Great coffee spot right next to the Libertyville Metra stop. I missed my train in the morning so…read moreinstead of punishing myself and getting all mad, I treated myself to a brown butter latte and a cranberry orange scone. After all it is a Friday! There are many things on the winter menu that I would love to try next time I am back. The scone was huge and very flavorful. And the brown butter latte was a nice warm treat on a cold Chicago morning. The employees behind the counter were nice and friendly and helped me decide my drink for the morning. It was between the miso caramel latte or the brown butter latte, and I went with the brown butter. Nice chill coffee spot with great options. They have a nice cozy couch in the front and heard they have a nice big sitting area in the back that I didn't have time to check out. Til next time!

Stopped in for a beverage before work this morning. I've been to Hansa many times in the past, many…read moremany years ago. This was my first time in about 7 years. Same industrial feel inside with lots of seating and work space. Great as a remote working space or a meeting with friends. Expansive menu. All of the usuals for such a craft coffee shop but they also have a great selection pastries, some of which are vegan and gluten free. They've even got the ingredients for each item posted on the side of the display. Their website and social media is very backdated. I couldn't find anything recent in terms of their current menu in order to plan ahead before coming but the woman behind the register was very helpful.

I got to experience Anna's on the Lake on a beautiful spring day and it was everything I hoped it…read morewould be and more! This place is just the cutest. I love how it's a house with multiple rooms to camp out and get some work done. On this visit i tried the lil popper sandwich and it was incredible! Eggs, cheddar, bacon, pickled jalapeños, housemade hot honey cream cheese on an english muffin. I will be dreaming about this sandwich for a long long time! I also got the cookie butter latte which was one of the specials. This was really good, but a little too sweet for me! I would recommend asking for it half sweet and I think that would be perfect. The employees here are so sweet and welcoming! Another great visit to Anna's. I will always recommend to anyone visiting Kenosha. It's a must!

Delighted to be back at Anna's! What a wonderful little spot in Kenosha. Between the lake views and…read morethe cozy inside atmosphere, there's nothing not to love. Had an iced matcha this time and added their cherry almond syrup. Very tasty! Also went for the chicken caesar wrap, and oh boy so good, and so filling. It was stacked with fresh shaved parm, avocado, and yummy grilled chicken. Will absolutely return again next time I'm in town!

I'm so glad I finally had the chance to visit Tala! The staff was super welcoming and the coffee…read morewas delicious. I was surprised at how crowded it was at 11:30 a.m. on a Wednesday. Some customers were there to socialize and others were camped out to work from their laptops. I snagged the second-to-last table when I arrived, and the last table was claimed a minute later. In addition to coffee, lattes, cappuccino and other similar drinks, Tala offers a small section of muffins and pastries as well as a small lunch menu. I'd love to go back and try a sandwich with my next latte. The location is odd, in an industrial area off the beaten path. But considering the crowd in there, the word is clearly out and people are flocking to it!

The name, Drip & Culture, perfectly describes this spot. I was in the Great Lakes area for only 2 days for one of my nephew's Navy graduation and I went to this place twice. We ordered the iced versions of the Ube Matcha and the Ube Hojicha. The flavor balance of these drinks are perfection. As a Filipino, I approve their ube; it's not like the "ube"/vanilla with food coloring from Trader Joe's. Sidenote: I love Trader Joe's overall, but the majority of their ube products are terrible. I'm going to be craving that Ube Hojicha for a long time. I hope I can find something similar back home. Also, if you're hungry, try the tacos sold inside the supermarket adjacent to the cafe. Cheap, big, and delicious tacos!

They have a pretty vast menu. You can see the love that goes into this family owned business. I decided to try the mango sticky rice matcha and the ube hojicha latte. The Ube beverage was great, the ube flavor stands out pretty strong unlike most ube coffee drinks I've had elsewhere. The mango sticky rice was delish, it was sweet but not overly sweet and the cream made a huge difference in the drink. Highly recommend. Overall we had a great fine and would recommend if you're looking for a fusion coffee shop to try!

Everyone is so friendly here and they're speedy with making your drinks. They do offer a few pastries, but there is no kitchen so don't get confused... you go for the coffee (or tea or hot chocolate). I almost always order a Samoas latte which is exactly what you think. And absolutely delicious! I have recently ventured to order the Caramel Turtle and I would also highly recommend it. I like to set up here with my laptop and knock out work, but this would also be a great spot to catch up with a friend. There's a variety of seating and great wifi, perfect for all occasions.

Customer service was very good, the guy behind the counter saw us looking at the menu and asked if we'd like to hear about the specials... and they checked on us although at the table even though it felt more like a self serve style diner.

This feels like the kind of place you'd come back to again & again, whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or sitting for a bit. Definitely worth a stop I attached the menu that I recreated in Canva from the one hanging in the coffee shop since it was a bit hard to read in the photo, along with the Winter Menu.
