Somethings Brewing Downtown - Grayslake

The coffee here is excellent, and the chocolate lover's muffin was quite enjoyable. However, the service leaves much to be desired; it can feel like you're inconveniencing the staff, and they don't seem to appreciate your business. A friendly smile, a simple "Hi, can I take your order?" and a "Thank you!" would make a big difference!

I absolutely adore this café! The food, while not gourmet, is quite exceptional for a small spot like this. The staff is friendly and accommodating, which makes conversations with them enjoyable. Even though it can get a bit cramped, I've managed to find a seat every time, whether inside or outside. The soups are fantastic, and I can’t resist getting a lavender latte—it’s always delicious. I have a wonderful experience every visit. Although I haven't tasted their candies or snacks, the selection is extensive and impressive, making it fun just to browse. There are so many unique treats to discover! Thank you for being the highlight of my Sundays!

Fantastic coffee and excellent food! I've visited multiple times, and I always feel they provide a top-notch experience.

The food is absolutely delicious! The menu is quite extensive, almost to the point of being overwhelming, but I love the variety of options available. The staff is always friendly and attentive. However, it is a bit on the expensive side.

This place is amazing! They have a huge variety of customizable drinks, delicious breakfast sandwiches, and delightful chocolate treats! I just wish they were closer to the North Shore!
