    Pizza Bagel
    Abby M.

    Stopped here on a roadtrip and loved this cute cafe! There was plenty of seating inside and out on the patio. The barista/cashier was nice and explained all the specialty drinks to us. The "butter me up" latte was a nice balance with a subtle butter flavor. The food was equally flavorful and made with quality ingredients. I wish this was near us so we could come regularly!

    This is the best breakfast i've had in my entire life.. I've been with my friend before, and i got the most delicious breakfast sandwich. I can't eat egg, so i asked for it to be replaced with more bacon and they were able to do it for me.. I also got the salted caramel latte.. lemme tell you- i LOVE this new coffee of theirs. best decision they could've made. the service was so sweet and they are such amazing people. This place gets 5 BIG BOOMS!!! BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM

    Absolutely adorable little gem in Crown point. The drinks are housemade including their syrups, I ordered the iced matcha latte and it was delish. The matcha wasn't the gross artificial flavor it had a nice quality without the weird dirt flavor cheap matches have. I got the lemonade for my son and it was delightful. The real lemon and lemon oil made it a sweet and tart treat for him.it wasn't sickeningly sweet. I didn't try the food but i would next time. It's a cute cottage core vibes too. Definately a nice break away from the hustle. The Barista's were very kind and helpful since I have food allergies so it's nice they were informed me when. I had questions. I also ordered the plane and jalapeno cheddar bagel both were delicious and fresh definitely worth checking out Also bonus.. pebble ice

    My first time here! It's so cute. The inside opens up to the outside patio. I had a cheddar jalapeño bagel & an iced salted caramel latte with oat milk. Can't wait to try more. The staff were friendly too.

    Breakfast sandwich with jalapeño cheddar bagel and iced brown sugar cinnamon latte

    I love Refuge so much. Their bagels are the best thing I've tasted in my 20 (almost 21) years of living. I am so thankful they changed their coffee, because now there have zero imperfections. I also absolutely love their rewards system, I get free things all the time without even knowing I have them! My favorite coffee place nearby. 10/10. Amazing.

    Get your Thanksgiving pre-order in now!!!

    Amazing pastry & bread options in addition to fabulous coffee. Very nice patio with outdoor seating for warm weather. Beautiful decor, great staff, excellent food, and best coffee around!

    Italian on jalapeño cheddar bagel
    Shadae M.

    Seriously the best bagels I've ever had! So fresh, crisp and full of flavor! Our family fav is the jalapeño cheddar with smoked salmon cream cheese! The sandwiches are beyond delicious and so filling! We had the Lox (smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers, pickled onion and tomato) and the Italian both on jalapeño cheddar and they were both so so good and huge! We finished breakfast and went with the warm coffee cake. Oh. My. Goodness!!!!! It's hands down my favorite dessert!! So moist and flavorful and good! You have to try it!!!! The kids had hot chocolate and lemonade which they loved and I had the Iced Bourbon Chai Latte and gulped it down in seconds! Definitely went back to grab another! All of this to say...get there!!! You won't regret it!

I had the Reyka and the Shrimp Étouffée (featured special). My husband ordered the Bedarra Old Fashioned and the Southern Fried Chicken. Our drinks were phenomenal. The presentation of mine was not what I expected. Loved the aesthetics! The Shrimp Étouffée was not one of our favorites. Shrimp was cooked to perfection but the rice and sauce ok, it was bland. The southern fried chicken was really good. It was flavorful and juicy. Definitely coming back when our daughter plays out there again. Nice place to grab a drink and a quick bite.

The interior is tiny but the seating options are more plentiful than it would seem! The interior is lovely and there is a beautiful mural of the lake county fairgrounds that deserves to be admired. My only suggestion would be to perhaps consider changing their television programming. Regardless of political views I can't imagine many customers want to come to brunch and watch Fox News. It makes the brunch experience feel a little too much a truck stop diner vibe. The music was nice so either eliminate the tvs all together or throw on something more pleasant. For food we went with the chicken fried steak sandwich and a Mexican skillet. I appreciate that the avocados were all very fresh! Overall it was very good. The sandwich was huge and so delicious!

I ordered a gyro and the indifferent waitress (who is always in the place acting agitated) tells me "we're out of gyros". We walked out. I used to see the owners every visit but now it appears the kids have taken over and are determined to ruin the place. We have probably eaten here 50 times or more over the years but yesterday was the last visit with these numbskulls. Right down the street is "Greek Islands"...better food, nicer people. Mainstreet is a trainwreck and the kids don't even realize they've run it off course.

We went to check out the place for a small snack because my friend's daughter's love their sandwiches. Sip has counter walk up service and then they bring you your food. We tried the blueberry Boba lemonade and split the Ewok sandwich. The Ewok is one of the more tasty sandwiches I've had in a long time. It was amazing and massive. It was very sweet of them to serve the sandwich on two plates and give us an extra side of the pasta salad. The bread was hot and crispy, and the chicken filling was moist, and it was just great. Of course it being named the Ewok might have made me a little partial since I'm a Star Wars fan. The pasta salad was super garlicky, it needed a little bit of salt, but definitely edible. The inside of this place is so adorable with all of the eclectic furniture that it is the perfect spot to go and hang out with a beverage, coffee or a sandwich. No complaints.

We also tried the Strawberry Cheesecake Hand Pie ($6.50) but didn't really care for it. We came back recently, and I was disappointed that we were given everything in paper/plastic even though we ordered our food and drinks to enjoy there.
