I wish I had visited Cherubs sooner. Such a cute spot with Cherubs statues and full size couches and chairs for seating. I've only darkened their doorway twice, and each time I ordered 2 veggie and 1 steak taco. It only takes a few minutes, and they come out on a nice plate each with their own slice of lime. If you're like me and enjoy lime, it's best if each taco has their own. Two cups of salsa verse are served on the side. Very tasty and just spicy enough. The lady behind the counter is very sweet. I may trash her name since it's been a few weeks since I've been there, but I believe her name is Elvie. Please visit this sweet little cafe so that I can visit once again. read more

Such a quaint neighborhood place! Cute cafe with a bunch of assorted seating (couch, bench, and your typical table). The place is counter service. I had the "steak" tacos with cilantro and onions. The reason steak is in quotations is because the tacos were really ground beef tacos. The tacos were good, but just wished they would have advertised it as "ground beef" instead. read more

Wow! This place is absolutely amazing!! This is the type of restaurant you want to support. Hubby and I ordered Grubhub and found this place and couldn't have been more happy. This place hands down has the best chicken salad sandwich in Chicago. I've never had bread like this before - it was seriously perfection. My husband ordered 4 steak tacos and said they were some of the best he's had. And their smoothies?!? OMG! Best smoothies I've ever had at a restaurant. I ordered the berry smoothie. Their prices are some of the best in the city. Given the circumstances happening in the world right now, I can't encourage people enough to support this business. Wish I could give it 10 stars! read more

I found this place after work when spontaneously I decided to search for coffee shops near me on google. The first coffee shop on the list was already closed and then this place was second on list and saw that they close at 8pm. I scrolled across their photos and saw good looking drinks from milkshakes to smoothies! Their sandwiches and paninis also looked delicious. I then decided to invite my cousin along and we headed here and ordered pastrami paninis. My cousin orders the Frappe de cafe and I ordered the oatmeal milkshake; they were as delicious as they looked on photos. Absolutely delicious and great portion! Later on I invited my friends to try the delicious paninis and drinks as well; I absolutely recommend this place. Has relaxing music, delicious food and drinks, and super friendly service ! read more

I usually never write reviews but since I have more free time with the quarantine, I figured I'd try to leave a helpful review. I was looking for a place to order a fruit smoothie to help tame the hangover beast and I wasn't disappointed. I tried a little of everything - strawberry smoothie, chicken salad sandwich, tuna salad sandwich, steak taco and chicken taco. I took a bite of everything and here's the verdict: strawberry smoothie was perfect; chicken salad was flavorful, more so than the tuna salad; steak taco was more like ground beef (like a prior reviewer said) but I still liked it - lots of meat and cilantro and cheese; chicken taco was good and made me feel almost healthy because of the veggies. The tacos needed some salsa (which came with them) but otherwise, great. Best part of the meal was the price. Everything was extremely reasonably priced, which is why I didn't feel guilty ordering basically 4 entire meals. read more

Okay, so Cherubs is cozy, quaint and really... unique. But, it also smells like 'grandma's attic', which I muttered under my breath to my ice cream-aficionado companion. Actually-- and this sounds terrible-- I hoped that he would change his mind once he saw the rather limited array of ice cream flavors but we stayed. And the smell dissipated. Or rather, I acclimated. And I'm glad that happened, because visiting Cherubs is truly an experience. Upon closer inspection, you'll notice it actually LOOKS like grandma's attic, too. Strange furnishings. Old sofas. Random knickknacks strewn about. Is it a fountain, a tower? No matter, there's no rhyme or reason to this stroll down hodgepodgery lane. But it's interesting, I'll give it that. The owner (at least I think she was the owner) was very kind and accommodating, waiting patiently as we dawdled over the menu. They make shakes, smoothies, and sandwiches in addition to scooping ice cream. I went with one scoop of vanilla topped with strawberries and whipped cream. The ice cream hit the spot-- nice and smooth but take note: the whipped cream comes from a can. I think my friend hit a few ice chunk speed bumps in his hills of his butter pecan, but otherwise seemed content with his choice. Cherubs offers free wi-fi and I imagine it's a great place to get a ton of work done or laze with your favorite book. You've got to see it to believe it! read more

