Super cute cafe, great service, lots of options for drinks&food. I got an açaí bowl - which was totally customizable for the toppings (which I loved)! Will definitely be back!

I had such a wonderful experience here! Everyone is incredibly friendly and helpful, making you feel right at home. The food is absolutely amazing—healthy, homemade, and full of flavor. The place itself is clean, cozy, and very pleasant, perfect for sitting down and enjoying a delicious cup of coffee. Highly recommend! 🥰

We were here for the first time, and my wife and I really enjoyed this place. The food was very delicious and reminded us of Europe. A big thank you—the lady at the counter was friendly and sincere with us! Thank you, and we will definitely come back.☺️

Nicolette Café in Palatine was such a vibe. I tried the tiramisu latte, brown sugar latte, and a Nutella crêpe—so good. It’s a little pricey, but perfect for a quick pick-me-up or a cozy spot to hang by yourself or catch up with friends.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently visited this breakfast spot, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Previously a coffee shop, it has flourished under new management and ownership into a delightful breakfast destination. The decor is incredibly beautiful, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Though the menu is limited, everything they serve is absolutely worth trying. We sampled the pierogies, avocado toast, avocado pita sandwich, and several bakery items. Everything tasted really good! Yes, it's a bit on the pricier side, but the quality and flavors make it worth every penny. If you're looking for a fantastic breakfast in a gorgeous setting, this place is a must-visit. I can't wait to go back and try more of their delicious offerings!

We went for a coffee date here. Staff is friendly. Limited space for seating. Prices are kinda high. Crepe is like $14 but tastes good.

An amazing gem in downtown Palatine. Delicious, unique coffee and tea drinks, European-style pastries and breakfasts that are delicious and attractive. Lots of seating with maybe 4 couches and dozens of soft chairs. Also chíc outdoor seating in sight of the train tracks. Highly, highly recommended!

Brightly lit, clean, and beautiful, this café offers a vast array of delicious pastries, sandwiches, crêpes, and beverages. They have an extensive gluten-free menu as well. But perhaps the most appealing thing about Nicolette Cafe is the people. Both the owners and other customers are absolutely delightful. What a gem in the northwest suburbs!

100 stars for the place!!! We loved it!!! Very cozy, clean, great atmosphere. Great variety of teas ( I am a tea person), which is served in a teapot! Homemade deserts! The owner is Romanian, she was very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend for getting together as well as just hanging out with your laptop.
