A place very dear to my heart. As soon as I first arrived in Chicago, this place proved to be warm, friendly, cozy and always welcoming. The staff is always nice and the coffee is always top-notch. Recommended!

Went for coffee elsewhere but it was closed so came here for the first time. Cute and clean inside. Ordered hot chocolate with oatmilk, mandala coffee, chocolate muffin, guava cheese puff pastry. SO GOOD!

Too expensive for the multiple options you have in Pilsen, they have prices as high as Starbuck downtown. And the service is too slow, not at all efficient if you compare it to the other coffee shops in the area.

I stumbled upon this cafe yesterday while walking in Pilsen. I ordered a lavender latte, and let me tell you… it was the BEST lavender latte I have ever tried! I loved the cafe’s decor as well and it was very clean. The staff/owner was super friendly and inviting. I am looking forward to my next visit to Mandala Cafe soon! ?

Of course the coffee, food, and customer service are a 10/10 here, everyone is so sweet. But also bless them for actually having outlets for working!

Another Pilsen favorite! I came across this place when I was desperately looking for coffee after an interesting dental appointment right across the street. This cafe is located a block from the pink line. It is a combination of cafe + tiny restaurant vibes + local grocery store + mini book store + art gallery; it truly has it all! You can even get some zaza or "unholy" drinks (see pictures) if you're into that. The service was really friendly. Surprisingly, the guy behind the counter asked me not to tip since I had only ordered a large coffee. Gotta love places that aren't money hungry! I tipped either way cause why not? I had the honey and lavender latte. Two of my favorite flavors together! It was a delicious and smooth sip. I highly recommend you try this place if you're in the Pilsen area.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! I arrived here by chance and absolutely loved the atmosphere, the service, the coffee, and the pastry.
Really fantastic, homey and cute little coffee/sandwich shop. Some of my favorite coffee in the area! Amazing iced mocha. The sausage, egg and cheese croissant is also out of this world.

First time here. They offer a variety of coffee, tea, as well as a variety of breakfast sandwiches on either a croissant, or 1 of three types of bagels, everything, plain, or cinnamon raisin. I ordered the sausage and egg on a plain bagel. They gave me the everything bagel instead. I usually don't complain anyway, but in this case I will say that got it wrong, but they got it right, if you know what I mean. That everything bagel was on point. The cinnamon roll was good as well. Will definitely be back here.

I would recommend the lattes ☕️ or lavender mint tea ? the music is very relaxing and the employees are kind :) They have cute outdoor seating on the historic 18th strip during the warmer months as
