    A slice of cake, dusted with powdered sugar, is presented on a white round plate. The cake appears moist and dense, with a golden-brown crust. A metal fork rests on the plate, and part of another plate is visible in the background. The setting suggests a dining environment, possibly a café or restaurant.

    The coffee is so good.My go to is the chai latte . So yummy. The service is quick and friendly. Love the ambiance. So chill and quiet. Always a great place to get some work done , read or play chess.

    Pumpkin pie latte was good! And the raspberry danish was even better. Been thinking about it for days

    Sipping Turtle Cafe was truly just a mediocre experience. I visited the coffee shop around 10 am on…read morea Thursday with a friend and there were only 3 other customers inside. The shop is sparsely decorated but seems to be a real staple in the community, which felt special to visit as an outsider. My friend and I both ordered egg and goat cheese bagel sandwiches. I ordered an iced lavender matcha and my friend ordered a cappuccino. The sandwiches were made with boiled eggs, which felt extremely odd. The egg type was not clarified on the menu, but I feel like for a breakfast sandwich to include a boiled egg instead of a traditional fried or scrambled egg, that should be disclosed to customers with some sort of expectations. My friend said the cappuccino was "just like every other cappuccino I've ever had." The lavender matcha really just tasted like a regular matcha. It was good but not much lavender flavor! Our food also took a bit to come out, despite the coffee shop being empty (only one other person already dining when we came in) and what we ordered. It looked like there were only two workers. I personally wouldn't visit Sipping Turtle Cafe again, unfortunately. There are a lot of other great options around that satisfy me more.

    A great spot with a great vibe! We didn't try any of the food, so I can't speak to that, but it was…read moresolid drip coffee and cold brew and friendly service. It seems like a great neighborhood spot - very welcoming!

The establishment has a chill atmosphere and the owner was so incredibly friendly. Even though we were out of town, we were immediately invited to a small event they were having the next day and asked about our days in a manner that reflected genuine interest. I wish this could be my local coffee shop, you're so lucky if this is! Their unique offering was a wonderful selection of coffee and a delicious array of Colombian pastries. We ordered an empanada, a churro donut, almojabana, and the pan de bono. I'm vegetarian so I was very happy to see such a wide number of options for me! The churro donut was delicious and cinnamony - if you like sweet breakfasts, definitely get this! I really enjoyed the almojabana and the pan de bono. I liked the pan de bono so much, I even took a picture of the crumb to share with my mother, who is Colombian! Truly, I could have eaten 5 of the pan de bono because they tasted just like the homemade one's my abuela would make when she visited.

    Such a gem- seriously! Cute, charming and well crafted Columbian coffee. They roast in-house. It's…read moreauthentic. Such a positive vibe here. Owners are so nice. The staff is so chill and kind. Seriously though, it's a good coffee spot without pretentiousness and ego. You know what I'm talking about?? You do . You know exactly what I'm talking about. They have events and pop-ups on the regular and DJs on Sundays, like all the time. Give them a follow and get here. One of the best local roasters in Chicago. Period. Boom 10/10 recommend.

    Do yourself a favor, and let yourself splurge a little at Au Levain. First off, their fresh,…read morehomemade sourdough english muffins are out of this world I love to buy a pack of 6 ($12) to bring home and make avocado toast with a soft scrambled egg on top. (They freeze great too if you want to savor them). I haven't tried their breakfast sandwich, because I'm not a big pork sausage person-- would love if they had more variations of a breakfast sandwich! You can also order a toasted english muffin that comes with fresh butter and a homemade jam.. it's so simple but addicting. I have had their Lox English Muffin a couple of times, and if you love Lox, it's GREAT. Really good balance of cream cheese/veggie/lox ratio.. though Lox is always so overpowering so it's most of what you're going to taste. If you are a quiche person, PLEASE try theirs. The creativity in their rotating flavors, and their perfect crust, are a must-try. It's soooo well done. Every pastry I've tried has been spectacular, from their almond blackberry croissant to the pistachio escargot, to their donuts.. I don't think you can go wrong. Their cinnamon roll is next on my list.. but I need to try it when I'm with 2-3 other people because it is GINORMOUS. I don't trust that I wouldn't eat the whole thing by myself. Their coffee is good, but there's nothing special to me about it! I come here for their fresh pastries and eats. They have free wifi and it's fairly quiet, so a good place to knock out some work or have a good conversation with a friend. It's neat, clean, and bright with a good amount of seating. This place is right next to my therapy office, so I frequent it a couple of times a month, and I have always felt welcomed and cared for by their employees. If you are eating there, they will go the extra mile to bring your food to your table and make sure you have everything you need. Highly recommend!!

We stopped by on a Saturday morning around 8:30 am. There were a few patrons dining in and enjoying their breakfast. The display case was well stocked. We ordered the following: 1) Sourdough English muffin, pack of six* 2) Pistachio lemon doughnut 3) Strawberry glazed doughnut 4) Chocolate glazed doughnut 5) Almond blackberry croissant* 6) Pain au chocolat* 7) Lemon blueberry Danish* 8) Pistachio chocolate escargot* The ones marked with an asterisk are my favorites. The pain au chocolat was love at first sight/touch. I could immediately tell it was incredibly flakey, buttery, and light just by lifting it off the plate. Every bite was divine. If I was not concerned with my waistline, I probably would have had more than one. I used the English muffins to make lunch sandwiches at home. I toasted them and they held up really well after I layered them guacamole, pan-seared German bologna, cheesy-potato omelette, and Sriracha aioli. I am thrilled to try other sandwich variations with these English muffins. Another pro is that they offer Sparrow Coffee. My husband and I are both fans. There were several small tables for dine-in options. We would love to return and enjoy a cup of coffee with breakfast.
