    kunefe, turkish coffee
    Sam L.

    I saw the signs up for this place a while before it opened and was looking to try it out. To start, the inside is beautiful, amazing wood tones and light plant themed decor. A lovely place to work or hang out with friends. The staff are very friendly as well. I ordered the kunefe with a turkish coffee. Very delicious! Certainly hit the spot. The kunefe was a teensy bit less crispy than what I expected, but still very very good. I definitely hope to come back!

    Spanish latte
    Nawal N.

    Food was good drinks were also really good. We got the honey cinnamon latte, Spanish latte, and the strawberry iced matcha. I think their coffee drinks are better than their matchas but overall it's not bad. Place is super cute and the service is really quick.

    Mango Hibiscus Iced Tea

    Loved the Kurdish coffee! Nicely decorated, spacious, and friendly environment. Friendly staff.

    I loved their strawberry lemonade because it had real strawberry's in it which made it taste so sweet.

    Chicken cesear salad wrap

    The vibes are amazing and it looks super modern. I ordered a tiramisu latte with oatmilk and a chicken casear wrap. The tiramisu latte was $9! Which is kind of insane. The chicken casear wrap had a lot of dressing which I liked, but the chicken itself was super dry, almost jerky like. The staff was not super friendly or kind either, they were just okay. Overall, the vibes are super nice but I don't think I would go again.

    Breakfast Sandwich and Pistachio Latte

    This has become my go to cafe, I have already visited twice in one week. Aside from the gorgeous interior, the food and drinks are delicious! Chef Tareq was super friendly and cooked everything to perfection. Definitely recommend coming here, 10/10.

    I live right down the street from this place, decided to try it out. Service is quick and they're very friendly, complimentary water is also available. Love the vibe, The Matcha was delicious and so was the pastry we ordered, it was chocolate filled. The shakshuka was also delicious but for the portion, it should have been at most $9 and not $13. That's the only thing I will ding them for! Hope to be back soon to try some more things off their menu!!

    Shakshuka Plate and Omelette

    My husband and I had a lovely Saturday brunch at Nubar Cafe! First, the place is just so well decorated. You can tell that thought went into all the details like the fringe curtain leading to the back area and art. It's a great vibe for date or catching up with friends. The only slight issue is that the tables are a bit close together, but that wasn't a big concern. It's the kind of cafe where you order upfront and then you get a buzzer. The food came super fast too! I ordered the Shakshuka Plate and my husband got an omelette. Both were well seasoned and came with this delicious, crusty bread. While the mains were filling, we made room for dessert. We had the Pistachio Knafeh and Honey Cake. They are two of my favorite desserts in general and Nubar did a great job.

    I ordered a flat white, and it was very good. It's very spacious inside with a lot of natural light. Great place to hang out or work/read.

    Cozy and huge coffee shop! They have my beloved oat milk for lattes. And tons of donuts, cakes,…read morecroissants, cheesecakes and also custard and pies! And cookies and danishes and muffins. Oh my! The pies kind of look like homemade individual sized pizza pockets with either spinach, chicken, veggie or zatar. They're on the bottom shelf in the picture. All kinds of pastries from savory to sweet. I was eyeing the chicken pie for a future visit during lunchtime. If you want to work on your laptop, the free WIFI is good and there are charge cord plugs all along the wall. I like how spacious and bright it is inside, not to mention the high ceilings. When I get cabin fever it's nice to "escape" to a clean and friendly location like this.

There's seating for probably 50 people, if not more, and it's open till midnight most days. This is the perfect 'third space' for anyone looking to catch up with friends or looking for a new work/study area. I loved the iced mufawar because it's a perfect blend of spices like cardamon and it gives me a caffeine high. There's an assortment of sweets and a few savory items like croissants. A shared parking lot in front is a major plus, but it's also steps away from the Brown Line making it super convenient. Definitely a great place to get some work done.

City skyline has a ton of aviation-related memorabilia, including bona-fide airplane seats and a bulkhead, complete with overhead compartments. I was even temped to buckle my seatbelt for the completeness of the experience, but felt that if there was 'turbulence' this was perhaps the only case where I *wouldn't* want my seatbelt fastened. Together with the aforementioned, the vibe is comfy, and not a bad spot to spend an hour or two. The latte I ordered was good. It wasn't overly sweet, and had great flavor. A latte lover would likely get more enjoyment out of it, compared to someone like me, who like their coffee industrial strength with the bitterness to go with it. The prices are fair - not the cheapest ever, but without the gut punch of competitors. The service is great. It is polite and fast. Point also for being mindful of a person experiencing a mental health condition outside, and locking the door that they do not create a severe disruption. Final verdict: The coffee is very good, but the cozy, aviation vibe is the real selling point! Would recommend?: Yes, especially to av-geeks. Would return?: Yes, especially when I get the itch to simulate flying somewhere, only without delays, TSA, or any of the discombobulation related to airports and flying.

    This coffee shop has an airplane theme. The backroom had a cool wall art display with paper planes…read more I tried the horchata latte because that was the drink they were promoting that day. It was way too sweet. They added syrup even though the horchata is already supposed to be sweet. Unfortunately I couldn't finish my latte because it was too sweet and I ended up throwing it out.

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!

That brownie I had was delicious and actually satisfying for a sweet tooth like me! The rose latte was enjoyable and once again, they had gluten-free bread to offer for the sandwiches/paninis. Not only that, they are actually a dollar less than the regular one because they say it's smaller. Less - you read that right. Anywhere else they up-charge for the gluten-free version, even if it's just frozen Udi's. It wasn't so here! Note: their savory stuffed pastries like the spinach ones and potato ones aren't gluten-free because they're brought in by another vendor.
