Right up my alley. I got an almond croissant and a hot chocolate. The croissant came out warm, crispy on the outside, soft and flaky inside. The almonds made it even better, adding a crunch and nutty flavor in every bite. It's the small details that just makes the whole thing different. The hot chocolate was rich, creamy and it had an after taste that I couldn't figure out but it matched perfectly with the croissant. The guys working there (pretty sure they were the owners) were super friendly and easygoing. Only thing is, they take their time with the drinks but you can tell it's because they actually care about what they're making. Totally worth the wait. Perfect spot to slow down and start your morning.

It's a funky shop, with lots of seating (in and outdoors). A wide selection of coffees and bites. The ambiance feels like a trendy city coffee shop, which is great to have for us suburbanites! We like trendy and cool things, too! :) Our service and coffee were served and with smiles. I enjoyed this shop and my coffee.

The service is friendly, the space is a lot bigger than expected, and the drinks are actually very nice. I came there without having tried their drinks, but I was genuinely surprised at how a supposed coffee shop made cocktail drinks. The only true negative I have of this place is that when I went they had forgotten to place my friend's order completely. I would've justified it if they were packed, but it was generally empty, and people who came in after us had already received their orders. Throughout the week, they also feature board game nights and mahjong, so I definitely recommend checking out their events! Overall, I would definitely come again, and I hope to explore their food menu as well!

This place is great! I got a jibarito steak sandwich and my bf got a Cubano. Both sandwiches were…read moreso clean tasting. The jibarito was nice and crunchy and the steak was seasoned just right. The Cubano was great! Im always afraid to order it because ive had one taste like too much pork. This one did not taste too porky at all. To drink, we had a passion fruit juice and a watermelon juice. They were both so fresh! The passion fruit juice was just as sweet as you thought it would be. The staff was so friendly and they make sure you have what you need to enjoy your food.

I think that the term "hidden gem" is often over used. However, there are still some places where…read morethe term definitely applies. Dulce Cafe Cubano is most certainly one of them. This is a small sandwich shop on Chicago's southside making some amazing food. First, the food I excellent. I tried the jibarito, medianoche (similar to a cubano, but with an egg) and the tripleta. I liked all them, but my favorite was the tripleta. I loved that all of the flavors of the meats seemed to work together. Also do not skip out on their pastries and drinks. I especially recommend the frappe. Second their food is a great value. I believe that none of their sandwiches are more than $11, with many of their less than $10, and I think, most of, if not all, of their drinks are less than $5. You get a good bang for your buck here. Third, the staff is friendly and service is fast. You order at a window and wait for your food to be ready. I felt that my food was ready super fast and it was very fresh. In sum, this is a must visit hidden gem.

Though usually one for a hot coffee, it was steamy hot out so I went for an iced vanilla latte with oat milk and was wildly impressed. I was going to sit for a bit so had the latte for there and it was icy cold and the vanilla flavoring was brilliantly paired to the really good espresso notes within the latte. I also went for a Financier, which is a gluten-free banana bread sort of loaf and this was downright silly how good it was. It had a rich banana and sort of caramel flavor to it and as a gluten-free pastry option was one of the finest that I have had. Love that the coffee shop had just about every seat full with people doing work, studying, reading and catching up and the spot was a true neighborhood gem sort of location. Awesome spot!

The Pistachio Mocha (8.5/10) had a great mocha flavor and the espresso strength was perfect. Not too strong or too light. Loved this one. The Lavender Sea Salt Latte (8/10) had a nice lavender flavor, and I liked that I could actually taste the espresso without it being overpowering. The Bacon, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Sandwich (7/10) is only available Saturday and Sunday. The egg was soft, the bacon was crispy, and the brioche bun was nice and soft. The mayo-based sauce was flavorful, but there was almost a little too much for me. I liked how the sandwich wasn't dry though.

I had to stop myself from eating all of it so I can bring some home to my boyfriend. I cannot wait to come back, which will be very soon! FYI, when you walk in, you might not notice there is a staircase to the left near the bathroom. I think there must be a cute seating area up there, don't miss it!

If you're looking for Puerto Rican food and in the area, it's a decent spot which is why it gets 4 stars. The Jibaritos were tasty and so was the arroz con gandules!

The servers are kind and bring the food quickly.

Their conversation was more important than helping their customers. Eventually they engaged, but they never stopped talking. Talking and being loud and commenting on how nasty the items are in the case. If the items are nasty in the case, you should not be selling them to customers! And they are turning customers away suggesting other places in the airport. This place needs a manager to train their employees. Personal conversations are fine, but when a customer comes up, the personal conversations needs to stop while the customer is waiting in the area. And when there are no customers there are potential customers waiting on their plane, cussing is inappropriate at all times. Complaining and constant cussing coming from this business, stay away!
