This coffee shop is more than just a place to grab a cup of coffee. What I appreciated most is how it embraces and celebrates culture in a way that feels thoughtful and authentic. From the atmosphere to the details, there's a genuine sense of cultural appreciation rather than simply using culture as decoration. It creates a welcoming space where people from different backgrounds can feel comfortable and connected. The coffee is good, but it's the cultural sensitivity, warmth, and sense of community that make the experience memorable. A reminder that a coffee shop can be a small space where different cultures, stories, and people come together. read more

the lavender latte from oud. unreal!!! I am also a big fan of their cold brew. It's a bit pricey but it's my new weekly spot !!

Had an opportunity to meet up with some colleagues at the OUD location in Wicker Park. It was a bigger space than I had anticipated which was a nice surprise since I was meeting a group of people. I got a latte and a plain bagel. I really wish I had gotten some pictures but I was enjoying my drink, food and talking so much that I didn't even think about it until I got home! The only down side is that it takes a fairly long time to get your order. So, be prepared to wait at least 10-15 min. Not a huge deal - just take note. Overall great place. Next I'm going to check out their River North location! read more

Met some friends here for coffee yesterday, I'd never been here before, but my friend lived nearby and recommended it. I can see why, it's a nice place with a wide array of coffees and teas and other specialty drinks, along with lots of dessert options and sandwiches. I tried a turkish coffee for the first time. In case you don't know it's very dark and comes in a small 8oz cup. It was fine, I'm glad I tried it, it was something different. It just takes a bit long to prepare just FYI, over a stove from what I understand. We also split some small dessert items, the one I tried had hazelnut chocolate filling and was real good. Things are a little pricier, but it's also higher quality products, several you don't see at most cafes. Has indoor and outdoor seating. Easy to park either on Division, or one of the side streets. Lots of people were there either reading or hanging out. Glad I got to check it out, I'll definitely keep it in mind if I'm in the area again. read more

What a neat cafe! This space meets all the requirements of a spot that I'd go to enjoy a coffee and some sweets. The menu is quite expansive, with a surprisingly large number of seasonal drinks, sweets are huge and cover everything from braids to breads to croissants, brownies, scones, and more! All the different flavors are covered from chocolate to pistachio to tiramisu, to fruits. Similarly on the menu everything from sandwiches to salads are covered for food -- and everything from lattes to matchas to smoothies to lemonade are covered for drinks! The sheer number of options alone makes this a fantastic spot to take friends, as all the different food and drink needs can be met by the same spot. Also important is how nice this spot is decorated. The look is very clean and modern, yet there are just enough paintings, foliage, and other decor items matched with premium looking seating to give visitors an upscale cafe feeling -- with fast and friendly service, but without high prices. Overall worth a visit if you're a cafe lover, or something looking to try to Palestinian food and drink options, on top of a full menu of all your favorites. read more

Oudddddd nooooo... Oud has been popping all over. I mean ALL OVER social media and I needed to give it a try. They had open a second location in Wicker Park and finally I was nearby enough to check it out. It was the day of my daughter's birthday party in Ukrainian Village so it was literally nearby. I've never been here before and want to try a specialty drink. I asked the barista what is your speciality drink, she looked at me dumbfounded so I had to rephrase what you are known for/popular drink. She recommend the Oud Latte. However to me the mint was way too powerful where it didn't work. My sister has been here before with the downtown location & she said it was so much better so than the wicker park one. read more

Happy they opened a new location in wicker park! Great menu options and good drinks. The karak tea is decent and the sandwiches are really good. I was genuinely impressed by the caprese sandwich I tried last time. The snacks here are great as well, I like getting the knafeh roll or the manakeesh. read more

Afternoon cortados! Pumpkin muffins! A welcoming, safe space! Needed an afternoon pick me up and Oud served as savior! A quick pop gifted my friends and I a quiet, homey space to recaffeinate before an evening of debauchery. The cortado and latte were great. The pumpkin muffin was rich, not too sweet, and the texture was awesome. The workers were awesome. Super polite, and prepared drinks with precision and care. Top tier coffee and spot! read more

Fellow staff decided to go here. They said it's a new place so we all piled in. Very nice decorations, atmosphere, clean, friendly. The choices were good, I ordered a Pina colada smoothie or something and 5 stars. Definitely order again. I also ordered a kale salad. Great ingredients. Needed a little more cheese or something. But overall 4 stars. Other people also loved the food and drinks. In fact, they came again. read more

A fun and unique menu for coffee, tea, and food. Online ordering was a breeze. Wonderfully decorated and inviting space.

