Busy little spot with a lot of flare. Street parking. Multiple payment options. Information board. Fast service. The food was tasty. I had the wheelys panini sandwich. The coffee I had a basic hot drip black which appeared to be a well balanced medium roast. However they have tons of coffee drinks options including Turkish and cortado which was nice. The atmosphere is very comfortable and the tone is fairly quiet to low end moderate. They have wifi and relaxing music and chairs/sofa/table spaces. I noticed spaces to do work, complete a puzzle, play a few games.
Positives: plenty of offerings, quick service when I went, good amount of space, and decent drinks. I opted to try a Nutella frappe. I'm disappointed when a frappe doesn't have whipped cream, it instantly makes me like the drink less before even tasting it. When you think frappe, you expect whipped cream. It tasted artificial, average, nothing I couldn't get from a chain. I didn't care for the atmosphere. It wasn't a cozy coffee shop vibe. It felt like a thrown together coffee shop renting the space. It's not that they didn't try, but the decor and space just wasn't doing it for me.
I was out in Lagrange for one of my self-care appointments at one of the spas. I was a bit early so I stopped inside of Wheelys Coffee Lounge for a hot latte on this cold bitter Saturday Morning. I was instantly greeted by the owner who was behind the counter brewing up one of his famous drinks. The menu had so many interesting names to them that I was now undecided on my latte. The decor is nice and I like the chill comfortable setting of this place. Reasonable prices and good service. My first but not my last time coming back to this place. There are plenty more latte and cappuccino my taste buds wants to try out. Until next time, I will keep you posted on my next visit.
I came twice in one day. First I came in the morning and tried the Wheelys chai latte(dirty) and a croissant while I worked. They do have free wifi so that's a bonus. The chai is water based so I did not have to order with a dairy substitute! It was one of the best chai lattes I've had. There's a nice vibe inside with a good amount of seating and tables. I came back in the afternoon with friends and then tried the matcha latte with sf vanilla. I appreciate that they put the order sticker on the beverages so you know exactly what you're getting and the batista will get your order right! If I'm ever back in La Grange, I'll absolutely stop in again.
A solid, just ok experience. They do have some fun coffee drinks if you like fancier things: milky way, snickers, etc. I just like a good cold brew. The coffee itself was decent. It did take awhile to get drinks. Their pastries looked store bought, so I skipped that.
Came here for a morning coffee. It's not a bad size square foot wise, but there's not much seating. There's 2 large tables in the middle, but for places like this, I would think most parties will be 2-3 in size, not 6-8. The larger groups make it very noisy. They had a crew of 3 and the owner (I assume). I ordered an "18oz" milky way hot coffee and a chocolate muffin. I waited 20 minutes, and my coffee was never made. I went up to the counter and asked thr status. He said that they don't serve 18oz. Okay, I say, so he just makes it a large. Why list oz on the menu but refer to them as small, medium, large. That's confusing. Anyways, he stops and makes my coffee. I understand they take online orders, but shouldn't you focus on your customers physically in the cafe? The muffin and coffee were good. Saved it from 2 stars.
Got breakfast from this local coffee shop in LaGrange. It may not look like much inside, but it has a minimal yet cozy feeling if you can call it that. Wheely's is a pretty great place for sitting around and working. Clean and comfortable. The prices are pretty good on the coffees, as well as bagels and pastries. Coffee is the main thing of course. It has both the simple and more complicated things to choose from. The prices are a lot better than at most places. It's about $3 for a latte. Of course add a bit more for non dairy milk. As for what's to eat, there's a few things they have. You can get a simple bagel, or something like an egg sandwich. It's about $3 for a bagel and a spread such as cream cheese or peanut butter. There's quite a few other treats such as cookies and other stuff they bake here. For sure it's a good spot for local coffee. It also has a few pretty good bagels and treats. The atmosphere is chill and great for working.
Morning pit stop before a short drive up to Milwaukee for work. Wheelys was completely empty, so I went right up to the barista and ordered a Coffee Flight and Avocado & Egg Sandwich. Lots of tasty-sounding options to choose from, but I wanted to keep it simple. A young man took my order while someone older (assuming the owner) coached him. I sat in one of the bright red chairs while scoping out the other seating arrangements. Eventually I planted myself at the large communal table to get a few projects done on my laptop while enjoying my food and drink. Loved the variety of the Coffee Flight (cold brew, mocha, regular latte, chai latte). The sandwich looked simple but was SO good. Parked right out front. Overall seamless experience. It was fun people-watching with my headphones on, seeing parents with their dogs and kids interact with the cafe owner. Felt like being in someone's home, with family members coming in and out at their leisure. Would go out of my way to visit a Wheelys location again. Grateful for the hospitality!
Good cafe to get a cup of coffee and get some work done. Food:we got the pistachio latte and it was very nutty and creamy because of the high pistachio content. Service: the staff was very friendly and welcoming. They answered any questions we had about the menu. Ambiance: very quiet and calming cafe that has very roomy seats for you to get some work done. Have a lot of different types of seats depending on what you prefer.
When we walked in, there was a nice warm welcome from the owner The coffees were good, maybe a tad on the sweeter side for me but the flavors were delicious Tables were filled up on a a Saturday morning but not overly crowded
I tried Wheelys in LaGrange for the first time in December. The interior was very inviting and well-decorated. The employees were also so kind and willing to tell us about the various menu items. I asked if there was any added sugar in their oat milk, and they reassured me that they don't. I love ordering an oat milk latte, but I only will if there isn't added sugar (just a taste preference on my end!), so I appreciated it. The latte was perfect. This is such a cute spot--perfect for a coffee date. Once this current surge is over I will definitely back to dine in because I heard they have a coffee flight that so sounds wonderful!
Just wow! No Starbucks can compare to this Oatmilk honey latte, honestly! The store owner was super helpful and friendly too, so I'll definitely see myself becoming a regular
This is a hidden gem. So happy with my experience here. We got the avocado and egg sandwich and the coconut creamer. Both were delicious. The customer service was great. Very friendly staff. Not sure if the guy who served us was the owner but he was very attentive. Will def be back!! Fyi he said they have an app and that the menu changes so the menu pics I posted may be different when you visit.

