What customers say?

“ Went here for breakfast with my mom and loved it! We shared the tomatoes & burrata (added prosciutto), miso-glazed salmon bowl (I added egg and avocado for extra protein), and the breakfast sandwich (highly recommend swapping the biscuit for a croissant). Drinks were the matcha latte and the hot apple cider (fall special)—both were great. The space is bright and roomy with plenty of natural light, and the staff was super friendly. Note: a handful of tables are laptop-free between 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. ”

“ Very cute and modern spot. The ice coffee and latte was great. We will go back for sure to try the brunch and other stuff. I hope they open a spot in the Glen or closer to us. Update: we had breakfast here this morning and it was great. The steak was super delicious and cooked to perfection. ”

“ The Cafe was nice. I also didn't notice that every year they have a home alone Christmas theme when you go to this cafe. I was looking at my Instagram reels. It's great for the holiday seasons. ”

“ Towne & Oak is one of Winnetka’s gems. It’s that perfect blend of casual and chic—a fast-casual dining experience where you order at the counter, but the food is brought to your table with care. The quality of the food is outstanding, and the atmosphere strikes just the right balance: informal yet tasteful, bright, and inviting. The space has a light, airy feel, with simple, almost cafeteria-style tables, but it all comes together beautifully to create a relaxed and stylish environment. And if you’re here in Winnetka because you love Home Alone, you’re in for a treat—Towne & Oak embraces the movie theme with playful cutouts and decor that make it a fun stop for fans. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, Towne & Oak is a must-visit. Great food, great vibes, and a charming nod to Winnetka’s most famous house! ”

“ First time trying this place out, beautiful, clean, open and very bright space. A limited selection of pastries, I was hoping to see more options. I tried the Butternut squash tartine, chocolate croissant and cappuccino. Spacious place, wonderful and calm. Extra study area in the back. Service was good but dry. The tartine was definitely unique. Variety of fresh ingredients but mild flavor. The chocolate croissant was average. Flaky on the outside but dense on the inside. The cappuccino was good but mild in terms of flavor and strength. They service dine in coffee in paper cups. Prices: high average. Homogenous customer base. Street parking is free but limited availability You can’t hate it, but won’t love it. ”

I Got the harvest salad with chicken added as well as the Carmel latte. Both were amazing! Had leftovers as well. Will be coming back again. ”
