Thai Cafe is the sixth restaurant opened by the Amprachna family. Owner Tiffany Amprachna, a native of Bangkok, uses family recipes for the cafe's authentic dishes, which include the popular Crab Rangoon, Pad Thai, spicy basil chicken and Thai tea, which Kunze says is "the most delicious thing I've ever tasted."
Amprachna also is willing to work with customers who may prefer a less spicy version of a dish.
For the time being, the restaurant will primarily offer carry-out, delivery and catering, although there is a counter for customers who wish to eat in.
A Downer's Grove outpost of the national coffee giant, this Starbucks location serves coffee, tea and specialty drinks in a casual yet trendy cafe atmosphere. A variety of complementary products, including baked goods, music and packaged coffee is also available for purchase.
