Who Is Riverside Cafe

About Us

Our Story

The Story of riverside cafe in gurnee

In 2017 we were brewing coffee and tea at local farmers markets, sharing our love of breakfast with anyone who stopped by. Three years later we teamed up with my father and opened Riverside Café, determined to give the community a place to enjoy the flavors we cherish. Thanks to loyal guests and a hard-working crew we weathered a pandemic and have been thriving ever since. We are honored to share this dream with you.

Fresh, Familiar, and Made to Order

Inspired by family recipes like Mom’s green salsa, our dishes are cooked from scratch using quality, locally sourced ingredients.

We grind Colectivo beans to order and brew every cup with care, from bold Americanos to velvety lattes.

Whether you’re with family, friends, or flying solo, our space is built for comfort, connection, and great food.

The Heart Behind the Cafe

From Our Kitchen to Your Table

Riverside Cafe is more than a restaurant. It’s a place where family values, fresh ingredients, and shared moments come together. From the first sip of coffee to the last delicious bite, everything we serve is made with care and connection.

Right Across from Six Flags

Just a short walk from one of Gurnee’s biggest attractions, we’re the go-to spot before and after a day of fun. Our location is easy, our food is fresh, and our doors are always open to travelers and locals alike.

We believe great food starts with great ingredients. From farm-fresh eggs to homemade sauces, every item on our menu is prepared with purpose and pride.

Whether it’s a mimosa, a splash of Baileys in your latte, or a classic screwdriver, we pour every drink with care and a smile. Good food deserves a good toast.
