Pizzeria Deville and Prairie Espresso make a great combo on Friday nights and Sunday mornings! Amazing food, drinks and atmosphere!
Gourmet coffee and fun barista
My review only reflects the coffee shop experience.
Tasty oat chai! Beautiful outdoor seating. Wi-Fi was a challenge, but worth it for the views.
The coffee is great since they use Dark Matter beans. The people are nice and the venue is great indoors and out. The only issue is that they are not reliable in being there during the hours they indicate being open. About half the time I show up on Sunday afternoons they are closed. I arrived today at 2:00pm and the place was locked up tight and no one in sight…
Love the space and the coffee……
Local coffee spot with beer and wine. Beats Starbunks any day.
Beautiful spot but every time I go the drinks taste terrible—not to mention extremely expensive. Staff have the strangest attitude— unknowledgeable and indifferent with a sprinkle of frat boy. Pass.
I like the idea of a Starbucks alternative but their espresso/coffee beverages do not taste right. They lack the clean, roasty smooth finish one expects. And their checkout process pressuring tips from customers is rather heavy handed. Really wanted to like this place but not impressed.
Have traveled here three times during posted business hours and they’re not open each time.
5. Hansa Coffee and Wine Sellers
Address: 24 E Scranton Ave, Lake Bluff, IL 60044 , Lake Bluff , Illinois , United States
So happy to have a new place for coffee. ..and not just coffee, but the best coffee you can find anywhere. Lake Bluff is lucky to have such a great business in the comunity. I just wish they could have found a larger space,I have a lot of business meetings there
Best coffee shop in the area. Gourmet beans they source and roast themselves. Free refills. Support local business and get your coffee here…you can taste the care and heart.
Love this location of hansa! Right smack dab in the middle of downtown lake bluff. Great coffee, great snacks, friendly staff
Great artisanal coffee at reasonable prices. Very nice atmosphere two thumbs way, way up.
Pour-over was great, the best one in Lake country. But the place itself is OK… There is another Hansa place in Libertyville and an atmosphere there is much-much better
4 stars for now, but might change next time I visit. I brought my dog to walk the area and they had seating outside. I asked my husband to go in and get a sweet latte and breakfast. Got a maple latte which is reasonably sweet, I will order again and ask for a extra sweetner next time! My standard drink is a white mocha from Starbucks so im use to very sweet. I didn’t get to go inside so I can’t comment about the atmosphere, but the barista upon seeing my dog came outside to greet him. Very nice staff. The reason for my 1 star off was due to non-speciality sweets. Like a plain flavor for picky people like me, they had various healthy gluten free options like blueberry lemon, pumpkin something, chocolate zucchini, but I like chocolate, cinnamon, lemon poppy etc very traditional. I appreciate the healthy alternative just a simple muffin person. Next time I’ll go in and sit, maybe update the review.
We all want The Daily Grind true history of Lake Bluff back in town they may be in Lake Forest and less known but I don’t have any fond memories of this Hansa place and likely never will 1 star
awful service, very rude. For local coffee in Lake Bluff, Prairie coffee is the way to go!
How disappointing. Coffee was sour. Heat seemed like it wasn’t on so it was freezing inside. The all metal chairs didn’t help. No menu posted. Wifi was slow. Don’t understand how this place has such high reviews
6. Picardy Piano Studio
Address: 60044, Illinois, Lake Bluff, Pembroke Cir , Lake Bluff , Illinois , United States
My 8 year old son has been taking lessons from wenlin more than a year and has made noticeable progress. Wenlin is a really responsible piano teacher who cares about the student, also very kind and patient. My son always looks forward the class every Friday.
Wenlin has been a great teacher for me as beginner. I knew nothing about playing piano. She is very patient and understanding. I highly recommend her to anyone out here looking to learn music at any age.
Wenlin is a patient, encouraging, and well experienced piano teacher. Her experience helps me learn faster than I would expect and her knowledge makes the journey really enjoyable.
