Parking was also easy, with spots both in front and in back of their store. There is plenty of seating. The decorations are spare since their food is beautiful - it all looks great. The place was very clean, too. Although, since they were busy, we had to wipe our table down. I understand they couldn't get away to bus the tables. They have a large drink menu and lots and lots of pastries and cakes. I had a latte made with oat milk, and the rest of our group had a variety of pastries. Everything was great. Their price point is a little higher than other places like Tour Les Jours, but not out of line.

Everything was fresh and the crepes were made to order right at the counter behind glass. A bit pricey. Loved the hot spiced cider and the hot chocolates are made with high quality chocolate! The only negative about the Evanston location was they need a ventilation system. It was so smokey that our clothes smelled like onions- and whatever they were cooking while we were there! Love the food & will be back!

Being that it's winter I have to wash our jackets immediately after to rid the smell. I haven't seen many reviews that mention it though, do others not notice it? I am embarrassed to go to other stores or activities afterwards. Sometimes when we go inside the cafe the air is thick and cloudy. Unfortunately this is my daughter's favorite spot, and I can't deny that the food, drinks, and chocolates are great which are mentioned in detail in everyone else's reviews. Service is hit or miss depending on who's working but can generally expect it to be cold. However, all the people who work there work extremely hard in a tight space to take orders and cook. Perhaps they aren't trying to be rude but are just busy. I do want to recommend the tomato and basil soup. It's so good and comes with a delicious cheese toast. It's the best when the cheese is melted off the bread and crispy! You can get an extra cheese toast for $2.

A small and unassuming strip mall spot with a lovely calming atmosphere. The front was under construction on this day, but they were thankfully open all the same. The girl at the counter was busy helping customers which was a perfect chance to peruse the options. Lots of range here, which I love. Little one bite treats, cookies and pastries, full cakes and slices too! I spotted an un-marked tray of cookies that looked nice, turns out they were soft ginger cookies with jam filling. Raspberry or apricot, and baked in different shapes so you know what's what. Clever... and delicious. The edges were definitely a bit dry but once I hit the jam it was perfect! I also grabbed a triple chocolate mini dome for later. That was quite good as well. Not too sweet, but velvety and flavorful. What's the next holiday I can use as an excuse to get a full cake? I'd definitely come back for a snack too!

Papagalino is an excellent bakery in Niles…read more I saw they have a dine in/restaurant and bar area as well with a patio, but I only tried their bakery section for take out so far. The bakery is excellent. I tried their Mocha Cappuccino cake - delicious and big portion! Maybe one of the best kinds of these cakes I've tried before. I love all the parrot decor inside the bakery as well. The employees I encountered were very helpful and friendly. I definitely recommend the bakery section of Papagalino for their cakes, and I will be back to try the restaurant piece in the future.

There's plenty of seating and there's always TVs going with news or games. It is always a hustling and bustling type of environment and the pastry case has a lot of phenomenal offering such as the three milk cake. They have a lot of Greek specialties, but for me, the spinach pie is great and baked fresh daily. The amount of cheese to spinach ratio is perfect and the thin crispy layers on top add for a nice finishing taste. They put time in effort into all of their creations and you can tell because the food is very fresh. I would highly recommend this local place for anyone in the area.

Pastries are fresh, light, never too sweet, and well packaged. These are great to treat yourself or even ask them to box up as a gift when visiting friends or loved ones. Their cream filled croissants and tarts with fruits are awesome. I recently tried their seasonal caramel pretzel donut and it was Devine.... Fluffy light donut with a thin caramel glaze filled with whipped airy custard... already thinking about getting another one. The chocolate dipped rollie croissant with chocolate whipped cream inside is delicious too. The ladies always kindly package my pastries carefully too which I appreciate.

When I entered I knew it was going to be good. Plenty of housemade breads and cakes throughout the shop. The ladies were super nice and accommodating. In and out in no time.

The pistachio chocolate tart had a fluffy and creamy top with a not too dense tart. Perfect bite every time. Well worth the stop!

After a long day of walking, talking, and imagining his future, we were more than ready for a comforting dinner. Tita Mia's has been a staple for us ever since a very good friend introduced it to our family a couple of years ago, and it has become a non‑negotiable stop every time we're in town. The moment you step inside, you're greeted by their inviting pastry area, an instant mood‑setter that hints at the good meal ahead. As we walked further in, the ambiance washed over me with a wave of nostalgia. Everything about the space, the décor, the warmth, the familiar scents, reminds me of home in Manila. It's the kind of place that makes you feel like you're about to enjoy a true Filipino dinner, not just a restaurant meal. Since it wasn't too busy, we were seated right away and our server took our order promptly. Service was quick and friendly, which we always appreciate after a long day. We ordered some of our favorites: Kare-Kare, sisig, and lumpiang gulay. Each entrée comes with rice, so there was no need to order extra. The food arrived fast and piping hot. Their Kare-Kare is exceptional, rich, creamy, and full of that deep peanut flavor that instantly brought me back to my mom's cooking. The sisig came out sizzling just the way it should, perfectly cooked and not overly salty like versions I've had elsewhere. And the lumpiang gulay was freshly fried, crisp, and absolutely perfect when dipped in vinegar and paired with rice. By the end of the meal, we were happily stuffed, with enough leftovers to take home. Tita Mia's continues to be one of those places that feels like a warm hug, consistent, comforting, and deeply satisfying. We'll always make it a point to come back, and I highly recommend it to anyone craving authentic Filipino flavors.

Perfect for large family gatherings.
