Happier Now Café is the creation of La Grange Park mother-daughter duo Andrea and Donna Slivka. Our vision was to provide an inviting atmosphere where all are welcome to take a break and enjoy a thoughtfully curated selection of food and beverages, with a focus on high-quality ingredients and local sourcing. The space also features a to-go food and beverage market, beer and wine bar, and kids play area + library. Learn more about our story here.

“We had dinner here for the first time with 4 adults and 4 kids under 5 and it was fantastic! The food itself was delicious, wine/beer selection great, and the venue was so kid-friendly (kids menu, toy area) and folks working there were so helpful and friendly. This will be our new dinner spot!”

“Wonderful spot to enjoy a drink and great bites! Stopped here for dinner and we were very impressed. Nice menu offerings, refreshingly different and very tasty! Burrata was delicious, couldn’t get enough of the arugula salad and the bread is amazing. Burger was great and flank steak did not disappoint! Ended with the vanilla pan a cotta, also delicious. Stop in! You’ll be glad you did.”

“Friendly and attentive staff, clean and inviting atmosphere. The food was incredibly fresh, light and delicious. My husband and I ordered the tuna and egg salad sandwich, and the roasted turkey sandwich. Both were absolutely delish! They also offer a great variety of beverages, soups, and other dishes packaged up and ready to take home. Would recommend, will be returning !”
