    BLTA sandwich
    Clarissa C.

    The vibes are nice and the food is pretty good! Didn't blow my socks away or anything, but I think it's a standard and solid breakfast/brunch spot, and you can sit there as long as you want since it's mostly self service. One side of the booth has superrr plump cushions that sink in when you sit and pillows too. Saw some ppl working on their laptops too - perfect remote work spot. I cannot resist ordering pasta whenever it's on any menu so I got the wild mushroom Alfredo fettuccine, which came with a really light and creamy sauce and some porcini mushrooms. I loveddd the thinly sheet shaved gruyere cheese on top which added some nice salty bits throughout the pasta. For this being mainly a brunch spot, thought this was quite delish and al dente. I think they make their pastries in house! You could see the inside of their baking kitchen through the glass windows!

    I stopped into Cupitol before work to grab a quick coffee and breakfast to go because they were the only coffee shop in the West Loop open early, and it ended up being just what I needed. I ordered an iced Nutella latté, a bagel with cream cheese, and hash browns to go. While I waited for my food and drink, I sat in the open seating. There are plenty of seating options for solo diners, small groups, and mid-size groups. The Nutella latté wasn't overwhelmingly sweet, so it's the perfect option for someone looking to satisfy their sweet tooth in the morning while still getting their caffeine fix. The bagel was toasted to perfection and came with Philly cream cheese. The hash browns came out fresh and were excellent-- not undercooked like I've found those of other coffee shops to be. Cupitol also offers a full lunch menu, and if the food is as fresh and delicious as the breakfast menu, you won't be disappointed.

    I stopped here for a quick bite before catching a train out of Ogilvie Transportation Center. It was not too busy for a Sunday morning. It is a counter service place, where you order at the counter and they bring the food to your table but you pick up your drinks from the counter. I got the breakfast sandwich that came with bacon, American cheese, and a fried egg on a croissant. The bacon was perfectly cooked as I prefer for it to be on the crispy side. The staff were friendly and informed me it would take about 5 minutes for the iced green tea that I ordered. I was appreciative of getting the heads up. Because I had a bit of time I opted to dine in. The space is a little small but I would call it cozy and not too cramped. This might be my go to place for breakfast before catching a train in the future.

    I have kinda mixed feelings about the place. I have ordered here a couple times when leaving the Metra station, which makes it a super duper convenient stop (especially on those days when I continue over to the CTA station instead taking a taxi). What I like: Their croissants are amazing, and I'm not even a croissant fan! I've ordered their breakfast sandwich and the croissant on which it's built is amazing. Buttery, flaky--a lot of other croissants look even more unappetizing now. They use a fried egg in the sandwich but I was able to select scrambled when I ordered online and they accommodated that request, so I assume you could as at the point of sale for a swap of egg style too. I've also had a pastry--actually, I think two, because I know I've had a cinnamon roll and I may have had a cheese danish too. The cinnamon roll doesn't look exactly like they often do--it looks like it's made in a muffin pan, but it is indeed a cinnamon roll and it's really good. What I don't like: Their pickup system, or lack thereof. I placed an order online so that I didn't have to wait when I got off the train. I ordered it when we were at the Clybourn stop so that it would be finished or close to when I got there. So when I arrived I wasn't sure where to go for pickup. It didn't make sense that I would need to stand in line so I went in via the exit door and... nothing that told me, by communication after placing my order or in store, that told me what next. The person at the register had a line of at least seven folks almost out the door so it didn't really seem like I should cut in to ask him whilst he was taking an order, and obviously that makes no sense anyway. There was a woman behind the espresso machine making drinks. There was a pickup sign on the counter but that seemed to be for those people who had just placed their order in store (and either way, there wasn't anything there). There was a woman wandering around and into the back but as I stood there for a few minutes, she didn't say anything. So finally I asked the woman making drinks where I was supposed to pick up an online order and the woman who was wandering went to get it (it was behind the counter, where it had been sitting since I got there because I had been watching the folks that had been in the front for a time when I could interrupt and none had brought something out). She placed it on the pickup area on the counter... so why couldn't they have left it there from the start and I could have just picked it up and left? Something they really need to improve upon since they do online orders. They have a good amount of indoor seating and they also have outdoor seating. If I understand correctly, they have wine and stuff in the evening? Good idea. I'll definitely be returning, because there's truly no easier way to get a quick breakfast or drink to go when I hop off the train, but I guess I'll just be pushier next time and/or cut in front of other customers.

    Service was very fast! Our food came out just as fast as our drinks. For the location, prices were incredibly reasonable. Our food was also delicious! Definitely a good spot when you want something good, filling, and quick!

    Soup of the day: Chicken Noodle
    Julia C.

    Perfect fast, casual brunch place on the go! Also a good spot for sit down, reading or working. The cortado (latte) art was adorable as seen in many other pics! And the service was most notably the best part :) we enjoyed our little stop through here.

    Front Entrance
    Nicole T.

    Excellent Customer Service!! Very good ambiance & decor with fresh flowers on a beautiful long wood table. Would have rated it 5/5 for only that. The food we ordered just seemed bland with not a lot of distinct stand out flavors, hence the 4/5 stars. Our group ordered the Breakfast Sandwich, Lox Bagel (wasn't a fan of the herb cream cheese), Classic Breakfast and Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl (very good curry flavor-Gluten Free). Would definitely return and try some other items on the menu.

