The space is design from their travels in Mexico and looks amazing- see pics. Flowers also on-site We had the elotito - a cappuccino with a distinct presence of elote. Perfectly sweetened with silky smooth frothy milk. You feel all the TLC they put in opening this place. You should check it out this is not just another coffee shop. This is local, distinct and cool. Highly recommended.

Found this place by accident while I was in the area. It's got this cool coffee-brewery setup where…read moreyou can actually see how they make everything and the Russian space theme is a nice touch. Right up my alley. I got an almond croissant and a hot chocolate. The croissant came out warm, crispy on the outside, soft and flaky inside. The almonds made it even better, adding a crunch and nutty flavor in every bite. It's the small details that just makes the whole thing different. The hot chocolate was rich, creamy and it had an after taste that I couldn't figure out but it matched perfectly with the croissant. The guys working there (pretty sure they were the owners) were super friendly and easygoing. Only thing is, they take their time with the drinks but you can tell it's because they actually care about what they're making. Totally worth the wait. Perfect spot to slow down and start your morning.

Came in for some coffee on a morning. The coffee was cold like I like it this time of year. It was…read morecertainly cold brew. I requested sugar and milk. Did the job of waking me up. I read a book while I was enjoying my coffee and when I looked up occasionally you can see a plane fly by because Midway isn't terribly far away.

This place is great! I got a jibarito steak sandwich and my bf got a Cubano. Both sandwiches were…read moreso clean tasting. The jibarito was nice and crunchy and the steak was seasoned just right. The Cubano was great! Im always afraid to order it because ive had one taste like too much pork. This one did not taste too porky at all. To drink, we had a passion fruit juice and a watermelon juice. They were both so fresh! The passion fruit juice was just as sweet as you thought it would be. The staff was so friendly and they make sure you have what you need to enjoy your food.

I think that the term "hidden gem" is often over used. However, there are still some places where…read morethe term definitely applies. Dulce Cafe Cubano is most certainly one of them. This is a small sandwich shop on Chicago's southside making some amazing food. First, the food I excellent. I tried the jibarito, medianoche (similar to a cubano, but with an egg) and the tripleta. I liked all them, but my favorite was the tripleta. I loved that all of the flavors of the meats seemed to work together. Also do not skip out on their pastries and drinks. I especially recommend the frappe. Second their food is a great value. I believe that none of their sandwiches are more than $11, with many of their less than $10, and I think, most of, if not all, of their drinks are less than $5. You get a good bang for your buck here. Third, the staff is friendly and service is fast. You order at a window and wait for your food to be ready. I felt that my food was ready super fast and it was very fresh. In sum, this is a must visit hidden gem.

The shop is very cute and there is outdoor seating. Service is good, sometimes it feels like there's a bit of chaos in terms of who is making what but I've always been treated well by employees. My one complaint would be I wish they weren't card/phone only. Sometimes I just have cash.

Stole a bite and enjoyed that as well. I got a chocolate covered pastel de nata. I wanted so much to like it but it could just not compare to the ones I had in Portugal. I'm sure if I had not been to portugal I would have loved it.

I wasn't sure about the plantains as bread but it was so good, and added such a great texture. The steak was so tender and flavorful. Sometimes, food is so good that you have to share it. I had to stop myself from eating all of it so I can bring some home to my boyfriend. I cannot wait to come back, which will be very soon! FYI, when you walk in, you might not notice there is a staircase to the left near the bathroom. I think there must be a cute seating area up there, don't miss it!

Haven't seen many Puerto Rican restaurants on the south side, and this one is the only one in the…read moreMcKinley Park area. If you're looking for Puerto Rican food and in the area, it's a decent spot which is why it gets 4 stars. The Jibaritos were tasty and so was the arroz con gandules! I think the restaurant is a unique concept: it's a combination of a small Christian book store and a home-like cafe combined with a Puerto Rican restaurant. The menu is small. The servers are kind and bring the food quickly.

Have loved both visits service is helpful and for a small place they're using tablets for their servers and handled a totally custom order without problems! (It probably helped they weren't busy yet.) We hung around for a while on a weekday and though it was getting crowded we weren't rushed to leave. I loved the creative use of dark-stained wooden crates to deal with an extra large window that may have been 'too-open' had it been left like just as a window. (I know, weird thing to notice.) Would absolutely come here or try another of their locations again.

The coffee prep area is in the middle of an overall small room, and it stays pretty loud as they're continuously prepping drinks. There is some seating inside, but it's a bit limited. I got coffee flights the last two times I was there, and I was lucky to get a seat. On my last visit, I was there around 8:30 on a Sunday on a rainy, late summer day. I had wanted to order a flight, but every seat was taken, so I had resigned myself to ordering a single coffee. Luckily, a couple people left, so I was able to secure us a table. I would have been very disappointed if I hadn't been able to order the flight I came there to get! They have amazing flavors, I LOVE that they do flights, and their food has been decent. I only wish it was a little more spacious and quieter.
