Charming little cafe serving delicious coffee creations as well as home made breads, pastries and authentic Mediterranean delicacies such as baklava, feta fries. We had pistachio lates, a to-die-for Apple danish and yummy breakfast sandwich made with yummy homemade bread, eggs, salami, cucumbers and a sauce that was a perfect compliment. The sandwich was huge but I literally couldn't stop eating it. Hellen's was a fabulous hostess and answered all Our questions about some of the tempting menu items. There's an outdoor deck so we are planning a trip back so we can have breakfast lunch or dinner outdoors. read more

Visited on a Saturday morning and the place was packed! Not sure if this place is usually like this or if TikTok blew it up, but regardless it was nice to see so many people supporting local business. We had ordered the Bek's bfast sandwich, the spinach and feta pastry, an iced pistachio latte and an OJ. Since it was quite busy, it did take a while to get our drinks and food. No biggie but I do hope that as the cafe gets more popular, they try to hire more people to help if possible. Unfortunately, the drinks we ordered were disappointing. The OJ was watered down and I couldn't taste any pistachio in the latte. However, the sandwich was really good! We did wait almost 30 mins though which kinda sucked but at least it was tasty. Also, let me be clear and this isn't your average sandwich. It's almost like a thin pita bread stuffed with salami, mozzarella, onions, cucumber and sauce. That bite you get from the onion was so good. I'd order it again. The spinach and feta puff pastry was also delicious. The feta was so creamy and the crust was perfectly buttery and flaky. If you're in a rush definitely try a baked good! Although I was a little let down by the drinks, I do believe cafe Libra is worth the visit. I think my visit was an off day and I caught them during a rush so I'd love to come back to try another drink, food menu item, or even some gelato. read more

Long over due review, we had such a great time at Cafe Libra. My friend and I came by when our plans fell through, we both happen to be Libras. We were warmly welcomed by Bella, she's awesome I'll come back just for her. Drinks were delicious and the space is so tranquil. We opted for outdoor seating and it was such a beautiful day. We had the strawberry matcha and Banana latte with an extra shot of espresso. read more

Cafe Libra is a charming spot with kind and attentive staff and warm decor. My husband and I stopped by for lunch and ordered the mantije and fries. The fries were fantastic--homemade and well-seasoned--but the mantije lacked flavor. That said, it was our first time trying this Eastern European dish, so it's possible it's meant to be on the milder side. While we truly wish the best for this local business, we don't think it's quite the right fit for us in terms of the depths of flavor we prefer. read more

Decided to give it a go & visit a local coffee shop in the neighborhood. I wanted to support a local business. The iced pistachio drink was delicious but pricey. Cafe Libra is decorated nicely. The staff is warm and friendly. read more

Personal opinion here: While I do think the ambiance is nice and the service is pretty good, I think the food is alright at best. For its location, the price you pay is exactly what you expect but I think it's a place that has been extremely hyped up by the likes of IG and TT. Personally, very middle of the road. You either like it or you're meh about it. read more

Stopped in to grab some bakery food for later. Staff was friendly and service was fast. We ordered chocolate chip cookies, walnut cookies and chocolate croissant. We loved the chocolate chip cookies. The walnut cookies were great and first time having them. The croissant was good but not our favorite thing we tried. We will be back read more

A PERFECT BALANCE IN LIBRA I just have to recommend Cafe Libra --a vibrant and delicious spot with true European vibes and flavors. How many democratically priced places do you know that bake their own bread fresh daily? And grind their own meats? And yes--it's 100% halal! Handcrafted drinks, amazing ice cream, and all the refreshments you need this summer. And did I mention the outdoor patio? It's cozy and shaded by tree branches and colorful umbrellas--like something out of a storybook. The customer service is top-notch, which is something you can't take for granted these days. They even created a special little grassy area for our four-legged friends, complete with a water bowl and crunchy treats. Happiness for all! Libra Cafe truly strikes the perfect balance--just like its name suggests. So, when you find yourself hungry and thirsty in the Andersonville neighborhood, absolutely go there! read more

Cafe Libra is a new spot that's opened in Ravenswood at the corner of Wolcott & Foster. They don't see food yet, I don't think, but they have a nice variety of drinks (coffee and non-alcoholic beverages), gelato, and some cakes and whatnot. I've heard great things about the gelato so I'm hoping to pop in to give it a try before leaving the neighborhood! Their outdoor patio is quite large and actually provides more seating than indoor, which I like a lot. I've got high hopes for this new restaurant and hope it has better luck than some of the other places that have been here in the past. read more

Walked in a week ago, unfriendly staff no one welcomed me. The vibes were off and food wasn't great. Not sure what the hype is but definitely not worth the trip. Instagram blows it up for ratings and invites too bad my experience wasn't pleasant. Overpriced for small portions. No thanks. ‍ read more

Drinks were good however ice cream was served in extremely small portions( around a 1/4 of the cup) even though I paid 4 dollars and 41 cents. I could have gotten almost a pint of ice cream at the store for this. The ice cream was mediocre... there were two workers, one of them was vey nice, but the other accused of not paying for some of our ice cream even though everybody paid separately before he came and charged me. It ruined the ambiance for me and my friends. read more

Unreal experience, the staff took forever to take my order, didn't bring all the items I asked for and never even gave me utensils, napkins, or offered water! And when the staff in charge was told about the issues, she rolled her eyes and me as if it was my fault. The music was blasting way too loud too. Go around the corner to a better place with much better service minus the 'my way or the highway' attitude. Never again! read more

Such a cute coffee shop with the nicest staff and delicious coffee. Get the honey vanilla latte!

Went there for a late night ice cream run with a friend and the staff was friendly and let us try a bunch of flavors. We ate on their adorable patio which has a bunch of comfy chairs, I can see it as a great WFH space. They're open til 10pm which I love, great addition to the neighborhood. Highly recommend checking it out! read more

First time I went in I had invited a friend to come in with me to try out the new neighborhood spot. She got an iced mocha and I got an iced vanilla latte. However, they put your iced drinks in cocktail shakers to mix the flavor in and the barista couldn't find the cap for the shaker so she used her HAND to cover it! We were both so grossed out by it we just tossed our drinks and made out way somewhere else. Really sad because I was excited to have a coffee place nearby that was open past 3 pm read more
