Super fresh food. Part of a chain of stores. Outdoor seating, so great to bring your dog. Local hangout spot. I remember the original corner restaurant that used to be here. Yes, I'm that old, lol. This is a great little spot. Will come again.
Came here on a sunny day and it was bustling! The inside is very welcoming and clean but can be very crowded and loud - if busy would not be able to focus and get work done. Outside seating is cute as well. Food: my salad was delicious! 4.5/5 - I got it with hummus on the side which I definitely think it needed(or maybe avocado!) Avocado toast: 1/5 honestly the avocado tasted like smear from a plastic cup. For $10 it is very bad. They should use fresh avocado not mashed. Just make it at home. Smoothie bowl: 4/5 was pretty good! Could have been a tad bit bigger for the price but still delicious.
I came here recently for a change of scenery to get some work done. I got here a little after 7am I think and was able to grab a table in the corner and camp out for a couple hours. My americano was great. No complaints. I'll be adding this to my usual rotation of morning work spots when I find myself with a rare meeting-free morning to get some deep work done.
A cute welcoming coffee shop in the heart of downtown Winnetka. This shop has been ok my radar before it even opened here, when it first opened in Glencoe. Finally made it to the Winnetka location and the inside and decor is so welcoming. The clean fresh lines with bakery treats lining the counter, makes for a very appealing coffee shop. They have an extensive menu of eats and actually less of a variety of coffee drinks. They do also offer smoothies and juices. A friend ordered the chili soup and said it was decent. Very bustling vibe on a weekday afternoon.
I stopped in here for a caffeine fix. Unfortunately we already had plans for dessert immediately after but wow, the pastry display looked amazing! I need to go back to try their cookies and pop tarts. I had the honey cinnamon oat latte. I love how fresh and clean the interior is, and they appear to be dog friendly given they had so many pics of customers with their dogs on display!
We made a stop on our way to the Home Alone house, and we are glad we did. Very friendly service and delicious cookies! Lattes are pretty good. Thanks for treating us so well. We will definitely be visiting again. Ample seating, all toasts look so delicious! Tried: S'mores cookie & a maple cinnamon late.
Always good food and environment. Snooty girls usually (not this time...). I'd like to try other menu items. Great donut selection.
Found myself in Winnetka and whilst here I thought I'd find a coffee shop, and Hometown was just down the street from the shop I'd visited. It's a very popular place and it's easy to see why. Staff are friendly enough and the food isn't bad. I ordered a bagel sandwich, chai latte, and a couple of their crystalized ginger cookies. The bagel sandwich wasn't anything to write home about; the bagel itself was actually pretty disappointing, like one of those soft bagels that you get from the bread aisle at the grocery store. But it was fine, and I was hungry, so I have no regrets. The cookie was really my favorite. I don't even like ginger, let alone big chunks of crystalized ginger (which weren't that big, but they were small chunks and I don't really love ginger) and though I fully expected to give one of these cookies to my significant other, I kept it for myself. If they have them and you're around, definitely treat yourself. Ordering is at the counter, but they bring your food out to you. I was a little surprised at the wait time, given their menu and the number of folks there, because they don't have a lot of variety on their menu--it's mostly bagel sandwiches, so no pancakes/omelets/etc. Even ordering a coffee it said the wait was 10-15 minutes... which is kind of astounding. However, perhaps if someone actually came in and just ordered coffee/juice, it would be shorter than that. There's counter seating as well as some tables and a small seating area of armchairs, to keep the place casual and comfy. The place is super clean which is what you want to see in a restaurant! They have heated outdoor seating, which is pretty awesome. The heating elements are underneath the awning, and it's actually pretty warm. I don't know how it would feel in 20° weather, but in 40° weather it seemed like it could be pretty comfortable as I was walking under them (and since there were several groups of folks in sitting out there it probably was nice). There's no dedicated parking, but a good deal of street parking along Lincoln and Elm right by their corner, and a couple blocks away (west of Green Bay Road) there's a parking lot for the downtown shopping district as well.

