Late night dining / relaxing in the West Burbs?

Occasionaly I'll be out in the western suburbs (Elmhurst, Wheaton, Naperville, Elgin, Downer's Grove, etc) but my friends and I like to snack late at night. Does anyone know of any coffeeshops or cafes open later than 10pm? We're already tired of the diners and chain coffee places (panera, starbucks). I know of the Asbury and Xando in the southwest suburbs.

Thanks!

there is a small coffee/expresso place in Addison in the same strip mall as Marcus Theatre. I do believee they are open past 10 to accomodate movie goers but I could be wrong. I beleive its called Expresso cafe

A quick Metromix search yielded the Rock Bottom Brew Pub on Diehl in Warrenville (really NW Naperville) and Molly Malone's in Forest Park, both of which are open until 2am. Bally Doyle in Downers, Bar Louis in N'ville, both open until 1am, and lots more, including one of VI's faves, Hugo's Frog Bar now in N'ville, open til midnight.

Check it out, www.metromix.com in the dining section, I used the search function for west suburbs and late night.

One of my current N'ville faves is Tango. Pretty good South American Steakhouse (not great, but reliably good), good prices, and they get 1/2 the business of the lousy and more expensive places all around. Open until midnight.

I imagine there are a number of places along Ogden as one travels east through Downers Grove and Westmont, such as the Omega (open 24 hours), that stay open late.

Lots of options.

Thanks for those suggestions but I was looking for something less like a bar/restaurant and more like a dessert/cafe/coffee place.

Sorry, I missed that and focused on the snack/food aspect. Omega is more or less an old-style coffee shop, morphed into a restaurant. But I do not think they have the expresso atmosphere thing going. You might want to try them, depending on how particular you are about coffee.
