The Uncommon Palate

The gourmet and specialty foods market is booming across the country. Consumers are looking for quality products coupled with a shopping experience to match. Many large cities have entire communities dedicated to ethnic foods and culture but the same can’t be said for small town America. So armed with our foodie mentality, passion for this niche, and desire to participate in the growing culinary district of East Dundee we set out to bring you The Uncommon Palate. A shop dedicated to inspiring you with personality, good eats, full bodied beverages, and culinary adventures. We hope to become a local go-to for residents close by, visitors checking out the area, and people shopping online for dinner on their lunch break. The future is bright and the possibilities are endless for what will be a staple East Dundee business.

The mission of The Uncommon Palate is to provide unique, specialty foods and beverages produced in small batches for freshness and flavor! We’re proud to carry clean label items (15 familiar ingredients or less) from around the world and by local providers as well as fresh brewed coffee and tea, wine and craft beer. We also have a variety of gift and houseware items that pair perfectly with our authentic food and quality drink offerings. Stop by, rest a while, and see what your taste buds have been missing!