    Iced cafe freddo
    Anna T.

    I love this place! It's the perfect affordable, quick and cute lunch or breakfast stop! Service is fast, and staff is so friendly! They are dog friendly and have a patio! They gave our doggies pup cups! I had the iced cafe freddo, which is an iced cappuccino and it was soooo delicious! Will be getting this again and again. I also had the Cobb salad with chicken. This chicken was so crispy and moist, while the salad was perfectly dressed. I cant wait to keep coming here, it's my new go to!

    european breakfast (made with homemade granola and honey from Greece - how amazing!!)  Breakfast Sandwich

    Amazing food and service at Cupitol! They have clean and healthy ingredients in their food and I would highly recommend trying this spot! And there is a very cute patio!

    House-cured Salmon, Herb cream cheese, Cucumber, Bagel Wholewheat, Sesame.  Chai Latte
    Taquanda H.

    Had a quick breakfast at theis coffee shop before a meeting. There order attendant and the server were both pleasant. The coffee shop has a small area for seating with chairs and benches. Although comfortable, they do need to shampoo the material on the bench seating. I ordered a Chai Tea latte and Lox and bagel. The Chai was a bit weak in the herb taste and something on the lox and bagel was a bit salty. I could not tell if it was the bagel or lox. I would return again to try some of their pastries and would order a different beverage.

    Family style table
    Paul M.

    It's a nice quick coffee stop that bakes their own pastries. They smell fabulous, I wish I could eat them. The staff were friendly and service was very quick. Mostly people getting coffee and pastries on the way to work. One thing I do really like is the family style table, come have coffee with friends.

    SWEET POTATO BOWL
    Michelle L.

    I came here with my friend for brunch and we ordered the sweet potato bowl and the gravlax bagel! I didn't try the bagel sandwich but she said it was good- the sweet potato bowl was also tasty but not what I was expecting. I didn't really taste much coconut, but I liked the addition of the poached egg. Though we had to wait a bit to get seated our food came out pretty quickly! Seems like a popular spot for brunch so I would recommend coming earlier rather than later to avoid a wait!

    One of Chicago's most renowned Italian Beef Sandwiches, originating in 1938. A special trip to try…read moreit, and it was truly satisfying. Regular Combo: A combination of beef and sausage. The meat portion was very generous; the beef was thinly sliced ​​but juicy and not dry or hard at all; the sausage had a rich smoky flavor, not too salty, and tastes a lot like Harbin red sausage. Al's Classic Hand-Cut Fries: They were piping hot when I received them, so touching! I couldn't taste the hand-cut texture, but there was a spice powder similar to salt and pepper, and the flavor was quite good.

Kinda skimpy on the fixings on the Chicago dog, but still gets the job done if you're craving a Chicago dog. Fries are the type that are greasy to the touch; not my fave style of fries but I know it's a well-liked one to others. Super friendly lady at the cashier (all smiles, patient, and offered menu help)! Also fast service (got my order within a few minutes). I visited on a Saturday late afternoon and it was very chill here (also shoutout to the early 2000's era music playing :p it was a vibe). Overall I'd say it's not a bad food spot at all if you want a quick bite and want to be a little away from the Magnificent Mile crowds.

Ordering is straight forward with lots of customizations. Picking up your food is a bit hectic as there is a main pick up counter and a separate area for pick up if they are swamped. It'll be announced on the speakers. Took close to an hour for our order to be called, customers crowd the pick up counter even though they just ordered so be prepared to squeeze past people to get your food. Tables are also taken up by customers waiting for their group to grab their food. Seating is on both levels and outside so it's somewhat plentiful but expect some issues if you go at a peak time. As for the food we got the Italian beef, Chicago hotdog, fries, chocolate cake, and the cake shake. The Italian beef is amazing! Would recommend getting that along with extra peppers! The peppers really bring it all together. The Chicago dog was alright, it is good, fresh, and different from your normal hotdog. Fries were fries, they accommodated the meal well but wasn't anything outstanding. Our uber driver recommended the chocolate cake and the shake. I would say the cake is just average, it was a little under 'moist' status and the fudge icing is a little too sweet but maybe that's just how you would picture chocolate cake. The cake shake is the better version of it, mixed with their chocolate shake it felt nicer to suck it up through a straw. If you sign up for their rewards you'll get the cake for $1 Overall not a bad experience, they are opening a new location by the river in downtown so that might help with wait times. Highly recommend that Italian beef!!

Two of us shared a half pound pastrami on rye with a side of hash browns. The rye was pretty decent but the pastrami was sliced far too thick and the meat was lean. That is not a good thing when it comes to pastrami and I attribute the lean meat to the deli catering to its hipster-ish audience. Although the flavor was decent, the sandwich was dry and difficult to eat. We disagreed on the generously sized pickle. One of us thought the flavor was just right, the other not so much. We both agreed on the hash browns. It's a no-go. They were well fried but entirely unseasoned. I understand the lack of schmaltz but there was no onion or salt or anything else. Waffle House has nothing to worry about. (IYKYK) Service was fast and polite. The space is tiny, but it works. Prices are okay for this area but if you want traditional deli in Chicago, go to Manny's.