Cool place in downtown Winnetka for coffee and breakfast. Hometown is less expensive than it looks. It's certainly not cheap but surprisingly affordable for this fancy ass suburb. For sure people want coffee. They can also get fruit bowls and avocado toast. A pretty crowded place at breakfast. It's hard to get any work done here. This isn't a good place for that. Anyway, it's worth coming here for the coffee and food. The coffee is pretty typical and may actually be the least interesting thing. It's about $2 a cup. Of course, then add some for non dairy milk. I got the Green Bowl. It's about $10 for a ton of fruit and vegetables all mixed. The base was made of avocados, bananas, coconut milk, and spinach. Could hardly taste any vegetables in it. This was topped with agave, bananas, chia seeds, granola, kiwi, and strawberries. Less expensive than it looks as you get tons packed into a bowl. This is a good price. Good value for what you get. It has coffee along with bowls and pastries. There's a few things for vegans.
Back at Hometown and wanted to try something else on the menu! Ordered the Anytime Toast and it was really good and filling. All for a great price. Service was efficient, especially for mid-morning on a Sunday. The inside is cute with a decent amount of seating as well as outdoor tables.
I swear! Teena S, a credible yelper out of Winnetka was the main instigator for this visit to Hometown Coffee & Juice with her endorsement of the restaurant and menu recommendations. It became my choice for eats post completion of my run along Green Bay Trail. There are plentiful parking spots available along Lincoln Ave in spite of it being shared with other restaurants and businesses. Believe it or not, there is always someone leaving this area if you cannot find anything upon arriving. While locating a parking spot, I had no idea what to expect once I entered because it appears to be a very popular choice in the area. I nearly considered its neighboring restaurant, Stacked & Folded due to that, but I went along with visiting because it is loved by one of my regulars. I was acknowledged by an employee as soon as I walked up to the counter but needed a brief moment to gauge what I wanted to order. As much as I wanted to order a sandwich, I kept browsing the smoothies offered on their menu. Being a vegetarian, the process of ordering just takes longer for me, especially when I visit at the spur of the moment like I did with Hometown Coffee & Juice. Likely, if I were to have ordered a sandwich, I would have ordered the veggie sandwich. For future orders, it will be either the veggie sandwich, or the Greek avocado toast, as recommended. The employee who assisted me was patient from the initial encounter at the counter, and as I contemplated what smoothie I wanted to order which ended up being a PB & Banana smoothie. Anything pertaining to smoothies consisting of peanut butter just makes my taste buds melt! Inside, Hometown Coffee & Juice consists of modern style furniture which gives off an elegant, yet minimalistic vibe with a much welcoming presence compared to Starbucks. And the mood of this ambiance feels very casual dining like, but its menu makes it the perfect spot for brunch, or to have coffee or espresso drinks. In a reasonable time, I was informed via a buzzing/vibrating LRS (Long Range Service) pager that my PB & Banana smoothie was completed. And I must say that while walking to my vehicle, I smirked in anticipation of what it would taste like. There were certainly no disappointments in it. I was satisfied with its visual appeal along with its delicious taste which I casually sipped and enjoyed while leaving the area. The PB & Banana smoothie tastes exactly like it sounds. Yum! Being that I had a satisfying experience, I would gladly order from Hometown Coffee & Juice again when in the area. And as Teena gave her endorsement of this restaurant to me, I share my endorsement of it as well with you all. ~ Peace. Love. Happiness. ~ Thomas G
Yay! So excited for Hometown to open in Winnetka. Headlamps are hanging from above so you can stay cozy outdoors. The Classic (Avocado toast) - delicious The Club under bagel melts - delicious The Hometown breakfast sandwich - delicious Chai latte with unsweetened almond milk - perfect Everything that I've tried here is really good! I can't wait to come back and try other items on the menu. People here are super friendly and patient.
The food and juices here are super good and a great healthy spot to eat at. On a weekend afternoon it is paced and very hard to find a spot to sit down at, even more so when the weather is nice. They are very quick to get the orders out dine in or take out, even with the crowds that they have. Your getting what you asked for and can't be disappointed.

Modern large caffe with smoothies, espresso drinks, pastries, and hot sandwich options. We went light with a banana espresso and blueberry smoothies. Both bright with flavor, fresh, and delicious. The smoothies are prepared in the kitchen and brought to the pickup area. They're not prepared at the order counter. The wait was short and atmosphere pleasant. Will return to try more drinks and something from the hot menu. read more

Okay! I manage an office in the area so this place is just a walk away and I'm so glad it is because it'll help fulfill my need for a coffee fix! It's fairly new so I expected it to be busy, but the line moved quick. Staff was really courteous and did not rush us to order. (We we're chatting about the place and how nice it was and the food menu even though we were only there for coffee.). Overall good customer service and my latte was on point. I'll be back to try out other times soon! read more

This place has promise but they cut too many corners for my liking. This morning's bagel and lox for $12.75 included one piece of lox on each half of the bagel that did not even cover the circumference. The lids on the takeout coffee are low quality and the coffee drips out between the cup and the lid before making its way to your mouth. No simple menu items for kids other than a bagel and cream cheese, even though the neighborhood is teeming with toddlers. The coffee is also just okay. Make the trip over to Towne & Oak which is serves much fresher fare and a delicious cup of Joe. read more
