' Donuts though is that they don't bake their donuts in house anymore. They all taste like they've refrigerated. I choose not to eat their donuts and go elsewhere. Meh.“

“I don't go to this location often, but when I have, there were no issues. The food was good. Service, okay. I had to wait a long time once for a drink. Other than that, there are no complaints here. Food was the norm for a McDonald's. Cashier was nice and helpful.“

“There is such a chill vibe and multiple spaces to enjoy outdoor RN there's even a doggy parking lot. I love the family nature of this business and it is a black owned family owned business with top quality service and fresh ingredients. I just wish they stayed open longer so I can spend more money with them.“

“This is my second time here at chi tiva. I visit the location downtown first and second time at the Worth, IL location. My experience completely different from the first time around. I visit location downtown informing workers my first time how they offered to let us sample slushy flavors nice jester….they did not inform me of dosage and explain how it may possibly affect first timer. With that being said I ordered 50mg coffee taking a few sips and telling my sister she immediately told me to go back to check out and order a 10mg let them know it was my first time. I can say my experience second time around at the Worth location with Lori she greeted us and explained everything we were interested in getting letting us know dosages and tolerance level. I mentioned at the end I really appreciate her customer service and explaining super knowledgeable. I told myself I would probably not come back but this experience definitely worth coming back when in town. Thank you!“

“Cafe 53 in Chicago is an absolute gem and deserves every bit of praise it receives. I can't express how much I love this place! The moment you step inside, you're greeted with a cozy and inviting atmosphere. It's the perfect spot for a relaxed meal, catching up with friends, or enjoying some quiet time with a book. Now, let's talk about the food. The menu at Cafe 53 is a delightful mix of flavors and options. I've tried several dishes here, and each one has been a culinary masterpiece. Whether it's their delicious breakfast offerings or their mouthwatering sandwiches and salads for lunch, every bite is a taste sensation. And don't get me started on their coffee - it's the perfect pick-me-up to start your day. What truly sets Cafe 53 apart is their exceptional customer service. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always ready with a warm smile. They make you feel like a valued guest with their prompt service and genuine hospitality. I've been a regular at Cafe 53 for quite some time now, and it never disappoints. If you haven't been here yet, I highly recommend giving it a try. It's a must-visit spot in Chicago for anyone who appreciates delicious food, a welcoming ambiance, and fantastic service. I can't wait for my next visit!“

“This place is so nice and comforting, the workers are so sweet and make sure every thing is going good and that you’re satisfied. The atmosphere is impeccable. And one of the baristas was so sweet and catering to us, she was wearing a head scarf didn’t get her name. We will be going back just because of her and the servers! Amazing staff.“

“Loved the ambience, their milk cakes are amazing. I wish I could try them all but maybe next time. They serve the famous Yemeni Adeni chai but their flavour is not as great as Qahwah House. We also tried their Bischoff cheesecake which was decent.“

“Spunky shop in a gritty part of town. No inside seating and it was way too cold to sit on the patio this morning, so unfortunately I was in and out quick and didn’t talk to the baristas cuz they looked busy. But I really liked the urban hipster look and feel (and fun branding) especially given the rough neighborhood location. And they roast their own beans so the coffee was bold.“

“How they accomplish exactly what my daughter wants every year is beyond me.Last year was Hello Kitty and Dinosaurs and this year is Dinosaurs in Space.. I literally just said “I have no idea how but please help me”and they blew us away both times. I recommend them to everyone. Also, the cakes taste amazing!!!! 10 out of 10 all around. You guys are amazing!“

“The food is very very nice looking very presentable. It is a great place to take your loved one on a date or your daughter on a date. Very girly place. Looks very nice lot of pink everywhere. It’s a little expensive but everything is very nice looking and actually taste good too.“

“Everything’s fresh and expertly prepared and served in a family-run, family-friendly food gem. A real surprise are the Indian meals that you can pick up to cook at home. Beverly Bakery does the traditional bakery baking and delicious flat top breakfasts as well as anyone but no one on the south side can make Indian food as good as theirs - a real treat and a very welcomed surprise. Well-traveled Chicagoans hope they add samosas and pakora to take home to go along with the tasty Chicken Hariyali and the Aloo Gobi!Beverly/Morgan Park: start your taste buds and expand your culinary expectations! Beverly Bakery will make it happen. ?“

“This is the best coffee place I’ve tried. Their tiramisu latte…OMG. And let not even mention the adorable country style brunch tables they have. And how fun that they have these awesome events! I can’t wait to sign up to an event soon!“

