On this particular weekday morning, they had a great looking selection of donuts I sadly resisted, along with some other pastries. My boyfriend had the oatmeal cookie latte and I got the ginger snap latte. While tasty, the coffee flavor itself wasn't super strong, but overall the drinks were yummy. The vibe in here is quaint and bright, with different seating options. Would be a good spot to work from! Due to its convenient location and parking lot, I will definitely visit again!

Fall feels + spooky sips = the perfect first visit! Today…read moreI stepped into Brewed in Chicago for the very first time, and it couldn't have been more magical. The entire café is horror-themed, which makes it the perfect spot to kick off the first day of fall and spooky season. The team was so kind and welcoming -- they really took care of me and helped me pick out the best drink for my vibe. I went with the Fire Starter latte with macadamia milk, and it was amazing. The smooth espresso paired with just a hint of chili took the flavor to another level -- cozy, bold, and just the right amount of heat. If you're looking for killer coffee, spooky vibes, and wonderful service this fall as Halloween creeps closer, you NEED to check this place out.

However, I find that the prices are similar to other places around the other neighborhoods especially as you venture closer to the lake. It's also one of the few places in the near area. I hear Avondale is "up and coming". I'm starting to believe as I'm new to the area coming from Southport Corridor. I did like the outdoor seating which was peaceful on a Sunday morning. I got a sense that this place definitely has a community vibe and the customers in there appeared to be regulars. I will definitely return to Moonwalker Cafe when I'm in the area... I'm about 2 miles down the road.

This is the perfect 'third space' for anyone looking to catch up with friends or looking for a new work/study area. I loved the iced mufawar because it's a perfect blend of spices like cardamon and it gives me a caffeine high. There's an assortment of sweets and a few savory items like croissants. A shared parking lot in front is a major plus, but it's also steps away from the Brown Line making it super convenient. Definitely a great place to get some work done.

There is street parking but no seating except for a small bench outside. It was hot outside so I wanted a cold drink, so I went with their Chocolate and Pistachio Iced Coffee. Unfortunately, this wasn't it for me. I couldn't even taste the chocolate and pistachio...it was like garnish on the cup more than anything. I tasted the espresso shots briefly but it was all milk afterwards. Since I got there in the afternoon, I decided on their Breakfast Sandwich for a late lunch. This one hit the spot for me! Bacon, soft scrambled eggs, caramelized onions and sriracha...delicious! For my pastry, I chose the Guava Cheese Bread. It's like a bigger and denser version of pao de queijo. Really liked how the tartness of the guava jam complimented the savoriness of the bread. A little bummed the drink wasn't a home run for me because that's mostly the reason I came but I'll give it another chance! Also, it's a dog friendly place so that's always a plus for me!

Coffee is impressive and lemonade fresh as it gets. Cute cute cute fun place to visit. Their beignet was too doughy and dense today- maybe didn't have time to let yeast rise properly. We are willing to try again. Remember to order properly if you order 2 for 6$ set you can add a third for 2$ but if you order 4 more they they charge for 3$ each. We wanted 6 today so next time will remember to order 2x3 for 6$ instead of set of 2 then 4 more on side. But the owner was super kind so we didn't mind one way or another. She let us try their sauces and they were both amazing. I think addition of chocolate sauce like Grand Lux used to have in their triple sauce set, may be a crow pleaser.

While a trifle difficult to find, due to minimal signage outside. This store front cafe is extraordinarily neat and clean. This is clearly a family business.
