This place always lifts my spirit. It's cozy and down to earth and has wonderful service from the sweetest staff. The food is also great, exactly what you want from a steak taco. Lime on the side and salsa verde. Highly recommend! read more

This place is very much an ol'reliable food is good for the price. The owner of Cherubs is very nice and friendly. Has a ton of sitting area but there is usually never anyone inside sadly. Interior is kinda outdated but definitely adds character to the establishment read more

This place is definitely a hidden gem on Fullerton - cute little spot to come and have some lunch when COVID is a thing of the past. The food was very fresh and tasted great! The cherub salad was simple but also the dressing made it amazing. Everything is very reasonably priced as well , making this place even more worth it. The women behind the counter was also a sweetheart. Now is definitely time to support local businesses ! read more

What a nice little place! Positive vibes and really good sandwiches very reasonably priced. Limited on drink selections however. Hope to be back! read more

Phenomenal!! I came here to get lunch to go on a whim, and I was so pleasantly surprised. The turkey panini was DELICIOUS and you get so much for your money! I was obsessed and I want to try the smoothie next time. The woman working was so sweet and friendly too! read more

Super friendly and really a hidden gem. I feel like not a lot of people know about this place & I kind of like it that way where it's Lowkey & relax. My go to place for shakes. This is the best place to go for post workout meal lunch. Best value for amazing food. read more

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

Love coming here. Elbia is personable and knows how to make her customers happy. I love the food and try to come here once a week. Chicken salad sandwich is my favorite but also love pastrami and the shakes. Everything is so fresh and made to order. You can also find cherubs' food stall at the Logan square farmers market during the warmer months 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

We found this spot on a whim and they had all kinds of food and milkshakes. I think one of the coolest things about this spot is that there was sectional couches that surrounded the entire restaurant. I got three veggie tacos and a Milkshake that was coconut and chocolate and it was so good. My partner got a milkshake that was the monkey shake and it was delicious. I would definitely recommend this as a chill spot to eat really good tacos and enjoy a nice milkshake. read more

Cherubs - Strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry smoothie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

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

Came in today on March 3rd 2022 it's currently 5:31pm I got the pastrami sandwich and the girlfriend got a turkey sandwich. Both super super good!!! If your in the area please stop by and give the food a try! I also got 2 steak tacos and they are so damn good and cheap too!!!! Definitely will come back! The woman that works here is so nice. She definitely needs more business!!!!!!!!! read more

I ordered the Chicken Burrito with three tiny pieces of chicken, it was 95 % beans, three other ingredients, and 1% chicken, not to mention the tortilla wasn't even warmed; it was the worst by rrito I have ever had; I did get a full refund tho. 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

Nice place. Smoothies and food are good. The owner is a lovely lady. Definitely check it out if you want to stop for a quick bite - oh yeah, fast service, too! read more

This is my favorite place to eat in Chicago. All a restaurant needs to be is a place to sit, have a tasty meal, and enjoy sunlight. It's perfect to hangout at in the afternoon, and the owner has awesome music taste. I know when I come here I can relax, and remember there's more to life than cubicles. read more

Cherubs - a living room with a couch, coffee table, and television - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

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

Oh hell ya. Stopped in for the first time today on a whim and it's so cute inside. Got a medium turkey sandwich w everything and it's tasty plus filling. Definitely not just your average sandwich. Comes on buttery toasted sub bread. Got the small vampire smoothie too and it's delicious and a great portion. The woman working was by herself and super friendly and quick. Will be back! read more

Such great food at an affordable price. Their tacos are a staple at the LoganSquare Farmers market, but their shakes you get at the restaurant are delicious and healthy. Very comfortable lounging area with couches. We love the owner. read more

I love this place! The owner is so sweet and makes such bomb food! The only thing she's missing is a liquor license lol a marg here or beer would be fantastic! The tacos and burritos you can't go wrong with but I also love their panini! Such a great small business to support! read more

Best steak tacos in Chicago, and I eat a LOT of tacos. It's impossible to walk past and not stop in. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Cherubs and the owner. She is the most welcoming woman and always remembers me when I come in. If you live in Bucktown/Logan Square and have not tried Cherubs, you are truly missing out. 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

Cherubs - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Omg you guys!! I was starving for lunch. Found this place & decided to give it a try. The woman was working by herself so it took about 8 minutes. The sandwich cane with chips for $6.50. Hell of a price. Then I bit into my roast beef & Swiss panini on white bread. Mayo only. It was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had in my whole life. Incredible!! The flavor was just lovely. Go grab one today! read more

This place is outstanding! I'm so disappointed that we are moving in a month and just discovered it after 5 years in the neighborhood. It's one of those places that's worth coming back for though. Great staff, great food and the shakes (peanut butter!) and smoothies are insane. I'll be back often. read more

Well I had my son 1st birthday there for about 50 people food as good horchata was amazing and the extra were very unexpected and great The only reason it not 5 star lack of parking it was a weekend so nothing to do with cherubs read more

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!! Did I say amazing?... The prices are fantastic and the food is even better. Wish I could have gotten better pics but my husband did not want to wait one more second before diving in! Their chicken tacos are so good and the bell peppers are a fun touch. Also had the nachos (not pictured cause we literally inhaled them). You cannot go wrong. Order for lunch or dinner, better yet order for lunch AND dinner. You won't be sorry! 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 loveeeeeee this place! I come here all the time for lunch. I always order the same thing which is a medium cherub salad and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat bread. It is under ten dollars and so delicious! I love their chicken salad so much! I haven't tried any of the tacos or shakes but they look yummy. The inside of this place feels and looks like you're in your grandma's basement, which is fine by me! read more

Best milkshake I've ever had! I had the banana chocolate one. Owner is so sweet and lovely. Very clean

This little shop serves the best sandwiches and smoothies!! The best part about it is the price. Very well priced and the quality is amazing :)!! Try the Peanut Butter smoothie yummmm!!! read more
