    BEST COFFEE OF MY LIFE
    Miranda C.

    I've found it!!! The best coffee in the world (or at least where I've tried lol) I stopped here on a whim because I was going somewhere nearby and wanted a cup of coffee. This place is tiny but they had a line out the door! Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. I had a breve which is espresso, milk, and sugar - it was amazing!! It tasted like chocolate but I didn't add any. I looked at the bagged coffee and it had notes of chocolate. I bought a bag of beans and brought them home back to Cleveland and I've been drinking it since I came home. Thankfully they sell the beans online so I'll definitely be ordering some.

    Ginger Tumeric Almond Milk Espresso Latte & Mexican Chocolate Espresso Latte.

    THE BEST coffee I had while in Chicago. And definitely going to be my go-to whenever in town! The coffee shop is pretty small so there is very little counter seating by the window. But there is a pretty big outdoor space that has seating. Ginger Turmeric Almond Milk Espresso Latte - Very lightly sweetened and the perfect amount of that ginger burn. I could drink this EVERYDAY. It's perfection. Mexican Chocolate Espresso Latte - The perfect blend of sweetness and slight bitterness. The espresso here is so smooth and delicious. Probably one of the best espresso I've had in the states. (I drink a lot, a lot of coffee) Prices are super reasonable. Service was excellent. Very friendly and helpful.

    This is a very small cafe right next to the Pink line station. You line up at the door inside the train station and you exit through the other door on the other side. The line wasn't too long when I was there. They have a moderate amount of food and drink options. I had 'L' Cubano sandwich which was a big portion for the price. It has real pork and some lunch meat. Quite delicious! The espresso (single shot) with some creamer was ok. It looks like the nice coffee mugs that they've posted here in 2020-2021 are for sale and not used in the store. Seats are limited. The outdoor seating area is not available now during winter. I saw many people take their food to go. Parking looks tricky lol

    One of the reasons why I really love living in Pilsen is because of spots like this. These little independent coffee, shops and sandwich, shops and restaurants are located all over this community. I really hope that it remains this way, and that it is not gentrified to the point where it just looks like everywhere else. This particular café is about four doors down from my house. When I tell you I love this place, I am not exaggerating. Javier who may be the owner...I'm not sure because he is always there...is super friendly and amazing. All of the staff is very helpful and friendly and they all take turns making sure no one is really waiting too long to get their order taken. Even when I am walking my dog and I want to stop for a coffee they are really cool about letting my very tamed pup sit next to me while I wait for my drink. This place is a neighborhood gem with not just coffee but also good sandwiches. On the weekends I'm either here or at another local gem that is one block away getting something to eat. This establishment is actually inside of the CTA station so it's nice and warm if you have to wait outside the door. This place is excellent so often times the line is definitely long but it is worth the wait.

    I've been trying to come here for a while, but it's always packed. This time we showed up right…read morewhen they opened, and yeah... worth it. Still busy, but manageable. I walked in and the incredible smell hit me, all the meats and bread on display, everything looks fresh. The crew behind the counter was top notch, super friendly and on it. Menu has a lot, but for my first time I went with the Italian. Hot capicola, Genoa salami, hard salami, mortadella, provolone, lettuce, tomato, red wine vinegar, oregano. First bite... everything just came together. The meats were layered perfectly, salty, a little spicy from the capicola, super flavorful. The provolone added that creamy, slightly sharp bite. Bread had a nice chew on the outside but soft inside, held everything without falling apart. The vinegar and oregano gave it that tang and freshness that cuts through all the richness. Nothing felt too heavy, just balanced. It's one of those sandwiches you don't wanna put down halfway through. I'll definitely be back to try more.

