“Just got a smoothie that was expertly made by a pleasant young lady. Wholly courteous staff, except for the older woman behind the expresso bar. This woman went out of her way to insult me. Rather deviant behavior. Hopefully her nasty personality doesn't affect the younger people on the staff.”

“This place has been the go-to spot for over 20 years, and for good reason. The food is always consistent, incredibly delicious, and clearly made with love every single time. Hands down some of the best breakfast and lunch sandwiches around. My personal favorites are the bacon, egg & cheese, the hot pastrami, the cheesesteak with fries, and the grilled chicken sandwich — you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Every time I walk in, I’m treated with love and respect, which makes the experience even better. It’s family-owned, and you can truly feel that warmth and pride in everything they do. 10/10 recommend, every single time.”

“So I recently started going to this Krauszer in Highland Park for breakfast. I have to say the food has been excellent and reasonably priced. They make it while you wait so it’s very fresh. I usually buy two egg sandwiches.Their coffee is very good. They fresh ground beans for every pot. The W.B Law medium roast is smooth and robust✅. The staff at the Krausser is diligent about cleaning the pot and taking care of the Coffey equipment so it’s always excellent.The place doesn’t look like much from the outside or the inside, but it’s clean. The kitchen area, which is in full view is spotless. The restroom is clean, too, which you have to go to via back storage room, I always ask first.They do have a few tables in the shop, but I generally get the food to go to bring to my client in Highland Park. Most of the businesses to go. Huge coffee business. My only knock on the store that cashier sometimes gets wound up dealing with customers and their lottery machine but it’s not a big deal.”

I always visit the store to buy other stuff but now I will definitely go for food. Sure thing. And Mr. Kumar is a sweet Man of heart. ?”
