With a cozy locals vibe, there was a mix of young professionals on laptops and families starting the morning. The bright aesethics of Mexican heritage and decor celebrating local artists make the space inspiring and energizing. The coffee was great. I got the horchata latte, which tasted even better than I hoped. I also ordered a El Chavo Torta, a deceptively simple sandwich that was incredibly delicious. I don't know what they put in the bread or what magical place they bought the cheese from, but my mouth is watering just thinking about it. When I'm in Chicago again, La Malinche is on my list of must visit spots.

This was my second visit and it delivered just as hard as the first. The Food What sets this place apart is the quality of ingredients. You can taste the freshness in every dish. The Service Attentive, friendly, and never rushed us. Exactly what you want when you're spending quality time with the people who matter. The Vibe It's cozy, warm, and the kind of spot where catching up with people you love just flows naturally. We lost track of time -- in the best possible way.

It's super nice back here! It started drizzling and the staff was quick to put up umbrellas. They have a really great team who was very kind to the two year old's we had at our table. The iced vanilla latte I had was really good! The actual food was hit or miss at our table, but I enjoyed my veggie skillet and eggs. Afterwards we wandered around the space and checked out some of the art. It's a really cool spot, and would be awesome for an event or company party!

I ordered a drink with cold foam, only to find out after my drink was handed to me that the cold foam wasn't available. I wish they had mentioned that when I ordered so I could've chosen something else. As for the atmosphere, it definitely feels like a locals spot, and it was pretty evident who the regulars were some friendlier than others. We happened to sit next to an influencer who didn't seem too pleased with our presence, which made things a little awkward. Overall, the coffee was good, but the experience didn't quite live up to the reviews I had seen. I'd maybe go back and try something else.

We got a chilaquiles and chorizo benedict. I thought the chilaquiles were good and very comfort food. The chorizo benedict was more solid, my boyfriend said he wished he'd gotten a chorizo omelette instead. I did agree that it felt like the flavors didn't gel together as well / the chorizo was more masked. Overall this is a nice breakfast place but I feel with most breakfast places (including this one), it's good food you could make at home for less money. But if you don't feel like cooking/want to eat out, def a cute spot.

Everything, and I mean everything, was delicious. This will be my new take out dim sum and bakery spot in Chicago now. Give it a shot, you won't regret it.

Recommendations: Breakfast Meal…read moreBBQ Pork Bun Pineapple Milk Custard Bun We went to st. Anna for breakfast on Labour Day morning. We ordered the breakfast meal sets, which came with two mini pineapple buns and spam macaroni. We also ordered a breakfast plate with scrambled eggs and fried spam. The breakfast meals come with hot drinks and are only around $9, which is a great value. There are only 5 tables for dine in, first come first serve! The bakery also offers a variety of freshly made pastries and buns. Our favorites were the BBQ pork bun and the pineapple milk custard bun. Both were flavorful and fresh. It is a great spot for an affordable breakfast and some fresh bakery items.

Saint Anna is a traditional Hong Kong-style bakery and café offering authentic, high-quality…read moreproducts at very reasonable prices. Before the pandemic, we used to visit every weekend. Our family and extended family often ordered birthday cakes from them, and their mango cake was our favorite. When mangoes were in season, they used plenty of fresh mango in the cakes. Their cakes are always fresh, light, fluffy, and not too sweet. My daughter and I also love their individual cakes, especially the Black Pearl and Walnut Cake. Their pineapple buns and egg tarts are her favorites as well. Saint Anna has also been part of our daughter's childhood. When she was little, my husband used to bring her here before or after Chinese school in Chinatown on Sundays. Her go-to breakfast items were the Butter Bun, Ham and Macaroni in Soup, and Diced Ham and Corn in Cream Rice. As she got older, Curry Chicken with Potato became her favorite. She especially loved the potato cubes soaked in the delicious, mild curry sauce. She would always ask for more potatoes and less chicken, haha! Saint Anna is a family-run business, and Sara and Irene, the daughters-in-law, used to take care of the front of house. They were always so friendly and accommodating. After a 6-year hiatus, we finally returned one Friday recently when we happened to be in the area with a friend. Sara is now a co-owner, and it was wonderful to see her again. She immediately recognized us and was so warm and welcoming. She even asked me to relay her greetings to my sisters when she greeted us and again when we were leaving. Those little gestures made our return feel especially meaningful. We were still full from a big dim sum lunch, so my daughter picked up 2 Mini Pineapple Buns and 2 Paper-Wrapped Sponge Cakes, while I got a Red Bean Roll. Everything was fresh, soft, and delicious, and the total came to just under $8, really a great value. Our friend also purchased 2 Fried Sticky Rice Dumplings with Chicken. I had never really paid attention to their limited dim sum selection before, so that was a nice discovery. We love Saint Anna and will definitely be back whenever we're in the area.
