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 stopped by Oromo one afternoon for a quick pick-me-up. The woman working the register was so…read moresweet and welcoming. 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. It's made with housemade hazelnut milk, cold brew, cacao, frozen bananas, housemade coconut caramel, maple syrup, vanilla, and seasalt. Trust me-- it is just as heavenly as it sounds! 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!

I wanted to love Oromo Cafe. I popped in for lunch during a visit to Lincoln Square, primarily…read morebecause the menu sounded fabulous - so many plant based options, including house-made milks. 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.

We…read morewanted to chill and relax at a cute cafe, and even though this place had a lot of seating, all of them were pretty much occupied by people who were working/studying. It was quite difficult to find open seats. A few customers ahead of us decided not to stay and order because of this issue. The drinks were decent, although they took a while to come out. There was only two people working and there was already a line of customers ahead of us which was understandable. However, they forgot one of our drinks which was frustrating as this resulted in an even longer wait time. The place was cute and artistic but a bit too overwhelming for me, so it wasn't as enjoyable as I hoped it would be.

Giving them a 4/5 because I've had some misses when it comes to food and drink. The tulsi tonic tasted like medicine and I would not recommend.

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.
