Papagalino's Cafe
9014 N Milwaukee Ave #1537, Skokie, IL
Crema's Take
“Papagalino's is a vibrant Greek neighborhood gem in Skokie where the warm, multilingual atmosphere feels as welcoming as the food—their traditional gyros and pork kebab are standouts, and the attached bakery (don't miss their pastries) makes it easy to linger over coffee or grab something for the road. With consistently friendly staff, reasonable prices if you bring cash, and a colorful space that draws both solo coffee drinkers and families gathering over meals, it's the kind of place where a quick visit often turns into a lingering one.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

OMG, what a neat place! I had the Pork Kebab with tzatziki and fresh cut fries. The meal couldn't have been better. Then I made the mistake of wandering into the bakery. I took home a piece of La Orange cake and a piece of Mango cake. I doubt I've had better cake in all my…
