Nature's Best Cafe

By Connie Schmidt
Simitrio Cruz


Here is a treat for you: an independent, family-owned restaurant in a residential section of Naperville. Nature’s Best Café is located at 1904 Brookdale Road, just a few blocks east of Rt. 59. The owners are husband-wife duo Evonne and Simitrio Cruz, with Simitrio running the day-to-day operations while Evonne teaches school. In 2016 they opened the café with the philosophy: Eat healthy, feel better.

This gem is part coffeehouse, breakfast or lunch spot, friend or committee gathering area, and Friday night music venue. They serve fresh delicious food, made from scratch daily. When possible, produce is locally sourced with many vegan and gluten-free options. There is a wood stone oven for the assortment of hand-tossed pizzas. (Yep, there is gluten-free crust, too.) They are a local seller of the amazing “I Have A Bean” coffee, complemented by fresh baked goods and amazing ice cream.  Michael and I stumbled in here after a friend’s recommendation and were thrilled.  I hope you will be, too.
