Reviews
So glad we chose this place. It was on a game day and we got in just before the big lines. I was worried it would take awhile to get the food. I did not need to worry. The food came out in less than 5 minutes! The service was fantastic. The coffee was huge! And so yummy. My partner almost licked his plate clean of the chilaquiles. The steak on it was so flavorful. My omelet could have used a bit more seasoning. But considering the crowds I was okay with it.
Great coffee-shop. The atmosphere is chill, not too loud, big up for the outdoor space which allows to really breath for a bit. The waitresses were really nice, and very great Chorizo Benedicts, so good !
Cute retro lunch cafe style place literally across the street from the Field Museum in Chicago. It's on a little cul de sac street so after you leave you kinda have to walk all the way around to get to the Field Museum but I'm glad I came here . They serve very tasty and unpretentious sandwiches or breakfast stuff. I had the Vegetarian Panini which was cooked mushrooms with avocado and crudite veggies on marbeled bread that was put in Panini press with chips and pickle . Very tasty . My friend had the blackened chicken on a bun and said it was a step above a regular chicken sandwich. I don't eat chicken so I didn't try it but he liked it. Serious cup of chamomile tea too which they gave me a to-go container for what I didn't finish. Staff are extremely nice . This place is laid back. It's on ground floor of big residential building. Recommended.
Brought a girl here for our first date. I found this place on Google and didn’t realize it was a cafe inside a condo building. The cafe had its own entrance so everything was legit. The place was very nice. It was a great place for a date. It wasn’t overcrowded but it was still busy enough to not be awkward. Staff was very friendly. Food was fast. Excellent experience overall!
If you know me, you know we have to break this down. Why 5 Stars, we’ll let’s think of the dining experience
1. Ambiance - 5 Stars. A fun little bistro on the corner of a semi- residential area. Not large which makes it quaint and personal.
2. Staff and Customer Service - 5 Stars. Cristal was great. Great recommendations, personal, not pushy and fast service. Attentive to refills on H2O.
3. Food - 4.5 Stars. It was fresh and good homemade flavor. Had the Lentil soup and the chicken (grilled) sandwich. French fries were average
4. Cleanliness - 4 Stars. Bathroom is communal with the dry cleaning so I didn’t have high expectations.
Overall - loved it and greatly recommend. Great price for food and great overall dining experience.
what a lovely place with good atmosphere , friendly fast service! great outdoor seating area but also a cozy tables inside. kitchen was super quick even on a Sunday morning ! Food is delicious, especially the alaskan omelette, greek salad 🥗 and the avocado 🥑 toast! Lattes were good, suggest taking triple espresso as for my taste . overall great experience and definitely suggest visiting if you are in the area

AWARDED 2 YUMS ON A SCALE OF 3
I was initially concerned about the chemicals from the cleaners in which the restaurant shares a space with. But the smoke smell from the grill was so overpowering that I eventually forget about the cleaners. The service is great, but the food is nothing to get excited about. I did like their french toast and their portion sizes are perfect, but the eggs and hash browns were disappointing. The restaurant was cool about substitutions and they even offer a gluten-free bread of some sort (i think english muffin, but i may be wrong).
