I got a hot earl grey with honey from here to stay a little warm while adventuring through the streets of chitown. This cup of hot tea came in handy while battling the cold. Thanks Cafe Cremerie, hope to try a tasty treat next time.

Tiramisu hot chocolate
Sagarika G.

Cafe Creamerie is such a cute little spot in the city -- cozy vibes, bright interior, and a menu loaded with desserts and fun drink options. It's the kind of place that instantly gives you that "treat yourself" feeling. I tried their viral Tiramisu Latte, and honestly, it was just okay for me. The presentation was great, but the drink leaned way too sweet. They mentioned it's made with dark chocolate, but the flavor tasted much closer to milk chocolate, which kind of threw it off. Not bad, just not the depth or bitterness I expected from something labeled "tiramisu." Still, the café itself is adorable, the menu has plenty of variety, and it's a nice spot to chill, chat, or grab a dessert!

Best cafe shop in down town area. We came in , we were greeted by and asked a few questions about the menu. Their afogota was amazing as well as their coconut gelato ice cream. Definitely would come back. My 4 yr old also got a baby cake and devoured it in seconds.

We came here for some small bites, we got a game and cheese croissant and chocolate croissants with a chocolate. I love both croissants, very fresh and delicious. The space is limited, and it might be hard to find a seat during rush hour.

Came here for dessert after dinner. We got a single scoop of espresso ice cream and a slice of cheesecake. The ice cream was extremely creamy and rich in flavor. However the cheesecake was a bit of a disappointment. It was pretty lacking in flavor and had an unusual floral taste to it. They have very limited seating and we were lucky to grab the last available table. Overall a pretty solid dessert place.

Social media sent me. Sometimes, influencers can be amazing guides; other times, they're full of... baloney. In my opinion, the only thing Café Crèmerie has going for it is its Instagrammable interior. Since the only thing I post on IG is pictures of my cat, I couldn't care less about how many likes it would get me. Oh, and that really pretty courtyard? It's not theirs, so you're unable to enjoy your coffee and desserts out there. In terms of atmosphere, the interior where one can enjoy their goods is on the smaller side, and during a busier time, it can be hard to find a table. I will give them points for the space being inviting and clean. However, on the flip side, something that detracts from this vibe is the incessant "tling-ding-ding-ding" every time the door opens. Furthermore, for a place this nice, the only forks they have are cheap ones that look like they're sold at a dime store. Finally, if they truly want to be authentic to their European theme, they'd have a water station, rather than requiring guests to ask and then being given something that isn't even cold. Moving on... Now let's talk coffee. On my two visits here, I ordered a Cortado. On the first occasion, they'd made a latte instead. On the second, it was of the appropriate size for a cortado, but still not great, as the coffee notes were too muted for my taste. Next, the cakes. I don't recall the specific details about my first visit, but I can tell you about the Dulce de Leche cheesecake. This one was also not a winner. The consistency was too firm, nor was it rich and velvety as a great cheesecake should be. As for the babycake -- this one was better, with a harder outside shell and a soft, flavorful interior. However, despite being not much larger than a die (as in, singular of dice), it cost $2.50. With all of this, let's discuss the value proposition. The cost of the Cortado, cheesecake, and babycake came out to $18.65. This was after tax, a non-cash fee of 4%, and a service fee to boot (also 4%). That's almost $20 for a small cup of coffee, a cheesecake that might as well have come from a gas station, and a babycake that with some paint could work at a craps table. But hey, you get to make your friends jealous on your social media of choice... until they come here and realize they've been misled.

Gelato
Tippy P.

We had time to burn before our reservation and decided to check out this cafe. This one was busy, store was full of customers waiting to try the pastries and Gelato. Cafe was decorated cute, small dining area in the back.

Super cute spot with really great coffee and tasty cakes and pastries! A good location around lots of fun shops and restaurants

Menu
Rahima J.

This is a really cute place with multiple drink options and baked goods to choose from. They also have gelato and specialty dessert items. Most of the seating is in the back of the cafe and seems a bit small but it's a nice grab and go spot. The hot chocolate wasn't anything great worth the price tag but it's nice that they're able to add flavors to it if you prefer something else.

Kia L.

Nice little coffee shop! They offer a lot of options: coffee, tea, sweet & savory pastries and adult beverages! I ordered a matcha latte. It was about $7 for an 8oz cup which was SO disappointing and comical. The match wasn't blended well which is why I have to rate this place as mediocre. It's tiny and doesn't have enough seating as well. Service was meh.

