Around Cafe in Arlington Heights

Delicious coffee and cookies! ♥️ favorite coffee shops far!

A great find in suburbia. Relaxing atmosphere aided by classical music and chic decorations. The donuts - purple sweet potatoes with either coconut or oreo on top - are delicious. And the coffee is pretty decent, too! Great place to spend the afternoon reading. I am disappointed that my coffee order to stay was given to me in a to-go cup, though. I'm environmentally friendly, and I either stay and drink my coffee or bring my own to-go cup. They have mugs, so I'm not sure why it wasn't used. Hopefully it wasn't because the barista didn't want to have to clean them.

Such a cute place! I've watched several businesses pass through this space over the years, and I'm glad to see Around Cafe doing so well. The atmosphere is clean and simple, making it a great place for casual reading. It's like a little slice of heaven. Stop on by!

It was really good! If you like the bitter taste definitely try Espresso Lavander Latte☕ And their sweet potato donuts delicious/oreo🍩 Nice comfortable place to have a nice talk with your friends or even a date! Will definitely be coming back soon!♥️

Very small space! Easier for a quick grab & go! Coffee was good and donuts were good too! Super friendly staff!

I like this place more every time I visit. Frequenting various coffee shops is a hobby of mine and the mocha here is without a doubt the best in the area. My girlfriend loves this place and was taking pictures of the decor. She had an almond banana smoothie which was excellent as well. The guy who runs this place is very kind. This is a five star coffee shop, and I’ve given plenty of 1-3 star reviews as well.

Absolutely the hippest coffee shop in the burbs! Stumptown coffee beans & 15 flavors of bubble tea! The vibe is so artsy you’ll want to stay to finish your drink.

Easily the star of Arlington Heights!! Love this place. Good atmosphere, good coffee, and an amazing place to sit and relax.

Wow. Never heard of this “blue latte” before but it was beautiful and delicious. Workers were super nice. Trying to support local businesses in these crazy times!

The best lavender latte and very cozy atmosphere. Especially in winter☕

They serve wonderful lattes here, and the atmosphere is very bright and welcoming!

Awesome friendly service good quality drinks

Always good coffee and friendly service.

I love this place! Amazing coffee and other specialty drinks! I highly recommend the lavender latte and the cookies and cream blended beverage! The service is amazing and although seating is limited it has an amazing atmosphere!!! Totally worth it!!!

This place is honestly the best place in Arlington Heights to get coffee and a bite to eat. The place is modern, the music they play gives off a mellow vibe, and the atmosphere is positive all around. The baristas are so kind and helpful. They are the most polite people you will ever interact with. Drinks are amazing and food is delicious. You will NOT regret coming here.

Fantastic coffee and the staff are just amazing!

My favorite coffee shop. From the drip to the more complicated espresso drinks, it’s all great. Friendly owners. Great vibe in the place. Loved getting some work done here or relaxing with a book in the before times.

My favorite cafe ever!! All of their drinks are unique, beautiful, and delicious! The environment is extremely cozy and welcoming! The staff is always friendly and charming! My favorite drink here is the lavander latte!! :D

Clean, minimalist interior - hardwood all around. And, with the addition of soothing BGM, it nicely rounds out the quintessential cafe ambiance; perfect for getting work done, a coffee date, or even just to wile away a lazy afternoon. Wonderfully-made lychee boba. Will be back again and again.

Come on a sunny day! You’ll love it :))

Small and cozy... which is perfect for a coffee meet with your best friend. Their coffee is wonderful and their Hot Chocolate is the best!!! They also have small selection of homemade bakery. And their kind service is a bonus.

The coffee here is so good. Nothing against any of the big chains but it's just much better quality. The atmosphere is also really nice. A great place to met people, have a good coffee and chat.

Loved it. Cute. Quaint. Comfortable. Coffee was excellent! The ume donut with toasted coconut was good, too.

Excellent service !Very polite owner!Coffee tastes sooooo good !!!!Definitely 5 stars !

