This place is incredible, some of he best matcha, and the cold brew is bomb. Plus it's a local run spot, what's not to love! read more

Eggs & cheese bagel's only flavor came from the everything seasoning on it. Everyone raved about the drinks but I thought they were average at best. Masala chai tasted way better than the chocolate one but wasn't enough incentive for me to return. read more

Definitely recommend this gem. Simple menu but done right. They have bacon, egg, and cheese or sausage, egg and cheese sandwiches on a bagel or croissant. This establishment is run by two brothers and they are generous with the egg to meat ratio. The bagels and croissant they build the sandwiches on are also good. Service is friendly and there's outdoor and indoor seating. Really loved the hot chocolate with the dash of cinnamon they added. read more

We are visiting from out of town for a wedding, and was looking for a quick breakfast before we get on with the day. First off - there is a clothing shop right next to it. Same name? Owned by the same people. The door is around the corner of the building. Inside is limited space with some seating. Store appears well kept. We ordered and everything came out in a timely fashion and everyone loved what they got. Their croissant was really good! Would recommend to anyone in this area. read more

Stopped by Cafe Consume to try their breakfast sandwiches on two occasions to try both their croissant bacon and everything bagel sausage sandwich. The eggs here are loaded and folded over thick. Big portions that won't disappoint. You can customize your choice of meat on whichever bread. Happy to report that both choices were delicious. I personally favored the croissant for bread and sausage for meat. The staff here is extremely friendly and made my visit very welcoming and memorable. One particular staff even remembered me on my second visit, and joked that it was a wise choice of me to come earlier as their croissants were sold out by 11am at my first visit. There is free street parking a couple streets down the block in all directions, and an outdoor patio with plenty of seating. Will definitely return for good food and stellar service. read more

This is actually just for the bagel alone. The Salted bagel might be the best bagel I've had in the city. The sausage and cheese ( I'd pick american cheese next time) is good but what stood out to me was a warm slightly salty bagel perfectly hold its own against the sausage and cheese. I hope they make a Cheddar jalapeno one day and I'd be over the moon. We tried the croissant and it was decent but a little flimsy since it was generously stuffed with bacon. I want to try the coffee but didn't get to this time around read more

Love this coffee place. I usually get their cafe de miel latte (pictured). The brothers who own this seem to be really passionate about what they do. Their cafe de miel and vanilla bourbon syrups are made in the house! I do need to try their vanilla bourbon latte, as well as their other food to feel confident in my rating. While I've been mostly getting it to go because of their small limited seating inside, they do have a pretty spacious outdoor patio for people to enjoy. The cafe de miel latte, their service and the outdoor patio have been enough to give them four stars! read more

I have gone to Cafe Consume 10 times now. I know this because they give you a punch card - for every 10 drinks you get, you get a free drink! A few things I love about this place - the staff are super friendly. Its always the same guy who takes my order and he is very nice and cheery. Its a small business which I appreciate. They use dark matter coffee for their espresso which frankly has a little more of a unique profile and is more flavorful than your run-of-the-mill darkly roasted espresso blends. And finally, they're very good - and thats the main reason I come here - a great cortado made from a tasty bean. Since opening, they expanded their food menu a little and now they have breakfast sandwiches too! I've gotten their bacon egg and cheese croissant 2 or 3 times now. The bacon is really good - I don't know where they get it, but it seems like it's from a butcher or something given the shape and texture. Bonus is they usually have some good music playing - usually a jazz/funk feel. read more

A truly adorable little coffee shop. I stopped in here when I was out for a walk and wanting a chai latte. The service was friendly and fast at this tiny little cafe. I did get myself a chai latte with oat milk which was excellent. I also learned that they source all of their pastries from a local baker. I got an apple danish and it was fresh and delicious. They have a small indoor seating area and a large outdoor patio. read more

Excellent bagel sausage, egg, and cheese. In a city of expensive breakfast sandwiches, this one was SO satisfying. Worth every cent. The croissant was delightful and the service was even more so. The small, intimate cafe space was unassuming but chill with great music playing. Worth the trek and highly recommend for any serious Chicago foodie in a constant search for the best croissant in the city. read more

As others have mentioned the brothers are very friendly and helpful. I loved my cappuccino, perfectly made. Croissants are pop perfect. Buttery and flaky. Side note try not to eat them in your car. Layers of buttery flaky croissant fall down upon you! Didn't stop me. Salt bagel toasted with cream cheese the best Please check out Cafe consume you won't be disappointed read more

Basically the best bacon egg and cheese I've had. Chai was fire. Music was fire. Get here ASAP

First time there. It was great to be greeted/recognized. When he asked the name for the order, he remembered it and used it a few times. He smiled several times and treated me kindly. All of this is very important to me. To me, it's equally important as the food. Anyone can make good food. Very few people treat customers kindly these days. The croissant was delicious, as was the drinking chocolate. I don't have much money these days. But when I do have money, I will try and support them as much as possible! read more

first time coming here. the cashier made me feel very welcomed and let me take my time to view the menu. since i didn't know anything of this place, the cashier made sure to walk me through the menu and offered his choices. i was looking for something strong but still a little sweet, and he recommended me the cold brew with vanilla bourbon bean and a splash of milk. THE BEST COFFEE IVE HAD TO DATE. i'm picky with my iced coffees so this one is def a winner. ima have to come back n try more! read more
