“ Village Grind, tucked away in downtown Oswego, is a gem! From the moment you walk in you are treated to the scent of comfort. They offer a vast variety of coffees and teas. They have fresh bagels and unique cream cheese flavors and homemade pastries as well. If you are seeking a meal per say, you can choose from quiches and sandwiches and healthy salads. The atmosphere is quaint and homey. ”

“ Best Coffee there is. You won't find a better family owned business. A lot of great options for food and coffee and the service is great. ”

“ The food is homemade and you never know what you might find. The sheet pies are excellent with all combination of fruit. They have Jake's bagels with their cream cheese. The service is great. The coffee is really good. There is all combination of flavorings you . The Italian soda come in a wide variety of flavors. ”

“ Had a relative who had moved out of town & suddenly moved back to Illinois. This location was kind of halfway between me and my relative. And we often meet for coffee, so I perused some reviews. This place looked good, and we tried it out today. What I like about it is, it's a little eclectic, a little off the beaten path. You walk in and there's a little order counter and you can go left or right after you get your order, if you go left ... whoops you're into another business. If you go right there's seating, and a room and then partway into that room, You make a left and there's another seating room. It kinda reminds me of a donut place in Joliet. The OLD Donut den (years back, before they moved into their current space )with its little rooms and nooks and crannies. Village grind has great service, very friendly baristas. A decent array of varied coffees, lattes, and the like. I think their star is their excellent selection of all homemade... Pastries, desserts, and yummy things. Again, all homemade. Prices are surprisingly affordable. This from a guy who is a known cheap SOB. My relative had the cherry cobbler pastry looking thing. And was overjoyed with it. I had the eclair cake and it was extremely yummy, and made my tummy so happy. My relative said he was extremely happy with the choice of coffee shop, and that we would be definitely meeting there again soon. Parking is on the street, but they also have a lot on the side of the bldg. . In downtown Oswego, not far from the river. Recommend! ”

“ Their coffee is great and affordable! They always have so many fun flavors. Their baked goods are undefeated. I like that they have some healthy options like the veggie quinoa salad and also lots of kid friendly options. The staff is always great! Love the quaint, small-town feel. ”

“ I've been going here since I was 12. They are the heart of the community, and the food is like when your granny comes over to make it. So much love and kind hearts. If you like sweet cottages and maybe an inn vibe, come here. The service is super fast and with a friendly smile. ”

“ A great coffee shop. I enjoyed the campfire Mocha. And their pastries just a great atmosphere ”

“ I was in the area and had to drop off something at the post office. This was my first time in downtown Oswego and it was pretty nice, albeit small. I needed a caffeine boost and found The Village Grind within walking distance of the post office. The interior is really cool. Feels like an old house. Aside from coffee, they have cake, chips, and protein bars. They also have coffee beans you can dispense into bags for purchase. I ordered a cappuccino and a mocha moe. The milk foam on the capp was more on the flimsy side, not thick/dense how I like it. The mocha had decent flavor, but they use a chocolate powder instead of a syrup; I think a syrup would have provided a richer flavor. Not the best coffee I've had, but decent place if you need a drink. Good service and reasonable pricing. 3.5 stars. ”

“ I love this little coffee shop in Oswego. It reminds me of the comfort of home every time I go in. When you walk in the smell of fresh brewed coffee is the best. At the entrance of the shop, they sell some handmade jewelry, soaps and candle melts for the season. Inside it's so cozy to sit. There are several small rooms with tables in a rustic setting and all the decorations are super cute. It's a very warm atmosphere. They have different delicious healthy salads, sandwiches, smoothies in Summer and my favorite is watermelon. They change coffees of the day and my fav is French toast. Outside they have a few small tables where you can sit and take a walk downtown to the cute boutiques here. A nice day in downtown Oswego! I need to add the girls that work in the shop are so friendly and do an excellent job. I would highly recommend. ”