Very light and delectable cake!  Ricotta & Pistachio
Denise G.

Walking around the town and saw this place and figured what the heck! Very delicious and very flavorful piece of cake that's a perfect portion

Sheyenne H.

Both vintage and trendy shop, delicious gelato options and a nuce seating area. Wish they use sustainable materials such as cups for dine in. A nice option for sweets after visiting the other restaurants in the block.

Tiramisu Latte - too sweet
Sabrina J.

Truly a beautiful coffee shop. The founder was inspired by her trips to Europe to bring similar vibes to Chicago. It wasn't too crowded on a Wednesday afternoon. I got the tiramisu Latte, which was too sweet. I think they just use some Torani syrup. Also, it was kind of pricey for the size ($6.50 for a pretty small cup), and they add a 4% service fee and 4% credit card charge on charge of Chicago's 11% in sales tax, which I don't love.

Lula Cafe - Classic Lula Breakfast Burrito

Logan Square

Most of our meals were of the run-and-gun type, so we figured we should make time for at least one…read moreclassic brunch. We'd heard good things about Lula Cafe, so we decided to pop over on a Saturday morning. It was just after 9:00 but the place was already hopping. After a short wait, we were shown to bar-type seating near the back of the restaurant. It was perfect. I can never say no to a breakfast burrito, so we decided to share their Classic Lula Breakfast Burrito ("avocado, tomato, potato, cheddar, green chile soffritto, and soft scrambled eggs") and holy moly was it ever good. Every ingredient was above average and placed with care, and I was impressed by the perfectly-cooked eggs. (There was nothing bouncy about these eggs, that's for sure.) Because we're pigs, we decided to also share the Lox Toast ("house cured organic salmon, gribiche, lula seeded rye") and it too was very, very good. Finally, we each got the Fruit Cup and somehow it was also amazing. The fruits were cut really well and there wasn't a bad bite to be had. Yeah, I can see why Lula Cafe is doing so well. It's a really cool place.

This is my third time eating at Lula Cafe. The first time was for brunch a few years ago and the…read moresecond time was just for drinks and dessert when we were in the area. This most recent time we came for brunch. Every experience has been pretty average to me, and this most recent time the service was lacking a little. Their pastries and desserts are always really unique and tasty though! We came on a Sunday around 11:45am and were told it would be a two hour wait, but the bar is first come first serve so we ended up sitting at the bar. Our food was taking a long time, while it seemed like everyone else at the bar was getting their food about 10 minutes after ordering since breakfast food is typically quick. After about 35 minutes of waiting, the server eventually noticed we never got our food and went to the kitchen. About 5 minutes later, our food came out. She told us it was because the kitchen lost our ticket and I appreciate the communication, but overall, the servers at the bar seemed pretty distracted the entire time, so part of me thinks our order never even got entered. I also felt like our seats at the end of the bar were easily forgotten about/ignored, and the servers tended to stay more towards the other end. I'm grateful we were offered a free dessert or pastry to make up for the wait. We chose the carrot cake to-go and it was delicious! I ordered the seasonal latte, the french toast off the April 2026 menu, and side of breakfast potatoes. The french toast featured superkhana chai dulce de leche, orange curd, whipped cream cheese, and parle-g crumble. If you like orange and citrusy flavors, you would probably love this french toast. The person I was with got the "royale" breakfast sandwich and loved it. The breakfast potatoes were smaller portion than I expected, but they were good.

West Loop, Near West Side

Monteverde was our first stop on my birthday trip to Chicago. We visit the city pretty regularly,…read moreand my favorite thing is trying the seemingly endless amazing restaurants it has to offer. Last time we were here, we wanted to try Monteverde, but reservations are extremely difficult to come by. This time I was on it right when they were released, which allowed me to secure a Saturday lunch for four. It's kind of a shame that this is required, but I understand with how popular it is. Coming into the restaurant, it is immediately bustling. The ambience is cozy in a modern and refined sort of way, with lots of natural wood and warm touches throughout. Very beautiful. Service was amicable, though any sort of individualized treatment is impossible with just how busy it is. More than passable for sure, but nothing outstanding. The food, however, was impeccable. For appetizers, our table shared the Burrata e Ham and the 'Nduja Arancini. The arancini were delicious and some of the best I have had from any restaurant, but the star of this course was the burrata. Their take on it was so unique and absolutely to die for. I would get this every single time I come back. For entrees, we shared the Cacio Whey Pepe, Tortelli Verdi, and one other pasta dish that I am not remembering at the moment, but it was excellent. All were very good. For dessert, we split the tiramisu as a table, and it may have been the best version of the dessert that I have ever had. All in all, Monteverde being as hyped up as it was for us held its own. It definitely met those high expectations, and I would love to come here again if I am ever lucky enough to snag another reservation.

