My mocha latte was delicious. It was extremely busy during the morning, I was given the wrong buzzer so I waited a while. I ended up going to the front and getting my food at the window. Minor mixup, but overall nice environment! It's a vibe. read more

11 am on a Tuesday morning and the place is packed. For over an hour these three girls that were together took up three separate tables to do their school work, draw on their iPads and sip a drink. Somehow this isn't right. Maybe if the ownership cut off Wi-Fi after an hour, the girls might get up and leave so that people who want to sit down and have a lunch may find a place to sit. read more

The slowest service for a coffee shop I've ever seen with the most insufferable customers swarming. Can't imagine how this would place took over a town let alone all the suburbs. Don't come here if you want a cup of coffee or a quick pastry. Only come if you want to waste you're whole day waiting read more

We had two toasts (Mexican and Greek), one turkey blt wrap, one matcha and one americano. Toasts had rich flavors, especially the Mexican. Coffee is good. Service was fast and friendly. It was crowded when we arrived at 2 pm but still no wait to order and food came quickly. Seemed to me like mostly locals. Nice atmosphere with good people watching. read more

Nice place to have a coffee with friends or just hangout by yourself. Nice atmosphere! Service was nice. 8oz fresh juice was about $10, and a bit costly. But I treated myself for a cup of yummy juice. Wish they had a bit more Healthy bakeries since I prefer gluten free food. read more

If I want to drink my cappuccino inside, ask for a ceramic mug, get told yes, then tip the employees, then wait 10 minutes, I expect to recieve what I asked for. The employees here cannot handle the volume of customers while keeping the quality of their products and service up. read more

This place is so obnoxious. Snotty employees who won't even smile at you and have absolutely zero sense of urgency. The most annoying, self-important clientele taking up entire tables with their one laptop so they can check Facebook. The entire café is crowded and cramped and there is no signage indicating where to wait or pick up orders, people are constantly trampling all over each other and stumbling over chairs and tables. The multiple employees handling what appears to be the pick-up area seem particularly apathetic and unengaged in their work, spending minutes having long conversations with each other only to briefly pause and read the receipt for each order multiple times before finally registering who it belongs to and buzzing their pager. Food is okay, coffee is strong, prices are too high.. Just not worth the annoyance. read more

This place is so cute. The staff are nice and attend to you. My chai latte was delicious. The cookie was great - soft on the inside and super chocolate-y. The dining area was kept clean. There was someone going around cleaning all the empty tables inside and outside. Overall vibes were nice - it wasn't loud. Some music playing and people talking. They even have a little "biscuit bar" cart outside with dog treats for anyone with a dog passing by. The only hiccup was that they ran out of cream at the coffee station but it's almost closing time so we didn't want to bother them with it, but I'm sure they would've gladly given us cream. read more

I ordered a latte and scone to go. The pastry was tender and delicious. The place was crowded but the line moves quickly and their process is really orderly.

Cool place in downtown Glencoe for coffee and breakfast. Hometown is less expensive than it looks. It's certainly not cheap but surprisingly affordable for this fancy ass suburb. For sure people want coffee. They can also get fruit bowls and avocado toast. A pretty crowded place at breakfast. It's hard to get any work done here. This isn't a good place for that. Anyway, it's worth coming here for the coffee and food. The coffee is pretty typical and may actually be the least interesting thing. It's about $2 for an espresso. Of course, then add some for non dairy milk. Besides breakfast, it's also open at lunch. I got the Harvest Kale Salad. It's $11 for a ton of stuff. Fresh and healthy. This is mostly kale with a mustard dill dressing, topped with pumpkin seeds, quinoa, red cabbage, and sweet potatoes. It's like eating a harvest. This is for the quality actually a good price. Good value for what you get. It has coffee along with bowls and pastries. There's a few things for vegans. read more

First time here & loved it! We ate outside - tables are definitely hard to come by as it's so busy! I had the berry bowl and it was the best smoothie bowl I've ever had. Inside is cute, and they have a large pastry display that looks incredible. Very reasonably priced, and the ingredients are fresh and delicious! read more

Here's what you need to know: As much as I'd like to give this cafe a 5 star review owing to the ambiance and customer service, the food just doesn't rise to the level. All the food items are about serviceable but none are delicious. The outdoor and indoor areas are very welcoming and well laid out. Good music and decor. Service is very friendly and the energy of the patrons is lovely. read more

One of my favourite places to get coffee. Great dark roast blends if you like your coffee that way. Specialty drinks are also very good but you want to go early if you don't like to wait. They can get pretty busy especially on weekends. They're pretty good about posting wait times on a sign by the door. Their pastries are good, fresh, but might not wow you. Service is friendly. Kind of like the clean white washed look to the place as well. There's ample seating inside as well as outside. Since I was attacked by too many cicadas when there last I chose to sit indoors otherwise outside is nice. read more

