The food and beverages are delicious! I loved the southwest chicken sandwich, as well as the Caesar salad with chicken. Every ingredient tasted fresh and high quality, and the chicken was tender and juicy. The sandwich also came with a tasty cup of soup. The tomato soup was very nice, and the croutons on top were the perfect touch. I enjoyed such a fun matcha latte! It was called Super Monkey Ball matcha and the presentation was great! The banana cream topping with cinnamon filled the top. Really comfortable place to relax with friends or get some work done.

I asked her for some recommendations and she suggested one of the frozen drinks. I'm so glad she did because I have been craving it ever since! They have a few frozen drinks to choose from, but I went with the cold brew + hazelnut truffle.

I forgot to get photos of it because I drank it so quickly--sorry! The space is so cute inside and it's in a fun area to wander around, right in the heart of Lincoln Square. Can't wait to come back!

Unfortunately the menu overpromises and the food underdelivers, at least that day. -Lentil soup: good flavor, but very watery, more like broth than soup. The amount of soup barely reached a third of the way up the bowl, and the price of $7 for the bowl size was candidly just not worth it. -Beet hummus sandwich: again, good flavor, but I was anticipating a sandwich (as per menu description). What was presented was a single piece of naan spread with a thin layer of beet hummus, scattered with a few toppings. For $13 my expectations were higher. The beet hummus was delicious; with the goal of recreating this at home I asked a member of the staff about the ingredients. Unfortunately rather than saying, "I'm not sure, but let me check," they responded with "I don't know. I just started and I don't know most of the menu items." There is a lot of fabulous food in Chicago. Although Oromo Cafe is fine, I recommend saving ones dining experience and money for something truly fabulous.

The decor is dark and unique and the staff are friendly, though they clearly stay very busy throughout the day. It should be noted that wait times for drinks can occasionally run long, so it's worth building in a little extra time if you're not in a rush- on certain days, expect to wait around 10 minutes for your drink. Overall, worth it for the fruit basket matcha alone.

It was better than I ever expected! There are about a million pastry options, first of all, which is the BEST! No shortage of sweet or savory options here. Second, the coffee menu was also awesome! I got a creamsicle iced something or another and it was soooo yummy. My boyfriend was very jazzed for a geisha coffee pour over and drank it with his pinky up of course because, fancy. The ambiance was PHENOMMMM truly can't get over the vibe. Every detail inside this place was so carefully curated and well thought out, it was stunning. Everywhere I looked I couldn't stop admiring something, from a sconce to a tabletop color to a bonsai. Everything was stunning. It was also so much bigger than I expected! I loved that there were so many different rooms and different seating options. In chatting with a team member, they offered us a little tour which was really the cherry on top. My boyfriend got to share his joy and knowledge of coffee and get a behind the scenes look at how they do what they do. Thank you, Milli by Metric! We truly can't wait to come back!

This is a walk-up service spot, and everyone working there has always been friendly and welcoming in my experience. The space itself has large front windows and a slightly upscale café/diner feel, making it a comfortable place to post up for a bit. They're mostly known for café-style items, but the menu has some really good bites as well. I've had their French toast in the past, and it was great. Overall, it's a convenient and reliable spot if you need somewhere casual to meet, work, or catch up with someone over light food and drinks. 4 out of 5 stars.

Unfortunately, the food quality has gotten worse with every visit. I usually order the lox bagel, but it is definitely not worth $15. It doesn't taste very good, comes with only one slice of smoked salmon, and has too much onion. The coffee is okay. On my last visit, I ordered the avocado toast. It looked far from appetizing. It was served as two slices of toast with cubed avocado and a sauce on top that ruined the taste. It seems like the cooks are not putting much effort into preparing the food. On top of that, every time I have eaten there, the tables have been very sticky. I would rather spend my money at places that provide better food and a better dining experience.

The cocktail sauce and the tartar/aïoli sauce was amazing, and the shrimp was perfectly cooked. 5/5 crispy, artichoke with an aïoli sauce. Beautifully presented, perfectly crispy. The aïoli was so delicious. I kept it for the rest of my meal as it being sauce. 4/5 American breakfast with egg whites. Egg whites were slightly runny, but good portion. The bacon was crispy and slightly sweet. Super yummy. Crispy potatoes were like a deep fried large country potato. Good with the aïoli, but I didn't eat too much. 4/5 petite potato, American style.

I wish I could remember our servers name but it was a young man with glasses & he was fabulous.
