    Beautiful Turkish cafe with delicious drinks and pastries. The line can be long but move fast. There's plenty of seating area for casual or work time. The cafe is decored beautifully, modern and stylish.

    Spanish latte
    Wasiba R.

    We spent over $100 on food, pastries, and coffee, and stayed for a couple of hours catching up with family since we hadn't seen each other in a while. Before leaving, we placed one final order for a friend who was delayed due to the police funeral procession, and we waited for her to arrive. Once she got there, she noticed the sandwich she received was not the one that had been ordered. Two of my friends went up to politely explain that the wrong sandwich had been given, but the employee responded by calling my friend a liar. I have never witnessed an employee speak to a customer that way. It was incredibly unprofessional, and unfortunately, we still never received the correct sandwich.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    Qamaria is quite literally tucked away in Albany Park so I was shocked to see the ginormous space…read morewhen I entered. 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.

The lychee chamomile was an interesting combination that turned out quite yummy! The banana milk lattes were VERY banana flavored, but still good! The cashier was very helpful with organizing all of our orders on this cute tray, and offered help with item selection since it was our first time!

    Went solely for their fruit and red bean shaved ice. The ice could've been finer (I had to chew on…read moresome larger shards of ice which wasn't pleasant), but otherwise we enjoyed it, and I was very happy to see that it had all the makings of an old school patbingsoo with both fruit and red bean, as well as mochi and ice cream, which is rare nowadays. It was pricey but enough for 2 people to share. Metered parking on a weekend evening was easy. My only complaint is that it had a strange, unpleasant smell inside (we were there in the evening during the weekend of April 25th). Also, when I came a few years ago, it had a really cozy, welcoming vibe packed with comfy couches. Now, it just looks like basic tables and plastic chairs, lacking comfort, character, and charm. I'm hoping to return to try the sweet potato latte and the other shaved ices, but I hope they do something about the smell and make the space feel more cozy and inviting.

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!

    What a cute concept and I adore the fact that they have vegan, gluten-free, refined sugar-free…read moredesserts that taste so so good! 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.
