I was originally given this recommendation from another cafe I frequent. You walk into a walkway leading down into a small, long space which almost seems like an underground entrance which is unique. The Latin-inspired theme is infused into the menu. It is apparent. I ordered a cappuccino. The roast was very light, almost faint but still smooth. The coffee had a great taste and although the tasting notes were not super apparent, the overall drink was still nice and enjoyable. The highlights of this menu are the piña brew and their unique pastry case infused with Spanish pairings. Overall, solid and would recommend
What an incredibly thoughtful through cafe. This is a local business I highly recommend supporting and starting your day or even an afternoon pickup with unique combinations of flavors and satisfactions. The environment is calm and quaint, the staff is so helpful talking you through the different options, and the baked goods were spectacular. Thank you so much Bueno Days!
Beautiful little coffee shop in Little Village! I came here with my child and partner on a Saturday morning around 10am. It was busy, There are about 5 areas to sit, maybe 20 seats. I got a cold brew and the spinach and feta quiche. The quiche was pretty tasty. The cold brew was good. My partner got the sweet corn latte, he said he wasn't sure it had espresso in it but loved it. This place is very pretty, a clean aesthetic, modern. Definitely recommend for new latte flavors, and if you love cold brew you'll love it here too.
Very kind barista. And spacious inside although there's a loud echo so bring headphones if you plan to work. I got an iced latte but they have an interesting menu I hope to try
I was really excited to check out this cafe after hearing great things and seeing their menu, but my experience fell a bit short. I got the smoky matcha, which sounded super interesting, but it mostly tasted like cereal milk and didn't have that distinct matcha flavor I was hoping for, especially at nearly $9. That said, the space itself is beautiful. There's plenty of seating, including some large communal tables, making it a great spot to hang out or work for a while. I'd definitely come back to try something else since the atmosphere is lovely, but the drink didn't quite live up to the hype for me.
Really cool coffee shop in the little village area. Seems like a nice place to meet friends or just chill for a bit. Ordering took quite a while, probably about a 15 minute wait to place an order then another 10 minutes to receive it since there was only 1 gal working both the register and bar. I felt bad for her!! She apologized to us many times so I'm sure she was feeling pressured. We were very understanding! Overall I wouldn't recommend stopping here if you're in a hurry, but it's a great spot to sit and hang for a bit. I absolutely loved the menu, it was hanging in the window with one side, showing all the photos of the drinks, which was really cool, and the other side, the drink names and descriptions. I've never seen a menu quite like this so I found it really awesome and appealing. There weren't a ton of food or snack options, a couple grab items and a few bakery items but nothing that looked too appealing to me so I passed. Since they don't have actual breakfast sandwiches, I would not recommend coming hungry. They also did not have a ton of seating if you are there to work from a laptop, and the Wi-Fi seemed to be a bit spotty, so I think it would be best to sit here with a book or meet up with friends to chat. Also I found it to be freezing inside and had to go to my car to get a sweatshirt! TL;DR: great spot to sit and hang with a friend or read a book, don't expect it to be a super quick grab and go spot, best for a good coffee drink.
Cute upscale but approachable neighborhood coffee spot. Ordered the Piña cold brew and the affogato with tortilla ice cream. Both drinks looked beautiful but the affogato was my fav as it was unique but approachable. Also really liked the cafe de olla - creamy, earthy, and relaxing. They really shoot outside the box here which is fun and refreshing as vanilla lattes are nice but where else is making piña lattes?
Interesting menú, quite unique taste. I tried this Orange vanilla matcha latte. Have to mix it well to taste the blend of all the flavors. Great staff, i like how kind they are to others and there's quite a lot of space to sit. I did 2 hr writing until they closed.
Looooooooooove this place so much, very unique specialty lattes, seasonal drinks, amazing baristas who are super nice and helpful. Pretty small so not a ton of seating but lots of lighting on the corner of the block. I got some corn latte that I loved, very cozy. Can't wait to return.
Came in on a Monday around 11am, very chill and beautiful space. I got the Piña Vera Cold Brew and it's pretty original giving a refreshing taste of a pina colada minus the alcohol and have the caffeine from the cold brew. Service was quick and the worker, wish we got their name, was very helping giving suggestions for everything and explaining everything. After mentioning we had a flight to catch they tried their best to get the drinks out on time. We made our flights btw.
Bueno Days is so beautiful! The space was light, open, and very aesthetically pleasing. I ordered the guayaba matcha and it was SO yummy!! I don't drink coffee but my friend said their drink was good as well. There's some nice seating, and I could definitely see this as a place to come and hang out for a bit.
Everything is amazing on my first time visiting, only issue if you visit this cafe to work too, their seating is very limited to where you can place your laptop at with nearby plugs + a table to reach :( Although, if you need somewhere to work for maybe 1-3 hours or a quick meeting with some matcha, this can work! Super photogenic location though and great drink service.
Bueno Days is such a thoughtfully designed spot. The location itself has been transformed beautifully--it's full of natural sunlight, plenty of plants, and comfortable seating that makes it feel welcoming the moment you walk in. The service was good, and I could tell they take pride in the setup, which made me even more curious about the story behind the café. Inside, people were studying, relaxing, and just enjoying the space, which says a lot about the vibe they've created. Definitely a place I'd come back to if I wanted a calm atmosphere with great energy.
We came here for some coffee. The staff was great and it didn't take long to get our drinks. It's definitely on the pricier side. They do however, offer some drinks that I've never seen offered anywhere else before. My wife ordered their Cafe de Olla, and I went with their Confleis. It tasted exaclty like the milk from a bowl of corn flakes with banana slices in it. It was amazing. They unfortunately offer only as an iced tea, and wouldn't mind having a hot version of this. I'm curious to see what their other offerings taste like. Will definitely be returning. read more
Would rate this 4.5 if I could. This place is so cutesy and vibey but VERY out of the way for most people that live in the city. Wish it were closer I'd frequent much more often. The confleis latte was very tasty, the cold foam was not too sweet and had a great thick texture. Unique latte flavor that I've never had before. Would love to try some of their other specialty syrups. Felt like a little oasis in Pilsen read more
I love the aesthetics here with cacti throughout the space. There are plenty of tables to work from, making it a great WFH spot (8/10). Service was amazing (8/10). The barista was super patient while I decided what to order. The Confleis Cold Brew (9.5/10) was SO good. The cold brew itself was light, but it paired perfectly with the cold foam. The foam had a denser, almost solid texture than a typical foam, which I actually loved. The buttery, salty corn flavor was absolutely divine. The Iced Momo Matcha (9/10) was another winner. I literally chugged it. The matcha was smooth, and I could still taste the matcha flavor. It wasn't quite as rich or umami-forward as I personally prefer, but all of the flavors worked together so well. read more

