Came back, gave it another try, and it was a great experience! Came here Saturday morning right when it opened to catch up with a friend. There was practically no line and ordered quickly at the counter. It was very easy to find an open table on the patio. My sausage, egg, and cheese and cold brew came out pretty quickly. The breakfast sandwich was absolutely amazing, the sauce added so much flavor and the egg was perfectly fluffy. I would definitely come back again just for the breakfast sandwich. read more

Incredible food. Worth the hype. You may think that a simple breakfast meal cannot be done wrong but there are so many restaurants that prove that wrong. I am not sure what the flavors in the breakfast sandwich are but my goodness, it is delicious. The hashbrowns were also perfectly crispy. The matcha latte was not too sweet and perfectly executed. The service was also well done. You order up front and then your food is brought to you. I went as soon as they opened on a weekday and it was not as busy as I have heard. They did take a few minutes to open the door past opening time but I don't think that is typical. read more

There's usually a huge line here because they're known for their breakfast sandwiches. The sandwich was solid, just had a little too much sauce for me. 7.5/10. The hashbrown tasted homemade and was pretty good. 7/10. The cevapi was okay, nothing special. 6/10. The Earl Grey milk tea was way too thick and I couldn't even finish it. 3/10. It's definitely loud and high energy in there, and with so many people waiting for tables, you kind of feel rushed while eating. Service was still good though. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. read more

Yum yum yum! I've been here in person and door dashed swadesi, and it's great! The cevapi is amazing, great in person and door dashed. Eating in person is a little difficult because they don't take rezzies and it's an extremely popular spot, making it hard to grab a table. If you want to eat in person, I'd recommend going a bit earlier than you want to eat so you can grab a table. read more

Finally got to try this place! Super yummy and definitely fulfills your breakfast cravings with a Croatian twist. They were also featured on "The Bear" on Hulu. The breakfast sandwich is great! It's simple yet delicious - it's not trying too hard. The english muffin is soft and they don't skimp on the egg. The sauce adds a good flavor and is not over bearing. The cevapi was delicious too! It was my friends first time trying Croatian food too. Great portion for sharing! Great flavor! We each ordered a hashbrown but mine was taking long for some reason. They gave us an extra one for free as an apology. That's great customer service to me! read more

Asked a rando at the gym their favorite breakfast sandwich spot and Doma was it so I decided to try. Able to order online through toast to save some time. Sausage, egg, and cheese on an English muffin with a legendary hash brown. They have a takeout/pickup window which is nice. Took about 10 minutes which wasn't bad since I ordered online. Sandwich itself was nice with a little spice. Egg was fluffy and light, cheese was ooey and gooey. Hashbrown stole the show with the honey mustard dipping sauce. Crispiest hash brown I've ever had! Sandwich was $10 and the hash brown was $4. Well worth the drive to try. read more

After seeing all the hype for what was rated one of Chicago's best breakfast sandwiches, I was a bit disappointed by this (aesthetically lovely) Balkan-American fusion cafe in River North. The environs are very pleasant, so I would certainly spend time here with a coffee if the occasion permitted. But as it relates to the signature egg and cheese on an English muffin, I found the scrambled eggs plentiful but a bit dry. The hot sauce wasn't really enough to uplift the sandwich for me. All to say, I would view this more as a solid neighborhood joint rather than a destination breakfast. read more

This cafe, featured in the Bear, has a good breakfast sandwich! A little on the pricier side I loveeeed the sauce and flavor it brought to an otherwise standard breakfast sandwich. The coffee left a bit to be desired, it was a bit burnt tasting. read more

