    Frank was an excellent server. He was honest with his recommendations and let us know what he had and hasn't tried on the menu. My wife and I sat inside because it was a brutally hot Sunday with high humidity. That didn't stop many other patrons from eating on the adjacent patio with umbrella covered tables. I got the fish and chips and my wife got the sampler platter and both were amazing. Something about stuffed cabbage just gives you that feeling of nostalgia and tradition. The sausages were also amazing with the sauerkraut. As far as the fish and chips, I thought that both the fish and the fries were fried perfectly. The sauce was tart and savory and we would absolutely order both dishes again. The prices were a shade high, but for an afternoon date, it was worth it. We'll be back because we were too full to taste the gelato.

    Interior

    What a great little lunch spot. The restaurant has a clean cute interior inside what was once a Victorian style farm house. There is on street parking. The restaurant is under new ownership as of about 30 days ago and the owner and staff couldn't have been kinder and more accommodating for a girl in a wheelchair with a broken leg. The restaurant is totally wheelchair friendly with a ramp, wide doorway and uncluttered interior. Along with the nice interior they have a front porch with seating and a beautiful patio area with umbrellas outside. The new management no longer sells crepes but they don't need them. I ordered the buratta salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, spring greens, and balsamic dressing. It was excellent. I also had the chicken sandwich with fries. The chicken was marinated with spices that were unique and delicious. The fries were hot and crispy and came with a red cabbage slaw. My husband had the Polish sampler dinner and he said it was one of the best he has ever had with a savory and crispy sausage, potato pancake, stuffed cabbage with a Polish red tomatoey sauce. Ask for applesauce and sour cream as a side. They have many flavors of creamy gelato for desert too. What a gem of a restaurant in downtown Algonquin. We will definitely return!

    the food is amazing, my friend and i went there over the weekend and it was a very good ambiance, even for families we had a burger and a steak sandwich and it was very juicy and not salty at all, just be prepared to wait for the food, service is kinda slow but it's definitely worth the wait... definitely going back

    Beet Carpaccio and Pierogi w/ Cheese & Potato

    I love Polish food and was so excited to go to Garden on Main. It exceeded expectations! Great, authentic food. Polish beers and cocktails. We didn't sit outside, but the patio with bar looked so relaxing (and European). We had beet carpaccio, peroigies and cabbage role. I can't even say which dish was my favorite. Can't wait to go back!

    Haven't been inside the actual place yet but i've doordashed them twice this week because of these pierogis! both the pork and potato options taste incredibly homemade and are so so good. I've also had the fried shrimp and the saganaki burger, both are incredible. The coffees amazing too! love this place

    UPDATED HOURS! This place has unique and delicious food, coffee and desserts. Polish inspired with a front atmosphere, and excellent service.

    Smoked salmon crepe.

    Tried this place out and I love it! Great coffee. Great service. The food is very good and cooked to order.

    This little place is a gem on Main Street Algonquin. The food was freshly homemade - we each ordered a delicious crepe but our favorite was the salmon crepe. Very reasonably priced for the nice portion and taste. Manager, Nico, was friendly and welcoming as was the super nice staff. Can't wait to enjoy the late afternoon patio this summer with a relaxing adult beverage. Do try this great little place at any time of day.

    We drove by on our bikes when we noticed The coffee sign for Garden on Main, i'm so glad we came in! The coffee was fantastic, and we cannot wait to come back to try the breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu! We sat out on the beautiful attached patio by the fire pit while we enjoyed our coffee. Can't wait to come back and highly recommend you visit if you're in the area!

    Kids menu chicken fingers and freshly made fries
    Marta G.

    We just discovered this gem and couldn't recommend it enough! The food is amazing and the presentation is wonderful. The cuisine is a mix of European and there are even some Polish dishes. From their main courses, we tried the beet and feta salad and the Polish Zapiekanka (toasted baguette with mushroom, melted cheese, and garnished with chives with ketchup on top). They even have a kids menu, including Mac and cheese, freshly made fries and chicken fingers. The best part was the gelato and lavender latte. We will definitely be back soon!

    delicious Avocado toast and buttery smooth latte'!

    Average food and shockingly bad service. We loved this place until it closed about a year agp. Unfortunately it's taken a nose dive.

    I went back because I really wanted to try their Korean Fried chicken wings. If you've read my…read moreprevious review and then you know that I applaud Cloud Tea for providing different ethic cuisine (especially korean) here in the LITH, Algonquin, and CL area. I had no lunch plans and I knew exactly what I wanted for lunch. I arrive and the girl at the counter was having a bad day and I could tell. She avoided all any eye contact with me, she did not want to engage in any small talk and she was there to receive a pay check and that was that. Ok fine, I get it we all have bad days, just get me my food then. I ask her "how spicy is the spicy check wings?" So goes, "they are alright spicy." WTF, I'm giving a puzzling look and I'm not sure how to respond to that statement but whatever, I get it your cat died, your bf just broke up with you, your car insurance just went up 5%, sure I get it. I place an order for the spicy chicken wings and I wait. I take in the ambiance and it's a great place to chill and grab some bubble tea and lunch. I wait about ten mins and my wings are ready! When I walked up to get my wings I noticed there was some mochinut and I had to get some! I get three flavors, strawberry, taro, and green tea and then I head home to sample the food with my family. First up were the wings, they were scary looking but in a spicy kind of way. Was my stomach and whatever after comes after ready for these wings? I sure hope so! So I went in for my first bite and I was pleasantly surprised. The wings were super good! The flavoring and everything was fire, flame, hit the spot good. And the spice level was 'alright' (see what I did there?), it had a kick but nothing that my kids couldn't handle. My wife enjoyed the wings as well and she said they were good. I'm glad I stopped by and got the fried chicken wings to try because they were amazingly delicious and I'll be back for more. I finished off my lunch and tried some mochinut and they were good as well and you don't have any complaints from me on the food. The service on the other hand, get a new girl who wants to come to work and put on a smile. Like I said I understand we all have bad days but for me to write it in my review it must have been really bad. Great job on the food Cloud Tea. Happy to have you guys in the area and keep up the good food. You've earned your 4 start review.

The staff is nice, some space but limited outlets, noticed and heard young kids and moms throughout my stay making a racket which unfortunately for small town spots is difficult to accommodate. I ordered up a large rose matcha, surprised my eyes out when it managed to peak twelve dollars! Is it ceremonial grade? Guess I can write off a donation for small town America! It was fine and easy to drink but not much smooth balance I've had with other matcha like Eleventh House in my hometown or Rabble's incredible Lawnmower doing watermelon with the green tea. Downtown Indianapolis sure does spoil! Would do coffee next time, the Dubai latte I had at Cook St seems the winter way.

The coffee shop was very busy when I visited with a line all the way to the entry. Only one staff member was working so she had to hustle to take orders, make drinks, and refill items behind the bar. I was surprised they would be so understaffed for a busy day. When it was my turn, I ordered a 16oz Hot Pumpkin Spice Latte (with oatmilk). You can tell the pumpkin is fresh and quality to help flavor the latte. They do have a notice stating their prices have increased and reasoning why. My latte in total was close to $10 so this becomes more of a special treat than consistent go-to. Either way, I thoroughly enjoyed my latte and experiencing the Cary location!
