“Fun vibes, great service, and good coffee.”

Fun vibes, great service, and good coffee. I had a latte and tuna melt with french fries, all of which were very good. Tends to be busy, but I was there around mid morning/afternoon and luckily was able to find seating.

Excellent choice on croissants and bakery products. Sandwiches are average. Usually busy and long wait for sitting.

Came with a couple friends while visiting Chicago for my first time and had a fantastic time! I had the Hashbrown sandwich and the Cinnamon date cacao latte. Both were excellent! Would recommend for the atmosphere, food and photo ops. 🤩🥰

“The establishment was PACKED, but after getting food and coffee creations can totally understand why.”

The establishment was PACKED, but after getting food and coffee creations can totally understand why! The staff, very friendly and professional, were extremely well-organized.

“We recently visited this café.”

We recently visited this café. When we arrived, we noticed the place was quite busy, and for a moment we hesitated to go in. However, the atmosphere looked inviting, so we decided to stay. As soon as we walked in, a staff member greeted us kindly. They asked us to join the line and handed us a small menu so we could look over the options while waiting. They also explained that once we placed our order, they would find a table for us since the café was full. That’s exactly what happened—after ordering, we checked back with the staff member, and within five minutes they had a table ready for us. It was small, but perfectly fine for enjoying our meal. The food was delicious and the coffee was excellent. Overall, we had a great experience with good service and a welcoming atmosphere. We would definitely return!

“Amazing café, beautifully thoughtful menu, friendly staff.”

Amazing café, beautifully thoughtful menu, friendly staff. Avocado toast is so fresh, would add the pepper on the side for others to sprinkle on. I've had the lavender latte and a couple others which were all lovely. The smash bagel sandwich was SO good!!! Didn't have to wait long at all even tho it was Saturday. Thanks also for having water and cholula sauce open access :)

Great space with lots of seating including outdoors. Turkey bacon, egg and gouda breakfast sandwich and Vietnamese cold brew was great.
