When it comes to coffee, the Green Oaks, Libertyville, Mundelein and Vernon Hills area has plenty of options, but one of my favorites is Eloise Chicago in Vernon Hills. They are one of the few, if not only, area Lake County coffee shop featuring Metropolis Coffee. But Eloise Chicago is much more than a coffee shop. A bakery and cafe would also be perfect terms to describe Eloise Chicago. Their cinnamon rolls are a sweet treat at any time of the day and what Eloise started with. But now they make homemade bread and muffins every day. So the sandwich and soup or salad selections make for a great lunch options.
Eloise Chicago has been in the same location at 701 N. Milwaukee Ave. #312, Vernon Hills for over 21 years. You can view the namesake of Eloise Chicago, Eloise Torres on a Vernon Hills video interview.
So don’t just go for the coffee. See their barista skills at work on an espresso or latte and enjoy it with a cinnamon roll! Or stop by for lunch after enjoying a canoe trip on the Des Plaines River from Offshore, located a few door down in Rivertree Plaza.
Special thanks to Jeff Harris who knew my affection for good coffee and suggested I try Eloise Chicago.
