    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    WOW!! Schneider Deli has been on my radar for so long and it did not disappoint. If there's one…read morething I know, it is a good corn beef sandwich, and Schneider's Deli was no different. While we had originally gone there for bagel sandwiches, it was past noon and they were sold out (just means I have to go back now). The latkes were the perfect side that we ordered and the corn beef was so juicy. The sandwich practically melted in my mouth. It was consumed rather quickly and the perfect amount of sauerkraut and dressing. This location is small, but we were luckily able to get a table inside. Just writing this review my mouth is watering and I just know I will be coming back here during my many visits to Chicago!

    I really want to like them so much more than I do. If there were a continuum from hipster deli…read more(think Mile End) to traditional deli (Manny's, 2nd Avenue, etc) Schneider would on the hipster side of center. 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.