Doma Cafe we love you! Truly somewhere you can rely on for good eats... and it's approachable, so it's a win win. Let's bring back chill dining establishments that don't have too many frills. I've tried much of the menu and can report that the breakfast sandwich is hyped for a reason. That English muffin is magical, eggs and proteins are cooked well, the ratios are right on and oh boy that hot sauce with the slight sweetness is just a wow. I could also eat the turkey sandwich everyday, it's amazing and I think you should try. I appreciate that they offer half and whole portions of their lunch sammies. It's counter service and the food typically comes quick. They do a popular carry out business with a separate walk up window. Chill vibes for dine in. read more

My brother-in-law took me and my fiancé to this café while we were in Chicago. From the outside, it looks like a simple quiet café but as you enter, you realize they have a back patio that is completely packed. We went here on a Saturday morning for a little snack and substance, and we were absolutely thrilled by the amazing food. You're supposed to enter the line and order at the counter and then get seated. They will deliver the food to your seat. Our favorite was definitely the olive oil cake slices and the hashbrowns. Definitely worth a try. read more

Cute cozy little cafe serving Mediterranean options. On a weekday morning, the place was pretty busy with most of the tables full. We ordered at the counter and our order was brought out to us pretty quickly. I got the lentil soup and avocado toast combo which was 10/10 value. The soup was flavorful and so warming especially on a chilly fall day. Avocado toast was good as well. For drink, I got a matcha latte which was perfectly creamy. Overall, a solid cafe spot. Nothing blew me away, but would still recommend! read more

Just when I thought I hated going out to breakfast....I went to Doma and rediscovered my love for a good cafe!!! You order at the counter at Doma, so it's definitely more of a cafe vibe than a sit down breakfast / brunch which I loved. They had so many things I wanted to try, including the coffee which looked amazing. My absolute favorite was the breakfast sandwich. The eggs were SO FLUFFY and the english muffin was soft on the inside but had a very slight crunch on the outside. The hash brown was the best I've ever had. It was incredibly crispy on the outsides and came with honey mustard and ketchup - YUM!!!! The chicken caesar was just alright in my opinion and was very expensive for that it was. Overall, I LOVED Doma and cannot WAIT to go back!!!!! read more

My friend and I stopped by this place after a pickleball session, having seen it recently in a Jeremy Allen reel on Instagram. We ordered freshly squeezed orange juice and an avocado toast. The juice was super refreshing after our game, and we went slightly off the menu to get the avocado toast. The place is small with limited seating, but we didn't have to wait even though we went around brunch time. It has a cozy, brunchy vibe, you place your order at the counter, and they give you a placard with your number. Overall, it's a nice, casual spot for brunch. I'd definitely recommend it for brunch. read more

Doma is family owned and it shows. Real food, made with care, served by people who actually want you there. I've never left hungry and never left in a bad mood, which is a harder combo to pull off than it sounds. If you're nearby, go. You'll get it the second you sit down. A+ 5 out of 5 stars!! read more

Whew - finally made it to Doma Cafe for the breakfast sandwich. I live right next to it, but there's always such a long line on weekends. Decided to try it out on a Wednesday at 11am and that was the right move! Ordered inside at the counter and my food was delivered at the outside patio relatively quickly. Ordered the breakfast sandwich with sausage and their house made hash brown. GET THE HASH BROWN. Added it to my sandwich just to feel a little somethin. The sandwich reminds you of an egg McMuffin, if an egg McMuffin was good and had bursting flavors you can't determine. We love nostalgia. But seriously, this was savory, sweet, and spicy and I had no clue what on the sandwich was giving it that flavor! I I ate each individual item to further determine and found the sauce packed it all in - the sweetness made this stand out for me. Balanced with the savory of the sausage ... come on!!! I'll take 14 of them right now. read more

The hype is real, but the line goes fast! It's definitely worth the wait to get this amazing breakfast sandwich and more. The bacon, generous amount of egg and cheese with some delicious sauce on a warm juicy English muffin is an excellent combination. The hashbrown is dense and crispy. The chicken ceasar salad is a nice big portion - I think I'd try the grilled instead of the breaded next time. read more