No longer Wheelys, it is now called Lilian's cafe. Good selection of drinks and calm relaxing environment. They are also on class pass which is why I came to check out their place. Fall menu is super cute! read more

Wheelys is such a cute little coffee shop right in the heart of La Grange! The service was excellent, and everyone was so friendly. I tried the iced banana bread latte, it didn't taste much like banana bread, but the espresso was really good, especially toward the bottom. Overall, it was a nice stop and I'd definitely come back to try something else. read more

Great little coffee shop. Not uptight. Decor was cool. White mocha was excellent. Furniture comfortable, barista was very friendly. Was able to get some good work done as well to pass some time. I would highly recommend this place. I just wish I was in Lagrange more often to visit read more

I have been to Wheely's four times and always leave more than satisfied! The first two visits, I ordered a hot honey oatmilk latte. This is my go-to drink whenever I am at a new coffee shop. The balance of oatmilk and honey was perfect (some places put too much honey which results in an overly sweet drink). I decided to try the chocolate peanut banana smoothie. It was indulgent and just the pick me up I needed! Today I decided to go for the mocha protein smoothie. I was hesistant to order it because I do not like my mochas to be overly sweet but this smoothie was delicious - and I could actually taste the both the coffee and chocolate flavor. I ordered a small and my drink was upgraded to a large with no additional cost! This is a great addition to downtown La Grange. Will definitely be back to try out more from their menu. The vibe is nice and cozy too - a place where one can get some work done! read more

Fantastic service and drinks! Made a special trip to LaGrange with a couple friends to find out what the coffee flight was all about. Three of the four drinks were preselected and you got to pick a latte for the fourth one. I was worried about the drinks being too sweet (I typically drink black coffee every morning), but I was pleasantly surprised that I liked ALL FOUR! All were iced (one was black cold brew with the point being to cleanse your palette of the sugar from the other 3), and another big surprise for me was that I would be willing to order the chai as a whole drink. The EXCELLENT service was the other thing that made this a 5 star experience. It was clear that some of the people who walked in while we were there were regulars, and I totally get why! read more

Seriously the best! We came in once a couple weeks ago and were immediately hooked. The owner is so friendly and is the perfect guy to run a restaurant. He remembers you and chats you up while he makes your order. We have tried various coffees and smoothies and really enjoyed them all. He will even customize the protein amounts in the smoothies based on your size - which was awesome for our kids! Great option for downtown La Grange! read more
