I loved my bagel sandwich salami and egg with cheese . I chose plain bagel. The homemade chips a yummy. You order at the counter but they bring your food to the table. We sat on the patio today because it was busy inside They have counter seating also. It is casual! They have Do--Rite donuts next time read more

We ordered tea and a jumbo pretzel which came with mustard, chocolate and cheese dips. All were served quickly. Pretzel was amazing but maybe a tad too salty especially when paired with the dips. Place was packed on a Friday morning. Decor was minimalist but still gives off homey and rustic vibes. read more

The menu has a good variety of options to choose from. I ordered a 12 oz iced vanilla lavender latte (decaf), and it was really tasty. I also got a croissant, and the pricing felt reasonable for that. The avocado toast was a bit pricey, so I skipped it this time. The space itself is really nice inside, though it was pretty busy. The worker at the front was friendly and informative, which made the experience better. They also have a cute wall featuring dogs that visit, which was a fun touch. I'll definitely be back to try the bagels next time. read more

Green juice was 10/10 and fresh, flavorful, nutritious. I sipped it down. Worth the price! Great space with a nice shaded outdoor patio. Somewhat friendly service. Lots of pastry options, including do-rite donuts. It's a very relaxing and quiet space. read more

One of my favorites. I had a sausage egg and cheese bagel sandwich and a hot caramel latte. Everything was delicious. We sat outside on the patio even though it was on in the 50s but they have overhead heaters. All of the service was good too. read more

Such a cute local spot. There is easy street parking right outside with a few spots reserved for to-go ordering. The line was efficient and so was the food preparation. There are plenty of options to choose from for both drinks and things to eat. I ordered the large iced toasted marshmallow spooky latte with the ghosts! I also ordered the garden caprese avocado toast which was a decent size and had nice thick slices of both mozzarella and tomato. The balsamic was also very sweet and tasty. I spent about $16.50 before tip on those two items. Will be stopping in here again. read more

Food is fine but have asked them sub turkey instead of sausage at least 4 times now and have received sausage every time except one.

At a recent visit, my companion and I both had bagels. I didn't take a picture, because it didn't look worthy. It looked rather unremarkable and tasted unremarkable too. My friend had a breakfast bagel that also didn't look appetizing. They were served with one slice of apple and the breakfast bagel had chips. My matcha latte was superb and my friend liked their watermelon lemonade. However, the bakery case (donuts, muffins, homemade pop tarts) looked really tasty. I'll overrule my brain and order from the bakery case next time. Friendly service. Busy on a Sunday afternoon. read more

Very good coffee and food but really terrible service!! I got my sandwich but no coffee (which I had ordered at the same time). Ate 1/2 of the sandwich and still no coffee. Finally went back to counter and got my coffee. Then I realized they forgot to bring me the coffee cake I ordered. Back to the counter again to remind them. Lots of young employees seemingly not well trained. All very disappointing. read more

I love Hometown but the service is slow. 20 minutes for a coffee is too long. They need more baristas and coffee stations.

Food is always great! Service impeccable. There were no seats when we got there but a couple got up (maybe noticing me and my elderly mother?). We sat at a cafe table indoors So nice! Friendly and warm staff. Nice outside seating with heat! read more

Food is Mid at best tbh. Buzzers must've gotten hit by an EMP the way they didn't buzz. So food was sitting like an orphan duck for about 30 minutes. Coffee is okay. Hansa roasters that's located down the street blows this place out of the waters. Almost had to take out a loan for the price of the food. 1/5 stars. and that's being generous. read more

Always an amazing experience. The atmosphere is relaxing inside and out. The staff is friendly and professional. The food is delicious. The espresso has a great balance of bitterness and flavor as it should. Keep up the good work. read more

visiting from out of state and have yet to come across a good quality cafe until we came here! their matcha was perfect & i highly enjoyed my chicken pita wrap. the service was fairly quick considering how busy it was. the place was clean and lively, with a lot of goodies to choose from on their menu & in their pastry selection. located in a really cute, nice area, it's definitely worth checking out. read more

We got a Moroccan mint tea, which was really nice, it has a jasmine green flavor plus the mint, but it does seem like it's just a pre packaged tea bag. Hubby got a peanut butter smoothie which was not bad but not as thick as we would've liked. Both are a bit expensive for the size, in our opinion, but it is located in a pretty posh area so not surprised. The atmosphere was nice, well lit, ton of people on their laptops and studying. Clearly a good coworking space. You can access the cafe from the main door or back door which has more parking spaces. read more

My daughter and I happened to be in Lake Forest on this beautiful morning, and she was craving some coffee. We did a quick Yelp search and Hometown Coffee was the top rated place. My daughter ordered an iced Latte, and I ordered a Cafe Au Lait. My coffee was delicious and she said her Iced Latte might be the best she's ever had!! We both agreed this place deserves five stars! read more

