They regular menu is amazing per usual. My boyfriend and I love this place. Recently we purchased the frozen lobster mac off their new menu and let's just say it was not up to their standards. The portion was on the smaller size for the price but if it was "the bakery" quality I would be willing to pay the price, sadly I was mistaken. It lacks any flavor, there were only a few small pieces of actual lobster in the "lobster Mac and cheese" and the cheese sauce has the consistency of soup. I am aware they have a new chief so I hope they can tweak this recipe and or add to it. read more

I love this bakery. The food is delicious and the staff is super friendly. I always manage to grab a donut as an extra treat as I am leaving. I left Chicago two years ago to be closer to family but I always stop at Beverly Bakery when I am back in town. Hi to all there! Miss you!! read more

First time here last Saturday when two of my girlfriends and I arrived hung over and ready for coffee and carbs. From the signs in the window, it appeared that pastries would be our only option, as they advertise homemade (and a generous selection of gluten free) doughnuts, muffins, breads, etc. I was pleasantly surprised to see a concise selection of eggs, omelets, pancakes, potatoes and breakfast sandwiches. The first cup of coffee was standard, but then the owner walked over to give us a refill, and it was amazing! He described it in detail, talking about Guatemala, etc. I was very grateful that he was so friendly and informative, but I have to admit, I had just a few hours sleep, so I didn't process much of it! Anyway, incredible coffee from that batch! The homemade hashbrowns were real potatoes, not frozen. They were cut, boiled, then fried with lots of seasoning, so the outside was crispy and the inside was soft and waxy. The pancakes were way better than average, and the food in general felt very fresh and homemade. The owner spoke with us about his use of organic ingredients, and as a side note, there are no peanuts in the whole place, in case anyone has allergies. The owner walked my friend over to the refrigerator to choose some gluten-free products to take home. Staff was super friendly, which more than made up for the sometimes slow service. It was super relaxing and cozy, and I will be back very soon! read more

$28 breakfast for two people. We ordered: French Toast Bacon Smoked salmon Benedict w hashbrowns Lemon danish Apple Juice Cup of coffee The french toast was decent. French Toast doesn't come with anything. They charge extra for a side of bacon (2 pieces). The eggs benedict was decent. The hashbrowns were horrible. (Extremely dry) I took the lemon danish home and i haven't eaten it yet. Actually it's a quaint little neighborhood place. I really wish i would have liked it more. The people working there were very friendly. I don't really drink coffee and it's a little pricey to come there just for breakfast. If the lemon danish wins me over then i'll be back to try other pastries, but if not i'll pass. read more

Had breakfast for first time, went to try because of all good reviews. I had banana pancakes, hashbrowns and bacon. My boyfriend had milk pancakes, sausage and 2 eggs plus hashbrowns. Everything was freshly made, tasted good, hashbrowns are cubes of potatoes, well seasoned. Other than everything was fresh, nothing stood out as "OMG". Got some donuts , NOW they were really good, fresh, soft and taste way better than a dunking donut. But if you are looking for a great priced place, This is not it. With only 2 of us eating, we got a 46$ bill, that's before donuts. And that's because EVERYTHING is priced seperate. I mean EVERYTHING!!!. I would probably not eat here again, unless I was craving something. But will go back for donuts. !!! Lol. If you are on a budget, I do not recommend. If money is not a issue, go for it. read more

This place is a gem! I enjoy coming here for the variety offered. Sometimes I'm plant based and it's easy to find something for anyone I'm dining with. The service is consistent and the food is delicious. The turkey sausage is flavorful and cooked to perfection. read more

I had to select at least 1 star when I would've chose none! I wanted to enjoy time with my girls on my birthday and ended up waiting an hour for our food while other patrons were served. I would've thought the food would've been spectacular since we had to wait so long. WRONG! They deleted my feedback from Facebook so I decided to write my feedback here on yelp. read more

Best cafe on the southside. Awesome coffee and yummy treats! Havent tried their breakfast yet cause I always fill up on scones and my favorite Peruvian roast... Smells delicious though. The place is packed on the wknd. Overall, delicious treats, coffee, nice small family owned business. I hope they open up another shop closer to Palos or Orland... read more

Why do I love this place?!? Because when you get there at 7:10 and your favorite doughnut is not our yet, the owner comes out from the back with the most beautiful longjohn ever! Love the food! Love, love, love the people! read more

