Our Story
Cafe on the Grove started the way the best things usually do — around family.
Meet Dena & Sue
The Mother-Daughter Team behind Cafe on the Grove
We're a mother-daughter duo who turned a shared love of good food and good company into a little corner of Rolling Meadows we're proud to call ours. Between the two of us, you'll find one of us greeting regulars by name and the other making sure every plate that leaves the kitchen is something we'd happily serve at our own table. We built Cafe on the Grove on locally sourced ingredients, a full menu served all day, and the belief that a café should feel less like a stop and more like a place you belong. We're so glad you're here — pull up a chair and stay awhile.
Sourced close to home, served all day.
Every plate that leaves our kitchen starts with ingredients we actually trust — fresh, local, and never further from home than they need to be.
We're a little particular about where our food comes from, and we think you can taste the difference. From breakfast through brunch, we build our menu around 100% locally sourced ingredients — the kind of quality that comes from knowing the people who grow and make it. It's part of why folks in Rolling Meadows and across the northwest suburbs keep coming back: real food, made with care, in a place that feels like the neighborhood. Pull up a chair any day of the week and see what local really tastes like.
Catering & Cocktails
From your table to your next gathering — and a full bar to round it out.
The same locally sourced food our regulars love is ready to travel. Whether you're feeding a brunch crowd, a baby shower, or the whole office, we'll help you put together a spread that feels every bit as warm as a Saturday morning at the café. And when the occasion calls for a little something extra, our full bar has you covered — craft cocktails, beer, and spirits served right alongside brunch, because good mornings in Rolling Meadows deserve a proper toast. Reach out and let's plan something your people will remember.
