Crema's Take

Nicolette draws a loyal crowd with creative specialty lattes like tiramisu, brown sugar, and Dubai varieties that actually deliver on their ambitious flavor profiles. The spotless, brightly lit space excels as a comfortable hang spot with an extensive gluten-free menu, customizable açaí bowls, and pastries that justify the slightly premium pricing. If you want a polished café experience with thoughtfully executed drinks beyond the usual espresso fare, this is worth the trip.

What to expect

Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Brightly lit, clean, and beautiful, this café offers a vast array of delicious pastries, sandwiches, crêpes, and beverages. They have an extensive gluten-free menu as well. But perhaps the most appealing thing about Nicolette Cafe is the people. Both the owners and other…

Super cute cafe, great service, lots of options for drinks&food. I got an açaí bowl - which was totally customizable for the toppings (which I loved)! Will definitely be back!

Nicolette Café in Palatine was such a vibe. I tried the tiramisu latte, brown sugar latte, and a Nutella crêpe—so good. It’s a little pricey, but perfect for a quick pick-me-up or a cozy spot to hang by yourself or catch up with friends.

I had Dubai late with cheesecake. This cafe has a nice welcoming atmosphere. Cheesecake was really good. Panini was very tasty as well . Code was lacking the Dubai taste but looked nice. Overall nice place to come for a meetup with friends.
