“This dunkin donuts is the biggest one around in my area. Has a great and bigger variety of donuts and all of them taste. I do wish though that they bring back the oreo cheesecake donuts. Please do bring them back. The coffee also is well done. I do notice that other dunkin donuts makes the coffee differently and some I don't like but this one makes it perfectly.“
“I love this place! Drinks and food are always amazing. They often have seasonal drinks. Lots of milk alternatives available. Everything is clean! The staff is super kind and helpful. The playlists are 10/10. Everyone I bring here feels the same. Would definitely recommend.“
“Stopped by on a Friday night. Wait time was about an hour which isn’t too bad (can’t make reservations in advance). The burgers are *to die for* and come with a large helping on fries on the side. The other entrees and sides looked great too. Absolute must-try in Chicago.“
“Bang Bang has been a neighborhood favorite of mine for years! Tastes like it's made with love. The biscuits, the pies, the sides, you can't go wrong! I usually get a scratch biscuit with sweet, a side salad or side of candied bacon, and a slice of pie to go :) Delicious! Great patio space for the summer!“
“Stopped in here for the first time and was wowed with the best horchata latte I've ever had. The owner was so nice, and you could tell how much thought went into the space. Breakfast Burritos were labeled with protein amounts, there were cute little trinkets, and there's even printing available! Seems like the perfect cafe for working from home if you're looking for a quiet spot.Can't wait to try the crepes and empanadas the next time I swing by.“
“Vaca's Creamery - The Windy City's Best Ice Cream SpotAs a lifelong Chicagoan, I truly appreciate a good ice cream shop. And Vaca's Creamery, located in Wicker Park, is the real deal. This cozy spot offers over 40 inventive ice cream flavors that rotate frequently based on seasonal ingredients. On my recent visit, I indulged in a scoop of Salty Caramel - made with Nutella and flecks of sea salt. So decadent!The staff is extremely friendly and they clearly take pride in their craft. I had some fun chats with the owners who shared how they source dairy from local farms. It's nice to support a small business committed to Chicagoland.After treating myself, I enjoyed my ice cream while strolling along North Avenue, taking in the funky shops and colorful murals that give Wicker Park its edgy vibe. Vaca's is also just a few blocks from the iconic Buckinghams fountain, making it a perfect post-Millennium Park treat.Whether you're a lifelong resident or visitor checking out The Chi, do yourself a favor and experience what makes Vaca's Creamery worth the wait on those hot summer days. You'll leave with a cool scoop and a full belly - even on the windiest of days! I'll be back again soon for another taste of home.“
“Funky one-of-a-kind coffee shop located within a collectibles and record store mashup. Friendly animated and outgoing baristas, bright colors, silly decor, retro furnishings, and indie pop rock music. Very kitchy and cheerful. Fun little place.“
“I decided to order and give them a try and it was definitely worth it. Everything we got was full of flavor. Half an order was enough to fill us up. The quesa ropa mixed extremely well and the sauces were fantastic. Will definitely recommend and make this a regular spot.“
“I really really loved this brewery. It's the perfect spot for a bunch of nice drinks with friends or coworkers. They have an amazing selection of beers - My favourites were the Pickle Beer and the Azadi! While the pickle beer sounds funny, trust me it is very interesting. I also had a lovely stout. The general vibe is like most breweries, easy to chat with friends, nice music and good seating. Definitely going back here again.“
“check this quaint place out and try on of their fresh pies on rotation paired with an egg sandwich and old fashioned root beer float (or any flavored soda). or maybe you want something quick like a cortado (in a glass cup!) and a scone. mmmm blueberry scoooon.breakfast snackfast fastsugar - they have something for you“
“This place is a total experience! The food is delicious, the decor is artsy and beautiful, and the owners are absolute gems. my family and I went for the first time yesterday and had the BEST time. we came for some quick pierogi but stayed for the ambiance, warm welcome, and fantastic conversation with the owners. This cafe is charming beyond belief and we will definitely be back. This is the perfect place to stop in with some friends or loved ones when you are out and about in the neighborhood. I guarantee you will want to come back again and again.“
