  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.

  Thank you to the super kind woman behind the counter today who helped me out in a pinch this morning! Restored my faith that there are good people in this world and your employee is one of them. If I lived closer to here, I'd come back again and again.

  I had no idea that this coffee shop existed.  My office is not too far from here and I was cutting down Hubbard to get to Western, when I saw this location.  I decided that I was tired and could sure use a nice mocha to keep me warm and awake for the rest of the day.
  
  I stopped in and met one of the owners.  He was a nice guy and we had a great conversation.  This place is also more then just coffee...they have sandwiches, salads and pastries too.  It is a great stop for those who are getting on or off the Metra Train Station near here.
  
  The Mocha was really good and I look forward to coming back here and trying a sandwich for lunch.  The prices are also not that expensive.