A big "Yes!" to all the pasta, a big "Okaaaaay," to most everything else…read more The pasta is really all that and although I didn't try the rabbit ravioli due to the filling being goat cheese, the sauce was outstanding. The pesto mini shells were not quite as brilliant-the sauce seemed a little bit tight-but the pasta itself was excellent. The stuffed cabbage with porcini ragu was also a standout although the fried polenta diamonds, an inspired counterpoint to the dish, were overly greasy. I can't honestly say I'd recommend anything else we ordered. The meatball had a disconcertingly soft texture and the flavor of both the meat and sauce just weren't that good. We also ordered the small chicken parm to share. While the presentation was beautiful it was absolutely nothing special taste-wise. It was properly cooked but largely forgettable. It's worth noting that the kitchen has a slightly heavy hand with salt but YMMV. Service was excellent but the atmosphere leaves a bit to be desired. You're almost sitting in your neighbors' laps and we could clearly follow the conversations on both sides of us. We also had to ask for a table change as we were seated so close to the pass that I would have had a constant stream of plates over my head and right behind my back. The restaurant is easily accessible by public transit and there is some street parking available.

Literally the cutest café. This was my favorite breakfast spot while visiting Chicago…read more The second I walked in, I was obsessed. The green and white color palette immediately reminded me of Ralph's Coffee. It felt classic and polished but still charming. Everyone working there had a smile on their face, and the warmth felt so genuine and comforting, especially first thing in the morning. They had such a huge selection of pastries and cakes that it was honestly hard to choose. I ended up getting the cake shaped like a cherry because it looked so interesting. It was a black cherry cake and I paired it with a cappuccino. It was the perfect combination. The cake was beautiful and tasted just as good as it looked. We also ordered the breakfast burrito, which came with a small side salad. It was fine, but not the standout for me. If I came back, which I would, I would probably stick to the pastries and coffee and try more of their baked goods instead. Service was amazing. The ambience was adorable. I loved how all the silverware, plating, and dinnerware matched that perfect green tone. Every detail felt intentional. It was just perfect.

We had a toddler date with a friend and her son here at the cafe at the Peninsula. They had some…read morelimited-time St. Patrick's Day specials that caught my friend's eye, including the Pot of Gold, a special dessert only available for the weekend. The food was really excellent, as was the service. But it was ridiculously priced. The reuben sandwich was $28. It was a great sandwich, very lean, but you could get a sandwich as good for half the cost elsewhere. They only have a couple of kid's items, but my friend requested buttered noodles for her kid rather than the cheesy noodles. I got the hibiscus drink and lavender lemonade, both non-alcoholic, and they were very good. My little one especially liked the hibiscus. And we ordered the appetizer of whipped ricotta and honey; my daughter liked this more than anything else we ordered. We didn't have dessert at the restaurant, but ordered to go. The pot of gold was really good. There were little "gold nuggets" on it and that was my daughter's favorite part; good thing since I didn't realize it had a layer with Bailey's in it. It was very rich, and the cauldron was really thick chocolate (and actually was a struggle to get into, a bit!). The restaurant is small but it didn't feel crowded. We never felt rushed or unwelcome, and we were there for a couple hours (longer than I realized; it took an unusually long time to make two reuben sandwiches). Their pastries are really nice but somewhat expensive, like the rest of the menu. It was a nice, sophisticated experience.

It's pretty small inside, there are only a few tables. A server comes to your table to place your order, which I feel like never happens at ice cream shops anymore! The menu is huge!

My son ordered 2 scoops of cookies n cream ice cream (with sprinkles of course) and I got moose tracks! The ice cream is the real deal.

It's a small restaurant but we managed to snag a cozy table near the back. We'd already spent most of the day eating, so we decided to share the Atomic Fudge Sundae. It's a fairly enormous concoction. I found it interesting that the hot fudge was served on the side, but it's actually pretty smart because you get control how much (or how little) sauce you get. The ice cream is the highlight. It's creamy and rich, and it's got a really nice flavor, too. The hot fudge was less impressive, but that might be because I had already eaten a Ghirardelli sundae earlier in the day and their hot fudge just can't be beat. The service was super friendly and the atmosphere was kitschy and fun. It's a cool place.