    It's almost like being around my Italian cousins out on the East Coast…read more.. We were fortunate enough to be having dinner at an Italian restaurant in the same block, and I saw that they were open until midnight. I decided to grab a grinder and a couple of cannoli after dinner to consume the next day for lunch. They utilize a walk-up window for their later hours. I believe I mentioned during ordering that we "do not get grinders like this in Cali" and they were kind enough to let us indoors (surely knowing this weather was nearly "Antarctic penguin cold" for us) while our order was being finished. I saw various jars of giardiniera and muffuletta and could not resist buying a couple. Our store associate kindly wrapped them well in plastic wrap to ensure safe travel back to Cali. Our sandwich maker was a cool guy as well and conversational with us. They even gave us some brief family history on the place. Unfortunately, without my knowledge the wife set us up with an Uber while waiting so we had to dash and run to make our next stop before their closing time. "Foodies are as foodies do"... The FOOD review: CANNOLI w/cherries: -- it appears they use Amarena Bologna cherries which are so much better tasting than the standard maraschino bright red ones. I prefer morello cherries or these when using them in cannoli pie or on Chicago style or ricotta cheesecake. -- cheese tastes of cow's milk ricotta and is well strained so not watery -- lightly sweet is appreciated as it should be...no fake Italian sugar bomb with chocolate sauce and whipped cream like they do in Cali sometimes -- smaller portion size but value is good -- smoother textured than grainy -- shell is light colored and pretty solid -- up to a moderate dusting of powdered sugar on exterior -- appears freshly filled as there is no soggy shell syndrome whatsoever, crunchy and firm (I ate one two days later and it still had a firm shell) -- I have about 8 different cannoli pie recipes I created and make for friends, family and colleagues now and then. I transitioned to pie ages ago because there are so many bad shells and a graham cracker crust is always legit and easy to find. -- IMHO this is a much better and truer cannoli rendition than what you will find at D'Amato's Bakery in Chicago RATING = A "MR. G SPECIALTY GRINDER": -- I briefly considered "The Italian" or asking for a combo of the two but this stood out so I stuck with it -- I requested it "wet" as I hate anything dry (bread, meat etc.) and prefer extra "juice" (red wine vinegar, EVO) -- bread is not thick nor thin but just right with great texture, taste and freshness -- loved all the flavors and additions -- not a moose overloaded grinder but just right for those out of their twenties who do not need "sandie leftovers for days" -- good value here too RATING = A+ They even sell some appealing looking BLOOD ORANGE (and other flavors) sorbet. I definitely recommend them for a super hospitable Italiano experience with great eats. They even made the "Top Sandwich joints" in America list by Food & Wine magazine per associate and a quick Internet search.

    5 stars based on Bahn mi, cha gio and iced coffee I ordered today…read more I must have been part of an early crowd. When I arrived, there was only one other table dining, which made it GREAT for me. It's a decent size hall with 10+ table arrangements, making it pretty great for a group to enjoy their lunch. It also featured a couple of kiosks for ordering, which I thought was a bit easy to miss, since it was tucked away in the left corner when you walked in. It looked like there was also a cashier available to take orders, if you miss the kiosks. I've seen places where they simply do not have anyone at the register to take orders, but that wasn't the case for Lotus. Before deciding to visit them today, I had an impression that their menu choices were very limited compared to other Vietnamese restaurants I was used to. I'm certainly not complaining, since I'm usually a huge fan of select "specialty" approach in restaurants. That's why I decided to order one of their Bahn mi, where I normally would have chosen pho for my first visit. And it didn't disappoint. First off, the size of the sandwich was good. I've had it where they charged a buck or two less, but they weren't big enough to be a full "lunch" portion. Lotus' size, I thought was decent. I had ordered one of their cha gios just in case the sandwich failed to fill me, but I think I would have been okay without it. Cha gio was super good tho! Oh, and the iced V-coffee was good, too. Typically, they'll bring out the coffee before your meal is ready, probably because they're ready-made in the morning and all you'd need to do is pour them over ice. I of course, have known legitimate mom n' pop places, where they'll actually bring out coffee as it's brewing in Phin (stainless steel coffee filter) and a glass of ice with condensed milk, so you can wait for the coffee to finish brewing and pour yourself one, which is what I *always* prefer. Not here, but no big deal. You can usually tell how good the food is going to be by trying their iced coffee. Even though V-coffee isn't known for using "incredible" beans, the balance of the strength of coffee and condensed milk *does* make a big difference in your experience. I felt this place had it correct! I'll definitely come back myself and even bring coworkers or my family to have their Bahn mi again. What I'm not sure about is whether I want to try their pho or bun. First, they don't offer too many variations, so I'm stuck choosing from just a few. (For example, I usually go for "brisket-only" or a combo of brisket and rare steak, but they didn't seem to have those options. Granted, it's possible they'll make it happen if I asked) Secondly, I think they're a couple bucks more expensive than what I would like to pay for a bowl of pho. We'll see.

It is shareable and hearty. The bread is so good. It's crusty and soft on the inside. It allows the right amount of sauce to soak in without being a giant mess.

All good and able to split into 2 meals and they save well. As mentioned, this spot is on repeat for me and haven't disliked anything. The pizza is ok but I wouldn't choose it as my pizza spot. There are better but if you are in a pinch a single slice option is nice. I enjoy the little Tiramisu cup. Perfect size. If you normally scroll by and wonder if you should try Nonna's go ahead. It's a good option.
