    Very cute and clean location on Michigan Ave! Had no idea Nutella Cafe existed so this was a great after dinner treat! We had the hot cocoa which was rich, decadent and delicious! It's really nice because you get a cute Nutella biscuit cookie on top of your drink! We shared the grilled banana bread and a croissant, of course infused with Nutella! Both were delightful! The staff were great and friendly. They were working hard to keep the dining area spotless! It was nice to see! You can get a custom jar of Nutella with your name on it. That's cool! A great gift idea. Duly noted for the future!

    I had to try out the famous Nutella cafe. Since it's the only one in the whole wide world it was like a no brainer. We walked there and it was really empty. We ordered the crepe with bananas. The flavor and taste was just like it's suppose to be Nutella and banana. You first start by choosing your base of crepe, waffle or pancake. And then each topping you add will be an additional cost. For a banana crepe it was about $12. Which is not bad. But compared to genki in San Francisco I feel like with that price it came with ice cream and fruits.

    Super fun and a must-stop if you're a nutella fan!! Walking distance from The Bean and right on the Riverwalk. If anything, go for the hot chocolate (tastes like liquid Nutella its amazing) and the mixed fruits w Nutella as well! It gets a bit busy so keep an eye our for people leaving their tables (theres 2 sections) and grab a seat! It has a very Times Square cafe feel when you're in it. Would definitely go again!

    My friends and I stopped here on a cold December evening as we were walking back to our hotel from Millennium Park. It was nice to be able to warm up for a few minutes. We ordered the Nutella Banana Bread and the Nutella Fruit Bowl along with some hot chocolate. It was all excellent. If you are looking for a little sweet fix at night, this is a great option.

    Very cool cafe! Line could get long, but it does go by pretty quickly. we waited for about 15 minutes before getting seated by the host. We ordered the Nutella Gelato and Liege Waffle. They were super sweet but really delicious. I think this cafe was more for the experience than really trying out the food. The food wasn't anything surprising as they are somewhat simple dishes. Overall, the experience was still very pleasant but I don't see this as a reoccurring cafe to go to when you're in Chicago.

    I wanted to try this place mostly out of curiosity. It definitely felt more like a tourist trap. There was a really long line to get in and order, and the inside was super crowded, and we were lucky to be able to find a seat. Overall, it was alright and nothing particularly exceptional. A lot of the menu felt like things you could make at home with a jar of Nutella and some basic ingredients. We got the Nutella waffle with bananas and blackberries, and it honestly just tasted like a normal waffle with fruit and a drizzle of Nutella. The Nutella hot chocolate was okay too - basically a standard hot chocolate with some Nutella mixed in. The standout for me was the Nutella gelato. It was actually shockingly good. The Nutella flavor was much stronger and more pronounced, and it felt more unique compared to everything else we tried. Might be a cool place if you're from out of town, but I probably wouldn't make a special trip for it.

    In Chicago I knew I had to try the Nutella cafe, we got up super early to go and try it out, the line got long but we were first in line, we first get it staff was nice and let us in, we started ordering. I order a Nutella crepe with strawberries and since it was cold I also got a hot chocolate and let me tell you it was delicious the food was to die for, it was worth the waiting in the cold, the place was super clean and I loved that they brought everything to you and once finished they would pick it up for you as well, it was very calm, I believe if had 2 floors which we didn't get to see but I loved the place and think it's a very cute spot to visit.

    There seems to aaaalways be a line outside, and it always seems like it barely moves. Then you're finally beckoned inside, and there's another line that barely moves. Some of that is because customers sit down and hang out at tables for a while, but some of that seems to be the painstakingly slow ordering mechanism. There's one cashier for taking orders and making the customized Nutella sticker, which requires confirmation of the lettering and printing out the sticker. I didn't have super high expectations for the Nutella crepe, but I was pleasantly surprised. The toppings all incur an additional charge, and we opted for strawberries, Nutella whipped cream, and Nutella gelato. The crepe itself was nicely thin and elastic, quite well cooked. The strawberries were ripe and sweet, and though I wish there were more, the quality was quite nice. The Nutella gelato was super thick and creamy, and it was really a punch of Nutella flavor. The Nutella whipped cream was much lighter in comparison, but still tasted nicely of Nutella that thickened the whipped cream a bit. And of course, the Nutella sauce and drizzle completed the Nutella overload, lending waves of hazelnut and chocolate to every bite. Definitely a decadent treat I'd come back for, though the wait time is a serious deterrent.

    Very cute cafe. The only Nutella cafe in the nation. It's a nice stop for dessert. Definitely a lot of sugar. It's a nice break when walking around in the city. They have two levels of sitting areas. We ordered and staff brought out dishes to the table.

    Where do we start? The line is mismanaged as all hell, you have people waiting for an indeterminate amount of time outside with no update as to when people will be allowed in. They have room inside, but won't let people in over what I'm assuming is an attempt to keep the indoors less crowded. Once you're finally in you realize how much the place is in disarray, more specifically the spacing of things inside. It is obviously gimmicky, in a way that's more disappointing than fun. The menu is super small, Nutella focused of course, but there's not really anything interesting on it. The workers look like they would rather be tortured than working there. Anyways, we ordered the Nutella crepe with strawberries and an Iced Nutella Mocha Latte. Crepe? Sucked. Latte? Sucked more than the crepe. The crepe was doughy to the point it didn't feel properly cooked. Coming from an avid mutella crepe connoisseur, it was disappointing that THE Nutella Cafe flopped in comparison to any other crepe place. The latte was like drinking tar that came out of a pipe a mile away from a Nutella factory. Skip this place, it is so obviously a poor cash grab capitalizing on European tourism to Chicago.