I feel all reviews should start out a 5 star then we add and subtract stars as we go. The decor in this place is a little strange, but not that out of the ordinary. What was out of the ordinary was the smoke detector that kept beeping the whole time we waited for our food. Which brings me to the next lost star which was the wait which had to be at least 20 minutes for a sandwich and a cup of soup. I can understand since there was only one lady working behind the counter, but come on how long can it take to make a ham and cheese sandwich and pour a cup-of-soup. The ham and cheese panini and Cherub soup was quite tasty, and for the money there are definitely not many places in the city where you get a better bang for the buck. I will probably try this place again, but not until the battery is replaced on that damn smoke-detector. They do serve ice cream and smoothies but I was not in the mood for anything cold when its 50 degrees outside and its only October. read more

I'm so disappointed I spent my money in this place! Place also looked dirty. Service was fast but I wish they spent a bit more time toasting my burrito so it was hot. I feel sick now.

Employees must wash hands. You should too, don't be gross!

My wife ordered their Chilaquiles verdes. My son ordered their Crepes with Pecans, bananas and cajeta. And I went with something completely different. I ordered their chorizo skillet. I rarely ever order skillets and this one didn't disappoint. It came with house potatoes, corn, chorizo, onions, melted cheddar two over easy eggs and chipotle mayo. This dish looks small at first but damn that skillet was deep. Definitely a lot of food and very filling. But most importantly it tasted delicious. Everyone loved their dishes and we can't wait to come back.

Great cafe located in the heart of Logan Square!…read more I was visiting a friend from out of town and I actually went to Same Day Cafe twice in one trip! The coffee is great. Smooth, bold flavor. The food is also delicious! I got an egg salad sandwich and everything was fresh! From the bread, to the egg filling, to the leafy vegetables, yum! The service was kind and always fast. Both days that I went, the cafe was relatively empty- which made for a relaxing experience.

Felt like I was in an old school diner, but was able to order everything on my phone. Very interesting and efficient concept. I got the scrambled egg and biscuit breakfast. Their homemade biscuit is served with housemade jam and I still think about it. It was a light but satisfying breakfast option. Tried their speciality earl grey lavender latte and again, it's all I think about. They have a beautiful, big patio during the summer with plenty of seating available.

I couldn't finish it this time and surprisingly the leftover a day later was still good too. Recommend this place for a good sandwich --original review---- Everyone is really sweet and friendly here. They clearly have regulars who are greeted like returning relatives and even a first timer like me was welcomed warmly. The sandwich was stacked with ingredients and flavor. Shocked how good their pastrami is! Liked that they grill the roast beef to give it extra flavor. A solid basic coffee too.

Locals know about this restaurant, just steps away from the CTA blue line stop near North Milwaukee Avenue and North Western Avenue. It's a family run cafe with great food, gteatservice and an amazing Chicago atmosphere! We had the Steak and Eggs (Ribeye Steak, Grilled Onions, Mushrooms, 3eggs with potatoes with a side of toaster). The ribeye portion was generous and cooked just the way I like it, medium well. Great flavor all around plenty of food, enough to share (but I didn't). And we split the Banana Berries French Toast (Bananas, Strawberries, Blueberries, Blueberry Sauce, Powder Sugar). Soooo sweet and delicious, I could've licked my plate, the sauce was that good. Our waitress, Monica couldn't have been nicer! Charming, Welcoming and Delicious! What more could you ask for? If you haven't been to Le Cafe Station Grill, you must go, and soon.

My daughter ordered a mini churro waffle, my wife ordered their chilaquiles and I ordered their biscuits and gravy. The churro waffle was actually pretty good and spot on tasted like a churro with ice cream and syrup on top. My wife's enchiladas were delicious as well. A very filling this. My biscuits and gravy came with two eggs on top with a side of breakfast potatoes. The potato's were ok, but the hash browns looked a lot better and should have asked for a substitute. Overall a very decent meal and I'm glad my daughter enjoyed her time. If she request coming here again, we'll definitely be back.

Cafe Urbano

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.
