If the sold it as a tomato panini with cheese that would have been acceptable. The bacon was thin and not much. The cheese was plenty and the tomato made it tasty. The staff were friendly and kind. The ambiance was different. Small space for ordering and very busy with things to look at. I don't know if I'd go back. But if I do it'll be for a different sandwich. The prices for the coffee looked reasonable. Two sizes I think 16 and 24 and is a nice neighborhood place.

I took a sip of his and loved his more! I spilled his on accident while I was getting out of my car but I loved it so much that I convinced him to go back and get one for him and myself, that's how good it was! It's a little pricey but worth it! The cafe is so cute, spacious and cozy! I wish I lived closer because I'd definitely be there everyday!

My first time coming here to Fantasia Cafe. I saw this on one of my social media pages and wanted…read moreto come and check this place out. They have a variety of options in coffee, specialty latte, frappes, and pastries. I was disappointed that the lavender latte is only served in the spring. I ordered the 16 oz Cookie Butter Latte for $7.00. Quite expensive. It wasn't bad, I just wish the flavor of the latte was more flavorful and more syrup was added. The young lady behind the counter was friendly and patient with me. I was undecided on what to order when I walked inside. I love the little cute flower station by the wall. Build your beauty. You can purchase flower arrangements for a reasonable price and for your self love day.

My partner's cold brew was not very flavorful, but also not the synthetic taste of a prepackaged cold brew - so "just fine". They did have lots of cookies on the menu with fun flavors and a few bagel options. On a Sunday morning, we did have to wait about 20 minutes for our two drinks, despite there not being that long of a line and the place only having a few people in it. Not sure how that wait would change if they got a rush. The ambiance is interesting. I love the paintings on the windows and the mosaic around the outside walls. The neon lights and the giant matcha sticker on the front door didn't fit the vibe at all. It seemed like they were trying to fit a bunch of different aesthetics into one space. Overall, an unobjectionable coffee place in Pilsen! I'm sure with time and some adjustments, they'll be a great space for people in the area.

My favorite two drinks so far are the banana latte and the horchata latte. I'm for sure heading back for their smoothie options. Service was so polite and helpful with the menu on what to recommend for your taste.

My husband and I have visited this coffee shops a handful of times in the last couple of months…read more The place is very clean. There's no seating indoors (or outdoors) which is totally fine during this time! They create a whole ambiance though. There's always incense burning and the art/product hung around the shop is cool. There is a clothing store that shares space with the coffee shop and, even though it's a small shop, there's plenty of space for the clothing displays. It is great to have something to look at while waiting for drinks. Now, to the drinks: I have ordered a matcha and chai lattes on multiple occasion and have enjoyed both. I believed they use almond or oat milk for their lattes (but I honestly can't tell.. they are always very creamy). My husband always orders a regular latte and it is DELICIOUS. They add a bit of cinnamon on top and it just takes the whole experience to the next level. That, and the fact that you walk out smelling of incense!

Melissa let me snoop around her space and she's amassed such a cool collection of stuff that it felt like I could look forever and I conversed with a few coffee lovers and Melissa about topics ranging from why she named the space Everybodys busy, Seinfeld to more serious topics centered around Chicago. It was such a good time and I love that this space exists in a little tucked away corner of Pilsen studio

I was only visiting once and I spent a couple hours here getting some work done. I can tell this is a spot with regulars. There were a few people having conversations with the baristas as they were sitting at the coffee bar. The WiFi worked for me but not my friend. She asked for help but they didn't know why it wouldn't work for her. This place isn't too big but people are in and out. It looks like a coffee shop that's a bit quieter, where people bring their laptops to work, take work Zoom meetings, etc.

The coffee shop had a cute bar to sit and enjoy your coffee and pastries. I ended up getting there around 11am and most of the pastries were sold out but there were a good number of donuts left!

Most of them show genuine interest and experience in coffee, so for those unsure of what to order you can definitely get help in finding something to suite your needs: that being said the quality of the coffee varies wildly, often depending almost entirely on who is behind the bar rather than the ingredients in the drink. I've come and eaten from here multiple times and brought friends for different food truck events, dj sets, etc. their cuisine is all massively overpriced for the neighborhood, the worst example of this being the jalepeno chicken salad sandwich which was chicken salad between two plain pieces of untoasted white bread sold for a staggering 13.99. The empanadas are also serviceable, but a hard sell at 8 dollars a piece;especially when much better empanadas (ones actually from locals rather than a greedy wannabe Michelin star chef) can be found for 3 bucks each down the block. I'd advise against ordering these items but there's a good chance whatever you order is out of stock anyways since management seems to have major issues on the operational front, not to mention the perpetual lack of updates to the online menu. Online responses to reviews will show the back of the yards PR team boasting that their community "deserves nice things too" to justify their pricing, but the disconnect between these prices and those just down the street are not the sign of a business which serves its neighbors. A great alternative for cuisine in the area is Grano Panaderia y Cafe or just down 47th. The vibe inside this place is cold, sterile, and dreary despite the efforts of many of the hardworking employees it is clear the are understaffed, underpaid and overworked. If you attempt to tip, the employees will inform you they aren't allowed to receive tips as a part of their "livable wages" though you'll never see them there more than three times a week. Curious. It doesn't match the lovely decor of the other businesses in the the neighborhood. The establishment proudly wears their back of the yards and Mexican pride yet the owner drives a Tesla. Even more interesting now that they're rolling out "trans joy" drinks driving the car of the country's richest transphobe. Every aspect of this establishment is a performance. The food performs as local upper echelon cafe food despite tasting often average at best, the drinks perform as in-house made despite tasting strikingly similar to Costco brand coffee, and the management perform as paragons of equity despite clear signs of poor business practices. If you support back of the yards as a neighborhood and want some good food and drink during your visit here, there's a half a dozen places within a mile that are worth the walk to. Back of the yards coffee makes lots of bold claims, but falls short across the board. 2/5.

I stayed to work for a bit, and there are lots of tables, the music is pleasant and not too loud, and there were quite a few other people who had the same idea as I did. If I lived closer to here, I would be here a lot more! Workers are friendly and well-informed. Also a nice thing, they are physically connected to a bakery that has plenty of options, including elote pan, tamales and tortas! Will be back to try those and the frappes!
