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!

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 …

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!

The owner is Romanian, she was very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend for getting together as well as just hanging out with your laptop.
