Cinnamon Bistro

Great food. Friendly service.
Simple menu, with dishes divided by sweet and savory.
My wife and I are vegetarian. We are from out of town and were here visiting family. They had heard of this restaurant and figured we’d be great people to try it out with. All five of us really enjoyed our meals. (My uncle even commented how the restaurant could appeal to meat eaters, even though there’s no meat.)
We’ll definitely come back to this restaurant everytime we visit.

Delicious food, gorgeous presentation, and very accommodating to the gluten free. Don’t miss the beet soup.

This place was simply amazing! We loved the décor and the food was so fresh and scrumptious! It is tucked away in the strip mall and what a gem, it was like being in Europe :) We will definitely be back time and time again and recommend it to all!

Very nice place, nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Food is very good. Have to come back to try more.

Very good soups. We tried the carrot, lentil, and the green soup… Hands down the best. Also tried the dinner dishes … Everything was soul food!!!

Excellent presentation. Accommodates gluten free requests in creative ways. Food was outstanding and filling! Décor is classy and cozy.

Cinnamon Bistro is excellent. It reminds me of a café one might find in Europe. The dining area is intimate and has a classic continental ambiance. The servers are attentive and friendly. Cinnamon Bistro has a unique selection of dishes. I love their delicious, colorful salads. They have a wide selection of teas, which come served in a teapot so that guests can have several cups or share with table mates. The tea pairs perfectly with the vanilla mousse dessert. Cinnamon Bistro is the perfect place for a date night or girls’ night when you’re looking for a leisurely evening filled with quality time and quality food and service.

Live this place! Delicious vegetarian food. Staff is so nice. Great service and phenol ambiance with outdoor seating.

Our lunch was delicious.
The carrot soup to start was flavorful and complex. Not to mention beautiful. My friend thought there were too many spices.
The stuffed portobello was delicious. The salad was perfectly dressed in a unique dressing.
We had pear cake to finish. Light, fluffy, and amazing.
While small, it is cozy, comfortable, and adorable. First time I have every commented this… The lady’s room is decorated super cute.
The owner says soon they will have outside seating.

The food was very good. Great vegetarian selection and great presentation. Everything worth the price. One disappointment was that they are not really welcome families with kids.

Tried the stuffed zucchini with buckwheat and vegetables. DE-​lish! I like zucchini and Cinnamon Bistro took it to the next level.

Wow! What an awesome place. Romantic and comfortable. Food is delicious and presented in such an artful manor. I was blown away. Perfect place for a date. I highly recommend it.

Great vegetarian place. I had an expresso and crepes. Both were very fresh and tasty.

Definitely a unique place! The restaurant itself is very cozy and classy, and the food is outstanding. Everything we had on the menu was really interesting and flavorful. The owners are incredibly nice and generous too! Anyone who wants to support local business should put this place on your radar. Don’t let the fact that it’s a vegetarian restaurant prevent you from giving it a try!

Nice cozy place and great veg selections. Cinnamon bistro s specialty drink was very delicious. Service was painfully slow. Portions are not very big. Between me and my husband we had drinks, shared one appetizer, one entrée and the halva dessert mousse. Bill came up to 80 $ and we were still hungry. Dishes were delicious but it was way too pricey. Don’t think it’s worth it.

Incredible spot in Lake Zurich!!! The décor is absolutely amazing. Food is presented with perfection and tasted great! Dessert was delicious too.

This place is interesting! It seems to be very Eastern European focused, which doesn’t really go with the rest of the theme of the place at all. I don’t really care, because the food is good.
What sucks is for kids — there are no highchairs. So good luck if your kid runs around. I didn’t bother asking if there was a booster.
That said, the food is absolutely excellent — even if the menu is a bit limited in it’s selection. I had a great appetizer that was basically julienned carrots and zucchini made into a rollup stuffed with ricotta. They also kept that same theme with the main course — which also included a julienned cucumber made into a little circular «pot» to hold a small salad to go with the lentils we ordered.
All in all the food is pretty good, but this place is genuinely pricey. I’m actually a bit surprised/​saddened that for all the fanciness that goes into good visual presentation for relatively simple recipes, it doesn’t make up for that their entire tea selection was from whole foods/​world market. Granted this may not be the same as Billy Corgan’s Madame Zuzu’s tea house, but c’mon guys. Don’t try to sell us your tea like it’s something special/​worth extra when we basically have your entire tea selection in our pantry already. I say this as someone who’s not even vaguely a tea snob — and yet they missed common tea like earl grey. The teas were way overpriced for a world market selection.
If this is what $ 15 – 18 plates cost, I think either this restaurant is all over the place or simply overcharges for everything. I mean the lentil main course had probably 2 cups of dried lentils (so easily 3+ cups cooked). I love lentils way more than the average person, but is that worth $ 15 – 18 when the meal was $ 2 of lentils and maybe $ 1 of salad and likewise $ 12 for the appetizer? No.
Highs: Tasty food and nice presentation
Lows: Unoriginal tea selection, overpriced, no highchair
Verdict: good to go to without kids for a nice romantic veggie meal?

FINALLY!!! A delicious vegetarian and organic restaurant in Lake Zurich. The interior is rustic, cozy, warm and inviting. The menu reflects the interior.
The menu is short but sweet. Do not be fooled by the shortness of it, the menu is eclectic and versatile. It took me a bit to figure out what to order because it all sounded amazing!
My lunch was fantastic. I am not vegan nor vegetarian but I could totally get used to being vegan if were to eat every day at Cinnamon Bistro! I can’t wait to come back for dinner and try the wine list and mixed drinks.

This is so refreshing to finally have a vegan/​vegetarian friendly restaurant in the suburbs. Fresh organic delicious food with an artistic flair great wine I wish them all the success in the world and will be a regular customer.
Ivona was a delightful hostess/​waitress really makes you feel at home. We are so lucky that this exists and I believe these types of establishments are our future! No animals for food in this place which I love and you feel the love inside! Great energy! Thank you!

Fell in love with this place! Cinnamon Bistro is what LZ area needed. Smaller locale with European twist which provides an intimate cool vibe. And the décor is unique, even the bathroom was impressive ;-) This is a Vegetarian restaurant that focuses on taste and the food presentation is fantastic. Highly recommend it, great for a date.
Tried two appetizers and two entrees, we also had a glass of wine — shared all dishes and everything was delicious. Stuffed portobello mushroom the best!
Next time I’m going back for some coffee and desert.