Beverly Bakery & Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

So this weekend, we stopped back in to the Bev Bakery for breakfast. After having a very nice breakfast and on my way to pay the bill, I stopped to check out bread. I was thinking i needed something good for toast (because I LOVE toast...I know, weird). And as I was looking, the owner said he had loaves fresh out of the oven in the back...so he brought me a loaf of Italian STILL WARM!! Mmmmmm sliced it and packaged it and wow was it fantastic!!! Yet another reason to love this family owned place!! read more

Coffee roasted in house! The day I went, it was wonderful. I could have sat in there drinking it all day (assuming my heart wouldn't explode from the caffeine). I passed a very dreary winter morning here last month eating eggs and potatoes and sipping coffee and reading a book; I don't live in this part of town, but the server seemed to know everybody else that came in and the atmosphere was cheery and warm and a nice break from the January going on outside. I don't know that I'd go exceptionally far out of my way to stop in here (it's a long trek from West Town), but if I'm anywhere on this side of the city, I'll certainly be treating myself to some more of that coffee. read more

Best breakfast on western ave these dayslove the portobello mushroom Benedict the best thing is the laid back atmosphere read more

Beverly Bakery & Cafe - Best coffe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I love this cute little bakery and cafe! Always get the Portobello Benedict, it's delish! Donuts to go anyone?!

THIS place, is EXACTLY what a neighborhood coffee house and restaurant should be. Always fresh coffee, delicious food, GREAT service, and best of all, an affordable menu. I am here all of the time, and I try something new each day I am there. I would highly recommend pretty much any of their pastries. There's something about a good, buttery, donut dunked in their Honduras coffee that I just cannot explain. Their food, their service and the coffees are definitely the real deal! However, parking can be a problem, try to get there early to avoid that. read more

Love the drink options as Beverly doesn't have many good coffee locations. Great food but really wish it was open later. Closes pretty early at 1pm. read more

This place was really cute! I loved the vibe and feel of the entire bakery. It was pretty busy for a Wednesday morning too! My fiance and I got breakfast - I, eggs benedict, him a skillet. Our food was good - not spectacular - but tasty. The coffee was great, this is definitely a good place to get a good cup of coffee. We got some doughnuts on the way out and they were okay, I prefer DD's vanilla long johns to theirs, but they were still good. Overall, food gets 3/5, but since I loved the decor I gave it a 4/5. read more

If I was ranking solely on staff and coffee (the cafe) it would be higher. The staff is very "local" and the cafe has a real family and friends vibe (like "we only hire family and friends" vibe) Chicagoan you know what I'm saying... Where you can see the diversity is in the coffee selection. I love the "blues" blue mountain and blue moon. I've not seen a better selection in a suburb/outskirts anywhere. The food is theoretically exciting but I've never had "my best breakfast" there. It doesn't match the cafe's range and diversity. It's on the boring side of ordinary. Which is disappointing because in a monotone cultural desert like the south side; Beverly is the closest thing to Hyde Park; which is the closest thing to Lincoln Park... Anyway, if they opened early for coffee and a pastry It would be awesome. Maybe a coffee/bakery food truck! I'll go back. It's local but I wish they did BYOF (Bring your own flavor/food) because I could match that dark roast Bali coffee with the crab cake & grits from Wishbone, with the pancakes from Flavors and sweet potato hash browns from Harvest Room... read more

Starbucks what? I always wanted to go in and give it a shot. The last time I ventured in, I was with someone fussy who didn't have an affinity for donuts, muffins or sweet rolls like I do and was too cheap to buy something. But this time was different, I went up to the display case and saw all the yummy selections available. I went with a blueberry muffin and a cup of Brazilian coffee. The muffin was absolutely delicious and the coffee was nice and smooth. So good because there is nothing worse in this world than coffee that tastes like it's filtered through a dirty gym sock. I will rank this cup as one of the better coffees I have had in awhile. After the first cup, the owner came around with a second pot of Ethiopian coffee. He was very informed and went into the whole process of how the coffee beans are brewed, etc. I love it when the owners have an appreciation for the product and not just shoving out to the customers. Overall, it's a really great family run business. I gladly will be back when I'm in the area. read more

