    Good coffee and a delicious selection of yums to go with. The decor and atmosphere is great and non corporate feeling. Staff is super friendly.

    Great new breakfast place just opened. While we were getting my phone repaired next door. Took my family to Z's Cafe for brunch. Food and coffee is amazing highly recommended getting eggs, hash brown and pancakes combo. Definitely bring my family more often for relaxing brunch Close to home.

    We stumbled upon this adorable cafe, which apparently was preparing for the St. Paddy's day parade, but didn't close for another 20 minutes. I thought it was perfect timing, and we ordered 2 drinks, DESPITE the horrible attitude of the girl working the counter. She was not only rude, but literally took FOREVER to make the drinks. By the time we got our drinks and paid we wanted nothing more than to get out of there. It's unfortunate because it looks to have a lot of potential. It just needs employees who don't hate their lives and actually know what they're doing.

    This place is absolutely beautiful. Literally no complaints. This guy knows how to cook a great meal and is beyond friendly. Not only is the food delicious, the coffee bar is top notch and probably one of the best brews I've ever had. The prices can't be beat either .worth many visits

  • 3/5 Diane L. 4 years ago on Google
    I like the concept of an art based coffee shop. And I believe the owner waited on me and made my coffee. She seems lovely. But, I had a difficult time here because one of the regulars (they have their own coffee mugs in house- great idea) and her friend were so incredibly loud that I literally felt as if they were seated AT my table instead of two away. When I arrived, they were louder than the THREE ladies at the table between us whose conversation I couldn't hear at all. Then someone's mom came in and joined them for a few minutes. While she was there, she attempted to shush them - literally - into using indoor instead of sporting event voices to no avail. Cute place, nice concept, too noisy with only 3 tables (6 people total) in the place.

    Everything a cozy coffee house should be! A jewel in Lake Villa. And the coffee is actually good (not like the burnt rubber byproduct at that chain place). Comfy places to hang out and tables to congregate or get work done. Cool locally made art work too. Lots of workshops and events.
