Everyone knows the coffee at our counter. Almost nobody knows there's a full espresso bar behind it.
1. Greek Nescafé Frappé The drink a Greek family actually orders in the afternoon. We've been a Greek family here since 1988. You will not find this at the drive thru down the street.
2. Freddo Espresso Espresso, served cold. Sharp, smooth, and dangerously easy to drink. The most underrated thing on our menu, full stop.
3. Blueberry Latte Our seasonal pour. A double shot of espresso with our homemade blueberry glaze and blueberry syrup. We make the glaze ourselves. It's as good as it sounds.
4. Honey Cinnamon Latte Espresso, steamed milk, honey, cinnamon. Tastes like our dining room smells on a Sunday morning. Available iced.
5. Matcha Latte Yes, real matcha. Hot or iced. Proof that a 38 year old pancake house can keep up with anybody.
6. Chai Tea Latte Warm, spiced, and just as good over ice. The order for people who want something other than coffee.
7. Affogato A scoop of ice cream drowned in fresh espresso. Dessert and coffee in one glass, and one of the best deals in the building.
8. Gourmet Hot Chocolate Made with a homemade chocolate ganache and topped with whipped cream. Not powder from a packet. Order it for the kids, then order your own.
Also pouring: cappuccino, latte, americano, espresso, doppio, iced coffee, iced latte, freshly squeezed orange juice, seven smoothies, and hand spun milkshakes.
Sit with a book. Meet a friend. Take it to go. We're open until 9 PM, so the espresso machine is running long after most coffee shops in Joliet have locked up.

We are open until 9:00PM everyday and 10:00 pm On Fridays and Saturdays

If You've Only Ever Eaten Here Before Noon, Here Are 7 Menu Items You're Missing 🌙

For six years we closed at 3 PM. That's over. The dinner menu is here, and most of Joliet still doesn't know what's on it.
1. Chipotle Aioli Chicken & Rice Bowl Grilled chicken over rice with roasted peppers, black beans, corn, and avocado, finished with a homemade chipotle aioli. The sauce is made in house. This is the one people come back for.
2. Steak Chimichurri Bowl Same loaded build roasted peppers, beans, corn, avocado over rice with steak and a homemade chimichurri drizzle. Big, fresh, and nothing like what you'd expect from a pancake house.
3. Greek Chicken Kabob Marinated chicken breast skewered with onion, peppers, and tomatoes in Greek spices, served over a bed of rice. A Greek family has owned this place since 1988. This is what they actually eat.
4. Greek Souvlaki Tender pork tenderloin marinated in Greek spices and broiled, served over rice pilaf. Order it once and you'll understand why it's on the menu.
5. BBQ Back Ribs In PZ's words, they slide off the bone. That's the whole review.
6. Liver & Onions Almost nobody in the Joliet area still makes it. We do, and our regulars would riot if we stopped.
7. Chicken Parmesan Lightly breaded chicken breast over spaghetti, covered in homemade meat sauce and mozzarella, baked golden. Comfort food done properly.
Also on the dinner menu: breaded pork tenderloin, fresh seafood, broiler steaks, pastas, and handhelds. Breakfast is still served all day, so nobody at the table has to compromise.
