    What happened to the smoothie ? It was super thin . I asked and he said it's never had yogurt in it but I remember a smoothie consistency. I'd go back for a coffee but skip the smoothie . I see people eating the sandwiches so those are probably a safe bet . Just miss how great the smoothie used to be and definitely skimped on the ginger . Inside is cute with a few comfy chairs

    Blu Fig is an adorable cafe with plenty of character and a lot to offer. Seating is tight, and limited, but my friend and I were able to find a spot for brunch at 10am on a Monday over winter break. The price tracks with other cafes in the area, with my total being $22 (plus tip) for a sandwich and a smoothie. The sandwich itself was delicious. I love anything pickled, so the addition of peperoncini and picked onions hit the spot. The smoothie, honestly, didn't have much flavor ... it was like sipping on green ice. Not worth the price, in my opinion. They offer 21+ beverage options, and the presentation of their lattes and coffees are on point. I'd definitely visit again, as the staff was nice, the atmosphere is cozy, and the sandwich was good, but perhaps I'll be making a different choice in drinks.

    Came out to Blu Fig Cafe after seeing their amazing reviews to enjoy some coffee. The shop is tucked away in a scenic area of Downtown Long Grove. They had a decent amount of seating inside as well as tables/chairs outside to enjoy the weather. They offer a variety of simple breakfast food and sandwiches as well as coffee and tea options. The girl working the counter was very to the point and not very cheery. I ordered the 12oz Rose Cardamon Latte which lacked having much flavor. They used purchased syrups but wish it had more of a punch. They open air roast all their coffee beans but my coffee was either a darker roast than I'm used to or something gave it a more burnt taste. The rose petals are cute but annoying to drink around. My husband got a Chai Latte which used Tazo concentrate and was basic. Our two drinks were about $11 which was great value! While my experience wasn't ideal, others seem to thoroughly enjoy so don't count Blu Fig Cafe out!

    Loved my strawberry and banana smoothie. This is a great cafe for lunch, coffee, or a sweet snack. The service is always great. The cafe is cute and there is a section to sit outside as well when the weather is nice.

    A very quaint cafe in the historic long grove town. Love the vibe, although there were just so many menu boards, we couldn't really figure out which ones to look at. It's nice that they were able to substitute with oat dairy-free milk options. We tried black coffee, Dubai chocolate latte, and highway to heaven (cardamom rose) latter. All were pretty good but pretty light in terms of flavor. The black coffee was more roasted/burnt than we anticipated but it wasn't bitter or overroasted so we were pretty happy with the flavor. I was hoping the Dubai had crunchy strands inside, it didn't. It's more like a darker version of hot cocoa, but didn't stand out. The cardamom rose latte wasn't bad but a bit light and watery on the flavor also, for my preference. The fig nut your day bagel was pretty good, balanced flavor and texture but can get pretty heavy after a while. The plant power sandwich was not bad either, with the hummus and greens (arugula and cucumber). Pickled onion was good. Overall doesn't stand out much but not bad for a local cafe. They do have a few interesting options we wished we saw earlier, like their seasonal salads. Although we might have to wait until later to try those given the cyclospora parasite outbreak in the Midwest!

    Adorable coffee shop tucked away off the side of the road. Great and aesthetic outdoor seating, I am eager to come back in the spring to sit out there when the weather is nice. The inside is relatively small with a few tables but its homey coffeehouse vibe makes it a cozy place to visit. I always get their meatalicious sandwich, it's a perfect harmony of flavors with the pickled onions, pepperonchinis, and the Calabrian chili! Must try. There are also a wide variety of drink flavors and options. There were so many I wanted to try! But I landed on the strawberry matcha latte.

    Delicious coffee and food with a great view in the parking lot! There's a decent amount of seating both inside and outside, but it def gets busy and can be hard to grab a seat!

    Cute place and great location in Long Grove. Arrived early for the Strawberry Festival and popped in for a quick coffee. I tried the Hearty Smoothie. It was heavy on the ginger, which wasn't too tasty. My friends had coffee and a pistachio cappuccino. They liked their choices. I thought the logo on the coffee was a nice touch!

    Great iced coffee and muffin. Banana bread wasn't overly sweet. Solid coffee shop. Would go again!

    Lox and Bagel
    Matea P.

