Ultimate grounds is a institution. Their menu seems unchanging and gigantic, everything is yummy, and the cafe has such a sweet community vibe. The old owners were so kind and hardworking and Im glad to see their son continuing to work at the business.

This place was a great place to meet a Facebook Marketplace buyer. The shop owner was kind, and he seemed to know his customer’s favorite snacks. I especially liked the Rice Krispies treats and the Super-8 movie camera I acquired.

Love this cafe in the neighborhood. Came here a few times for tea, coffee and breakfast. A few tables by the street, pretty spacious inside and a backyard with two round tables and a long one. A coffee, milk and a ham egg cheese croissant totals $15.40.

Cafe has a wheelchair accessible seating, entrance and toilet. Seating available outside in front of the cafe, in the cafe and in the back patio . Wonderful family run cafe. Popular with many Glenview elementary families in the mornings before school. Excellent selection of coffees, teas and breakfast pastries and bagels. Great to sit inside or outside. And nice spot to get some work done. Customer service is personal and so kind. As we are regulars, they recognize our son, and they always say hello to him.

Cafe serving coffee, hot and iced specialty teas, smoothies, breakfast sandwiches, pastries. Indoor and outdoor seating. Service was super quick! Sandwiches are homemade-sized and not over-the-top. Customizable with bread, Baguette, croissant, or bagel, there are rich options as well as healthy options such as fruit cups, veggie add-ons, and chia seed pudding. Smoothie was made with real fruit, and the apricot walnut rugelach pastry was divine.

Great coffee and food selection. I love hanging out here. One of the last places with reasonable prices and the family that runs the coffee shop are really nice.
