I ordered through Postmates recently, and the food is amazing, so I decided to come in today! The decor is so lovely and the service is great as well. I'm so glad I got to dine in. Their outside patio is cute, and they have lots of seating available inside/ out. It was pretty busy. I can't wait to come back and enjoy. New favorite place! Their vegetarian and vegan options are amazing.Vegetarian options: They can sub egg with vegan egg, they also have beyond sausage, non diary alternatives and more!

Very delicious food! The staff is always lovely. It's a local owned business so that's always nice to support! I highly recommend if you are looking a yummy place to eat in Roger's Park!
I never left a review? OH MAN forgive me!Smack Dab is an absolute neighborhood GEM: A casual but trendy, modern and inclusive café with phenomenal breakfast / brunch sandwiches, small-batch hand-made donuts, killer specialty lattes, and just the sweetest most amazing owners and employees. I have been visiting off and on for over 4 years now and took it for granted that I must've left a glowing review ages ago.I love the ambiance: cozy and clean, relaxing and trendy. The interior has grown over the years to allow for more seating (proving how popular it is with us locals), including the lovely outdoor patio. The food is excellent: I think the size actually increased. I appreciate the multiple options for different dietary restrictions (vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, lactose intolerance, etc.), but also, it's just gourmet and *delicious.* And, the menu changes seasonally, which is fun. The March Special Corned Beef Sandwich was DREAMY and I love the seasonally inspired cake donuts and baked goods. (Shout out to my past go-to's, the Quiches with side salad and I Bee-lieve her Lattes, which sadly are no longer on the menu. ?)Smack Dab are great people: They have an email newsletter, offer multiple coupons and deals, rewards points, does Pizza nights (or used to do these, at least?), and charitably FEEDS THE COMMUNITY.HIGHLIGHTS: Specialty Lattes, Breakfast Sandwiches, Cake Donuts. Great value Combos available at times! (Thanks for extending the Northside Restaurant Week combo deal $20 for Bestest Sandwich, Latte, and 3 Donuts!)Seriously, everything is pretty freaking awesome, you really can't go wrong. Highly recommend for Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, or just Coffee and hanging out.Dietary restrictions: Vegan, Lactose-free, Gluten-free options. Haven't checked on nuts allergies, but very serious about no cross-contamination.Wheelchair accessibility: Small and narrow café, Wheelchair probably limited to outdoor patio, may be difficult to maneuver.

Best breakfast sandwiches in Roger’s Park - hands down. Got the lox w/ giardinera cream cheese and that was delicious too. Good vibes all
Smack Dab is a reliable spot for coffee aficionados and food enthusiasts alike. With a diverse menu catering to various dietary restrictions, including vegan, gluten-free, and more, it's a welcoming spot for all.The coffee is consistently top-notch, providing the perfect pick-me-up. And pair it with one of their delectable bakery items.While the food options are plentiful and accommodating, the small space can sometimes feel a bit cramped, especially during peak hours.The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff create a welcoming vibe that keeps customers coming back.

I love Smack Dab. So yummy.

Really yummy. Their food is ready fast and service is amazing. This place is worth to try.
Smack Dab is definitely one of my favorite places in the city. They are inclusive, friendly, have a killer menu and very community oriented. All around amazing. I love they have vegan and gluten free options, and regularly have versions of their monthly sandwich specials that accommodate those restrictions. Definitely stop in and give them a try. I love adding their onion jam to their grits bowls for an extra zing and really enjoy their GF Vegan house made focaccia for my favorite Vegan Green & Jam sandwich.Vegetarian options: They have a lot of options to switch up to accommodate.Vegan meats to swap out their meat options.Dietary restrictions: They are very good about helping and having options with dietary restrictions. Vegan beyond meat, JUST egg (vegan egg), vegan cheese, vegan breads/donuts, GF/V chocolate pepita bread, GF/V house made focaccia... They even have options for Vegan/ deglutenized pizza when they do pizza pop ups.

Wonderful as always.Vegetarian options: Great options. Love the egg sandwiches.
Your Smokey Burrito is a hefty serving of goodness. It's enough for two meals. The herbal iced tea is so refreshing, I love it even in the winter.Dietary restrictions: I'm sensitive to anything in the Allium family (onions, garlic, chives). I've stopped ordering from Smack Dab because you won't allow modifications for most items. I was a good customer but if I can't customize my order, there are plenty of other places that will accommodate my dietary needs.
Food and staff are extremely subpar. A cockroach ran under the table. Id rather be a 8 yr old getting served a Subway sandwhich by Jerrod himself than ever go here again!

What’s not to love? High quality food, friendly service, and a great community staple.
The best sufganyots I’ve ever had!Place is small, good music. Can’t wait to try the Sammie with goat cheese. Maybe today ! Love that they are community minded. Wish more places were.