“This has to be the best hidden gem for coffee. If you like the coffeehouse vibe, you’re going to love this place. Drinks are on point, service is quick, people are friendly. Looking forward to experiencing the live music and other events scheduled here. Personally I love that I can work here instead of from home. Great addition to the area. Just keep my pistachio latte with oak milk available. Haha“

“Absolutely amazing!!!! I was suffering from a hangover earlier that morning, and a friend suggested I order a Specialty drink called the “ Hangover “……AND IT WORKED, I started to feel better INSTANTLY.The whole staff looked fit and healthy which led me to inquire about the nutrition aspect of the shop. They were all so friendly and knowledgeable about the benefits of the products sold, and how to lose weight!! I will be returning!“

“Stopped for a bathroom break and got the most amazing crepes here. Made fresh to order, both the sweet and savory crepes were great. Large portion sizes, and the staff was very friendly too. Will definitely add this to our regular stops between MI and WI!“

“Shay was fantastic at explaining things. It was my boyfriend and my first time visiting and she took the time to explain each and every thing and answer all our questions. Went above and beyond with a smile the entire time. Highly recommend?“

“Overall it is good for working. I think it is worth for the pastries and coffee. I like the variation of lattes and etc, very unique. The sandwiches always come way too soggy though, for me it is the worst sandwiches compared to other coffee shops around; I wouldn't recommend eating those (my opinion)“

“I cant begin to tell you how much i love this place! Maybe the fact that i come here a couple times a week could be an indicator!This is a perfecr place for a lunch chat, a coffee date or to gst some serious homework done.The ladies are terrific and the food is incredible! My favorites are the margherita pizza, the pear salad, the bruchetta and the carmel delight latte!Nothing bad on the menu!Vegetarian options: I am a vegetarian and i always have lots of options!“

“This cute coffee shop sits inside an easy to find cafe with a decent amount of parking. They’ve got a creative specialty menu along with the traditional menu you’d expect from a coffee shop. We ordered seamlessly online and picked up a hot Bananas Foster latte, an iced The Bourbon latte, and lightly spiced Cold Brew. The Bananas Foster was absolutely delicious with just the right amount of banana flavor and spice. The Bourbon’s buttery caramel notes were perfection. The Cold Brew was one of the best I’ve ever had. Easy to sip or guzzle, the dark roast cold brew was refreshing and so smooth. Excellent coffee, friendly service, a cool atmosphere, and the heart-shaped straws made for a memorable experience.“

“In terms of service and atmosphere, it is a greatI have essentially tried their entire menu.their breakfasts and espresso drinks are delicious! I think they have a solid menu in that department. I don't like their lunches as much -- but that's just me. Everything else lovvve“

“I wouldn’t go out of my way again to patronize person behind the counter today not friendly today which ok is fine but myself and my friend had to both ask a few times for napkins and stirrers. I asked she didn’t give them, waited on someone else and then to back on her phone. My friend asked similar reaction but at least she finally gave to her so we shared the stirrer lol“

“This place is worth the stop! Whether you are visiting Pullman National Historical Park, in the area, or driving nearby, this is the place to stop for a coffee break. Great coffee, teas and other drinks, as well as bakery treats like muffins and donuts. But the atmosphere really seals the deal. The shop is in a restored Pullman executive home, right across from the NPS site, with cozy common seating areas, lots of books to peruse, and historic artifacts from the historic district. The shop raises money for the Pullman House Project, a non-profit in the same building that provides guided tours of period Pullman homes. Between the NPS location, the Pullman House Project tour and then a coffee after, it's a great afternoon plan!“

“De Mar's in Blue Island, IL is a must-visit for anyone in the mood for classic American diner fare. The restaurant has a cozy, old-school feel that instantly transports you to a simpler time. Every time I sit down in a booth it makes me feel like i can talk about nothing, (a Seinfeld reference). The menu is full of classic diner dishes, from hearty breakfast options to juicy burgers and sandwiches to homemade soups and salads. I particularly enjoyed the Tuna melt, which was perfectly put together with just the right amount of cheese and tune on white bread. The French toast was also excellent, with a soft and fluffy texture that melted in my mouth. But if you want the traditional, just order the all American breakfast, 2 sunny side up eggs with hash browns and two slices of bread, along with a cup of coffee. Everything is delicious. The staff at De Mar's are friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. They were quick to offer suggestions on what to order and were always on hand to refill drinks or answer any questions. The restaurant itself is clean and well-maintained, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you want to stay for hours. There is plenty of seating, so you won't have to wait long to be seated, and the prices are reasonable for the quality of the food and service. Overall, I highly recommend De Mar's to anyone looking for a traditional American diner experience. So if you are in the area of Blue Island this restaurant It's a gem, that I plan on returning to in the future.“

