    Love the kiosk ordering system. However, I had ordered a long time ago and no one tried to find us. It had the table flag included and they claimed the system doesn't tell them the table flag number. This isn't true because I saw the employees go around and take the flags away once the food was served. Otherwise, it is a fine place to meet up and hang out. There are some board games. Matcha was kind of gross here. They do make super sweet drinks and coffees otherwise.

    Wow! This place is added to my favorites list! The lattes are phenomenal! I loved my honey cinnamon latte and my Nutella latte. Both were just perfect -- flavor and visually beautiful. Spacious interior. Lots of seating--tables, couches, work stations, chess table. It's also kind of a company store, with other snacks and beverages for sale, such as wine. The location is great, right across from Grant Park so great views from the windows. Bright space, lots of natural light. Colorful and vibrant decor too. The vegan glazed donut is very good! I look forward to trying more food. The bathrooms are individual and private, and very clean. They have nice Dyson hand dryers. Fun music playing and the vibes are positive. Excellent and friendly service too. Really kind people. I will be a regular here for sure.

    Matcha Latte

    This cafe is the cutest, the interior is a complete vibe and has a great view .I'm so glad I stopped in as the service was quick and friendly. I ordered an iced ube match with oat milk and it was very light and refreshing. Sadly I couldn't taste or see the ube and it was an extra cost. On a positive note, the oat milk and matcha paired perfectly with a good balance between all flavors involved.

    Coffee: I've tried the mocha and the honey latte, both had a great ratio of milk to espresso. Milk texture was good and foam was rich. Service: The barista was friendly and gave my pet a treat, I really enjoyed the customer service and music was amazing. It was like rnb/house vibes which I loved. Ambiance: The interior design is beautiful and there is no shortage of outlets to work from. Yes the table height to chair height ratio is good, if that matters to anyone. It isn't loud, so you can actually focus here. Overall: good option for wfh, great lattes, friendly staff, pleasant music and interior design. To be honest this place is very underrated, I think it's better than Deko and other south loop options, sheerly due to the experience.

    lots of seating! pretty expensive and i didn't enjoy my latte to the fullest. however it was just not my taste and i didn't really like the almond milk the pastries looked delicious and were in a beautiful case under the counter. the ambiance in here was lovely and it is so beautiful inside my favorite part was their water station. they had a self serve water station and it was really lovely. thank you dollop! there's a cute little market area in the shop to the side that sells fun snacks, ice cream, and wine bathroom 8/10 nice bathroom! i like that there was 4 individual bathrooms, so many which is lovely to me it felt like a space ship. they are spaceship themed and my only comment is that the toilet flush is very loud so don't go in here if you scare easily (joke) workers were chill , i walked here so i have no parking comments nooo! it's downtown though so

    I've been visiting this café since I lived in the building years ago and have continued to return regularly. The baristas are consistently kind, attentive, and welcoming. Bloom makes the best art work in a cup I've ever seen. It's a warm, inviting space ideal for coffee, tea, or breakfast. Their spinach croissants are exceptional--truly the best I've had.

    Honey Cinnamon Latte

    Stopped here for a pick-me-up before a day at the museums. The shop is spacious, clean, and really cozy/pretty especially as it was raining when I was here. There's bar seating, tables, and a couch area that's great for meals or just sitting to work on a laptop. I got a honey cinnamon latte. It was only available iced in a 16oz cup, no other size. It was pretty thick and sweet so I had to wait for the ice to melt a bit. The cinnamon was not too overpowering. Service was friendly. Would come back for the vibes. ヾ(^-^)ノ

    Newly opened with temporary 8am-3pm hours. The space is gorgeous and they plan to expand to cocktail service soon. Looks to be awesome for working coffee spot with lots of outlets. The food was tasty and service is actually at your table (vs counter ordering) if you plan to eat in. They have a few things to work out, but everyone was so friendly and I'm looking forward to trying more items on the menu. It will be a huge hit in the area since their breakfast offerings differ a bit from the usual eggs.