My friend and I decided to swing by Doma Cafe after a pickleball session to fuel up. Upon entering, we noticed that the space was small with limited seating. You have to place orders by the counter and they bring your order to the table. We ordered some freshly squeezed orange juice and avocado toast. The menu is limited, it's more of a brunch place. The orange juice was very refreshing. The avocado toast was big and hearty. The service was pretty fast and the place was clean. We also came to know that Jeremy Allen had swung by this cafe while he was shooting for a movie. The staff were friendly and helpful. I'd definitely swing by for a casual brunch again. read more

Unfortunately, my experience here was underwhelming. I ordered the turkey sandwich & it came out with a bunch of raw bacon on it. I was told that the bacon is precooked and put on the sandwich, so I ordered another without the bacon on it. It was not only not crispy, it just wasn't cooked. Even after I got it without the bacon, I didn't really enjoy it. My boyfriend enjoyed his breakfast sandwich with the sausage, even though the egg was a little thick. Probably will not be back. read more

Review by :Avila.Eats on TikTok, insta, YouTube Service: staff is friendly. Ambiance/Atmosphere: inside is nice but crowded and very loud. This would be a nice place to hangout with friends. Food: Sausage egg and cheese was delicious. Fluffy soft eggs with perfectly melted cheese and a delicious maple sausage patty. The sweet and savory paired beautifully. I'd insist on this order. Hash brown was crispy and well seasoned. The flavor was excellent and interior was pillowy soft. I'd highly recommend. Pistachio hazelnut danish was alright. Crispy with a chocolate center and hazelnut. Pistachio flavor was very weak but if you enjoy hazelnut/nutella you'd enjoy. read more

I really wanted to love this, and it was solid meal, but looking back, nothing to rave about. We came here at the end of summer and there was a LINE out the door. We waited maybe 20-30 min in line before we finally made it inside and got seated. Absolutely packed inside. Definitely a good vibe for a weekend brunch, lovely interior with lots of sunlight, but it was a bit weird dining next to the line of people waiting to get seated and overhearing their commentary on what's on everyone's tables. The line also grew exponentially while we were eating since it was getting close to noon. We ordered the Breakfast Plate and Chicken Caesar Wrap. Breakfast Plate was expensive for what it was. The hash brown that came with it was probably the only stand out. It was perfectly crispy and not dry. The Chicken Caesar Wrap was flavorful although a bit dry at times. If I had to get it again, I would just get it in salad form. I wouldn't pass up on the chance to come back, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come try this place again. I have a feeling we might of just ordered wrong. Next time, I would try the Grain Bowl or Turkey Sando. read more

I'm always on a hunt for a good breakfast sandwich and had heard good things about Doma Cafe.

Doma is a neighborhood gem that is a great spot to visit for locals and tourists alike. I prefer their breakfast sandwich with crispy bacon with a side of their hashbrown.

Ordered pickup and it was ready close to the pickup time (12:32 for a 12:30 quote). Got the breakfast sandwich with sausage ($9.50) and the turkey sandwich ($18.50). The breakfast sandwich was fine -- eggs, house sauce, English muffin -- but nothing memorable. There are definitely better breakfast sandwiches around (Loaf Lounge is still my go-to). The turkey sandwich was good but $18.50 feels way too steep, even with bacon. The Publican sourdough bread was the highlight, but overall it didn't feel worth the price. read more

We stopped by around 9:30am and were finally able to get a table without having to wait. The food was good and came out pretty quickly, but definitely on the more expensive end for what you get. We tried the: - Hazelnut Pistachio Danish - Raspberry Danish - Iced Latte - Iced Americano - Hash brown - Breakfast Sandwich (w/bacon) The danishes were both excellent, soft and flavorful. I think the star of the show for the hash brown was actually the honey mustard sauce, sweet and tangy. The breakfast sandwich comes with a thick egg and the bacon is pretty good as well. There is a spicy sauce on top that is doing some heavy lifting. read more