“Logan Vegan easily has the best vegan Ice Cream I've ever had, and the owner John makes it himself which I find even cooler.It's coconut based, but doesn't taste coconutty at all. The taste and texture is just like normal ice cream. I'm lactose intolerant and used to just take a bunch of lactaids when I go to Jeni's ice cream but now I just go to Logan Vegan and I'm good - haven't been back to Jeni's in months. My personal favorites are the mint chip and cookies & cream.“

“I had a latte here and I wish (now looking at the reviews) that I would have ordered some food ?These lattes are so delicious.The vibes of this coffee shop at very pink but also very cute and not too pink. Theres street parking around the coffee shop.I went on a Saturday morning and it wasn’t too busy.I can’t wait to go back and try some foodFor more reviews follow me here on google or on Instagram @audrey.pulliam ?“
“I frequent this place all the time and always have a great experience. The food is delicious (specially the crapes and chilaquiles). The coffee and matcha is always on point. The dogs love the pup cups. The staff is so kind. I love their new outdoor space. Just a solid place.“
“Super recomendado, comida es extraordinaria, deli - deli , servicio, ambiente, la tienda, postres. Todo, todo. Fuimos mi nieta y yo desde Mexico. Nos encanto.Si algun dia vuelvo a Chicago, Cafe Beograd es el primer lugar a donde voy a ir. Saludos desde Mexico.“
“My favorite coffee shop around! The owners are super friendly, take the time to get to know you, and they really care about the local community. They also make some of the best dang lattes and drinks (better than Dark Matter, Intelligentsia, etc.). They always have great pastries and snacks on hand as well.“
“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.“
“Great little neighborhood coffeehouse with friendly staff working there. It’s a great place to get a cup of whatever and hang out. Nice relaxing atmosphere. Wish they have few large sofas and coffee tables set up to truly turn this coffeehouse into a place to chill.“
“Regular here. I've been inspired by the message of HFTD ever since they did a presentation at my school. I had wanted to come here for a while, but only got the chance about a year or two ago. Since then, I have stopped by nearly every weekend. The coffee is excellent, the people here are absolutely wonderful and always open to chat, the ambience is impeccable. The staff are some of the kindest, most welcoming and accepting people I know, and I'm so happy to call some of them my legit friends. Major shoutout to the manager, he's a great guy and does a fantastic job running the shop (hey man it's Addy how ya doin') If you do stop by there is a drawing of the cafe that's behind the bar. I drew that as a commission (shameless self promo heehoo) Definitely stop by if you're ever in the area. Coming here was a great decision for me. If you're in the mood for great coffee for a great cause, look no further, and remember that "it's okay not to be okay"!<3 you guys!Addy“
“The cafe is small but super cute and v aesthetic I had a banana crepe to-go and a small latte, super delicious! ? I hope they add more of a variety to their menu soon like something Latino ?? They speak Spanish which is very helpful since my dad only speaks Spanish. Will definitely be back ?✨“
“This was a hidden gem to me. It is a great sunlit spot for everyone in the village. This felt welcoming and warm. Let me tell you about the coffee, spectacular. I felt like I was back in Paris! The only draw back is too many choices and all delicious. Plus the staff knows they are the best…thanks Kelsey (who is my new bestie ?) for the info about everything being good, you were right!!“
“This is my new favorite spot in La Grange! It is located east of Noodles and Co. on Calendar. It is quite small, but a great place to pick up healthy smoothies and bowls. Most things are dairy free, or vegan. I particularly love their soups! Try them out. The staff is also extremely friendly.“
“Nice place but they kind of cheat you out of the cold brew; when ordering it black, they will pour less than half a cup, fill it up with ice, and then top it off with water. I like the vibe of this place but there are too many other places in the area to get coffee that WON’T water it down right in front of you.“
