Grand Cafe

I was ordering some food when three gigantic ants went scurring across the counter.  Their employee said they were going to fix it.  Low and behold, one month later, I'm ordering some food and one is crawling on my arm.  Disgusting! You can only imagine what other problems they are not fixing.  The food is usually sub par, and I've overheard the owner being extreemly rude to his employees.  I used to go here for the convienence factor....but giant ants crawling on my arm? No thanks.

Great little cafe...excellent iced coffee with an espresso shot and cream! Food was quick and simple with great flavors. Highly recommend the paninis or chicken sandwiches!

As a regular Metra commuter I sometimes find myself at the Western Ave station, either coming to it in the morning with express bus 33, or arriving in the afternoon to take bus 65 home.  The station itself is an empty shell of a building with only a couple of park benches.  Maybe in the past there was a ticket agent or something but now it appears to be boarded up on the inside so it just looks like the walls continue around the room.  That's why I'm so glad to have Grand Cafe as an option to keep myself occupied.  A lot of choices for coffee, orange juice, muffins, croissant, sandwiches, etc.  I feel safer sitting inside.  And the owners are excellent company.
