    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.

The only reason I do is because my sister likes this place, but every single time they mess up my order, and my orders are as simple as they come. * First visit: I ordered two scoops in a cup (one pistachio and one coconut). I received two scoops of pistachio. * Second visit: I ordered the exact same thing. This time I received two scoops of coconut. * Third visit: I ordered elotes with all the toppings, but they forgot the mayo. * Fourth visit (today): I ordered a mixed soft serve in a cone cup, but I was charged for two soft serves instead. To make matters worse, the employees barely spoke English, making it extremely difficult to resolve the issue. When I asked why my total was about $9 when the sign clearly listed the soft serve at around $3, both employees looked confused. I actually had to ask another customer in line to translate. She explained that one of the employees accidentally charged me twice and said they would refund one of the charges and that I should wait for my receipt. I waited, got my receipt, and it only showed that I had been charged twice, there was no refund. Not once did anyone apologize for the mistake or the inconvenience. Now I have to dispute a $3 charge with my bank because of their error. It's not even about the $3. It's the principle and the inconvenience. Every single visit has had some kind of error, and after giving this location four chances, I can honestly say I do not recommend this location at all. Consistently incorrect orders, billing mistakes, poor communication, and not even a simple apology have made every visit frustrating.

    Came to this locally owned cafe in Ravenswood for a good breakfast. It happens to have healthy…read morefruit options. Paradise Port Cafe may be small but it's big in taste. Has a surprisingly varied menu. There's empanadas at lunch if wanting hot stuff. Because it was breakfast we got some of the smoothies and bowls. It's about $7 for a smoothie which isn't that bad for around here. The one I got was the Kale Colada Smoothie. It's green. This is made with bananas, coconut, kale, pineapple, and spinach. It's about $9 for bowls. We got a couple of these. Best one was the Sunny Bowl. This is made with acerola, apple juice, apples, bananas, and mangos. This is topped with apples, bananas, coconut flakes, granola, honey which I left off, and mangos. Good but it just wasn't enough. It's small portions for the prices. The fruit is fresh though, and at lunch they have empanadas, including a few okay for vegans and vegetarians.

I've tried to come here twice in the past month, and tried to order delivery through DoorDash the third time before work. Everywhere you look, on maps and on delivery websites, it says this place is open. However, all three times I've attempted to order something from here, they have been closed. The lights are off, the doors are locked, and there is a "CLOSED" sign pasted on the door every time. They do not mark anywhere that they are closed until you drive there and see the sign on the door. To me, this is incredibly strange. Having your business on delivery apps and making the driver go all the way there for it to be closed, then causing issues for the customer and causing them to cancel it (did not get my full amount refunded either) is very unprofessional. Their phone line is also disconnected. They must have shut this place down and the owner just didn't bother to take it off of any maps or delivery apps, because when I tried to call it immediately said this person is not available.

    BAMBU on North Broadway completely exceeded my expectations. From the outside it looks casual and…read moreunassuming, but once you step inside, there's a lively, colorful energy that instantly lifts your mood. It's the kind of place that feels welcoming whether you're meeting friends for a relaxed dinner or just stopping in because you're craving something flavorful and different. The menu is what really makes this place stand out. There's a creative mix of Vietnamese-inspired dishes and modern fusion options, and everything tastes intentional. The ingredients are fresh, the herbs are vibrant, and the flavors are layered without feeling heavy. I appreciated how balanced everything was -- nothing overly greasy or overwhelming, just clean, bright flavors that keep you going back for another bite. Even the presentation shows care, which adds to the overall experience. The drink selection is just as impressive. Whether you're in the mood for something refreshing and fruity or a more classic option, they've clearly put thought into crafting beverages that complement the food. It's not just an afterthought -- it's part of the experience. Service was another highlight. The staff were genuinely friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and quick to offer recommendations when I asked. They checked in often enough to make sure everything was perfect but never hovered or rushed us. That balance is rare and really appreciated. Overall, BAMBU delivers more than just a meal -- it delivers a full experience. Great atmosphere, flavorful food, solid drinks, and attentive service. I'll absolutely be back, and I'll be bringing friends next time.

Prices are about $7-10 per drink. I really like #10 Bambu favorite: Coconut milk, pandan jelly, red tapioca, and grass jelly (and then I add coconut meat for an additional $10). My friend loves the pandan waffles and always wants to come here for it when she visits.
