“Great options in pastries and was warmly greeted by Miss Paige! Thank you for making my experience a great one!”
“Quaint little coffee shop with basic breakfast options at low prices. The bacon, egg, and cheddar on buttermilk biscuit, is a classic. You can replace the biscuit with a bagel. It was delicious! The Eckhart Park has sausage, egg, cheddar, arugula, pepper jelly, on a buttermilk biscuit. Lovely! Last but not least, the Commercial Park is a sandwich with bacon, egg, cheddar, hot pepper mayo, with a choice of bagel: plain, cheese or everything bagel. As for drinks, you can choose from drip coffee or espresso. They also specialize in gingerspice latte, pumpkinspice latte, peppermint mocha, and lavender matcha latte. I love how it is conveniently next to the hotel lobby. You don't even need to go out of the hotel. There's a connecting door inside the lobby.”
“Friendly staff! Bread and pastries were so delicious. Especially the chocolate muffin was the best muffin I have ever tried!! Donut was fluffy and not dry at all:)”
“I love this place. I live in Missouri, where this infused beverage concept hasn't quite taken off like here. Every time i come into town, I make it a point to swing thru buzzed bakery. The best bakery in Chicago! I got the lemonade with a triple shot of f it, and it was heaven.”
“They made me a delicious vegan chocolate raspberry birthday cake! Vegans and non vegans loved it.”
“Cute little bakery attached to Acme Hotel. I ❤ the cake ball variety and flavors. They are so yummy. I'm a huge coconut fan and Coconut Dream donut was wonderful.”
“Really good ice mocha! The chocolate croissant was delicious as well. I wish it had been warm, but they were about to close and had everything shut down”
“Gross, sad, and dry breakfast sandwiches. Delicious cake balls though.”
“Huge disappointment. I used to get the trail mix scone weekly and when I got one here on my trip back to Chicago it was stale. The cinnamon roll was also very dry. I’m not sure if the quality has gone down or it is just this location. They had very minimal selection at 9a on a Saturday and they weren’t expecting a delivery of more pastries that day. The furniture was stained. The dark matter coffee is good, so if you’re just needing a coffee would still recommend. Otherwise try your luck on a fresher pastry at Eatily on the same block”
“Oof. Place was pretty dirty in a way you can tell it hadn't been cleaned for a while. Gal at register looked beyond annoyed that I was there. And when I saw my dirty chai was being made with liquid Oregon mix...I knew this place was a no-go.”
“Best mocha I’ve ever had. Couldn’t pick which cake ball looked the best so I got one of each—definitely recommend that!!”
