Fantastic sandwiches, just a bit pricey for lunch! Great little place that knows how to do it right.

Truly great sandwiches. Very very tasty. But get it to-go. Unless you want to be surrounded by strollers. And the quasi-french decor and sort of a ultra-polite atmosphere is also a bit odd. The salads are awesome too, very fresh ingredients and not overdressed at all. Also a nice selection of chips & sodas. read more

Great place to grab a sandwich or a Julius Meinel coffee. The adult grilled cheese was very solid and I had a create your own boar's head sandwich on a fresh pretzel roll with fresh mozzarella. If you are in the area, stop by. read more

Very intimate and cute cafe! I went with a group of 7friends to try out this cafe and we ordered sandwiches, paninis, and salads. Although this place will be a little crowded/tight for big groups...Everything looked and tasted great! I loved my aloha latte. The owner noticed us chatting for a while after having lunch and she offered us a free plate of yummy pastries! Will definitely go back if I want a comfortable place to sit down and have a drink with delicious pastries or quick bite! read more

Freaking delicious food (get the Spanish Verde sandwich) & blended/iced drinks (included an interesting almond green tea). It's down the block from my yoga studio, so I'm always coming in & appreciating the spiritual decor & happy staff. Highly recommended! The only request I would make is to offer some vegan options! read more

This little gem has free wifi and great Boar's Head Sandwiches. The Pretzel bun was great and the service pretty fast and super friendly! I will be back to this west loop deli! read more

Love the breakfast burrito at this place. Has a very warm neighborhood feel to it. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love this place! Whenever I am at the Verizon Store on the corner of Throop and Madison, I walk down the way and enjoy a sandwich/coffee. The employees here are so friendly and welcoming each time I visit. Keila has been there for each visit and always has a huge smile on her face! We need more people like Keila in the world! read more

Came in here for a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the option to make any sandwich on gluten free bread and the knowledge of the employees on which items and sides were gluten free friendly! We both ended up getting the Chicken Pesto Panini on gluten free bread with a bag of chips and very much enjoyed our selection! We both saw many items on the menu that we were interested in and can't wait to try them out! Very rare to find a great spot for sandwiches made with gluten free bread. Hoping to come in for brunch soon to test out their menu read more

So I'm only giving this place 2 stars because food is good. Went in to grab a quick sandwich and got there at 235 ish maybe and didn't get my food until 250. When I made a comment about how long it was taking the lady making the sandwiches made a rude comment back. This is not the first time someone has been rude here. Boycotted this place for a long time gave it another try now I'm done. I'm a long time neighborhood person and would love for this to be a go to sandwich place when I work from home. I'll walk further down. Sick of the rude treatment at this place I've tried to be nice every time this time I made a comment. No one should have to wait 15 minutes for a deli sandwich. Like I said food is great too bad the staff is not nice or friendly or efficient! read more

Love this place! Mother and daughter combo have really turned this location around from the previous owners. The ambiance is cute and very comfortable. The Sandwiches are so delicious. If you are in the Roscoe Village area and want a quick/relaxing bite stop here! read more

Never been disappointed with anything I've eaten there. Nice staff, great products and nice vibe. A fantastic lunch place with accommodations for children and adults alike. ** Missing you guys in Roscoe. Good luck in your new spot!! read more

Everything is great, from the drinks to the sandwiches, ice cream, and a play area if you have the kids. Free wifi, lots of tables, open early and even a decent grocery-style store with a few essentials. read more

Just ordered 8 sandwhiches for me and my co-workers. WOW no reason to ever walk into a run of the mill subway or deli. Everything tastes fresh and delicious. By far the best inexpensive gouremt sandwhich I have every had!! read more

This is my favorite place in the neighborhood! Coffee, candy, sandwiches, salads, and great breakfast! I go here once a day and sometimes twice. The owners are so lovely and greet you by name. The food is fresh and the sandwiches and salads are very big! They have wifi so you can also get some work done. And also VERY kid friendly! I love this place so much! read more

WHAT A GREAT ADDITION TO THE WEST LOOP! Thanks for joining our neighborhood! LOVE the menu here, with great breakfast and lunch items, including all Boar's Head meats - what a huge difference! Creative and interesting items www.noheacafe.com I had the most incredible tea today: Roasted Almond Iced Tea This was an incredible find! Each item is carefully, hand made, so it will take a couple of minutes, but don't worry, you can nosh on the outrageous baked good or premium ice creams! WOW, need to start walking more, to make room for their delectables! read more

What a great little corner spot this place turned out to be. They're relative newcomers to the neighborhood, but they've already left a rather fond impression. I work in the west loop and I notice a ton of my coworkers downing Nohea's coffee and grabbing their sandwiches. For me? I'm more a fan of their chips and smoothies, but there really is something here for all audiences. The wait staff is as friendly as it gets, too. If you want good deli food with great service at a reasonable price per portion size, check out Nohea. Unlike other places nearby, they welcome customers to sit and dine and take their time, which is always appreciated for when you don't feel like rushing. Overall a cute, cozy cafe with fine eats. Oh, and also, may I recommend some of their carmel popcorn? It's pretty darn good. read more

Had a great veggie sandwich, the lady next to me even complemented. Free coffee with a check in and the barista give it to me iced. Sweet spot, so close to where I was saying. Awesome all around read more

Love this place...stumbled on it by chance and everyone was very nice. Great selection food wise. Would definitely recommend it.

