October Cafe

“The food, the coffee, the service - it’s all soooooo good.”

The food, the coffee, the service - it’s all soooooo good! A place you can go as a vegan or non-vegan and everyone will love it! (I am vegan though). The specialty latte’s were done perfectly, not too sweet and had delicious creamy whip cream that seemed like it was homemade. I hade the vegan sausage egg breakfast sandwich on panini. So yummy! My husband had the pumpkin toast and loved it. We will be coming back here again and again.

“I didn’t get the name of the lady who helped me today, she was amazing, staff was super sweet.”

I didn’t get the name of the lady who helped me today, she was amazing, staff was super sweet. Very home-y & loving atmosphere in there. Smells like home for sure, so many typical “puerto rican household food” smells took me down memory lane.💜

Had a delicious London Fog here. The staff was lovely and the place felt very cozy. It's much more spacious inside than I had anticipated which was a welcome surprise.

“October Cafe has become a part of my life.”

October Cafe has become a part of my life. Not only my favorite Cafe to go to but a place of comfort and peace. The coffee flights no matter the season are on point and give you a taste of what October Cafe has to offer. The food is outstanding and Vegan options too! I have hosted many fundraisers, Galentines day events, and most importantly memories to last a lifetime! October cafe is a must go to in Norwood Park! Don’t forget they sell handmade gifts and treats from local vendors!!!

“I adore this place.”

I adore this place! Such a homey feel and really great coffee! Fall is one of my favorite seasons, but I love that they also have a rotating drink menu so you can switch things up! The decor is adorable, the staff is so friendly, and the vibes are always high! I have gone here a number of times, and would recommend to anyone to check it out!

“This is such a cute little gem.”

This is such a cute little gem. Ordered the Addams family flight and it was the cutest presentation I’ve ever seen, and the drinks were delicious. They even serve it to you while singing the theme song. The owners are also very friendly and welcoming. Definitely will be back to try other drinks.

“The ‘ber months’ are my favorite and I finally visited this cute theme cafe.”

The ‘ber months’ are my favorite and I finally visited this cute theme cafe. It’s perfect if you miss the autumn vibes at any other time of the year than the actual fall. It was busy when I went Saturday but everyone was friendly and I still managed to find space to sit down and enjoy my pumpkin spice latte and pumpkin toast! Very friendly staff and so many cute decorations everywhere. Follow on IG for more reviews and recs: @thelifeofmarija

“This place is true gem .”

This place is true gem ! Award winning cafe and recognized in Chicago Tribune. You have not had the real pumpkin spice latte/chai unless you have it from here. Their menu is elaborate with choices for vegan and GF. From breakfast options to lunch (burgers, toasts, waffles, ramen, etc). You will find it all here and the taste is oh so delicious. They also have popcorn and snow cones… They have ample indoor seating and street parking is plenty as well. It’s a student friendly cafe and also on Tuesday they have student special !! I got the pumpkin spice chai and pumpkin toast. Both were Soo beautifully crafted and served. The staff/owners are lovely people. Highly recommend this cafe, especially as fall season starts.

“Was staying in Chicago just for a night when I came across this place.”

Was staying in Chicago just for a night when I came across this place. Originally picked bc it was one of the few places open early on a Sunday but glad I found it! So many fun flavors to add to your coffee. Relaxed atmosphere, Good food and friendly faces. Wish I had longer to try their flight of drinks!