“I be doing doordash n uber eats, I've been getting orders from there for a while, today I decided to order me some food got me the steak jibarito that comes with arroz con gandules and some sauce on the side n let me sayyy it was delicious, I even got me the chicken empanada n I used the sauce from the jibarito on it n omgggg sooo good. I even got a Pina colada n omg heaven. And the service was awesome everyone so nice and also lots of things to look at while u wait they have a lil boutique. Totally recommend will be coming back“
“Wow! Went for the first time based on a recommendation. My chocolate experience was transformational. This is my happy place. Had some chocolate bites and then a flight with the Koval, Mexican, and Bittersweet. Spectacular. Bringing friends next time. Can't wait!!“
“Very friendly lady (reminded me of my grandma) in the front to greet you. Cute little local coffee shop. With great prices after COVID especially. Most coffee shops around Chicago area have raised their prices so was nice to spend less. Obviously i support small business' raising their prices to survive. That's life. I ordered a dirty chai and it was great! Great coffee. However was a bit sweet but that was my fault for rushing to the bathroom and not talking to the kind lady about what sweetness I wanted. ALSO the bathroom is very CLEAN. It was like a home bathroom. Please others keep it clean as well :)“
“Can’t say enough great things about this place. The word that immediately leaps to mind when I think of it is…comfort. It’s a comfortable space with a very relaxing vibe. And old school coffee house vibe in many ways (and that’s a HUGE compliment in my book).“

“I've driven past this place often for the last few years but never visited. I did for the first time a few days ago and have been back a few times! I love the vibe, the inside is gorgeous and cozy, and the patio is dog friendly. Adam, the co-owner and roaster, is a lovely human and easy to talk to and its obvious how much he cares about his craft. This is one of my new favorite spots on the entire north side! The baked goods were also tasty and I sampled my friend's rosemary lavender caramel Latte and it was so good! much more understated than the title might have you believe. A hidden gem of the Northside.“
“They have an amazing customer service.The place is a cozy, clean and very nice.The food can be made better, I guess.They have delicious pastries ☺️Just a feedback: the bacon was a little burned. (need to put less salt in the eggs)The rest of the food was delicious.Love it!♥️“
“The Delight Of Having CROFFLE Yummy ? The Taste Is So So Good , Their service is 10/10. It has a nice environment inside where you can just hang out with friends, play games, and to study! Love it here! …Very Good ? Keep It Up GuysLove Ur Food Drinks And Everything“
“I adore this little spot! I’ve been coming here since I moved to the area and drag along anyone who will listen lol the food is unreal at decent prices for the quality and quantity! Their coffee is always delicious as well. The service is truly what keeps me coming back though! They are so sweet and always remember me when I stop in for some breakfast. They really make the entire experience for me personally. I am forever a fan of caribella!Vegetarian options: They are always willing to modify“

“I love coming here before my weaving class. It's small and bustling but has a relaxed, friendly atmosphere that invites one to sit and enjoy their coffee before you get on with your day. The coffee is well made and the pastries are light and tasty.“
“Excellent addition to the Irving Park/Albany Park area. I tried the prosciutto & mozzarella sub and it was very good, pictured is the 9 inch which was plenty for one person. Reasonably priced. Nice service. Charming cozy spot to eat in. I will be back!“
“This place carries a huge variety of magazines, including in foreign languages. That said, my favorite area to browse is the wall of books on Chicago; the various neighborhoods, unique bits of history, architecture and on & on. The cafe area excels in its own right with coffee & pastries - even vegan options. Enjoy a great cup of coffee and live music on weekends. Just a wonderful place.“
“The food is authentic Italian and is delicious, especially the Rigatoni Con Sugo Di Carne!You can dine in to enjoy pleasant atmosphere and friendly, attentive service.It's in the center of a strip building between other restaurants that look alike so it's kind of hard to notice. In fact, I was told about the place and I live six blocks from it and drive by it almost every day.I have not tried the pizza since the Rigatoni is so good. If you like genuine Italian food, try it. You will return!Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchairs look like they can roll right in. It's all ground level.“