Nohea to me, can be best described in one word; "fresh". Everything tastes fresh, the sandwiches are flavorful and creative, service is friendly and they offer gluten free bread which is not necessary, but very thoughtful, in my book. I have a friend with an allergy, and "How about Nohea?", when we are deciding where to eat always brings a smile to her face. Just a great neighborhood place with fresh, delicious food. read more

I love this place. I always get a friendly hello every time I walk in. The cashier Judy is so sweet and if there weren't people in line behind me we could talk all day. My food always comes out fast and is delicious every time. But geez I feel bad for the cashier because I've seen the snooty people that come into that place and they are not easy to deal with. I guess it's just the neighborhood. Yuppies. I looked at some of the bad reviews and they're probably those yuppie customers that give that nice girl such a hard time, or they just have a stick up their butt :). But to each their own I guess. Whatever. Nohea cafe gets five stars from me. It's my go-to cafe. Thanks for that Judy and Shirley! read more

I love this little gem in the West Loop. It's a perfect spot to grab a coffee or a salad! Everything is freshly made to order, and super delicious! They also have some really cute and festive cookies, and chocolates that are a perfect little gift for a friend- birthday, holiday, just because! My favorite thing on the menu, that I consistently order is the Southwest salad (although I sub grilled chicken instead of the standard smoked turkey.) It's my favorite salad in the city right now. Also a great spot to go to if you need to pull out your laptop/ipad and get some work done. It's a nice alternative to sitting at a Starbucks, and has a great neighborhood atmosphere. I'm a return customer! read more

First time here. I got the Greek salad minus the chicken breast (I'm just not a huge chicken breast fan). The salad is excellent, but I do think the prices are a bit high. $8.50 plus tip and tax for a salad I can eat in one sitting. Maybe it's because I didn't get the chicken? Still, since it was really good, I would come back if I'm in the area and I would recommend it to others as well. read more

This is a really nice spot for breakfast and deli sandwiches. Cafe has a pretty decent size seating area both inside and out. I would recommend the All American breakfast sandwich. They also have some very tasty pastries - def a nice breakfast spot. read more

The sandwiches here are great and the staff is very friendly. My only complaint is they are really skimpy with the meat on the sandwiches. For example, the corned beef sandwich has maybe 3 pieces of corned beef, a tablespoon of coleslaw and two pickles. You don't even get a taste of all 3 ingredients in each bite. For $10 I expect more. read more

Nohea Cafe is a complete breathe of fresh air on a street known for its relaxing atmosphere and great food... W. Roscoe is full of places to dine but I haven't had a better sandwich or friendlier service anywhere else! Michelle and Shirley are like friends you never knew you had and you can't beat their chicken salad on wheat (it's to die for)... where else can you find ice cream on Roscoe!? Nohea Cafe has everything, including amazing artwork on display and great music... My new favorite spot in Roscoe Village! read more

My office is over on Belmont and Wolcott and walked my dog down Roscoe, since it was a nice day. I was referred to check out Nohea although I knew of it, but have not checked it out. The food and service was great. Learned that it was a family owned business, even better! I would recommend the Cuban..I believe it is under another name...either way it was delicious. Remind me of a place in Vail Village. read more

Nohea Cafe is a wonderful little cafe nestled in the heart of Roscoe Village. The sandwiches are great and the ambiance is very comfortable. It's a nice place for lunch alone, with friends or a company or neighborhood meeting. It is kid friendly with many offerings for adults and children alike. read more

This place is great! They have wonderful specials and are super nice. We love getting Nohea for lunch at work. Even if you brought your lunch when someone says were getting Nohea you find an extra $10. Its not cheap but they use boar's head meat and they best ingredients in their yummy sandwiches! They have an assortment of cheeses and yogurts to take home and they sell the meat they use. I have never eaten at the cafe-it is occasionally full of really loud kids-typical Roscoe Village daytime-but it seems cute and cozy. read more

We recently had a bridal shower here. Top notch sandwiches (favorite was twisted ham on a pretzel roll), sweet potato chips, and drinks (pearalicious =). These all made the day so pleasant for the guests and the bride to be. But, the best part was the service. Shirley (along with her husband and daughter) took care of all of us. We requested red velvet doughnuts - they got them. We repeatedly asked to lower and raise the volume due to games and such - they did it with a smile. Thank you, Shirley and family for saving us that day! We couldn't have done it without you =) read more

I go to Nohea quite a bit for coffee and meals and it has always been great. Recently I had them cater a luncheon I had and it was delicious. The sandwiches were great and there was a great mix of them, all of them held up well throughout lunch. I highly recommend. Erin read more