Went for the first time today and I am in loooove. This is a cute little shop that sits on the corner of the street. Nice natural light. The decor is super cute and feels like you're stepping into a culturally authentic place. The barista was friendly and made a great recommendation of the cardamom latte. I'll definitely be back to enjoy another specialty drink, a book and some natural vitamin D read more
The ambiance inside was great. Very cozy chill vibe. Not too much seating but that's okay. They were nice and gave us free Perrier with our drinks but I think this was a limited time thing. I did like the coffee we got. It was pretty good, though I'd say not special. My cousin loved his. They also have this very cool concept of giving cold brew concentrate sort of to go. Then once you bring the glass back there are refills for a cheaper price. This is nice cause you can taste all their cold brew and make yourself a cold brew latte at home and such! I wish I was able to try more things, this had the potential to be a 5/5! I'd definitely give it a shot. Parking is street read more

Love coming to Bueno Days in Kiubo Space in South Lawndale. I came with a friend and treated her to a drink and she loved her matcha tutti frutti drink. I always end up choosing something off the lab menu and went with confleis and loved the concept and the delivery of the drink. Slightly sweet with all the nostalgia feels I enjoyed this caffeinated drink that tasted like elevated cereal milk. The space itself is beautiful, and thoughtfully curated with other artisanal goods. The owners, Alma and Cris, are lovely as well and it's been fun to see the business thrive and bring attention to their community. read more

Mexico City style cafe in Little Village. The coffee offerings are heavily influenced by Mexican ingredients and Mexican-sourced coffee beans. Stunning and modern decor that is reminiscing to Mexican cafes in Mexico City (Roma/Condesa type vibes). The space is also a boutique store and flower shop. Friendly staff explained their menu items. Deducted a star because I was dismayed the café does not offer WiFi at all, so this is not ideal for getting work done or some studying on your laptop. Another gripe is the limited amount of seating space. Had to wait standing for a while until some patrons left. I think they can fit 2 or more tables in the space. Other than that, it is an elegant and cozy cafe worth checking out. read more

We had the opportunity to go to this great place twice over the past few days. The incredibly attentive and knowledgeable staff recommended their special winter coffee abrazos DE invierno. It was incredible. A very special drink. A beautiful combination of flavours and scents. Highly recommend this establishment and their special coffee. read more