    I was excited to try this place because who doesn't love Nutella? But I dont think they delivered.. walked in and there was no line so when i ordered, the girl taking my ordered moved very slow and didnt really have costumer service skills.. she spoke like she really didn't want to be there. It was really cute inside but also very small with not a lot of seating for a popular touristy location. I ordered a waffle with Nutella and it didnt have much Nutella on it so I asked for extra and Nutella whipped cream. I also ordered an ice Nutella cocoa. The waffle was good but i did feel i over did it on the Nutella. And I also felt like maybe the Nutella wasn't that great of quality, like it was almost watered down in flavor.. the nutella whipped cream was also a let down, not much Nutella in it. Ans the Nutella cocoa was just milk, not a hint of Nutella in the flavor. I also ordered a jar of Nutella with my name, that was honestly so cute and the best thing I got there! Overall, its over hyped.. nothing really special.. save your time and money and enjoy your Nutella at home.

    What a cute little cafe right in dowtown Chicago! We had a fabulous experience there enjoying delicious Nutella topped crepes and Nutella filled biscuits in a super cute Nutella decorated cafe! The food was delicious and the service super friendly! They even gave us a few extra biscuits.

    As a Nutella lover who's been wanting to visit the Nutella Cafe for over two years now - I wanted to love this spot. Instead it's more of a one and done tourist trap to me. After standing in line late on a Monday morning (which I wasn't expecting a long line on a weekday) for over an hour my friends and I finally were ushered inside the cafe (which wasn't even crazy crowded inside so i dont understand the line) only to wait in line yet again for about another 10 minutes before making it to the counter to place our orders. I went with the nutella crepe, topped with nutella gelato as well as the nutella croissant french toast with nutella whipped cream. (so basically dessert for breakfast) We opted to sit outside in the underutilized patio dining area in front of the cafe. There were some mix-ups with our orders when they were coming out but it was quickly rectified. The food was all tasty but nothing worth waiting in line over an hour for. The crepe was good but kinda greasy and the croissant french toast while not bad was definitely an interesting kind of different. All in all - if you love Nutella....you gotta check it out. But temper your expectations and expect a line!

    Hi Briana! Unfortunately, they don't take reservations.

Thick, creamy, smooth and rich. The cinnamon came through warm but not too strong, plus a little extra on top that hit your nose before the first sip. Sweet and it almost had this slight earthy note too... hard to explain but good. It even had that little design on top, like the ones they do on cappuccinos. Didn't expect that but it was cool. I finished it slow. Didn't wanna rush it. Just sat there taking small sips and enjoying it while it was still hot.

They also have a patio, and with the weather being nice, it was easy to just sit outside and relax for a while. I was honestly too hungry to spend much time deciding, so I just ordered one of the sourdough donut ball. It was exactly what I was hoping for. The outside had a light coating of sugar that gave it just the right amount of sweetness without being too much. Once I bit into it, the inside was soft, airy, and slightly chewy from the sourdough, which made it different from a regular donut. There was a subtle tang from the sourdough that balanced the sweetness really well, so it never felt overly sugary. It had a light crispness on the outside, then a warm, pillowy center that practically melted away with each bite. I finished it way faster than I expected. The only thing I forgot was ordering something to drink with it. Looking back, a good coffee would've made it even better. Still, I'd definitely stop by again the next time I'm in the area.

Set in an old warehouse that is now an art gallery event space and restaurant nestled in an older warehouse district in Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago. Beautiful decor and laid out perfectly. The natural wood floors furniture ie tables chairs etc and iron work throughout sets the ambiance for old meets new. It works. The wide spacing between tables makes for a comfortable dining experience. So many folks come in to do their work and dine here. What a super addition to the neighborhood that less than a decade ago was essentially a street that was more a run down semi-truck alley. Great menu with neighborhood favorites leaning toward the old school Italian dishes. Sandwiches, soups, salads, and breakfasts just to name a few are all excellent. The pastries are insane and a must take home deal. I love the American Breakfast. Three eggs your way, thick diced America potatoes, thick cut bacon, and sourdough toast. Accompanied by what I believe to be home made jelly and for sure homemade gardiniera. Caruso's gardiniera actually. Diced into a relish unlike most standard gardiniera it's easier to eat with many dishes. Excellent flavor and just the right kick to it. FYI Dolce Arte also sells a to go line of homemade Caruso products from their gardiniera to past and past sauces and more. Yes, their coffee is really good too. Lavazza products I believe. The service is always on point. Casual but on point. Very friendly staff from diverse backgrounds. This is the place you bring people close to you, business lunches, meetings, formal ir informal, or like me, save it for myself as my own getaway spot. It's an artists dream and sets a positive time for any gathering.

I know it sounded silly, but I enjoyed chewing these coconut flakes and they were good palate cleansers! The presentation was da bomb as well. The only reason that I couldn't give five stars to "Stockyard" was limited seating. The place was super cute, but there were only 3 tables and less than 4 high chair seating against the windows, plus some outdoor seating on the pedestrian walkway. The laptop users were respectfully directed to sit at the windows and outlets were available. The baristas were friendly and knowledgeable. I asked the details of the latte flight and they explained the offerings. I thought there was only one type of latte flights, but I believe the one I selected was very much suited to my preferences. "Stockyard Coffeehouse" is accessible via routes CTA 44 (Racine/Wallace) and CTA 8 (Halsted) busses. It's great to have a reliable indie coffeeshop in the neighborhood like this, so keep up the good work!
