    On my second visit, I got the crispy shrimp toast, ube sticky bun, and the miso brown butter banana cake. The shrimp toast had some great flavors and textures going on, however, it was cooked unevenly and a bit too greasy. The sticky bun and cake were phenomenal though. There is a strong ube flavor throughout the bun with ube paste lined on the inside. The bun itself was perfectly soft. If I had one critique - wish there was a lil more frosting cuz I prefer my sticky buns to be diabeetus-inducing. The banana cake was simply perfection. Super moist with lots of fresh banana chunks beneath the frosting. There was an appropriate amount of frosting too. This cake has got to be the best menu item. Don't skip it!

    My sister and I were looking for some unique gourmet fusion place that would be something out of the ordinary breakfast on the way to the airport as she made her way back to Nashville. This fit the bill! Great food, unique style and very tasty. Something she wouldn't find in her hometown. Everything was prepared well and loved all the sauces and accompaniments. Service was quick, since we were on the way to catch a flight, that was important. Great beverage selection too. Very cute and cozy spot to get breakfast.

    Stopped in to try the baked goods. Tried the brown butter mochi donut, black sesame rice krispy, ube cinnamon roll and passion fruit and creme brûlée malasades. The brown butter mochi donut was not what I expected as it wasn't a donut but more of a bar. It had the consistency of mochi with a chocolate topping. It was not very sweet which was nice but also there was not much of a brown butter flavor. I would not order it again. The ube cinnamon roll had a wonderful ube flavor to it. The cinnamon roll itself was unfortunately was not super soft. If not for the texture this would have been up there with my favorite given the great ube flavor. The black sesame rice krispy treat was really good. The black sesame flavor was very prevalent and the rice krispy was soft, gooey and chewey. The star of the desserts was the passionfruit malasades. The passion fruit was my favorite as the curd had a strong passionfruit flavor that was citrusy and bright. The texture of the malsades was nice and airy and sugar coated. The creme brûlée malasades had a nice crunchy sugar shell just like a creme brûlée however the flavor was not very strong. Overall the desserts here are quite tasty and they have unique asian flavors.

    Really cool breakfast spot and loved the farmhouse vibes and decor inside! There were a couple of tables and luckily we snagged a table without an issue. You walk in and order with the cashier. There are so many options of baked goods, I wish I had the appetite to try them all! We ordered the ube sticky bun, char siu bun, and the breakfast sandwich. The savory dishes were fresh and tasty! The ube sticky bun was our favorite! The ube inside was super authentic and delicious. Cant wait to come back for more!

    I stopped by Oromo one afternoon for a quick pick-me-up. The woman working the register was so…read moresweet and welcoming. I asked her for some recommendations and she suggested one of the frozen drinks. I'm so glad she did because I have been craving it ever since! They have a few frozen drinks to choose from, but I went with the cold brew + hazelnut truffle. It's made with housemade hazelnut milk, cold brew, cacao, frozen bananas, housemade coconut caramel, maple syrup, vanilla, and seasalt. Trust me-- it is just as heavenly as it sounds! I forgot to get photos of it because I drank it so quickly--sorry! The space is so cute inside and it's in a fun area to wander around, right in the heart of Lincoln Square. Can't wait to come back!

    I wanted to love Oromo Cafe. I popped in for lunch during a visit to Lincoln Square, primarily…read morebecause the menu sounded fabulous - so many plant based options, including house-made milks. Unfortunately the menu overpromises and the food underdelivers, at least that day. -Lentil soup: good flavor, but very watery, more like broth than soup. The amount of soup barely reached a third of the way up the bowl, and the price of $7 for the bowl size was candidly just not worth it. -Beet hummus sandwich: again, good flavor, but I was anticipating a sandwich (as per menu description). What was presented was a single piece of naan spread with a thin layer of beet hummus, scattered with a few toppings. For $13 my expectations were higher. The beet hummus was delicious; with the goal of recreating this at home I asked a member of the staff about the ingredients. Unfortunately rather than saying, "I'm not sure, but let me check," they responded with "I don't know. I just started and I don't know most of the menu items." There is a lot of fabulous food in Chicago. Although Oromo Cafe is fine, I recommend saving ones dining experience and money for something truly fabulous.

    Five stars in every way. The two of us arrived on a Saturday evening without reservations. We were…read moretold that the place was fully reserved for the evening. We were crushed and at a loss for what to do. We waited on the couch, deliberating our options. After about 20 minutes, the restaurant was able to work us in! (Note that we were really lucky. A number of people came in after us but were turned away.) Service was fantastic, too. We ordered right away and didn't have a long wait for food and drinks. My friend and I had different glasses of Georgian wine; I had Alazani Valley, which was luscious. We shared megruli khachapuri and soko ketze (mushroom caps filled with cheese). Incredible. This was really one of those meals to never forget.

    Really fun to try Georgian cuisine for the first time. Got Delivery, and I would imagine it would…read morebe much better in person. Ajapsandali: 4/5. Eggplant lovers rejoice. Lovely spices. Definitely get again (not for my wife though, who doesn't like eggplant). Ajaruli: 4/5. Make sure to reheat thoroughly if you get delivery. Nice bread with heaps and heaps of cheese. I can see this being a lot more fun fresh. Honey Cake: 4/5. Sweet and caramel. My toddler and I gobbled this up quickly (not for my wife though, who doesn't like caramel). Julliene: 3/5. Cheese, chicken, and mushroom, solid but wouldn't be my priority to get again Soko Ketze: 2.5/5. Cheese and mushroom, but really that was it, so I got bored quickly. Not great value for $20.
