They do have a little dessert/coffee counter in the front of the restaurant where it connects to the hospital, which is kind of convenient if you want something sweet after dinner. We didn't try anything, but the cookies were huge. My husband and I both ordered the wild mushroom teriyaki bowl. I added shrimp to mine and he added chicken. The bowl didn't have much flavor and the vegetables were really hard and barely cooked. The kids got the chicken strips and fries. They were ok as expected.

We stood in a fast moving line to enter this behemoth of a coffee shop, restaurant, bar and more. I was initially overwhelmed with the crowds of people and the options to eat and drink at this place. I was here with our group of 5 and we needed to maneuver between the multiple levels and lines of people here. It was an adventure and be ready to spend some time here to receive the full experience. We secured a table and stood in line to place our orders of coffee, matcha, savory and sweet delectables and more. Everything was delicious and service was fast and efficient here. Each level had its focus points. Too many to write about. I recommend checking out the website @www.starbucksreserve.com for details. Definitely a place to bookmark if you're visiting Chicago.

I've been to the Seattle and New York Reserve and this one was just about the same but more crowded. I ended up purchasing a mug and two drinks. The line for drinks and food took at least 45 minutes. Drinks were expensive but you're really there for the ambiance and experience.

They consistently provide quality parties and merchandise, drinks are always a hit, service is always on point! I love this location in Chicago as it has a great outdoor seating area that not many locations offer! The hard part of visiting is trying to pick which item to try this time around! So many options and selections to choose from! You can never go wrong with their crème brûlée donut. However I'm not too much of a fan of their cakes. Not worth the prices in my opinion and I don't think they are the best tasting but it's just me and my preference as it's always good to give them a try for your own!

Line moved pretty fast though. I got the bacon egg and cheese brioche sandwich and a hot coffee. The sandwich was incredible. Soft, fluffy eggs and the perfect amount of cheese. The coffee was also great - not too strong (which I like). Would definitely come back.

However, they make the food fast, within 5 minutes, even when busy. We got the old fashioned donut, the Vera Cruz egg breakfast sandwich, and spicy fried chicken sandwich. The donuts are decent, but skip the fried chicken sandwich as the chicken is a bit underseasoned and dry. The breakfast sandwich is good and relatively affordable.

Once you place your order, someone there will get you a seat, so you won't have to hunt for your own seating (which is soooo helpful) and then servers will run your food and drinks to you. We had the morning sandwich, turkey bacon and egg croissant , lavender lemonade, a lemon mini Bundt cake and the salted chocolate cold brew. The food was soooo good!! The lemon Bundt was lemony but not overpowering, my favorite breakfast sandwich was the croissant; it had a sauce on it that was soooooo good!!!! The drinks were just as good as the food!

The perfect way to start your morning! They also have an extensive selection of pastries, so there's definitely something for everyone.

I stopped around 9:45 a.m. on a Friday and was able to find seating. The service was excellent, friendly, and welcoming. I ordered a vanilla latte, but the coffee itself was very standard, especially for the price. It tasted like regular coffee with cream and flavoring rather than a carefully made specialty latte. The attractive setting and excellent service helped, but the coffee did not justify the premium pricing for me.

Visiting Chicago for the…read morefirst time and with an hour to my appointment in the Hancock Tower's 360 feature, I had plenty of time to get a quick bite before the Chicago 360. So searching in Yelp I see a Cuban restaurant, and that's my fav, so I went in and I had a great early dinner. Cafecito would be at home in a pre-revolutionary Cuban building, when Art Deco architecture permeated much of Havana and the other major cities in Cuba. Plenty of outdoor seating, but I chose to eat in the cafe area due to time constraints. I had the Vaca Frita which I haven't had in over 60 years and wow, it was amazing. It came with the proverbial white rice, black beans with plenty of condiment, and maduros. Oh yummy. My Cuban grandma would have been pleased... The waiter was indeed, a Cuban American who had come over during the early Cuban diaspora. We chatted a bunch about the old country and had a pleasant conversation about being from the same province in the island. Great reminiscing, great food, great service. Yum.
