    Moonwalker Breakfast Sandwich Catalpa Grove Farm Sausage, Fried Egg, Tillamook Cheddar,  Garlic or Spicy Aioli on a Brioche Bun
    Jim D.

    Meh, wasn't impressed. On the high side of prices for mid sandwiches. 2 breakfast sandwiches & a bagel sandwich were damn near $50. Only partook because I was in the area. Aioli elevated thr sandwiches slightly. Doubt I'd return

    Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap
    Natasha A.

    I came here for the Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap because Chicago was abuzz about it. It was a good wrap. It did not have croutons, and if it normally does there is a quality control issue. The chicken was good, there wasn't enough Parmesan cheese for my liking but my partner didn't mind the level of parm. I wanted more dressing too. It was a more traditional romaine lettuce. It was good though, just not my preferred type. I also got the cali Bfast burrito with Soyrizo. It comes with a habanero (probably) sauce. It was good, it had hash browns griddle type so it was crunchy which added a great texture to the burrito. It was more of a burrito than most places which are typically just breakfast wraps. The soyrizo was good. Not much seating, but it's a cozy place. There were kids in there, and they have doughnuts and juice.

    Nutso bout you latte (hazelnut and agave)
    Bri R.

    A new go-to spot for me! I crave the English muffin sandwich. I'm not usually a dark matter coffee fan, but they do it right here! I love their nutso bout you latte (hazelnut and agave) and their banana bread latte. Staff has always been friendly and helpful. There's usually seating either at the tables and chairs or by the windows and parking on the side street. A cozy neighborhood staple!

    English muffin sandwich with sausage
    Teresa H.

    If you have been searching for Chicago's best breakfast sandwich I have great news for you- the search ends here. The english muffin sandwich weighs about a pound, is the perfect mix of hearty and decadent with a beautiful chimichurri to brighten it up and is priced super reasonably at $11.50- my husband and I literally split one it's so massive. The coffee is great too- don't worry that the food steals the show. Aesthetically the cafe is cute with a handful of seats inside and some outdoor seating as well, and the team working seem to know everyone coming in and have a great repertoire. I'll probably be a regular here too soon enough! Incredible. 10/10. I can't rave about this enough.

    Delicious food and drinks!!! Service was attentive and so very kind!! Ambiance is casual and laid back. More to pick up and head out. We look forward to going back!! Highly recommended.

    Iced coffee

    We came here for a quick bite to eat and for some coffee. We decided to dine in. The owners and the staff here were great. They were very welcoming and made sure we were satisfied. They thanked us for stopping in and had smiles throughout our meal. They have a pretty big menu with plenty of coffee and breakfast & lunch offerings. My wife ordered their Dark Matter drip coffee and I ordered their iced coffee and their "The Brunch" breakfast sandwich. It came with lox in a toasted everything bagel with cream cheese, tomatoes, capers, cucumber salad and lemon vinegar. The sandwich was pretty big with everything ingredient working perfectly together. It came with plenty of lox and it tasted fresh. I would definitely order this again, but I would also like to try a few of their other offerings. I will definitely be returning.

    Chicken sandwich
    Aline L.

    If I could give them 10 stars, I would! Moonwalker is an adorable neighborhood café I often visit. I love that they use top of the line ingredients, have uniquely flavored lattes you don't see anywhere else, have vegan and gluten free options, they change their menu seasonally and even do frequent pop ups. I'm a regular patron so there are many things I can vouch for as EXCELLENT. For the sake of not making this review 10 pages long, I will focus on my two current faves. 1) The grilled chicken sandwich is exceptional, and my picture says it all! Every single bite is perfection. Each ingredient shines through, especially the in-house garlic aioli. 2) The roasted turkey sandwich is spectacular! Smoked in house and seasoned to perfection, super moist and outstanding each and every time! I don't even have a picture of it, because it always gets inhaled immediately.

It's located opposite of the cash register and menu. Service was friendly. Washroom (restroom, bathroom search terms) available. Decent amount of seating, serving as a solid space to study or get work done. Black Sesame Matcha Latte - while the black sesame graininess settled at the bottom expectedly, the matcha was clearly whisked well. There were no clumps of bitterness to be found. Despite sugar adjustments, this was still very sweet so I'd classify the spot as more desserty rather than strong matcha or a cafe. Though I'm happy to be proven wrong with their regular matcha in the future.

Definitely a place I'd come back to, especially with friends because there are so many things to share and try. Elite tip: come with a group so you can order a bunch and split everything

I wish I was able to travel with one of their cheesecakes but they require refrigeration. Anyhow the cheesecake itself was delicious super light, fluffy, and honestly felt like biting into a cloud. I had the salted egg but they had several flavor options that I would've loved to try if slices were available. The texture is what really stands out, and the flavor was unique and interesting in a good way. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it taste like, but it was sweet, but not too sweet They only sale but I consider a personal size but it's definitely enough to share with two people, maybe even three depending on how much of a sweet tooth you have. My only downside like others is the price. Paying around $19-$20 for a small cheesecake felt a bit steep, especially since they don't offer slices. I really wish they had smaller portions available so you could try different flavors without committing to a full cake prize. They package it very well and they also serve you a cute little fork set and a knife for cutting which I think is contributes to the price. The shop itself is very cute with chic décor and a lot of Asian-inspired artwork, which adds to the overall vibe. Customer service was friendly. When I visit Chicago again I'd definitely go back the texture and taste alone make it worth it but I do hope they consider offering smaller portions in the future.