Haven't been here in awhile. Got the yogurt and granola. There wasn't even 1/4 cup yogurt in the bowl. Not even enough yogurt for the granola. Really skimped out on portion size compared to what it was. Even the honey drizzle was only and can't amount over the couple tablespoons of yogurt. read more

absolutely love this place to study!! there is a huge open patio with a cover on top that can open and close if it's too hot or if it starts raining. inside, there's ample seating as well. there are no outlets outside, but there are a few scattered ones inside along the windows. this place is an absolute zoo most hours of the day, ever day. you can find seating but it is very busy. i usually get the strawberry matcha. it's not the best strawberry matcha ive had in my life, but its decent. their coffees are also great and not too strong, not too sweet. as for food, ive had their muffins before (not very good) and their açai bowls. the bowl was great, but it was rather expensive. i had a smoothie before too and it was some crazy price like $11 for the tiniest size ever. i'll never order it again, it wasn't even good. i do repeatedly come back here for the vibes and to study!! read more

Great coffee/ breakfast/ brunch / lunch place in Lake Forest. We rode our bikes there and had a lovely breakfast on their patio. Food was delicious ( we shared the green smoothie bowl) and my ginger plum unsweetened ice tea was great. Beautiful little cafe. Will definitely return when in the area again . read more

Amazing ambiance; food and service! Plus great coffee ! Just doesn't get better for a coffee house unless you go to Italy! Excellent spot. read more

We love riding our bikes here with the kids to grab a quick breakfast! Avocado toasts and smoothie bowls are our favorites!

The service was a little slow. The ambiance was nice and I loved the cold pressed juice.

This is a super cute coffee shop right off the Metra in Lake Forest. I stopped in on a Thursday just before 10am, and almost every table was full! I got a decaf americano and all day toast. The toast was delicious, and I loved the addition of giardineira! They do have wifi, so if you are looking to work, you can; however, it does get a little noisy! read more

Always busy and fun, fast service, good Food and coffees. A local home town favorite and the dogs love the outdoor box with treats. It was our dog Indy's Favorite go-to! read more

Love this place!! Have been to 2 locations and both are really good. Love the outdoor seating area at the Lake forest location. Their coffee is really good.

The customer service is top tier everyone was super friendly! I came to Chicago for a couple of days and after the first time I came by I knew I had to came back! The veggies, cheese, meat, everything was fresh! Coffee/drinks were better than Starbucks. Clean environment, the vibes were immaculate! read more

Basil the cashier, is very friendly and always starts a conversation with me. She always asks what my intentions are for the day which is such a unique and fun question! She deserves a raise. read more

This place is more convenient than others in the area due to carrying both juices and food- being time efficient when running on a time crunch. I was greeted when entered, it was not very busy, the ambiance is calm, clean and great to meet friends. However, my order was wrong BUT delicious. I had originally asked for the salami, egg and cheese and believe they heard sausage, egg and cheese? Cause that's what I got. Nonetheless, it was great, served with chips and a slice of apple definitely going back for the salami, egg and cheese. read more

When you think of a coffee shop this is not it. Very weak & poor tasting coffee! Beautiful ambiance and a little sterile. I ordered the egg sandwich ant it was all bagel no egg. Doesn't have a Lake Forest vibe. Great parking & lovely patio. Staff was unfriendly & not welcoming. Worth a visit not a return. Nobody helped you learn about the coffee blends & barista was unfriendly . Sad! read more

My two year old loves the fresh donuts, cookies, and the soft pretzel. The mocha is also great.

Accidentally placed a pick up order for the wrong location through the app & instead of giving me a hard time about it, they quickly fulfilled the order themselves & got me on my way! Super thankful for the great customer service. read more

My wife has long wanted a good juice bar in our area and this place finally delivers! Delicious menu with fair variety at decent prices. We loved everything we tried on our first visit. The place is fairly busy on a Sunday with a long line and moderate wait time for our food, but the wait time was reasonable for the traffic and it seemed to be appropriately staffed to handle it. Super clean vibe with good music. read more

Let me start off by saying I want this lace to succeed, so I probably gave them an extra star for that. The avocado toast was great! The bagel melt was average. This is a place where you go to a counter and order and they bring you your order. I was disappointed that they brought the food at one time but they brought our smoothies about 10 minutes later. They need to work on that. read more

Amazing service, hospitality, and quality. Wide range of options on the menu, for food and drinks.

Good food and fast service, despite the line being out the door almost always. Lovely outdoor eating area. Coffee is just ok. Lots of food and drink options, but disappointed there's no chicken here. read more

Okay wow, I'm still shaking from that açaí bowl. Shit enlightened my stomach. The prices here are crazy, but I know these Lake Forest ghouls can afford it. I wanna go here again but I don't have a rich uncle/cousin to buy my meal for me. Would any readers like to be my uncle/cousin? I'll put out! read more