Was looking for a study spot. There's some free street parking in the local neighborhood roads off of the main road so we were able to stay and study for the afternoon. Lots of seating and I especially liked the booth seats in the back. Service was fast and they were helpful in explaining what each specialty drink or dessert had. There's also a big selection of savory foods. We tried their rose latte, "The Nas" mint latte", Karak tea and pistachio lazy cake. I've had their Oud latte before and the cardamom was too strong for me as they crush whole fresh cardamom pods in, so I wanted to try something more basic this time. The rose latte was a regular latte with rose syrup. It wasn't too sweet but not a lot of rose flavor either. The mint latte was surprisingly good. It was like a regular latte with crushed fresh mint. I'm usually not a fan of mint chocolate but this just had mint flavor without the cooling feeling so I didn't mind it. The karak tea was on the sweet side. Very creamy but definitely sweetened, makes for a nice dessert drink. I loved the pistachio lazy cake before so I ordered it again. Love the soft, creamy texture. It's not too sweet and pairs well with a latte. read more

This strawberry matcha has been good. The line is a bit long and a bit understaffed so it moves slow but I think it is worth it. The matcha color was good and there were strawberry chunks so you know it is actual strawberry. It had good flavor and the colors are good. This is a cute place to meet a friend, go on a date, or study. read more

Got a pistachio latte, a za'atar and cheese marakeesh, and a quiche. There was quite a long line on a Saturday morning, but it didn't take too long! There's a bunch of tables, but people are pretty staked out working there. Beautiful art on the walls and the pastries look amazing ! read more

I went in for a matcha and ordered a mango matcha (not on the menu, but they can make it), and was blown away by how flavorful the green tea and mango were without being overly sweet. The staff are very kind, and the space is immaculately clean, well-lit, and the decorations are lovely. Highly recommend Oud Coffee & Cafe and I will definitely be back! read more

Excited for a second Oud location! Stopped by in the early morning and was greeted to a brand new, nicely decorated cafe with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options. This location seems to have the same drink menu as river north. Service was fast and my drink, iced oud latte, was delicious. Seems to be a great option for anyone wanting to work or study remotely. read more

Better than nearby coffee shops. Strong cardamom taste ( in a good way). Overall, the vibes are a little sterile.

Absolutely delicious! Pretty pricey but it's worth it. I tried the cookie butter latte and the white mocha pistachio latte. Soooo good and I appreciate the option to make it less sweet read more

This was the first time I went here. My niece told me to come here because she loves this place. I love the decor!However, I ordered a masala chai and I saw the girl making it and it was definitely from a ready made cart. It was too much sugar and very artificial read more

Oud has been my go-to neighborhood coffee spot since they first opened, and I honestly haven't had a single bad experience. The staff is consistently friendly and welcoming--shoutout to Vanessa, Yamna, Greta, and Anna, who always make the place feel warm and inviting. The coffee is excellent and reliably a step above what you'd expect, and the pastries (plus the few food items I've tried) have all been outstanding. I haven't met the owner yet, but the way the café is run really says a lot about the care and attention behind the scenes. It's clear there's pride in both the product and the customer experience. Keep up the great work--this place is a gem! read more

Overrated.. banana bread latte tasted more like cinnamon latte. Watered down coffee terrible service understaffed and slow

I enjoy coming to Oud, but one area that really needs improvement is the staff's attitude. Unfortunately, the employees often come across as unfriendly and unwelcoming, which takes away from the overall experience. read more

This spot was AMAZING. I got a sandwich and a salad and split it with my boyfriend, 11/10. I loved the ambiance as well, it was so nice to be in community with like minded people. It's super clean, quiet but not too quiet, and had super nice staff. Delicious and absolutely well organized. Thank you for making me feel so at home in a new place. read more

Food is fine and specialty lattes are good but can't get over the employees attitude. I live down the street so would like to come often but every time they have this gothic emo hate their lives vibe. Very blank emotion, no thank you or even ask what you want you just have to start providing your order. they give your food order by number but don't give you the number? There's plenty of better cafes in wicker won't be returning read more