The best cafe on the South Side! I do not live in Chicago anymore but I still miss them! They make amazing coffee no matter what your preference. The owners daughter actually makes the best cup but for that you have to go on the weekends or during school holidays. Their cupcakes are fantastic especially their chocolate with butter cream icing. My newest fav thing is their Cinnamon sugar twists. They never have very many and they melt in your mouth so make sure to get their early. Ordering from here is easy and they are super flexible. I have gotten cookies in the shape of pocket protectors and they made it happen really fast. Eating in is another option. They have a really nice menu and they are always looking to add things. I like their pancakes but I am boring and pretty much come for the amazing coffee. Its a great local spot that serves great coffee. Does it get any better?? I miss it every weekend. read more

High as hell. I had to get my own high chair from the back. My pancakes were really good (Blueberry) and salmon eggs Benedict was ok.

This place was great for a quaint dining experience. The staff makes you feel like you're coming in to Gramma's or an old time friend's place. They have an array of coffee that will hit any coffee lover's pallet and the quality of it you can taste for sure. If you're not sure what kind you would like to try that day, you can even ask them for the style you want (sharp, strong, smooth, etc) and they will pull up a match you will surely enjoy. The food is clearly made then and there and service is quick. They don't waste time when it comes to food and take it seriously. I'd highly suggest stopping by this place. read more

See all

Love it! Small town feel, great food. And the Blue Jamaican coffee is the best. Eat breakfast or lunch. Run in for coffee and a donut. Check Facebook page for specials. read more

I went there for carrot cake muffins, which I love. They only sell basic muffins and pastries. Very dim and dark inside. It looked real gloomy. Not a homey feel at all. Wouldn't go back. read more

Great local business that supports local causes. Coffee is always spot on, doughnuts and all bakery to die for. I HATE going out for breakfast, but concede to going if we go here. Family run, so you get a little entertainment there, especially when they are irritated with each other ;). But seriously folks, great coffee, eats and at the right price. Also, a great community member. Love #shoplocal. read more

Day after Christmas and was headed to "Wolf's Bakery" only to find out it was closed. Why don't places list that on either their website or Facebook? Grrrrr. Not all customers are local and we travel far to your establishment. Needed some baked goods and someone in the area recommended "Beverly Bakery". Once I found it I was very impressed with their selection considering they are a small place. Got a variety of doughnuts and some chocolate chip and walnut cookies. Everything was very, very good. The people who were having breakfast made it very tempting to sit down myself and sample "Beverly's" breakfast dishes but I didn't have the time and I don't think I saw an empty seat. I don't know that I will get up there anytime soon but it's good to know that they are there. read more

Great breakfast with an awesome bakery case. We went there early Saturday morning before a funeral when we arrived unexpectedly early after driving to Beverly from the far North Suburbs. Eggs Benedict and omelettes both first rate. And the wait staff kept the coffee coming without having to ask for re-fills. Charming small town feel. (And we would not have found this place without Yelp!) read more

I don't get out here as often as I'd like, because it's not on my way to anything and requires a special trip. That said, I've never had a bad experience here. It's a warm and cozy place on a cold and dreary day. The donuts are tasty but need to be bigger. Really like the danishes, love the Benedict with salmon! The hashbrowns, not so much: they need to be crispy and shredded but not dry, and theirs are none of the above. Hint to the chef: perhaps better to have a nice side salad, then, instead of hashbrowns, yes? Just a thought. The coffee is acceptable, but then I think Starbucks burns theirs when roasting, and coffee isn't why you come to a bakery-cafe in the first place: it's the food, which is generally very good. Love the bakery goods, and they're the main reason I come here -- that, and it's a friendly place for a jolt of caffeine and something sweet on a gloomy day. If it were in my neighborhood, I'd probably be here a lot more often, so I suppose my diet is safer this way ... but I strongly encourage others to try it. read more

The food 1 pastry I had was good the service was awful. I wanted to find out more about pastries I didn't get any answers I felt as though they thought I was going to rob the place. I would love to revisit to try other goodies but I don't like the unwelcoming atmosphere. read more

My all-time favorite breakfast place! I have been going to this cafe for over 3 years and I'm never disappointed! My favorite thing about this place is the coffee! Their coffee is phenomenal that is why I am there quite early to beat the crowd! Their regular coffee is fantastic but their lattes are super! read more

This is a place for coffee lovers! Oh they have good food and pastries(lots of pastries to choose from) but the coffee is the real ya-dig! I purchased the Ethiopian and the Bali Blue Moon. Love love love! I can't stop drinking this stuff! read more

OK coffee..... Their breakfast is not so good cuz everything is so bland and dry! Their chocolate frosting donuts r awesome !!!!!!

