A sandwich area with fresh breads is also tucked in here. Jammed packed but cozy and comfortable. I could linger for hours. My sis and I ordered coffee and split a large portion of cherry pie. The menu of drink options is endless and both of ours were very good. She ordered a Cupid latte something and I did a drip coffee - both were great. Pie was outstanding.

Muffins from Something's Brewing - downtown Grayslake…read more This is my favorite place to get muffins. They are always delicious and huge! This evening I was walking past there and noticed that there were a lot of muffins still in the display area. There didn't seem to be any type of cover over them. Does anyone know if they still sell them the next day? Day old muffins sitting out overnight doesn't sound too appealing. Hopefully they donate or toss them out the next day.

I'm so glad I finally had the chance to visit Tala! The staff was super welcoming and the coffee…read morewas delicious. I was surprised at how crowded it was at 11:30 a.m. on a Wednesday. Some customers were there to socialize and others were camped out to work from their laptops. I snagged the second-to-last table when I arrived, and the last table was claimed a minute later. In addition to coffee, lattes, cappuccino and other similar drinks, Tala offers a small section of muffins and pastries as well as a small lunch menu. I'd love to go back and try a sandwich with my next latte. The location is odd, in an industrial area off the beaten path. But considering the crowd in there, the word is clearly out and people are flocking to it!

Needed a little morning pick me up and randomly stumbled into Euforia…read more Very relaxing atmosphere, staff is very friendly and patient with a new visitor to this caffeine and breakfast food oasis! Hard choices to be had, between crepes, bagels, toasts, smoothies and bowls there is a little bit for everyone. While not on the menu, they quickly whipped up a dirty chai (with great artwork!) for me to enjoy along my fresh and tasty anytime toast that was packed with flavor and perfectly prepared from egg, bacon, tomatoes and avocado. Definitely worth stopping in if in the area. Small parking lot on the side or street parking as well. Amole seating for you or a group of friends to enjoy a chat over a good drink or quick treat!

While in town visiting my family, I was in search of a coffee shop and happened to stumble upon…read moreDrip & Culture. Thankfully, it was only 10 minutes away, so my mom and I hopped in the car to try it out. Drip and Culture is located in the back of Supermercado Gonzalez. It's not rare for Mexican grocery stores in the area to sell hot food in the back of the store, but it was very unique to find this super cute, black-owned coffee shop located right in the back. After looking over the menu, I decided on the Ube Matcha and my mom chose the Banana Rum Caramel Latte! Both drinks were a 10/10!!! My drink had an Ube horchata base, which tasted like the perfect mix of vanilla and cinnamon. It was absolutely amazing and paired perfectly with the matcha!!! My mom thoroughly enjoyed her latte as well! Next time I'm in town, Drip and Culture will be my first stop. The shop has a 90s theme with jerseys on the wall and VHS tapes, which gives such a nostalgic vibe. I can't wait to return!!!

Drip & Culture is such a cute coffee shop tucked away and has been one of my Waukegan favorites! I…read moremake it a goal to try as many local coffee shops as possible always better than the chain stores. Not only is the coffee delicious, but you can also grab tacos and relax with a seat while you enjoy your meal. The service is always welcoming, and it really is a great family owned business. One thing I love is that the menu is constantly evolving with new featured drinks, giving you something different to try each visit. So far, it has never disappointed. If you're looking to support local and enjoy great coffee, Drip & Culture is absolutely worth a stop!

One time I got wrapped up in a conversation about vintage bags and got so many good tips on where to get the best vintage finds. It's kind of a community feel there, but you can totally have a quiet day to yourself too. The coffee is fantastic, the matcha is delicious, but listen to me... Get the cinnamon roll! You don't need to know anything else. I haven't gone when it's warm enough to sit outside but the patio furniture looks just as inviting as the inside. I could see myself spending time out there with a good book.

Pretty big tea selection, so some floral like lavenders. I got their weekly special Samoa which has coconut, caramel and dark chocolate and they were able to substitute with oat milk. I didn't specify sugar level and they didn't ask. So the drink came out a bit sweeter than I'd liked, but it's not too bad, just not as creamy or aromatic as I'd liked, coffee flavor is a little light too. But overall, very cute shop with plenty of seating including outdoor ones!

I also ordered the breakfast panini, which was super filling and packed with eggs, bacon, and plenty of protein. They even included a small piece of dark chocolate, which was a really nice touch. Would definitely come back!

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.

And then some! Everything was top notch -- the ambience, the friendliness and the professionalism of the staff, the taste and the presentation of the food, the flavor combination and the variety of drinks! And the Hunny Bunny syrniki are to die for! I haven't had such a great experience with the combination of quality of food and service on a while. I wish I lived closer-- I'd definitely become a regular. And for now I look forward to coming back and trying lunch options as they looked delicious too.

The coffee and cake were average tasting and were not all memorable. The worst thing was the price. Everything was so expensive. The coffee was $5.50 and the cake was $8.90.
