“This place is a hidden gem! Amazing friendly service, the food is great - perfect portions and unreal flavors. The spicy egg sausage bagel is delicious! Their cafe drinks are awesome too! Great chill vibe, easy options, and stress-free experience. Glad we found it!”

“Cute small shop serving coffee, pastries, sandwiches, and a few other hot dishes. Staff were really nice, quick, and our bagel sandwiches were tasty. Coffee was pretty good as well.”

“Cute neighborhood spot for a little food and caffeine. They have smoothies too. We had the CTA, SCA, danishes and a cookie. Literally everything was good. The danishes especially.”

“Delicious food and coffee, and courtious!! I'll be going back!”

“Great sandwiches. Very clean. Relaxing atmosphere (which you can’t tell from the strip mall location). The two women who run it are so nice.”

“Cute spot in the neighborhood with really friendly staff and the best breakfast deal I’ve seen in Chicago ($6.25 for a bagel sandwich and coffee). Will be back to try their lunch!”

“My absolute favorite cafe and place in Chicago~ The two women who work there are so kind, friendly, and a pleasure to meet anytime I come in. I feel so happy to make my way in there. And every time I go every other guest I see them interact with is met with the same friendliness. Cant of wait to make it there again soon~”

“Top quality drinks and food! They have the yummiest wraps that are loaded with fresh ingredients. My go-to is the Thai iced tea and sesame chicken wraps. Sooooo good!!”

“This has quickly become my favorite neighborhood lunchtime spot when working from home. The Ladies running this cute cafe are so warm and welcoming that I feel like my grandmother was serving me up a hearty sandwich at home. I got the the grill cheese with bacon and I was blown away by how satisfying something so simple was. The bread what perfectly crispy and toasted while still being soft on the inside. Their cheese blend is great with just a bit of pull and the bacon just rounds it out that only bacon can. Not to mention all the fun baked goods and treats they have as well. Tried the brownie and it was delightful. I couldn’t ask for a better addition to the neighborhood and look forward to many more lunch time sandwiches here! As an additional add on now that I’ve had the pleasure to frequent here for many nice lunch hour meals, this place has become my favorite local lunch spot. If I need a nice smile on a off work day this is the place to go. My favorite new thing I tried was the Ginger Chicken with Rice. It may sound simple an unassuming but it packs a hell of a punch of flavor and comfort. If you are going through any sinus issues this will clear you right up and have you bright and alert in no time. It is the perfect blend of ginger and spice that creates a wonderful bit of heat to warm you up on a cold winter day. I highly recommend giving it a try!”
“They are fantastic! I come in here for their thai ice tea all the time and try to bring my friends along as often as I can. Everything I've tried here has been great, and everyone I've brought in has felt the same!”
“Good preparation. Tea lovers don't miss to place order and taste ka tea”
