4.710 N Bothwell St, Palatine, IL 60067
A small family-owned 'Euro-ish' cafe tucked in a downtown Palatine alleyway, with hot and cold drinks, smoothies, pastries, and French-style sandwiches.
“Two Libras feels like stumbling into a hidden cafe in a small European town — except it's a downtown Palatine alley. The 'French-ish' sandwiches are the move at lunch, and the space punches well above its size. Closed Mondays.”
The alley location is a feature, not a bug. Loved finding this place.
Closed Mondays — learned the hard way. Otherwise outstanding.

Two Libras brings a unique, European-inspired warmth to downtown Palatine, tucked away off North Bothwell Street with a distinct alleyway setting that feels like a hidden discovery. Combining Eastern European culinary touches with an upscale coffee house vibe, it quickly sets itself apart from standard local coffee chains. The interior is bright, cozy, and thoughtfully laid out, balancing communal seating and study-friendly nooks with a separate private room suitable for small meetings. While seating can fill up fast during peak weekend morning hours, the welcoming staff and relaxed tempo keep the space feeling comfortable rather than rushed.
Everything i had here was amazing! I had the waffle and mango smoothie and both were delicious, i cant wait to go back for more waffles + to try other items from the menu.
We live about a 10 minute walk from here and it’s quickly become one of our favorite spots to hit up on the weekend. I’ve had their vegetarian baguette and the goat cheese salad - both are delicious. Also love their cappuccino and iced coffee.
Nice and cozy brand new place. It's Eastern European cuisine blended with American coffee place vibe. Space is comfortable and chill. They have extra conference room with two tables for privacy and discussions. Overall great addition and so far furthest Serbian food place out in West suburbs. Definitely recommended. Will return here often considering it's close to my work
What a great find! Was looking to find a local coffee/cafe shop and support small businesses. 3 of us went today and each enjoyed the coffees, crepes and smoothies. The service was very warm and welcoming and the taste of everything was very good. Will be coming here regularly!! I'll grab photos of the coffee and food next time. Here is one of our motorcycles since it was such a nice day today!!
