Coffee Shops near Long Grove

“I met a friend here about a month ago. But before I go on, I want to preface that I'm not a big coffee drinker. In fact, if I'm gonna be totally honest, I really don't like coffee. I'll drink a mocha with oat milk and an extra shot of chocolate to overwhelm the coffee flavor and will do it hot or cold. I'll get a hot apple cider if a place has it or a good hot cup of hot chocolate. Blu Fig is nestled in the tiny Mill Shops in Long Grove. The main parking lot is already inadequate to handle everything here especially Joanie's Pizza and Broken Earth Winery. However, Blu Fig is a nice addition. The small coffee shop is on the corner when you first pull into the lot and its windows and entryway face inward to the parking area and not out onto one of the two main roads in downtown Long Grove. I arrived after my friend and ordered what I mentioned above and asked for a piece of lemon cake (pound cake). To say that both were delicious is an understatement. The mocha was made with love. Not just because they put a heart in the foam on top, but it tasted that way. They took their time perfecting my cup o'mocha and brought it to me in a to go cup with the top off to showcase their heart. The pastry was delicious and is sourced from the bakery a few doors down. It's a quaint spot with 15-20 seats. The owners (a couple) pour their heart and soul into Blu Fig and you can certainly tell. Wi-fi is available and is a great nook for reading, working, meeting friends, and to start or end your day.“

“Super cute, loved the atmosphere and the confections next door were also cute. Really relaxing atmosphere, great prices. I was very happy with my tea, and the person I came with commented it was some of the better expresso they've had.Parking: Spots are a little limited, but there's a decent enough amount“

“I stop by this Starbucks once a month or so. I always order in the cafe and service is quick, mornings and evenings. Baristas are all friendly. Jessica often takes my order and knows what I normally get which is nice. Natalie is very good at making the drinks taste good. Cafe is always clean.Oleato drinks are awful though.“

“This is a good Dunkin Donuts. The staff member I worked with during my visit went above and beyond to make my son happy. I'm disappointed to see they don't carry the chocolate frosted, vanilla creme filled donuts I've found other Dunkin's carry. I was told no branches in IL offer that.Kid-friendliness: Staff member was very kind to my son.“

“Best Bakery ever. Their products are delicious and made with care and a lot of know-how. They use locally sourced wonderful flour (I use the same at home). Staff is wonderful as well. I visit them from out of state on a regular basis because they are better than anything I have found anywhere else.Even though fresh is the best, I can also freeze a loaf and it is still great after being defrosted.Their croissants are out of this world.“

“Waitress Liana at the Samarkand restaurant is a true embodiment of professionalism and attention to every guest. Her friendliness, smile and care make visiting this establishment even more pleasant and memorable. Liana is always ready to offer menu recommendations and provide a high level of service, which makes her one of the key elements of a comfortable and enjoyable restaurant experience.“

“We love supporting local business in the city of Des Plaines! This was a gem that we found today and the coffee was delicious. The employees of River Woods Funeral Chapels had the LaVie En Rose and the Mocha. We loved getting to know the staff and making friends in the lobby. Parking was also very convenient. This will be our usual place to get coffee!!!!!! Des Plaines Local Guide“

“Kind and caring couple that owns this small coffee and tea shop. They have bubble tea as well as coffee's and teas. Always willing to adapt your drink just the way you like it. And they are still serving carry out during this difficult time with a smile and positive attitude. Thanks Chris for being there!“

“I can't believe this place has been here all this time and I only just found it. Best donuts in the area. If you just like donuts, this will certainly satisfy, but if you're the foodie type, you can tell from the flavors, presentation, and balance that these are made by people with culinary technique. Theyre not just dropping dough into a fryer. Very good and will be back.(anything less than 5 stars is a hater)“

“Spunky Dunkers Donuts isn’t just a donut shop; it’s a Palatine staple where every donut is a piece of local treasure. Their donuts are simply the best, bar none! The kids and I have made it our Sunday morning ritual to dive into their delightful treats, and it’s always a blast. Even with a line out the door, the wait is a small price for such big flavors. Do yourself a favor: try the Old Fashion! It’s a game-changer. Spunky Dunkers is the go-to place for anyone seeking donut perfection.“
