Cafe 44
9144 Waukegan Rd, Skokie, IL
Crema's Take
“Cafe 44 is a serene neighborhood gem with soaring wooden ceilings and warm lighting that makes it feel like a genuine refuge from the chaos outside. Their signature creative drinks shine—think actual-pumpkin pumpkin spice lattes and inventive creations like chocolate shells with coconut cream and mango—and while the pastries are a mixed bag, the Dubai croissants and artisanal approach show real care in their craft. It's the kind of calm, design-forward space where you'll see regulars lingering over coffee, families settling in, and people getting actual work done, all without the corporate feel of a chain.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Decided to try a new place this cafe is simple and cute only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is due to their bakery items being super dry not really worth the price. I ordered a vanilla chai that was made well, I did enjoy that. Overall okay probably would skip the pastries.
This place is so cute! And so tasty! I got a Pumpkin Spiced Latte that tasted like actual pumpkin served in a cute glass, and a “Fruit Dessert”, a dark chocolate shell with coconut cream and a mango purée in the shape of a half coconut. The girl at the register was friendly and…