When you walk into Hometown there was this warm comforting feeling of home. The staff greets you with a smile and makes suggestions based on what you like. We started our morning with a coffee & matcha latte (both of which were delicious!) and shared a Apple Almond Toast! . The sweet and sour taste from the Granny Smith apple made us want more because it felt like it wasn't enough! It was super light but also just enough to fill us up. One of my favorite parts is in the Chicagoland area, we just don't know what kind of weather we'd get. Outside of Hometown in addition to their seating indoors, they have heated huts that have comfy lounge chairs and a tv! Hometown is located in the heart of Glencoe so we were able to walk around to enjoy the boutiques afterwards! It's a great place for you to pop in and get a refreshment and a quick bite to eat, or if you want to bring your computer and sit down to get some work done. read more

This is an adorable spot in the quaint downtown area of Glencoe. The inside is bright and airy and there's plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy on a beautiful day. We stopped in for an array of drinks and a snack but plan on returning for breakfast. There was a handful of different baked goods by the register that looked too good to pass up, so we grabbed the s'mores cookie to split. The cookie dough was great and it had bits of tasty milk chocolate and scorched marshmallow. A winner for sure! For the drinks, we preferred the smoothies and juices over the caramel latte and would highly recommend their tropical escape, strawberry Orange banana smoothies as well as the immunity booster shot. read more

This spot reminded me of Tatte Bakery in Massachusetts with its fast service and sensationally good food!! Originally my sis and I were just looking for a cuppa coffee but saw the pics of the food and just had to try some. I got a pumpkin spice latte to which was mega tasty and my sis tried a hazelnut cappuccino, nice and hot. Their baked goods are abundant - the display case had me feeling some type of way lol the menu is huge! I changed my mind a few times and settled with the bacon, egg cheesy bagel melt. We don't have many bagel spots in the south so to enjoy a well made bagel was a treat for me. The side of chips were good, just the right amount of salt and oiliness. I liked how they added an apple slice too, definitely would prefer more apples less chips next time. Seating can get packed but there's outdoor seating as well with some spots having heat lamps. Learned there's a filtered refill water station so was happy to see that accessible self-serve option. So glad I could try out this spot, an absolute delight and very fast service. read more

Cute place! Food is amazing! Service was quick and easy! I really liked the environment and open lighting and seating!

Like many others in the world I'm currently quarantined with a busy job and 3 crazy children. I"ve never needed coffee so badly so a big shout- out to the Rubins (the force behind Hometown) for keeping me caffeinated. I'll admit that my guilty pleasure is the Starbucks nitro, but have come to love Hometown's nitro and cold brew over the past few weeks (which seems more like years). And even more than their coffee I love their food. The berry bowl has become my favorite and the silver lining to having to eat it at home is that no one sees all the seeds that get stuck in my teeth. I also love all the local products they sell...my new favorite being the everybody eat sea salt chia chips. My apologies if no one else can get there here since I keep purchasing them all! One of the owners, Lou and Julie, seems to always be there working alongside their staff who are taking all the proper precautions of wearing masks, social distancing, etc. They are no longer open for walk ins, but you can grab your order from their massive window or they'll run it out to your car. Their easy to use app also makes it easy to order ahead. read more

Cute place for coffee and breakfast / lunch! I loved the outdoor seating and thought the staff was very nice. I ordered a matcha latte, which was okay although it had clumps of matcha at the bottom. For food I tried the berry bowl and caprese avocado toast. Both were good, but somehow lacked a bit of flavor. I wasn't wowed by my meal although I very much appreciate the health-forward slant. read more

Love their food and drinks. Tad bit crowded but still worth visiting. They have the variety of things from coffee to pastries to sandwiches.

Very busy and trendy cafe with modern decor. We looked forward to a nice lunch since our recent positive visit to their Winnetka location. We ordered a banana espresso smoothie, a latte, salmon and caprese sandwich. The smoothie lacked flavor as it was over-iced, the sandwiches used a thick slice of bread which dominated the entire flavor profile. The salmon was fine, however, the mozzarella on caprese was rubbery and old. There is a reason for serving thin slices of crispy sourdough bread with caprese. It does not absorb moisture as fast as thick half- toasted bread, and it allows the caprese to be the star of the dish. Also, there is a reason to use fresh mozzarella instead of the white rubber which is currently on the menu. The service was fast, and the latte well made. Also, the balsamic was pleasant, and basil fresh and bright. The execution made for an unpleasant experience overall. We'll travel a little further south to get a better bite at the Winnetka location. read more

Seems every 2 years I review Hometown lol. Good as ever. Enjoyed my yogurt and granola (see pic), delicious, if not a slightly small serving size, loved all the fresh fruit and sweet honey.
