Away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Libertyville is this gem of a coffee shop/brunch spot…read more The space is bigger than you think. There is a meeting room and back room in addition to the main space. My friends and I are there at least monthly to catch up over breakfast and great cup of coffee. You order at the counter and everything is brought to your table. Servers and the owners are helpful and attentive, and the menu has a good selection of breakfast/brunch/lunch items. If you're lucky, there will be a cinnamon roll available!! There is plenty of parking in the strip mall, and when the weather allows there is outdoor seating available.

Hardcore recommend the matcha latte and all the different avocado toast varieties. I *love* avocado toast so I always feel like a kid in a candy store looking at all the options listed on the menu. Bonus points for the cool little reptile shop right next door

The drinks were good and, and the barista's were fast! Had a lot of cool art on the wall!read more

Ventured out to try a new coffee shop today, and I'm disappointed that I did…read more In terms of location, this place has a lot going for it. And, the fact that they sell Holcomb Hollow goodies was awesome. But just about everything else was lacking. I found the staff behind the counter to be gruff and unpleasant. Everything moved at a snails pace; I couldn't believe that a simple cold brew coffee (black) took 10 minutes. The shop is very artistic and has a lot to take in (in terms of decor, things for sale, etc.). It was overwhelming. There is a lot of seating area and separate rooms to congregate in, but even in poking my head in to look around, I received looks that felt territorial and unwelcoming. My coffee was fine, but really nothing to write home about. Not at all interested in trying this place again.

I failed to take a photo of my frozen yogurt, but I did get a photo of my cookie. It's huge! YUM!

I should have stuck with the basics. What an odd selection of flavors…read more When I walked in, which is a little confusing as to where the entrance is, I was met with lots of woods and chalkboards. Very nice. The restaurant itself is huge. The entrance side has seating and the largest side is all dining area. There is even seating outside. With this much seating and what clearly looks to be expansion, I expected top notch food. As I looked over the menu, I noticed they had a biscuit and homemade sausage gravy and for $4 more, they will add fried chicken. I order and chose hash browns since the waitress (who was very good) suggested it. Additionally, I chose to go with scrambled eggs. The massive plate of food came out and I was a little stunned. It was when I took a bite that all hope disappeared. I started with just a bit of biscuit. Not a biscuit. I am not sure what it was, but that is not a biscuit. Maybe a pancake made with biscuit batter? Next, I tried the biscuit with the sausage gravy. My brain had to pause for what it really was. Why is the sausage gravy sweet? Maple syrup? Where is the spice? What is going on? Then I tried the three together: biscuit, sausage gravy, and fried chicken breast. I am so glad they provided a steak knife to cut it because it was so tough and not worth the $4. The hash browns had no flavor (likely from a bag) and the scrambled eggs were definitely coming from a carton. The eggs had that weird texture eggs shouldn't have.

Very good coffee shop, excellent cappuccino freshly and politely made and served. Comfortable,…read morepretty space with big windows facing an interesting street. In a nice hotel lobby but off to the side, with a warm fireplace. Easy parking on the street out front. Like all other coffee places nowadays, can't get espresso or cappuccino in a proper ceramic cup and saucer, which does take some of the fun out of it.

The owner runs the coffee shop himself, is incredibly kind and roasts all of the coffee in-house, so you can always count on it being fresh. This place is truly a cornerstone of the community.

Don't let the negative reviews influence your decision about whether to visit. I'll certainly keep coming back.

I've drive by this old schoolhouse a million times, but never stopped in until today. I really…read moreenjoyed my first breakfast at Red School Cafe! There's lots of parking in the gravel lot; several cute planters ring the entrance and outdoor patio. The cafe has several counter seats and maybe 10 tables indoors (there's also a covered outdoor patio with additional seating in warmer months). This is a first-come-first-serve sort of place; when you come in, you wait in line until a table or counter seat opens up. All of the waitstaff was cheerful and helpful and came around with fresh coffee a few times. I had a veggie omelet with a berry cup and sourdough toast. The veggies were cooked nicely with just the right amount of browning and flavor. There were a lot of interesting specials (country meatloaf with eggs and potatoes, for example) and the coffee and ice team were super fresh. We'll be back!

Not sure that I have much to add being that I only stopped by in a desperate search for coffee…read more If this cafe isn't the epitome of small town life, I don't know what is. Legitimately a converted schoolhouse, you get the feel of that as all. As you walk in to the dining room. There is a nice covered porch area for outdoor seating. The waitress was kind and quickly grabbed me a coffee to go. For a diner coffee, I was actually impressed by the palatability and overall just grateful to get some caffeine in me!