“Was craving boba tea and tried this place out today. Pleasantly surprised with the place and how simple and cozy it felt. Tried their Hokkaido with cheese foam and it was great - a bit too sweet but overall it was delicious. Do wanna say that it is a bit on the pricier side in comparison to other boba shops. Going to try other drinks from here in the future. Overall a good experience and no complaints.“
“Wow, this place is AMAZING? Great service, hopping atmosphere, and every single one of our dishes were delicious. We will be making this establishment a regular breakfast place during our Chicago visits! Food ordered was: Breakfast burrito Croissant Sandwich Buttermilk pancakes with a side of crispy bacon!“
“I love this coffee shop. They were friendly, they knew me by name, and their coffee and specialty drinks are tasty. I also really enjoyed their Avacado toast. It was absolutely delicious. It is refreshing to go to a locally own coffee shop, that has a wonderful atmosphere, and great prices too. I highly recommend this coffee shop to anyone in the area.“
“Nectar is a really great local hidden gem for healthy eats and drinks. Great place to work remotely and kind staff. I always enjoy grabbing a Green Smoothie before my commute to work as well, great way to start the day! I’m definitely a returning customer.Update: Coffee here is really good as well!“
“Discovered this place on my commute to work. I love the convenience of street parking right in front. I love their english muffins and my go to drinks are a hot london fog and the jasmine lavender refreshment. Has been my go to stop every morning before work.“
“I’ve been going to Addis for the past 7 years and rarely skip a day… What drew me in was the very best tasting pour over that I’ve ever had and what keeps me coming back is the family feeling: from the friendly crew behind the counter to the local residents who make Addis a must have part of their daily routine, this place is well worth a try. I guarantee that once you try Addis coffee, their amazing waffles, avocado toast, Ethiopian chechebsa, turmeric lattes etc… you will be hooked!“
“One of the best coffee roasters in the western burbs, and definitely my favorite coffee shop to work from. Their signature and seasonal drinks are great, plus this location also serves cocktails. Highly recommend!Parking: Parking is ample, but can be a bit tricky due to the layout of the building.“

“Such a cute cafe! If you’re looking to replace your Starbucks because if the boycott, then this is a great ? ?? friendly place to go instead!My only wish is that it had more available seating. I’ve never been able to snag a seat since people come work there all day and never leave. Maybe putting a time limit on people would be beneficial, because they buy like one coffee and stay 5+ hours. I know that’s just how cafes work tho so no fault of the workers there!!- Alternative milks are available- has 10+ flavors for syrups and fully customize ur drink- the matcha is decent quality and tastes good- the vibes are super cute“
“I've known for a long time that I can get a great cup of coffee in a pleasant and upbeat shop at Perkolator, but today I learned that they're also a woman-owned business on their Instagram page, so I wanted to hop on here and say, thanks for the great coffee and service, Perkolator. And also thank you for highlighting being woman owned. You rock and I'm celebrating your success today and always.“
“Great little spot to pick up a bite, a coffee, and read/study/ or work for a bit. The food was delicious but a bit on the smaller side for my taste. Nothing to hold me back from visiting again. I definitely recommend if you are in the area. Check it out!“
“I go to this Dunkin almost every night on my lunch break. Well this one time I went during the day and I ordered my usual Butter Pecan signature latte with cream and sugar. (The guy on nights make it perfectly. When I come to the drive through he know it's me) lol. Well on days I forgot to ask for the cream and sugar, there were two ladies on days one of them made my latte already and I asked the young lady could she add cream and sugar. She tried to tell me that I can't have cream and sugar because it won't taste right. I stated to her that I order this every night and never have a problem. She instantly remade the drink with joy. I could tell her co worker had an attitude and didn't want to make the drink again. Moral of the story they do an exceptional job and SOME of the employees go above and beyond.“
