We’re still figuring out what’s good. We’ve figured out the pancakes and side of eggs are good. Chicken sandwich is 0 stars. The omelettes are super dry and flavorless. Still need to try the burgers, etc. Kinda hit or miss, mostly miss so far though.

I ordered a chai latte that was cold and was mostly milk. It was an over priced cup of warm milk.

Breakfast at this warm, eclectic eatery is a wonder. The service is as warm and intimate as the food. Very fine coffee. Unparalleled mimosa. Legendary baked goods. Not to be missed if you’re anywhere near Chicago’s West Loop.

Definitely a place to people watch as much as just get a coffee. It has a big, open, bright interior. Some table seating and some more lounge-like. Always seems busy but the turnover is pretty fast so I’ve always been able to get a good place to sit. I appreciate that it’s not Starbucks.Parking: If you can grab a street parking spot in front count yourself lucky. It’s hit or miss. Worst case is you have to park a block away.
While we enjoyed sitting outside, I can't say I'd return. My boyfriend and I had both had chicken salad sandwiches. It was overpriced and dry. His order was wrong and the man at the counter literally argued with him about fixing it. Mid Kitchen around the corner has much better food and service.

The portions are on a small side, but that's not necessarily a bad thing because you can also enjoy their pastries. The food is absolutely delicious. I had a ham and gruyere cheese. Finger licking good + an apricot danish. While it is a busy place and usually there's a line, it's a counter order place, you're given the table number. You order and sit and your food is being brought to you. Interestingly that set up seems to be faster than any other breakfast place I've been to. Highly recommended.

Wow! This place gets darn crowded with a lot of youngsters. But hey, the ordering is quick and service is impeccable even on a crowded day! It makes it easy since you order at the counter and then go find a table. I've never had to wait too long for my food. I get the avocado wrap which is just perfect. It's fresh and not mushy. And the pico de gallo makes my Hispanic heart happy! My daughter enjoys the waffles and they're good but not too much for her to have sugar crash in the mid morning ?. Parking can be hard here, but to me, it's so worth it. My only suggestion would be the size of the water cups- they're a little small and the water is self-serve, so if you've got a big water drinker like my wife, you'll find yourself getting up out of your chair a couple times. But those are only small details- this place is a classic and the whole family loves it!

Had a iced green tea that was brewed way too hot or way to long. Totally bitter and not drinkable.

The cashier at this place looks nasty, this girl with tattoos is always scratching her body and later on touching the food, not coming back ever again
