“Great location. If you want to start your west loop adventure, this is the place. Staff is so sweet.”
“Solid food. Ordered the rye pastrami reuben. Smoky break and nice composition , with right amount of pastrami.”
“Rye deli and drink is simply amazing, by far the best place to grab food and drink in Greek town.. Ting and Roxy are so friendly and honest that I personally can't stop coming in when in Chicago. I could tell that this place is ran efficiently from the first time I walked in.. Who's ever hiring the staff is on par. MUST STOP IN IF IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.. Try everything..😉”
“Got the smoked whipped feta appetizer and the pastrami sandwich and they were both excellent. Idk what rock I’ve been under but I’m so glad I stopped by here! Will definitely be back to try some more things on the menu. They also have happy hour during the week and indoor and outdoor seating.”
“Passed by this place all the time, finally stepped in. The atmosphere is great, I really like the music during weekday dinner, and it wasn't noisy. Staff is nice and food comes out really quick. I had the shrimp and grits, it was so delicious! The Mediterranean salad was also excellent with a large quantity, took both of the leftovers home!”
“The food was delicious, Miss Kathleen is the best. She greeted us every morning when we came down from staying at the hotel. There was a full coffee bar, fruit, cereal, toast and bagels. Apple juice, orange juice, water The seating was plentiful”
“I just had the passionfruit mimosa and the poached pear flatbread for brunch today, and it was incredible! Way better than the brunch I had yesterday at Cira (which was also good). I'm also big on atmosphere, and I really loved the vibes here. Kind of a cross between modern bar/cafe and 50s diner. Really cool. Highly recommend!”
“They offer a solid menu with a wide variety of options to choose from, which is definitely a plus. I ordered a bagel with scrambled eggs, caramelized onions, and cheese — the flavors were good and the ingredients seemed fresh. It was a satisfying breakfast sandwich overall. I also tried their mocha and specifically asked for it to be made less sweet. Unfortunately, it still came out far too sweet for my taste, which was a bit disappointing. The space itself is nice, and the service was fine, but overall the experience felt a bit underwhelming for the price. I ended up paying $22 for a fairly simple breakfast, and while it wasn’t bad, it didn’t quite match the value I was expecting. For that reason, I’m not sure I’d return.”
“Pretty good coffee and a nice place to sit and eat. Music playing helps keep the environment chill and the staff are very attentive.”
“The staff were nice, but the environment seemed dusty and the food was fairly mid given how much you're paying for it.”
“Great food Get the Ruben The smash burger was great and the fries were tasty and crispy 10/10 would recommend”
