Come here quite often for date night a they're one of the only area coffee shops that serves food and is open later during the week. Staff is always friendly, we love their flat breads, coffees and chais are wonderful and the ambience is great. It's become a local haunt with us!

Delightful little cafe. I'm embarrassed that it took me so long to visit after hearing so many wonderful things about it. Tucked away in a strip mall off of Peterson Road, this coffee shop is anything but forgettable. Not only is the drink menu delightful and full of delicious sounding creations, but they also have a mouth watering food menu that won't break the bank. As if that isn't enough, they ALSO serve cocktails, beer, and wine! This cafe has it all. I had the Turmeric Ginger Chai Tea Latte and it was dreamy. Highly recommend making a morning of visiting this coffee shop. Looks like a great space to work from, or hold a meeting!

Anam Cara is a gem….the atmosphere, the food and drinks, the owners and servers. It’s a place I even feel comfortable going to by myself. Grilled cheese is so delicious, and the fig and goat cheese flatbread….yum! Treat yourself and go…now!

Coffee is excellent! This place certainly has a great barista. Their breakfast options are very good too. The only thing that needs a bit of improvement is smiles. Yes, smiles. The employees need to smile, make customers feel welcomed; interact, talk, be social. With that, this place could easily be the best in town.

Coffee and food have undergone major changes (cheap coffee - cheap flatbread), as has the environment and customer service. The man in the hat is rude and racist. He yells at workers and customers, disturbing the business's once calm atmosphere. Unfortunately it's not a good place anymore, apart from the strange opening and closing times for a cafe. no consistency.

My husband and I were in town for business and wanted a quick brunch-style nosh. Anam Cara was a great find and hit the mark! Tucker into a strip mall, this cafe had a chill vibe, excellent food, attentive counter service and good prices (hard to find these days). We weren't that hungry so we split a half sun-dried tomato pesto flatbread. It was delish! It was so good and we ate it so quick that I wasn't able to get a picture. They had a diverse menu that caters to all tastes - Mediterranean, Hispanic, BBQ, Vegan, Gluten Free, lots of healthy items and sweet indulgences if you want to treat yourself! We really loved the seating options. There is a side room that is open for part of the day that has some private areas (a little lounge tucked in the front), and they can accommodate a larger party if needed. If we lived in the area I know this would be a fav "meet for coffee-spot" or lunch meeting place. Our daughters would love it too for a place to study with friends. We will definitely be back and will bring larger appetites so we can try out more of the menu.

Best coffee I've had in Lake county for sure - the querida latte is great if you like something sweeter but where the coffee still shines!
