3rd Place Coffee

"A cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and rich coffee. This local eatery has grill items like breakfast burritos that are made to order, and they feature a selection of muffins, coffee cakes, and bagels. I recommend trying out a Pooh latte which is a honey and cinnamon latte, using real honey made from a local monastery. A perfect blend of sweet and spice, tastes really good iced and with almond milk. Service is exceptionally friendly with the staff instantly making sure they make up for a miserable (my burrito on one visit was taken by another visitor, but they instantly got me a new one made right away), and they remember your name and make you feel at home, which to me is very special and something you don't exactly find at a Starbucks these days. So if you're on the eastern side of Lake Forest, I strongly recommend checking them out."

"A great community coffee stop, interior is open and welcoming. There are several plants that brings a different dimension to the place. The coffee drink I ordered was fine. I havent tried any of the food items but it looked like they have a good variety"

"A Community Gem: Third Place Coffee Delivers Exceptional Drinks and a Welcoming Atmosphere I recently had the pleasure of visiting Third Place Coffee, and I must say, it has quickly become one of my favorite spots in town. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The drinks at Third Place Coffee are nothing short of amazing. Whether you're a coffee aficionado or a fan of specialty teas, their menu offers a delightful range of options to suit every taste. Each sip is crafted with care, boasting a perfect balance of flavors that leave your taste buds dancing with joy. But it's not just the drinks that shine; their banana nut muffins are simply divine. Moist, flavorful, and packed with wholesome goodness, they are an absolute treat. What sets Third Place Coffee apart is not just their exceptional products, but also the genuine kindness and friendliness of their staff. Every visit feels like catching up with old friends. I was particularly touched when they took the time to hang up my daughter's picture on their poster board. It's these thoughtful gestures that make Third Place Coffee feel like more than just a coffee shop; it's a true community gathering place. Their commitment to fostering a sense of togetherness is truly commendable. Supporting independent businesses is important to me, and Third Place Coffee is a shining example of what makes them so special. The passion and dedication poured into every cup and every interaction is palpable. I wholeheartedly wish them the best of success, as they have truly earned it. If you're seeking a place where exceptional drinks, delectable treats, and a sense of belonging intersect, look no further than Third Place Coffee. You won't be disappointed."

"Super good vegan and vegetarian burrito. Tried both. Customer service was stellar as well!"

"Excellent place to seat down, eating and relaxing. They have a breakfast menu, then it changes to lunch menu! We came on a Friday around 12:45 pm (Lunch menu). The place was not crowded at all. Seating inside and outside available. Free WiFi. Good place to come and bring in your laptop or just to chill. All staff personnel were very kind, welcoming, and friendly. He gave us really good recommendations, since it was my first time there. We had the BLT sandwich, you can taste all the fresh ingredients on a warm toast. It was really good. Prices is reasonable also. I also had the Vietnamese Coffee, I wanted to try it just because it has condensed milk in it (Huge fan of condensed milk lol) and it also have two expresso shots! Excellent experience at this place, will definitely be coming back. Loved the place’s relaxing atmosphere!"