    It's a fantastic spot whether you're in a rush, looking for a quick breakfast, or have time to sit and work. Opening at 7 AM is perfect for early risers, and there's plenty of seating available. They also have a convenient grocery section with frozen and pantry items, plus wine, which is a nice bonus. When I visit, I always go for the breakfast burrito--it's incredibly tasty and satisfying. Payment options are versatile, from Apple Pay to Afterpay and even Cash App. I initially planned to eat only half of the recommended doughnut, but it was so delicious that I couldn't resist devouring the whole thing. They also offer free Wi-Fi, which is perfect for those who want to get some work done while enjoying their meal. Additionally, I was impressed by the quick service--it took less than 10 minutes for my food to arrive, which was fantastic and made the overall experience even better. soft music flows through this place which sets the vibe as people work or chat.

    Super busy on the weekends but nice to be able to go downstairs and get something to eat without having to go outside Takes a while for takeout though Nice decor, big windows and lots of light Nice plant and coffee wall Lattes are nice, though several times have been out of matcha Waffles are fluffy Biscuits are also fluffy and tasty For a while was open during the evenings but not any more Nice to be able to order online then go downstairs to pick up Staff always friendly

    This might be the best cafe to do work in Chicago. It's got a beautiful interior with high ceilings and a plethora of natural light giving way to the Chicago skyline. Internet and outlets are abundant and the late hours are greatly conducive for working or studying. Plus, it's more of a local spot, and didn't seem overly crowded when I went. My very excellent and strong matcha latte was criminally expensive (almost $8), but perhaps that's the cost of such a great ambiance.

    Apolonia absolutely deserves 5 stars for the brunch service. My daughter and I were looking for…read morebreakfast around 11:00 this past Sunday, only to find many places ended breakfast before that. Apologies was nearby our hotel, the Marriott Marquis. We started with a cappuccino and an O.J. Both were perfect and my daughter commented that it tasted like they had just fresh squeezed the oranges moments ago. We considered ordering the pastry tower, but instead opted to share three dishes. It eneded up being more food than we could finish. Portion sizes were big, especially for the quality and price. We shared 1 savory and 2 sweet dishes: the banana business croissant, the warm cinnamon roll, and the fritatta Espinosa. Each one completely impressed us and we're so delicious. We told the server we couldn't belive they were both baking high end pastries like this and preparing amazing savory dishes. Overall, our service was quick and friendly. The room was clean, spacious and modern. If I visit Chicago again from the East Coast, I would happily visit Apolonia again. I would love to try some of the brunch drinks and more items.

None of this was a great surprise. No cocktails, by the way. The tasting menu was photocopies with two menus per sheet of paper and a very sloppy cut for a non-rectangular menu. The problem was the service. I like a paced meal but 2 hr-55 min is absolutely ridiculous. The restaurant was not able to get food onto the table, either because of the quantity of quality of the staff, and the room certainly wasn't very crowded, perhaps 35 customers in sight. I think there were 4 cooks, 2 servers, 2-3 runners/busboys, and a hostess who hustled around doing a lot of odd jobs. Every item served was delicious. The plating was nice as well. The wines were not so successful. Of the four wines on the menu, two differed from the descriptions and the pairings ran from OK to Combative. I have lots of details about the food and wine, but that's not the issue. The poor service was inexcusable. I only get to Chicago one every 2-3 years and there are so many good restaurants that this one has been crossed of the list with a permanent Sharpie.

In browsing through the pictures of Cindy's Rooftop, it looked like it hit that criteria spot-on. The pictures did not lie. When entering the restaurant, the views of Lake Michigan through floor to ceiling windows were amazing and it was nice to enjoy the bright natural light from the glass roof. Once seated, I told our server, Gerardo that it was her birthday and he immediately got her a glass of bubbly on him! He was positive and easy to talk to. This was quite the contrast with the service at Bar Mar for dinner the night before where the server made no attempt to make the night special. We ordered the Blueberry French Toast and the Chilaquiles. The french toast was superb, being thick, fluffy and sweet. The Chilaquiles were pretty average...what I'd expect at a cheap Mexican joint so at $25, it was quite pricey but I will say the over-medium eggs were cooked perfectly. Throughout brunch, Gerardo checked on us frequently and when I asked for the check, he came back with a dessert and a candle as a final gesture to making my girlfriend's day special.
