Service is friendly and quiet. Very clean little shop with huge sunny windows but you can still pick a dark little corner if that's your thing (like me). The bagels will run out daily and we were there on a Saturday at 2pm. So get there early unless you want a grilled cheese or a pastry. Or like me you're just going for coffee and conversation since I can't eat anything here anyways. (Which isn't their fault since I'm on an insanely restrictive diet.) No bathrooms for customers. But Jewel is a six minute walk and you know you need something from there anyways. Ask for the bathroom key code! All the way in the back of the store.

I took home a cinnamon roll that ended up being amazing. I also took home a chocolate croissant that my husband raved about. My iced honey latte was okay. I actually really wanted a matcha, but the nice worker confirmed that they use a matcha powder mix that has sugar in it. I'm very thankful to this worker for his honesty bc that's not something I'd ever want. With how popular matcha's gotten, they really need to do actual real, good matcha powder for matcha lattes if they want to sell matcha. That was disappointing.

There was a good crowd chillin' inside, and there were also a few tables outside for those who wish to enjoy their goodies along a busy stretch of sidewalk. I shared with my lovely wife (of course) and I'd say our favorite two items are the chocolate croissant and the cinnamon roll. Close behind is the classic croissant, followed by the cardamom bun. Aww heck, they were all good, and so we look forward to checking out Lost Larson again soon.

My husband had seen Q'Bo on Instagram recently, and since I am Colombian we made a day trip out of…read moreit from our house in the western burbs of Chicago. Let me tell you, it was absolutely divine and worth the hour into the city and hour back home! We both had 3 empanadas because we were so excited to try them (and we had been starving ourselves all day to save up for the trip!). We had the mechada empanada, the chorizo & potato, and the plantain & cheese and they were all phenomenal. I have tried so many empanadas throughout the US, and these are by far the best and most authentic empanadas I have had outside of my trips home to Colombia. The sizes are extremely generous, and you will not be disappointed in the crispiness of the crust made from authentic masa de harina. Plus the sauces including the Colombian aji were chef's kiss!! Every sauce was incredibly tasty and reminded me so much of home! I am considering placing a catering order for empanadas for my daughter's birthday next year! For drinks, I had the passion fruit smoothie in water, as well as a pistachio latte with actual pistachio cream dripped onto the sides, and my husband had an horchata latte with condensed milk and cinnamon on top. All of the drinks were unique, made with detail and love, and of the highest quality. We didn't sample any of the pastries for our lunch visit, but they all looked beautiful, mouth-watering, fresh and were handmade by Lilly. We were lucky enough to talk to the owners for a bit, and they are just the two nicest people you will ever meet. I can't wait to bring my Colombian family here for the arepas and tostones, and look forwarding to supporting this amazing business!

Cafe Urbano used to be one of my favorite neighborhood coffee shops. I've been a regular for nearly…read moretwo years, but unfortunately they've lost me as a customer. Since several of the longtime baristas left, the café has gone noticeably downhill. I don't blame them for leaving--it's common to see a single barista taking orders, preparing drinks, and making food all at once. As a result, wait times have increased significantly, especially if you order food, so be prepared to wait. My first major concern was with food safety. I watched a barista prepare my bagel directly on a countertop he had just wiped with a brown, soaked rag that had been dipped in murky, soapy water. The counter was still visibly wet when he placed my bagel on it. I politely asked if he could remake it, and he became visibly frustrated before tossing the replacement bagel toward me. Their rewards program is also unnecessarily confusing. On one visit, a barista refused to honor my free pastry reward. After trying to explain it, I eventually gave up and asked for a refund. I was quickly dismissed and told I'd have to wait several days because there wasn't a manager on site who could process it. The customer service has declined considerably, and the food has always been overpriced for the quality. If you're looking for great coffee in the area, I'd recommend Avondale Coffee Club instead. The coffee is consistently excellent, and the baristas are always friendly and welcoming.

I've been passing by Café Urbano for a while and finally decided to stop in. It's close to home and…read moreafter checking out their menu online, I was impressed by how reasonable the food prices were for the area. One thing to note for anyone planning to visit: the coffee prices are very high. For example, a small Americano is over $5.50 here, which is surprising considering it's typically just a couple shots of espresso and water. I usually pay around $3 to $3.50 elsewhere, so I skipped the coffee this time and drank some beforehand. Now onto the food, which was excellent. Everything we ordered was fresh, made to order, and tasted great. The cashier was also very helpful in answering our questions because like another review mentioned, the menu doesn't include many descriptions. My friend ordered the chilaquiles burrito. The description was unclear so he took a risk, but he ended up loving it. I ordered the tuna melt after confirming with the cashier that everything was freshly made and it was fantastic. The tuna had the perfect balance of veggies and mayo, the cheddar cheese was melted perfectly, and the bread was grilled just right before adding the tuna. It was exactly what I'd been craving. For two people, including a tip, the total came out to $34. This is amazing for the area where many places can easily run you $60 or more for food alone. Overall, I hope this place sticks around. If they continue making fresh food and keep their prices fair, I think they have a great chance of succeeding. We already made plans to come back. Definitely stop by and treat yourself to some fresh, hot food.

We got the Keiser and the pastrami wasn't dry whatsoever. Also just had a bagel with butter and jam and a cold brew. Expected the cold brew would come out quickly but it took a bit -- so maybe they were waiting on everything else? Either way, we enjoyed everything overall but prices were certainly steep. For 1 bagel sammie, 1 bagel, and 1 coffee, we paid over $30.
