    Breakfast burrito and egg bites
    Amber L.

    Such great lattes here! My favorite is the bananas foster latte. Good breakfast options ranging from pastries to full entrees like breakfast burritos. The vibe is causal. There is nice pop music in the background but at a very low level. Lots of people come here to work on their laptops.

    Chic, elevated, but cozy coffee shop that serves delicious coffee drinks and yummy and unique breakfast sandwich options. Ample seating but great for grab and go too.

    Super friendly service, lots of seating and an AMAZING Bananas Foster Latte! (They have other fun flavors, too.)

    I'm seriously disgusted. How could you send me for my $40 breakfast of a coffee and 2 not so cheap sandwiches ($14 and $11) MOLDLY PROSCUITTO with white mold specks, stale bread and jelly and goat cheese and OLD bread and stale old fake fried egg?!!!!!! You should be ashamed of yourself. I had to get a refund from ubereats. Coffee was very messy made flavorwise, the banana foster is all over the place. ZERO STARS.

    Bacon egg bites, orange vanilla latte
    Christina H.

    I had high expectations since they had great Yelp reviews however the food and drinks didn't meet my expectations. I kid you not, I couldn't find a chunk of bacon in my egg bites despite them being bacon and cheese bites. Good thing it came with a side of hot sauce because it really lacked flavor. I also couldn't taste orange in my iced latte. Service was very friendly and everything came out fast, which is a pro. It's also a comfy place to work or study since they have plenty of seating and free wifi.

    Strawberry lemonade matcha
    James Q.

    The strawberry lemonade matcha was amazing. All 3 distinct flavors were perfectly balanced. It was a really great vibe and really fast service too.

    Ordered the Tiramisu and the banana fosters latte. Very disappointing no flavor in either of them. Coffee tasted very watered down and nothing that was described. Saw so many positive reviews but didn't live up to the expectations.

    Charming little coffee shop on Halsted that gave us the perfect pick-me-up with their custom lattes. The Bananas Foster Latte and Tiramisu Latte were both fantastic, full of flavor and creativity. We also tried the Strawberry Matcha Lemonade--refreshingly delicious and unlike anything we've had before.

    This is my second time visiting and overall love the vibes here and the number of drink options and food options (savory and sweet!) the first time I came it seemed a bit better and this time it felt like they were cranking out the drinks so fast and the milano flavor was pretty muted in the latte I ordered, and they were out of the orange vanilla one that i liked last time, even at 9 am! Overall would recommend, maybe this recent time was just an off day.

    Came back again and decided to try some new coffee flavors and a sandwich. The Prosciutto and Goat Cheese Panini was very good. The prosciutto wasn't necessarily the best, but it was good. The coffees were just okay, we tried the Creme Bru-Latte and Tiramisu Latte. I still prefer the Milano Cookie Latte.

    Amazing coffee and food! We stopped in for a late breakfast and ordered an iced cold brew with a splash of oat milk, the loaded breakfast burrito, and the avocado breakfast bagel - all tasted great! The avocado breakfast bagel was a standout, highly recommend! Seating was ample, modern and clean decor, and this is a very comfortable place to hang out, work, or meet with friends. Our service was very quick and friendly as well.

    Creme bru-latter and matcha mango
    Rachel C.

    Stopped by Monday morning for a little pick me up. Ordered the creme bru-latte and a matcha mango latte. The creme bru-latte was sooo yummy but the mango matcha latte tasted weird since they used a cheap tasting mango syrup. Definitely recommend the creme bru-latte but do NOT recommend the mango matcha. There are a lot of tables for working. Pretty quiet considering most people are working on their own things instead of chatting

The Turkey Turkey sandwich is still my favorite, they also have good soups (great tortilla soup), cakes and pies also. I love that they kept the original decor, wall art and interior over the decades which gives it a nice 90's look and vibe compete with 90's-00's music. I almost expect Meg Ryan from You've Got Mail to walk in.

I went around 6:30pm on a weekday and things were pretty quiet- although this seemed to be popular for takeout, the interior was very cute and there was ample room for seating. They have an extensive menu of delicious sandwiches on homemade bread, so it was hard to pick just one! I opted for the roast beef sandwich, and it could have definitely lasted for two moderately sized meals. It took a bit longer than expected to come out, but it was perfectly toasted and truly made to order. The unsung hero of the sandwich was the rosemary ciabatta bread, which added that subtle extra flavor that would remind you this is a speciality spot. The avocado and grilled onions with melty cheese made for a well rounded rich flavor. I do think the beef could have been a tiny bit fresher and think a more flavorful aioli would have upped the sandwich, but overall it was still tasty and satisfying. I would definitely return to try more of the sandwiches and recommend paying a visit! I

    This is my absolute most favorite bakery. So this is my ode to the bakery and Dom, who is a gem of…read morean employee there. I've been a customer of almost 10 years and have been obsessed since they first opened their doors at a different location. I literally live an hour away without traffic and even longer with traffic, but I make sure to stop by or send someone else to get it for me at least once a month or more. I love the amazing cakes that are so delicious and unique but on top of that, it is Asian owned, LGBTQ supporting, etc. A lot has changed since their little storefront with no seating. The bakery is now a full on cafe and I'm so happy to see how much they've grown and how successful they are. And while it is glorious, I will say I miss the sweet neighborhood charm and great customer service it used to have. Getting in touch with the bakery through phone or text can be tough and to be honest, sometimes one of the people working there is kind of...very mean. It had me questioning if I should keep coming back. I just love this bakery so much though and being raised by parents that had a small food business, I can't help but want to support. I had a particularly difficult last minute request for the bakery a few weeks ago and I was reminded why this place is so great. It had been YEARS since I made this specific request, which was an order for a slice of cake for every flavor and a cupcake for every flavor. This is a BIG and time consuming request, especially if it's last minute. Unfortunately I come to the city whenever the traffic isn't atrocious, so it's always last minute. Dom absolutely pulled through though. Even though there were other employees there (I saw two others but one disappeared and then another male was kind of walking around the cafe and such), Dom took this giant request and fulfilled it himself. The other gentleman (not the mean person previously mentioned) was actually who I made the request to, but he told Dom to do it. I was kind of confused why they didn't do it together but idk, maybe the other guy isn't allowed to handle food? Who knows. Regardless, this request obviously took a long time and the line was getting longer; people were getting a little restless but Dom stayed calm but was swift. I swear he was moving faster than most people in the industry could with a cake knife like that. He was not impatient or rude to me at all. He was just there to do his job as fast and well as possible. It's so rare to see that type of work ethic. He is also so obviously proud of the bakery and the food they serve which makes you feel good about being a patron there. So although I continue to have an unpleasant experience with one particular employee there, Dom keeps my love for this bakery alive. He reminds me of what this bakery was like when they first opened their doors. I hope Dom is cherished there and I bet he is considering his work ethic. I will continue to support this bakery and I recommend everyone else to support as well. It may not be that small little shop anymore but Dom is a reminder of the heart of the place.

For my graduation cake, I chose the tres leches and it was so creamy, moist, and delicious. I basically ate half of the cake by myself lol. This most recent time, I needed a snack and wanted something sweet. Everything here looks amazing and I'm sure tastes amazing too, so it's hard to choose. I chose to get the berry chantilly cake slice since it was a hot day, and it was the perfect refreshing treat! It was soooo good.
