“Great space, kind service and delicious food. I’ve tried their burger and fries, and this is how I imagine “hand-cut fries” when I hear it. Will be back again to try the croissant sandwiches 😋”
“Great great service and amazing coffee and food. Try the napoleon cake”
“A very pleasant place with genuinely friendly staff. From the very first minutes, you feel truly welcome — everyone is smiling, helpful, and creates a warm, cozy atmosphere rather than just “doing their job.” It’s a place you want to stay longer in and definitely come back to. A must-visit 🤍”
“Delicious baked goods and latte i really recommend this. Good and gentle staff i promise you will not regret it.”
“I’m visiting Chicago and was looking for a spot where I could comfortably work, grab lunch, and enjoy a good cup of coffee — Sweet & Salt turned out to be exactly what I needed. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which immediately sets the tone for a great experience. The food is delicious, the coffee is solid, and the overall vibe is just perfectly chill. It’s the kind of place where you can settle in, focus, and feel right at home. Highly recommend!”
“Everything was so good. The avocado salmon sandwich was 10/10. Also the matcha pistachio!! You all should go check it out.”
“Cozy Spot with Amazing Coffee and Friendly atmosphere! I visited The Sweet&Salt Cafe for the first time and was immediately charmed by the warm, welcoming atmosphere. With my husband we ordered Americano and Cappuccino and it was one of the best coffees we've had in a long time—perfectly brewed and with a rich, smooth flavor. Avocado toast was delicious 🤤!!! The flavors in each dish were perfectly balanced, and the ingredients tasted fresh. The staff was incredibly friendly and provided excellent service!!! I appreciate that the staff was able to make recommendations from the menu! However, the quality of the coffee and baked goods, combined with the welcoming vibe, makes it a place I'll definitely be returning to. It's a great spot for a relaxed morning or a quick, high-quality coffee break.”
“First off the food is here is absolutely fabulous. I’ve had the cinnamon roll and the croissant and both are special in their own unique ways. The service is also great. I left my latte on the table while I went to go wash my hands and someone threw it away, they remade it immediately! I will be back”
“Cute cafe up in Lincoln Park. All the pastries looks amazing. Ended up trying the blueberry bun which was good and not overly sweet. the mango matcha wasn’t my favorite, but the tiramisu latte i would definitely come back for”
“Solid bakery cafe. The menu is very limited but my lasagna was very tasty. The Oreo cheesecake was rich and tasty but a little dry and the crust was not as good as the filling. Almond croissant was very good. Chocolate cookie was a little unsatisfying - not rich enough. Service was very good but a little slow just because there was only one person working the counter and bringing out food. Felt very much like we were in a cafe in Europe somewhere.”
