What User dislikes about Something's Brewing:
I recommend steering clear of this location and instead heading to some Brewing in downtown Grayslake. I've had issues two times now—first with lunch and now with breakfast—where my order was incorrect. View all feedback.

The wait was excessively long, over 30 minutes. However, they made up for it with their delicious drinks while we waited. This was my first time there, and I found it to be overrated. That said, the salad was fantastic! The labretti was a generous portion and had great flavor—definitely worth trying! Thanks to the Something’s Brewing team for a nice lunch!

On the flip side, I wasn't greeted by the staff or offered assistance until I asked for help myself. While it wasn’t a huge issue, it did affect my overall impression of the place. Additionally, the two girls on staff were chatting among themselves while working, which some might consider unprofessional, though it didn't bother me too much. The atmosphere was cozy and a bit cluttered, but that added to the overall vibe. I do think more seating would be beneficial, and I also wish the menu layout was simpler, as it felt a bit overwhelming. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would recommend this place if you're in the area!

The place is very cozy and the food was good. Too bad the owner (apparently) is not friendly at all, she makes a difference in how she treats customers because of their place of origin/race. Since I arrived I greeted and she did not answer me. We stayed to see if she behaved the same way with all of the clients but she didn't. I will never come back there.

I bought a Harvest Spice Muffin, which is usually my favorite, but I was really disappointed this time. The muffin was very dry and tasted stale. I couldn't even finish it and ended up having to throw it away. It was over $5, which felt like a waste.

I usually opt for one of their coffee selections of the day, which typically includes three different options. I've also tried various lunch items, and their menu is packed with delicious choices, including a wide range of pre-made items like muffins. It's a fantastic spot for enjoying breakfast or lunch and a nice place to catch up with friends. There are tables available for seating both indoors and outdoors.

I had an excellent experience with their dark roast coffee during my visit. The selection of pastries is absolutely divine. The cinnamon bun and banana pudding muffin are simply delightful!

The management has clearly taken note of the feedback regarding issues. The manager went up to a few patrons who were running a laptop cable across the floor and asked them to move their table.