Great coffee, good selection of quality whole bean options

Very helpful in selection of and grinding up of locally roasted fantastic coffees. Also has a decent selection of regular and fun teas.

Always a great visit. Delicious beverages, calming atmosphere, and wonderful staff.

Friendly employees, coffee never dissapoints!

Service was great, atmosphere chill and coffee delicious (I got a flat white). Donut was good but nothing special to me compared with a mom and pop donut shop. Little small inside but front windows have a good view. They have WiFi and some plugs available.

Love the vibe, the taste, the employees! A great place in the suburbs to get coffee from the Dark Matter Roaster !

Tiny place with a lot of character. The lychee smoothies are life changing and the coffee is always prefect, even if there's a bit of a wait.They do things right opposed to fast. Great location by the train tracks, but just get there early if you need to catch a train.

My boyfriend and I went here for coffee and I accidentally dropped mine when we were leaving. They were very friendly and gave me another coffee for no extra charge! The people were awesome, the coffee was great and so was the apple fritter!

A tiny little gem hidden in the heart of Arlington Heights! Even though it stands on the corner of a major intersection this cafe is easy to overlook. But with such a wide menu and great customer service, this place is more than worth hunting down. Tons of windows for people watching, and plenty of seating and outlets, too!

Some of if not the best coffee in the area, go check them out you will not be disappointed.

This place is very cute. The women who creates the menu and decorates put time and detail into everything. The coffee is amazing, dark matter, and the macarons are different every week and themed. They are the best ones ive had as well!!! Great place!! Support local coffee shops!

I like the coffee and atmosphere here and would recommend!

I love this place. Great place to do work and nice ambiance.Nitro is legit. Gets me WIRED.

I can't live without Around

I always love my trips to Around! My family and I like to go together and enjoy the boba drinks or seasonal specials. The atmosphere is welcoming and I’ve always had great experiences with the staff. Around is a great addition to Arlington Heights and I would recommend everyone to stop by if you’re in the neighborhood!

If you are a coffee lover, you can immediately tell quality of coffee as soon as you put one step into the store. The top of top. Small store but implacable taste of coffee they brew. I also got macaron. Perfect match with the coffee. Too bad I live in city otherwise, this would be my coffee place everyday. The staffs were nice and kind even during such busy time.

One of my favorite coffee places!! Very nice customer service and amazing selection of different varieties of coffee drinks! The place itself is very cute and location is great, right on the corner, and even that this shop is small, but it has so much light inside and wonderful settings for visitors, so you can just sit there with your tasty cup of coffee, read the book and enjoy the view.

Around cafe is the perfect place to sit and relax. It has a gorgeous interior and quite possibly the best coffee in the area! One big thing, however, is their new choice of music. Besides the fact that the music is played much too loud, the choice of pop music is quite distracting and off-putting. I don't know what caused the change in music choice, but the last few months the abrupt change in music choice is disappointing. I prefer the softer, quieter jazz and pop folk which fostered a working and socializing atmosphere.

Adorable vibe, great work space, and delicious Boba!

Awesome! IMG_8186.HEIC

A beautiful space with great coffee. Perfect for afternoon relaxing.

Excellent drinks. From coffee to bubble tea, everything is fantastic. The shop is very cute as well.

Nice and cosy coffee place with interesting coffee options. The pastry was delicious as well!

Excellent espresso, they brew stumptown coffee here. Many latte options like lavender, butterscotch, and toasted marshmallow. I ate a delicious gluten free brownie and a toasted marshmallow latte. The donuts were also decadent. Next to the donut is a nutella blended boba shake. The place gets a lot of sun and is a cozy spot to sit for a bit. Extremely friendly staff too!

Wonderful little shop near the Arlington Race track. The interior aesthetic reminds me of some of the best coffee shops I've been to in Japan. They serve Stumptown and always have a highly skilled barista on bar. What more can you want?

I like this place. It has character. And vegan dessert.