Best. Coffee. Ever. I was served Kenyan Coffee and it was divine! They also have Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee! Very cutesy and a needed break. read more

The food here is absolutely DELICIOUS! I grew up in Beverly but don't live there now so every time I visit I HAVE to go to the Beverly Bakery for breakfast or lunch. Everything tastes so fresh and flavorful. read more

I was in there getting a few coffees and morsels for a visit with an old friend. It was not my first visit but I am not a regular (I do not go anywhere for coffee or donuts regularly). I knew I was not a regular, so did they. The 2 ladies behind the counter almost made me feel like I was holding up the line while my things were packed up. I took my whole order to go, part of that was 3 coffee's and I wanted the creams and sugars on the side as I was not sure what my friend and her mother wanted, so I said that and she abruptly hands me a bag and says "here, you put your creams and sugars in here". I do not mind doing that but the way she said it was odd. Now I have my tasty treats packed up, I have my creams and sugars and she is finishing up with the coffee. The small coffees do not fit into the carrier with out popping off the lid if you are not paying attention. She was not paying attention and the lid fell off. It spilled and I said "oh, the lid is not on all the way to which she then reached over the counter. grabbed a lid and gave to me after trying the first one and told me to put them on. I did put them on but again, the carrier and the small cup are not matched up well so when you put them in the bottom of the lid gets knocked off fairly easily by the center of the carrier. I have been here before no problems except I know the donuts are expensive, but they are good and not something we can get around here so ok, it is nice to have here. The coffee really is delish and very reasonable. I work at a small, family owned store of a different variety and regulars and non regulars are not looked at differently. I definitely felt the cold vibe from the older ladies behind the counter when I came in and ordered more than one or 2 things like the others did. I am not going to stop going but be pleasant to all customers please, do not make me feel like I am getting in the way especially when I am spending 4 times as much money as the quick in and out commuters. read more

I'd come here everyday. Best cafe in the area for sure. Soothed my northside soul.

The folks at Beverly Bakery were wonderful and friendly during the South Side Irish Parade. A police officer along the parade route tipped us off that beverages in lidded containers (like the coffee sold here) wouldn't be confiscated, so we dropped in to pick up some coffees (it was really cold outside, anyhow!). Everyone working was friendly and pleasant despite the (most likely annoying) crowd descending on the bakery, and the bakery treats were delicious! read more

My son and I went to eat breakfast this morning at the Beverly cafe n food was delicious. Val the waitress was nice and told us how the bread n donuts are made fresh everyday. We will be returning!! read more

Their baked goods are somewhere between too dry and just okay, and their breakfast selections are pretty good. The prices are a bit high to make this a regular spot, and it's really not a place where you can linger over a cup of coffee, but it's pleasant and the service is friendly. read more

This place is great! As soon as you walk in someone is asking you if you need help. If you look like no one is helping you then you will be asked again which is nice. They all wear smiles even when they are busy. You walk in and feel at home. They say thank you and you feel appreciated. I had a chocolate cupcake and asked if they had any without frosting, the young lady went in the back to check for me. And they did. It was scumptdiliumptious if that's a word. It was so soft and melted in my mouth. It had a great flavor, not like those "designer cupcake" places like sprinkles, magnolia bakery etc. This will be my place to get cupcakes for any occasion. I ordered a dozen cupcakes and they turned out beautifully. Picture will be uploaded. I love this place. Please stop by and get your sugar fix. I also tried a mini bundt cake which was fantastic. They have other pastries as well that I'm scared to try because I know I will become addicted! read more

Beverly Bakery & Cafe - Melts in your mouth! So darn good... - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

C'mon denizens of Beverly and Mt. Greenwood. There's a world beyond the bubble! Stopped in for a treat. Purchased a muffin and pecan roll (no real options than that), shared my purchases and waited for comments. Both items were no better than what you get from a grocery store. Dry, tasteless pieces of slightly sweetened bread. read more