    Oh my gosh. I am still over the moon about the decision to come here. You really have no idea, Blu Fig Cafe is truly phenomenal. I came here without setting any expectations. I ordered the Cappuccino, Lox & Bagel, and the Classic Breakfast Bagel. The Classic Breakfast Bagel was a simple choice, but DELICIOUS, warm, and comforting. Then you have the Lox & Bagel, which was outstanding. Each and every ingredient, especially the lox, was clearly fresh. It was also beautifully presented. And the Cappuccino - this was the best cappuccino I've had in a very long time. Really, whenever I order cappuccinos at the cafes and shops near me it's like people don't know how to make a proper one. They always make cappuccinos too milky where you can barely taste the coffee - but here, they got it exactly right. The balance of espresso to foam was spot-on - it wasn't drowned in milk, it was a true cappuccino. And that made all the difference. I would come back just for that. I wasn't expecting to be this taken with Blu Fig Cafe, but here we are. It's one of those places that reminds you how much joy can come from something as simple as a great bagel, a perfect cup of coffee, and a fresh take on the classics. This isn't just breakfast. This is the kind of meal that makes you believe in the little things again.

    BEST BUTCHER SHOP AROUND -- HANDS DOWN!…read more Dorfler's Meats has been my go-to butcher shop for the past few years, and honestly, I can't imagine shopping anywhere else. From the moment you walk in, the owners and staff treat you like family -- not just customers. It's beyond refreshing to go to a meat shop that truly does it right, from start to finish. The quality is unmatched. I happily travel well out of my way just to stock up on their incredibly fresh meats, top-tier seafood, and the ready-made, home-cooked meals that make weeknights (and weekends) so much better. And let's not forget the deli counter -- WOW. The sandwiches are next-level delicious, and the homemade salads are always fresh, flavorful, and addictive. If you're shopping for the holidays, Dorfler's is an absolute must. Their Prime Tenderloin roasts are unreal -- exceptional quality, fair pricing, and you can truly tell how much care and craftsmanship goes on behind the scenes. It's the kind of place where excellence isn't an accident -- it's the standard. The staff is nothing but helpful, friendly, and genuinely kind. From outstanding customer service at the counter to unforgettable meals at my family's table, we have nothing but positive things to say about Dorfler's Meats. Thank you to everyone at Dorfler's for all you do to stay open, keep raising the bar, and continue showcasing exciting, seasonal products that we look forward to all year long. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out -- HIGHLY recommend!

We had no idea…read morewhat to expect, and when we saw the menu we were surprised with how few items were on it, one of them being Detroit Style Pizza. We ordered fried Wisconsin Cheese Curds, and a small pizza with only cheese. The curds came pretty quickly with ranch dressing, and were very good. The rectangular pizza was cut into six squares, and had the dark browned cheesy edges as expected. It was really good! The cheese and sauce both tasted great, and edges were crunchy but did not taste burnt. Maybe the small menu is their secret to getting their food just right. If we are back in the area, we will return to Joanie's. NOTE that Joanie's was also operating a kiosk at the street festival; I don't know if this limited their menu selections at the restaurant. There is indoor and outdoor seating, with a nice view of trees and water behind the restaurant. They have their own parking lot, and there are also free, municipal lots nearby.

Service was slow, not just for us; we noticed other tables waiting for attention. The waitperson who ultimately took our order, after a longish delay, and after telling us that someone (else) would be with us shortly, was excellent. I suspect we weren't actually her table, but that she filled in to pick up the slack. We took home the half pizza we hadn't finished, but it remains in the fridge two days later and will probably be tossed soon. Maybe lovely wife will eat it. I won't.

They didn't have or offer gluten-free bread for the table, and instead brought out regular bread.

The first tricky part is finding the entrance because it's not really obvious as expected in long grove There's no real signs.

Once I managed to find a door to the place, it turned out to be the back door and so I had to climb up a bunch of stairs in order to get to the front part of the restaurant to actually check in for the reservation. And yes, please make a reservation. This place does get packed even for early times. The service was really friendly and very nice however, I will say overall the food was OK but nothing really standoffish. For example, if you look at the pictures of the food quite bluntly it just looks like they slapped food onto a plate. There's really no thought that's been put into the presentation. There's really been no thought also to just the pure amounts of cheese and sauce that are also creating a swimming pool on the plate. We ordered the grilled octopus for appetizer and even that was swimming in olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette and too much of everything I think the food is OK but nothing fantastic. Considering the overly saturated Chicagoland market of Italian restaurants I wouldn't necessarily say this was at the top of my list.
