    Honey cinnamon latte
    Anna G.

    Smaller space (no real seating) than the original, but same great menu and service. My latte was perfect as was the breakfast sandwich. The space is bright and cozy. Glad to have this closer to me in the neighborhood :)

    Checked out a new spot for breakfast this morning. We ordered the specialty vanilla latte and the brown sugar cardamom latte and they both were well made without being too sweet. We also ordered the bagel sandwich and a sea salt chocolate chip cookie and really enjoyed both. This place is new but so far it's very impressive with the menu and quality of food/drinks. Hope to be back soon!

    Good coffee and drinks, even if they're on the pricier side. The food has almost always been a disappointment. The breakfast sandwich is unsatisfying, especially for the price. Tried a turkey sandwich which wasn't bad, but not much to mess up there. Last straw was their scallion scone which was nothing but a fat ball of raw dough on the inside. Can't go back... which sucks.

    Haven't been here in years (2018?). Still a great hang with couches for catching up with friends…read moreand socializing. Staff was friendly and it's always a nice little luxury to get a coffee not made from home in this economy! I had the vanilla bean latte, half sweet, oat milk And my friend had the koopa troopa, half sweet, oat milk They've had the same menu a long time so it's tried and true and then their seasonal offerings as well! Love this place. Bit of nostalgia for a different time. I remember the cereal bar. Now that I've made myself sound about a million years old it's time to sign off! Go catch up with friends here

The decor is classic and cozy, and the coffee is genuinely excellent. I also love doing work here with their community tables. I usually don't like my lattes too sweet, but they nail the balance and flavor combinations every time. It is a bit sweet overall, but I'm not bothered by it? They really balance the flavor combinations really well, especially with the ghostly trio! Despite how busy it gets, the service is surprisingly quick, and somehow every drink still comes out consistently great. I honestly don't know how they manage it.

    I had a really good experience at 3 Arts. I wasn't able to get a reservation for Sunday brunch, so…read morewe made sure to arrive before opening. There was already a small line of guests with the same idea, but we were able to get on the waitlist. While waiting, we checked out the small coffee shop inside the gallery and browsed the furniture, which helped pass the time. Our wait was about an hour before being escorted to our table in the courtyard. Initially, we were placed at a low coffee table with couch seating. It's a cool lounge style setup, especially for drinks, but not ideal for a meal. It would have been pretty awkward trying to eat comfortably. We asked to be moved and were told that table preferences should be requested when joining the waitlist. Since it was my first time visiting, I wasn't aware of that, and it also wasn't asked by the hostess. Thankfully, they were able to accommodate us and moved us to a table in the wine cellar. The wine cellar had a completely different vibe, dark and moody, compared to the bright, airy courtyard with its beautiful glass ceiling and natural light. We ordered the lobster roll and the RH Burger, both with fries. The food came out fairly quickly and was well-presented. The lobster roll was served on a buttery brioche with just the right amount of seasoning, and the burger was juicy and flavorful. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely visit again.

    Definitely make reservations here! This place is a…read morerestoration hardware store return to restaurant which is super cool. I'm not from Chicago so this was a really cute spot to be in, definitely IG worthy. They have a limited menu. I got the Caesar salad salad with some sweet potato fries. And my friend got the Chinese chicken salad. I think I got a basic menu so it wasn't amazing but it was good. I just came here for the views honestly, I saw it on TikTok so I wanted to come here since I'm from Houston. Upstairs, they have all of the furniture that you can buy and cute views as well. Definitely make a reservation.

    What a neat cafe! This space meets all the requirements of a spot that I'd go to enjoy a coffee and…read moresome 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.

    Oudddddd nooooo…read more.. 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.

    What a place. This is so much more than just a coffee house. Tons of options, great ambience, and…read moregenuinely kind people. We started with a mocha, a solid, well-balanced drink that wasn't overly sweet and was just perfect. We didn't plan on eating here, but the menu was way too tempting. We ordered the cinnamon roll, and wow. This was insanely good. Most cinnamon rolls in the U.S. feel like sugar-heavy, cinnamon-flavored buns, but this one was light, flavorful, and beautifully made. The irimshik on top really elevated it, subtle, warm, and just sweet enough. Easy 10/10. Next was the cottage cheese pancake, which was also very good. It had a generous amount of cottage cheese stuffed inside, and paired with the sweet irimshik dip, the dish came together really well. 9/10. We then tried the qattama. It was good. flaky, crispy, and reminded me of a paratha. It came with a sour irimshik dip. While each component was good, I felt the qattama would shine more with a gravy-based dish. 7/10. Finally, we ordered the Nan Salma pasta. It's a tarry-based white sauce pasta with a unique flavor profile, and it was genuinely yum. Definitely something different and worth trying. Highly recommend it. 8/10. You have space to sit down and work as well. Service was good too. Some of the dishes might take 7-10mins to get prepared. It's not like your daily coffee shop who have stuff ready to go Overall, a great spot with unique food and a welcoming vibe. Definitely coming back. 9/10