The owner is sweet and lovely. The selection is fantastic (includes sandwiches, bakery goods, candies and chocolates, good drinks, etc.). The prices are not at all ridiculous given the good quality of the food. Really nice place to study/work or just eat! read more

I live down the street from Nohea Cafe. Everyone around has been waiting for a cafe to open around us. Nohea has some really great sandwiches for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The coffee is really great and the owners seem very friendly, but very much seem like they are really busy training and handling the staff. I would say the atmosphere is definitely not relaxed and quiet... a lot louder, more like a deli. There is a comfy couch to hang out on. I believe they do catering, so there could be a lot of "hustle" around that side of their business. They frequently have catering packages laid out on customer tables, taking up valuable space that customers could be sitting down in... not a very good idea. Isn't there space in the back you can store your catering? Definitely love having them down the street from my house, as Morgan Street Cafe is a lot further walk. Although I Morgan Street has a more relaxed cafe atmosphere, Nohea has better food. read more

I'm so impressed, it's kind of a hidden jewel in the area. Where do I start, they're a cafe but highly meticulous in what they they stock--boar's head meat, candy=gourmet and some unusual, baked goods huge and fresh, loose leaf teas, and cool and diverse 'health food bars'. The sandwiches are maybe a dollar more than you'd find elsewhere, but after getting one I see why, they're huge and everything is seriously fresh. The wait really isn't that bad, especially when there is so much to look at and shop around on and yes, they even sell adorable jewelry at the back of the store (presumably hand made by locals). read more

Once again: Nohea is Winning. Today I tried the Buffalo chicken wrap, It was DELISH! I had no intentions on eating the entire wrap but I could not stop! hands down it was the best wrap I've ever had. It never "unraveled" it was filling and mmmm mmmm good to the last bite. I am glad I live in the city and can have this at my leisure! read more

Firstly let me assure you that I never take the time to write reviews on any thing....I do read and utilize them often; but have never Payed my dues to the review Gods. Well here is my first attempt to give a little pay back to all of the Reviewers that have help me to make informed choices over the years. What inspired this review is the obvious attempt to sabotage and the destroy the reputation of Nohea Cafe by Bob Q and his posted picture of a lettuce leaf that has alleged dirt covering it'. Bob! it is obvious that what ever the substance is; I believe you referrer to it as: "some sort of dirt like substance covering a bunch of the salad". It is NOT DIRT!...Lettuce picked freshly from the field does not have that amount of dirt on it It is more likely and more reasonable to assume that it is probably a Crushed Black Olive or from the looks of it: It could also be some Crushed Black Beans (You Know.....items that are usually on or near by the salad making station) Really!...Bob Q !.... doesn't the two aforementioned examples of probables seem more likely? Instead of the pictured piece lettuce you posted as proof. The Lettuce Leaf in the picture you posted had enough dirt on it to plant an entire garden ..(Think Man!!..Think!! use your Noodle!) The only reason that I have responded to your posting Bob Q is to rebut and give assurance to readers; that your posting of the lettuce leaf is very prejudicial and not consistent with the efforts in producing a quality product that the folks at Nohea Cafe put forth daily. Bob Q........ I may have been a bit harsh in my opening accusation stating that your goal was to Sabotage and Destroy Nohea's Cafe Reputation and yes at first glance the substance does look like dirt.but I am confident that if had let the initial emotional shock wear off and put on your analytically thinking cap you would have found another plausible reason for the substance being present on the leaf of lettuce. If I didn't know better I'd think you have an Ax to Grind with the folks at Nohea. But I prefer to think that you just did not think this one through. Oh Forgive me!!... Before I !forget The Food is the Best!....... What I like most of all is: The explicit directions and/or instructions I can give to my Sandwich Maker and with our exception. I receive a perfect "Smoked Turkey & Roast Beef Sandwich ( I'm one of those particular sandwich people ....No Mayo On the Meat...... Only on The Bread Please!!....I know Crazy Right?) You Can Believe it or Not: but the Folks at Nohea invented the "Have it Your Way" approach to making a flawless sandwich...so I never have to settle for any thing less than the way l like it!.. ( Hey Watch Where ya putting that Mayo!! :) read more

The most beautiful and delicious BLT I've ever had. How Nohea managed to make this very simple sandwich out of this world yummy I don't know. I can't wait to go back. read more

The owner of the cafe brought lunch to the business I work at as a thank you for our service. Totally unexpected, unbelievably kind, and delicious too! I already loved this cafe for their delicious sandwiches and paninis, but this compelled me to leave them a review. If you're in the west loop you need to try this place! read more

Just amazing!!!!! My first time there and the workers are so nice and friendly! The food is beyond amazing at a reasonable price! It's sad I don't live in this area cause if I did id be going there every day! Keep up the great work! read more

Good food! Just found this place last week and stopped in for a sandwich. Good food selection and the prices are fair. I'm defintely coming back to see what else is on their menu. I think it's a newer place, so i hope they stick around. read more
