The ladies behind the counter were very nice. I had the chicken tinga empanada and it was so good. One more shred of chicken, and that thing would have exploded. It was very flavorful! I also had the Pink Line latte which was so good. The donuts looked amazing but I decided to restrain myself, but will definitely have to grab one on my next visit. There is street parking around and on a Sunday, it was easy breezy. Not sure what it's like during the rest of the week.

We arrived around 9:30 on a Thursday morning and it was fairly busy with customers coming in and out or choosing to sip on their coffees in house.

With ample seating in the front of the house or back, there's plenty of space to relax while the Latin music serenades you quietly in the background. You can also cozy up to the bar, surrounded by a variety of lovely plants, and watch your coffee creation be made.

We got a bunch of things, but our absolute favorite was the pecorino biscuit. That thing with jam and butter was truly divine. We also got the biyali but with Salmon. I'm not the biggest giardiniera fan so I'd recommend the biyali without it. I'd also recommend getting it with the smoked trout because with Salmon it tasted like other loxs. The sourdough cinnamon roll was solid and the sourdough wasn't overpowering. I would just say, make sure to get it warmed up. Hibiscus key lime pie was good, but nothing to ring home about.

You could actually taste the banana flavor and it paired really well with the espresso without being overly sweet. The cheesy spinach croissant was flaky, buttery, and really delicious flavor-wise with a good balance of cheese and spinach. I just wish it had been warmed or toasted a little more since it didn't taste super fresh when I went. It was also a bit hard to peel off the wrapper without some of the pastry sticking to it. The café itself has a cute atmosphere, although the price point feels a little high for the neighborhood. They also have macarons, wine, and other bakery items available, which gives it more of an upscale French café feel.

I have had that in several cold brews at several different well established coffee shops in Chicago and it's delicious when you need a sugar boost. The barista did it but he also shared it didn't make sense. It was uncomfortable. But I didn't let that mar my experience. I still have continued to order my beverage with that barista.

I had the red Chilaquiles, hubby ordered the Honey Chicken and Waffles and we also ordered the lemon and blueberries corn hotcakes to share. Every dish was beautifully presented like someone put a lot of thought in making them appetizing. Flavor wise every single one was awesome, either chilaquiles being the weakest one but still good. The chicken and waffles was to die for, sweet enough - no need for maple syrup with tender and crispy large breast portion. The Benedict's were really, really good, but the star was the corn hotcakes. One of them pancakes was the lemon, the other was full of berries.

Ordered a breakfast burrito which comes with skillet potatoes. I liked the flavor of those. The burrito was great - egg, chorizo, avocado, and cheese. We split pancakes as well which were good and came with berries and cream. Really liked it here - the locations are 10-20min away from central CHI but the drive is worth it.