“Really nice place with a lot of drink options! I didn't realize it was also a bakery. The drinks were too sweet for my tastes but I also drink my coffee black soooo, lolI bought the mazapán and vanilla frappes, the champurrado, and an iced chai, as well as their breads, and a crepe“

“My kids and I love coming here. Employees are always very friendly, sweet and polite. It’s nice that they made it a fun little hang out spot for kids. The candy shop in back is a nice touch. Love that there are Fun items to purchase like Funko pop, candy from Japan, and more. Menu has a large variety and many flavor options for Bobba.Can tell the place is growing and evolving over time …. Would love to see another air hockey table or some other forms of games.“

“The crème brûlée Cappuccino was great ! I added coconut flavor too . The New York Cheesecake French Toast was super amazing !! It really did taste like cheesecake filling . The other dish that I got was the Chorizo Skilet which was super tastey . I haven’t had that style of chorizo before so it was cool trying it . The potato’s inside of it made the dish so much more tastey !! A little bit spicy but you can expect that with Chorizo . Everything was so homemade and exceeded our expectations. I did wait over 40 minutes for my dishes and cappuccino I understand that maybe making those styled drinks is a process and maybe might need a little more staff for the amount of customer volume and to make these dishes . But my service was good and you can see all the workers are going fast and trying . Overall cute place and amazing homemade food .“

“My first time here & I thought it was very good, good selections, I got a 4 cheese, a BBQ pork (which was my favorite) Ham & Cheese was also very good. Service was quick, prices we good as well, large selection of canned & bottled drinks. Very limited seating, 1 table & small counter looking out the window with 6 stools. Lots of folks getting take out.“

“The food is bon appetit... The most delicious soul food restaurant I've ever had in Chicago.Parking: 9 times out of 10 the lot will be full so you'll probably have to park on the streetKid-friendliness: Yeah sureWheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Absolutely recommend this place I haven’t had a donut as good since I tasted these beautiful creations. The employees are so friendly and they let me take my time to browse all the amazing options. If you haven’t tried it make sure you go ASAP.“

“I just went in there thinking it will be , I don't know, but it is like a palace of pure pleasure. The staff was welcoming and the sweets are unbelievable. Guys don't pass this place by, it is a gem. BTW I never post a review but for this I had to.“

No worries about your food, they will call your # when it's ready.Parking: Busy times you will need to park on the street.Kid-friendliness: Kids are with their parents waiting on food or donuts.Wheelchair accessibility: Doors are wide enough to enter.“

“I've lived in the area for 20 years and have seen a few places come and go out of this spot. Almendro has had the best food and atmosphere. Very homey and the empanadas are great. Pasties and salads look wonderful as well. I'll be back and we need to support this place. It's the perfect mom and pop and we really need more spots like this in the area. The Mexican coffee is wonderful and after losing the Argentine Cafe this is the new go to.“

“So Good! Vast wine and beer selection, and great intimate atmosphere. I’ve gone by myself and with others, a blast every time. The toffee cake is so damn good, it’s outrageous. Mushroom flatbread is delicious too.*they rotate the wine selection; so if you have a favorite on the menu, write it down for your notes“

“Robust Coffee is a delightful experience from bean to bite! The rich flavor profile of their coffee is complemented by a tempting array of food options. From hearty breakfast bites to scrumptious pastries, Robust's menu is a tasty adventure. It's not just coffee; it's a delicious rendezvous for your taste buds. A must-try for coffee enthusiasts who appreciate a side of culinary delight! ☕?️“

“Not a bad coffee shop by any means but a bit expensive and my jambon-beurre was weirdly cold. They get it premade from Publican but don’t heat it up apparently. The space is cramped, the poetry books are ok, and the coffee is fine. Not my vibe.“