Love Doma, huge favorite of my mine and of everybody that I bring!! You can't go wrong with a chai latte and a breakfast sandwich with the hash brown!! Love the outdoor seating area in the back and the inside is so cozy. It gets really busy so definitely make sure you get there early or are quick to grab a table if it opens. Do yourself a favor and check it out!! read more

Doma Café completely blew me away. The location is perfect, easy to get to but still feels like a local secret. The service is fast, the food comes out quickly, and everything tastes like it was made with real care. You can tell everything is homemade in the best way possible. I had the egg and chickpea dish, yogurt with granola and cherry compote, and hash browns, and everything was delicious. The honey mustard and ketchup are both house-made and completely ruin store-bought versions forever. The carrot ginger juice was bright and refreshing, and the blueberry fizz was light, bubbly, and perfectly balanced. And the breakfast sandwiches deserve a special shoutout. They're what McDonald's wishes their breakfast sandwiches tasted like, comforting and full of flavor without feeling heavy or greasy. There's a warmth to Doma that's hard to describe. It's casual but elevated, cozy but cool, and every detail feels thoughtful. You can tell they care deeply about their food and their guests. It's the kind of café you immediately want to come back to and the kind of place that makes you feel lucky it's in your neighborhood. read more

One of my favorite sandwiches in the city. The English muffin is fluffy. The eggs folded up perfectly. Gooey cheese. And I add a hash brown to it. The little sauce it comes with adds another layer of flavor. Iced lattes are also on point. The little pick up window is so clutch. We always order ahead and pick up. read more

Updating my review since I've been back a few times and tried more menu items. I recently tried the breakfast sandwich which I loved! The eggs were quite fluffy and the English muffin was tasty. Highly recommend getting the hash brown too - it's delicious. The Caesar salad is yummy also! The kata club is still probably one of my favorite things; it's just so unique and fresh. It was very busy on a Saturday at 10:30am but also not impossible to find a table. I like that (at least on the weekends) this space is more for gathering and conversing rather than working/ studying so the tables turn over relatively fast. read more

Doma is a perfect breakfast takeout or eat in establishment if you order inside at the counter. The line for both grows fast but the service is quick. Avocado toast was a highlight for new and I love the way they cook their over medium eggs. When you order in at the counter they give you a number and bring the food to you. Not a big place so grab a table as quick as possible. All worth it. If you are looking for a "sit down service" establishment, this is not that . It is about the food quality and quick service and take out. My nephew lives close by and recommended it for the food. Not much ambiance but not here for that. Just GREAT food and to get in and out quicker than a regular sit down full service restaurant. We will be back. read more

It certainly did not disappoint. read more

Doma Cafe has incredible food, especially the hashbrowns which are honestly next-level and probably the best I've ever had. The quality is consistently great. That said, the service really needs work. Both times I've been, my order was messed up, and it seemed like the issue started at the register with someone not really paying attention. It's frustrating, especially when it's something as simple as a breakfast sandwich. What stood out even more was the overall vibe behind the counter... there were a lot of employees just standing around talking, and the attitude came off a bit uppity. It doesn't quite match the casual nature of the restaurant, and it makes the experience feel less welcoming than it should. I hate to even say it because the food really is good, but service matters. Right now, it feels like they're leaning on the hype a bit from The Bear. If that doesn't improve, it's hard to see people coming back consistently. Overall, amazing food (especially the hashbrowns), average sandwich, but disappointing service that takes away from the experience. read more

Perfect spot for coffee and breakfast! The coffee is so good; I got a honey latte and would highly recommend. Unlike most coffee shops they have a really robust menu of food, and everything on it looked amazing! I went with the breakfast sandwich and the homemade hot sauce they put on it was so good! I would buy a bottle if they sold it! The staff was super friendly and the atmosphere was very lively. The interior is so cute and well layed out and even has overflow seating in the back! It's a must check out! read more
