Bright clean modern shop that supports local artists with their art for sale on the walls. Lots of specialty drinks but a bit sterile and loud because of all the hard surfaces — the laid back and chill Gallery Cafe on North Ave is a lot better in that

We walked to Gallery Cafe in River West and it was the perfect Sunday Morning cafe! I ordered The Monet which was pesto, eggs and provolone on a croissant, and it was delicious. The selection of coffee, cold brews and teas looks incredible and all very reasonably priced. There was a good amount of seating, with outlets and natural sunlight. I am excited to come back and try out more food and drinks!

The spicy bob ross had great flavor - $10 total for the sandwich but the coffee is at such a great price and tons of options. Fun to watch lots of dogs coming in and out of apartment lobby it's in.

The honey lavender latte was really good here. I ordered online and when I got there they had no record of my order and told me it would be 30 minutes to make my sandwich lol. Other than that the Mona Lisa was pretty good apple butter was a unique twist.

Great cafe! In the bottom floor of an apartment building with lots of windows, so it's pretty bright. The area doesn't get a ton of foot traffic, so it's never too crowded.The mona lisa breakfast sandwich was surprisingly good, and breakfast can be custom-made to order. The hazelnut latte was also flavorful and not overly sweet.

Great little spot! Brightly lit and not too crowded. I got the Mona Lisa breakfast sandwich and it was exactly what I expected, would definitely come back to try more breakfast sandwiches. It was also cool because the barista told me you can pretty much mix and match whatever you want in terms of sandwiches, coffee, and smoothies. I also got a hazelnut latte and my friend got one of the fun seasonal latte flavors and both were good. I also did a diy strawberry pineapple smoothie with mango juice; it was fine but not the best (but maybe I picked a bad flavor combo).

I recommend this place over a lot of the fancier coffee shops in the neighborhood, which tend to have sterile or even unfriendly & chilly vibes. Staff here went above & beyond to be welcoming and offer fun tea options. Relaxed, warm atmosphere - not snooty. Super dog friendly too.

I purchased 2 croissants for $9 and they had to be the stalest croissants I’ve ever had. The barista asked twice if I wanted it toasted and I declined. I didn’t understand why until I got home, they were hard as a rock, not fresh and completely inedible.
This is a dog friendly coffee shop (dog treats inside) that also has yummy sandwiches. I typically get the spicy Bob Ross or a bagel with cream cheese or the coffee drinks. It's convenient for a quick bite and very tasty!

Went in to try this place for the first time. Had a lovely conversation with Chris and Dawson. The Mona Lisa was a really tasty sandwich, loved the focaccia bread, and the latte was perfect! Great vibes.

Great neighborhood coffee shop! Their breakfast sandwiches are pretty decent.

Used to live by the wicker park location and loved it, now live by this location and wanted to try it out! Very different vibe but loved my time here. Same delicious food, and my latte was delicious.Thanks to all the windows and an early spring day it was so filled with natural light-- lovely place go get some work done in a quiet spot. And so many dogs popped in! Staff were very friendly and efficient :) excited to be able to come back on another neighborhood walk
Friendly staff, great location, and great coffee!
