    Lavender Lemonade & hashbrown
    Ariana G.

    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!

    Sausage, Egg, & Cheese and Housemade Hash Brown
    Mark M.

    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.

    Obsessed with Doma!!!! Breakfast sanwhich was incredibly delicious, hash brown is a must, and pancake was a perfect pair for something sweet. Staff were all extremely kind and attentive. Clear tables quick.

    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.

    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.

    Olive Oil Cake Slice

    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.

    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!

    The Best Chicken Caesar Salad and hashbrown
    Clara S.

    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.

    Fried Eggs & Chickpeas

    The homemade chicken noodle soup was so good. I've never had fresh homemade restaurant chicken noodle soup like this it was amazing. They also have really good hot teas that work well on a cold day. Serving staff was prompt and pleasant very accommodating. This is a great place. If you just want to have brunch with friends and family, the vibe is very service oriented. Customer forward and chill.

    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!!!!!

    Brato's Turkey Sando (Full)
    Jesse P.

    I've had their drinks before and really enjoyed them, so I was looking forward to trying their food. I finally got a chance to come here for lunch this past Friday and tried the Brato's Turkey Sando. The combination of flavors worked really well, and I especially liked the slaw. I just wish there was a bit more turkey on the sandwich. The patio was really nice too, cozy and peaceful, perfect for a weekday lunch. Overall, I would definitely come back to try their other food items.

    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.

    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.

    What a place. This is so much more than just a coffee house. Tons of options, great ambience, and…read moregenuinely kind people. We started with a mocha, a solid, well-balanced drink that wasn't overly sweet and was just perfect. We didn't plan on eating here, but the menu was way too tempting. We ordered the cinnamon roll, and wow. This was insanely good. Most cinnamon rolls in the U.S. feel like sugar-heavy, cinnamon-flavored buns, but this one was light, flavorful, and beautifully made. The irimshik on top really elevated it, subtle, warm, and just sweet enough. Easy 10/10. Next was the cottage cheese pancake, which was also very good. It had a generous amount of cottage cheese stuffed inside, and paired with the sweet irimshik dip, the dish came together really well. 9/10. We then tried the qattama. It was good. flaky, crispy, and reminded me of a paratha. It came with a sour irimshik dip. While each component was good, I felt the qattama would shine more with a gravy-based dish. 7/10. Finally, we ordered the Nan Salma pasta. It's a tarry-based white sauce pasta with a unique flavor profile, and it was genuinely yum. Definitely something different and worth trying. Highly recommend it. 8/10. You have space to sit down and work as well. Service was good too. Some of the dishes might take 7-10mins to get prepared. It's not like your daily coffee shop who have stuff ready to go Overall, a great spot with unique food and a welcoming vibe. Definitely coming back. 9/10

Hella busy, the staff was semi-helpful while I was trying to decide what to order--not rude, just not super engaging either. I ended up settling on a latte, which... whew. $8 for what felt like a few swallows. The cup was hella small, so that part definitely hurt a little. Menu isn't substantial. Despite how packed it was, I was able to take a meeting without too much trouble--shoutout to my noise-canceling headphones, because they were doing the heavy lifting. The space itself is on the smaller side, so if you're planning to camp out for a while, just know it can feel tight. The bathroom could've used a little attention. Nothing major, and maybe expected with a lot of people. Overall, it's a decent stop if you need coffee and a place to sit for a bit, especially in a pinch. Just be prepared for crowds, limited space, and pricey drinks that disappear way too fast.
