Nicolette Cafe: Reviews & Ratings
Wow. Phenomenal cappuccino. Maybe one of the best I've ever had in America! The oat milk was frothed perfectly.
Great hang out spot. Very cozy and the coffee was very good. Vienna coffee - peach smoothie and veggie crape. The service was great as well.
Beautiful food, great atmosphere talented and good people the woman behind the restaurant is very nice to everyone resonates kindness point where people here walk out feeling nicer, Best café in Palatine
Coffee Amazing, Food Amazing, Staff Amazing, and Ambience amazing. They have live music, amazing gifts from local artists, what a beautiful place to bring your family and friends. I come here to work on my computer or enjoy with my children (they have a kids corner). One of my favorite go to places in downtown Palatine!! I seriously LOVE it here!!
Awesone vibes. Artsy and cute-sy. A gem in the middle of downtown Palatine. Worth the drive from the city. They have pierogi on the weekends too?
Stopped by for a quick bite. I already can't wait to go back and try more! Everything about this place was a great experience I don't know where to start. Starting with the service, the two ladies working were so sweet, kind, and friendly. Best service! In terms of food, they had some of the best pierogi I've ever had. They were so fresh and well made. I probably will dream of them. In terms of coffee, I tried a Vienna Coffee (shot of espresso with whipped cream). I love these, but sometimes get a nervous ordering them because sometimes you get whipped cream that is too sweet, but I'm happy to share this coffee was just as good as the ones I've had in Vienna, so A+++++ there as well. The decor is very cute, and the plates were very pretty with flowers and their scientific names :) Def my new favorite Palatine spot
Super cute! Love that a brunch/cafe replaced the sad ice cream shop that did Christy wrong by not maintaining Christy's level of quality. The owner is so intentional and sweet. Inside is nice and bright and airy. But it is packed. There seems to be a lot of tables and chairs and plants and furniture for the square footage. I don't know how it all fits. But it's still cute and definitely an aesthetic choice. There's also a kids nook, which is so, so nice for families with littles. Lots of things there for kids to occupy themselves with. Our kids had a blast. Food is so good! Loved everything we got. Well-balanced flavors. Crepes were light as air. Definitely pricier. But I think it's worth it for a special occasion. The coffee is good too, which makes everything even better. Because what good is a strong breakfast or brunch place if the coffee is weak? What we got: - salmon avocado toast - strawberry crepe - italian basil crepe
Visited the cafe this morning and ordered a large cappuccino. The place is very cute and cozy. The coffee was tasty and the staff is very sweet. I will be back to try some of the baked goods. They look delish!
Super cute place! Adorable ambiance! Very girly! Dog friendly! ( as long as your dog behaves) Staff is great. The cakes and lattes are yummy! We all loved the place including my doggy!