“I’m a senior who meets seven or eight other ladies for coffee every Friday morning At the 53rd St. coffee shop. We started coming to your shop a few weeks ago and I have to tell you the customer service that those girls have on Friday mornings that are there from about 10:30 to 12:30 are unbelievable. But they’re sweet, they have great manners, their customer service skills are impeccable, and most of all they’re so nice to us. I just wanted to thank you because it’s such a pleasure coming to your store my daughter and her partner *Now coming in for coffee because I told him how good it was. Thank you it’s nice to have a place to go for a bunch of seniors just to chitchat on a Friday morning, we appreciate you, thank you so much for your staff and what they do.Regards,Helen PerrymanKid-friendliness: There’s no children involved.Wheelchair accessibility: One of the ladies for coffee in the morning is in a wheelchair, but she comes once every four or five months.“

“I usually order from this place via ubereats and besides the fact that their food is AMAZING, I want to take a moment to appreciate the safety precautions they take when it comes to food like adding stickers to the smoothies and bags to show if someone has tampered with it. I don’t see many places do that. I’m definitely a regular (even got my father in law hooked on this place). I will have to stop by in person next time.“

“Oh boy do I love a good gas station restaurant. Everything is awesome. Breakfast sandwiches made to order! Everything was fresh. My Chicken sausage sandwich was HUGE and nice and hot. There strips are better than Canes and fries made to order. This place is dangerous.“

“Went to the tea tasting with my mother and son. Had such a wonderful time from start to finish smelling and tasting all the different types of tea. Atmosphere was awesome. The owner and the workers were so friendly and amazing. I loved how us and the other tea tasters were all brought together making it feel like we were old friends catching up and drinking our favorite tea. We will be booking another tea time for sure. I highly recommend“

“I wish I could give five stars! The coffee is excellent! Café de olla, mazapán latte, cha cha latte - chef's kiss. Customer service is usually pretty great, on occasion the you get cashiers seem a little stand offish. The reason I can't give five stars is the quality of the breakfast sandwiches-brioche bun isn't good, stale croissants, always out of bagels. It seems like their Pilsen location is better stocked. Negative notes aside, I love this place and am a loyal customer for the drinks and the delicious cupcakes (please try them!).“

“Nice coffee shop on U Chicago's campus. I love that they have these huge windows so it feels like you are outside all day long. Great place to work, especially in the winter months. They have these comfy leather couches right next to outlets. Perfect.Parking: The coffee shop is inside the campus so you have to park out on 55th or in the garage and then walk over. Being nestled inside the campus also means its pretty chill inside unlike the starbucks just down the street that is always crowded.“

“I found out about this place a year ago and I love it!!! They have so many different smoothies and other protein drinks that you can get they are so good! Love there acai bowls! I work late on weekends and I don’t have time to get me something from there because they close at 2. I would really love if they would’ve stayed open a little later then 2 on the weekends ?“

“Chef Sara's feels like my grandma's house. You're received with a warm welcome and fresh food. The coffee is always strong and the food is consistently delicious. Plus, it feels like everyone that works and eats here already knows each other and once you step in, they just take you right in with the most delicious waffles and pancakes you'll ever have. You can tell chef Sara's throws love into every recipe, and you deserve some of that love.“

“Every time we go, Maria remembers us. We don't go that often which is why it tickles me. She is always so sweet and patient. The food is classic. Freshly made, never had any issues. Our fries were always crisp and hot, not dried out. Burgers are always made to order and the patties are hand made and pressed. Super thin patties with crispy, buttery edges. Yummy! The softdrinks are well balanced. My kids love getting cherry coke because it's made fountain style with maraschino cherries. We feel like family and really enjoy the food. What's not to love? We will continue to visit as long as they are in business!“

“This O.G. donut shop is classic, charming, and delicious. The only thing you'll find here are no nonsense, no bullshit, perfectly cooked donuts that make you feel good inside and out. If your feeling adventurous is the giant glazed donut bigger than your head.This shop has not fallen prey to the artisan donut trend which is more show than dough. It's just a classic delicious donut made with pride.“

“Absolutely loved my first experience at Biggby coffee:) One tip would be to download the app so that you can access the "secret menu." Myself and 4 friends all got different drinks and each one of us loved them! Staff was kind, and drive thru with quick!“

“Food options looked delectable! Trying a super cute mochi donut for them first time. Drinks menu offers so much variety! Only problem is narrowing down what to get. :-) Service was efficient. Lots of seating. Music fun, but not too loud. Really enjoyed my experience!!! Will return soon!!!!“

“This place is a hidden gem. My husband and I love this coffee shop. It's in the heart of downtown Homewood right by the Metra. The owner is very nice, and her shop is so cozy with lots of small business made products to choose from while you wait on your coffee to be made.“
