Hope you enjoy continued success!

The bagel was perfectly toasted. The elote cream cheese you need a little bit more than they give but less than 2 containers. The spread has a kick too it and corn in it... Delicious.

I also saw that they do yoga on the roof with feea and sign up... I would check them out again but I wish they had a little more outside seating on the first level. Maybe next time I'll try the roof but my knees weren't working today.

Many of the customers sit there in their computers which created a fairly quiet setting. I've had their chai tea, lattes and teas. This time I just went for the peppermint tea.

The savoury waffles were topped with avocado, cheese, sundried tomatoes and sriracha sauce. The waffles themselves were light and airy while the toppings were fresh. I had never had anything like it before, and will definitely order it again when I'm in the neighbourhood. It is not however substantial enough to be a meal in itself. The lentil soup was incredible. The spices melded together perfectly to create a rich, hearty flavour. It reminded me of dal makhani (Indian cuisine) more than Middle Eastern style lentil soup. Service was quick. The staff were not overly friendly, but were totally unpretentious. The cafe was cozy and the restroom was clean. Overall, I recommend a visit here if you are in the Oak Park area and want to pick up something quick and light.

I got the espresso cardamom bun because of how delicious it looked! I also got the olive oil cake because it seemed highly recommended based off reviews. The bun was super soft and definitely tasted fresh, but personally I didn't really like the flavor and wish I got something else. I liked the olive oil cake and the texture was perfectly moist with a crispy crust. The coffee was also delicious. I ordered a lavender mocha iced, and it came with a creamy foam on top. I would definitely want to get their cookies if I'm ever in the area again because it seemed like almost everyone there was ordering one.

It's a great little coffee shop (gaming is in a separate room) with fun options like horchata lattes in addition to a variety of coffees and teas. They also have donuts and some very good empanadas! Best of all? This place is open late, ADA friendly (easy to nav with a walker or wheelchair, variety of seating options, big roomy bathroom, etc), and 100% dog friendly. Most places your dog is only welcome on an outside patio. Ashley's Cafe welcomes your pup indoors. I got to meet the very kind owner, she really wants to make her business a spot for the neighborhood to come together. Support this small, local business!

When I entered there was no one there but the owner. I decided to order Bodega Combo #3 with an upgrade to a Horchata. I was told there were no Columbian empanadas (Bodega combo # 2) so that is what led me to order the other. I swear it took the owner 15 - 20 minutes to make both the empanadas and horchata. The empanadas were frozen, not fresh, and placed in an air fryer. The drink made had tons of ice and just as much cinnamon. Personally, there was no balance. I did not enjoy it. The empanada choices: are spinach & artichoke, chicken, and vegetarian. The best was the vegetarian, then the chicken followed by the spinach and artichoke. In my honest opinion, for an $11.50 meal, you would have been better off grabbing a $3 bag of tostinos pizza rolls and coke from the dollar tree and being more filled and satisfied. I was not impressed and I honestly believe that the space has so much more potential to draw in a larger crowd if the food choices were improved.

Perfectly sweet and refreshing, and the horchata syrup had a good but not overwhelming amount of cinnamon. I also enjoyed the chicken salad sandwich. The chicken salad was tasty. It was a good combination of sweet and savory flavors with pieces of chicken, red grapes, walnuts, diced celery, and the cafe's homemade dressing. However, I wasn't as keen on the croissant that the sandwich was served on. It was a tad dry and not as buttery as I would have liked. But I would definitely come back for the matcha lattes!
