I met a couple friends her last week and was told it had a different name, but now they are…read moreNicollette's Cafe. They are located next to Gianni's Cafe in downtown Palatine. Even though they are both cafes, they are very different. Gianni's is more of an Italian bistro. Nicollette's is a cute coffee shop with a nice cafe menu of pastries and breakfast foods and sandwiches. I believe they have some lunch items like paninis and salads, but I don't right recall as I was there on a Sunday morning. What I found interesting with this coffee shop versus others is that they open at 10am and not the normal 8am or 9am on a Sunday morning. When I arrived (about 15 minutes prior to them opening the shop), I found plenty of parking on the street. Behind the building there are more parking lots, so there is plenty of parking for the restuarants, bars, and shops in the immediate area. Upon entering the shop, there are little clusters of seating areas all over the cafe. The clusters have cushioned chairs, couches and comfy seating - not a hard seat in the place - which is perfect for meeting up with friends, grabbing an expertly made coffee drink and a delicious treat, sandwich, or salad. I ordered my go to: an iced oat milk mocha latte with an extra pump of mocha and some kind of pastry. On this occasion, I ordered a Nutella and banana crepe. When it arrived, the crepe was the size of the plate. It was sweet, but not too much, and had a nice blend of Nutella and banana, but it wasn't drowning in Nutella, which is often the folly and failure of other places that use this hazelnut spread. We had a lovely time and they don't shoo you out as more people arrive. The staff is friendly, the music is not too loud, and the ambience is conversational. It's a great location to meet up with friends and colleagues in Palatine. A place I will surely revisit.

I loved that they have all year specialty drinks as well as seasonal options. They serve breakfast, lunch, and early dinner with options like coffee, tea, cocktails, smoothies, sandwiches, pastries, salads, bowls and more! This visit, I tried The Michelle Obama Latte as it felt springy to me. The rosemary and orange blossom flavors were subtle but definitely there. It wasn't overwhelming which made me love it! Another popular item is their Maple Brown Sugar Latte. I definitely prefer this location over Chicago's but I'm happy they have the same offerings at both.

I had the AP Breakfast Sandwich which was bigger but nothing spectacular. As we were standing in line we considered leaving to go to a breakfast place but we wanted to support local and try something new. I wish we left that line. The menu also labeled all sandwiches come with chips or salad, we didn't get that with our order. The coffee was good, if I ever came back it would only be to get that but not worth parking and going inside to wait for it. The only good thing I can say was the staff was very friendly. Likely won't be back. Overpriced. Mediocre. Mislabeled menu. Left the place wanting more.

My friend and I headed outside to enjoy our drinks on the patio. Several minutes later, Tara came outside carrying another latte. She had PERFECTED the latte bear and gave it to us for free! She made my entire day. Thank you to Tara for the amazing art and for going above and beyond in your customer service!! I can't wait to go back for my next coffee and hope she's working when I do.

I love that the owner is always here and she is so friendly and so kind. If you're coming here because you think you wanna get fast service, this is not the place because your drinks and your food will be made from scratch by hand with care. Everything is very thoughtfully put together and truly reflects the menu from the kiosk when you put your order in. But I love about this kiosk. Also is that they do not ask you for tip in fact there was also no tip jar. You must stop by here if you haven't already just for the absolute cuteness of the place and the kindness of the owner and how good everything here tastes!!!!

Their menu offers a favorite of coffee, teas, and sandwiches for food. Note that all syrups flavors are pumps over homemade. I was between some items but the staff member highly recommended the seasonal Pumpkin, Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso (med- 20oz). I changed the milk to oatmilk ($1 upcharge) and my total was $9.30. This is a bit pricey for how much I like to spend on coffee out but the flavor was amazing! A bit sweet but I found myself continuously going back for another sip. I would certainly come back for their seasonal offerings but couldn't sustain visiting sadly on a regular cadence. Either way, stop by Pepper Park Coffee to give them a try!

I wanted a Vietnamese coffee since that's why we went but they couldn't make any modifications. They said it was premade and either way the coffee turned out good imo. Hubs got a brown sugar tea no boba and liked it overall. Might be back but perfectly fine!
