Everyone is so friendly and eager to serve. I love the variety, the themes and that they are trendy. I also love the French and Korean fusion. Ingredients are premium and the taste is real. Never too sweet and you're tasting the flavors you are supposed to taste. My first experience was in China Town, but I have certainly enjoyed other locations as well.

Buying our birthday cakes here has been a go to tradition for our family for a long time. Unfortunately, my most recent purchase was a huge letdown. I got the Matcha Strawberry Cake on the day of the celebration, but the cake base was completely wet, soggy, and mushy right where it met the cream and strawberry filling. Instead of the light, airy matcha sponge we normally look forward to, the texture was heavy and gummy, almost like it had been sitting in the display fridge absorbing moisture for days or the fruit had not been properly prepped. I really appreciate the great customer service here, which is why this review hurts to write, but the quality control on the bakery side this time around was unacceptable. I really hope the management addresses freshness and shelf life standards because we would love to keep coming back.

I wanted one last matcha in Chicago before flying out, and Sweet Bean was right around the corner…read morefrom our brunch spot. I can't speak for their pastries, but their matcha was pretty good! This bakery reminds me of other Asian chains like Paris Baguette or 85°. When you walk inside, you can see the different pastries on display, from sweet to savory. You can pick and choose and pay up front. They also have a menu board with a variety of drinks--caffeinated and non-caffeinated. The service was fine, with limited interaction. They also have seating inside, but it's a bit limited. I got an Iced Mango Pandan Matcha Latte with Soy Milk. The matcha quality was fine. It was sweet, and there was a good amount of mango. I didn't taste any pandan, though. Overall, it was a good drink. I recommend coming here for matcha if you're in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way. Sweet Bean is a good spot in the Loop for matcha or Asian pastries. It's on the corner of Wabash Ave.

Found this little Cuban cafe while we were looking for breakfast in the area. Yelp led us to here…read more It's a pretty small cafe but it packs a good flavor and its authentic Cuban pressed sandwiches are really good.

This place gave a warm comfort feeling.

What sets this coffee shop apart is the over-the-top fin de siècle interior. The operators really…read moreput a lot of thought into the design. My out-of-town friends love it. It's cool, but if you're like me and like modern interiors or at least historically authentic spaces, this may not be your thing. This place is usually busy. Sometimes we can't find a seat and have to go elsewhere. When it's packed, the space can feel too rushed and noisy for us. It can be hard to converse or hard to just read and sip a cup for an hour. The coffee is more old-school, comforting, and predictable than you'd find at a third wave shop. I was disappointed with the last cup I had which tasted as though flavoring was added either to the beans or perhaps from a residual preparation. For a purist, this can be a let down. It's great that they offer a few pastries and light sandwiches, although they are a little pricey for the portions. The counter staff and baristas are usually very friendly.

Have had it before but it was packaged and sold through a food distributor to a local restaurant where I'm from at one point and never did disappoint! Walked into this iconic restaurant ready to eat some of their pastrami and could not have been more excited!!!! Free parking in the back lot behind the restaurant is a huge plus to this space that is massive because parking in Chicago is an expensive nightmare! The pastrami was delicious and quite massive for the price! My only complaint would be that I wish the whole Navels were hot and slice fresh to order, but this is a super, old school Deli that knows their business and I see why they won't reinvent the wheel on that one. My date had the roast beef and it was super rare. The staff were more than accommodating and ready to answer all your questions and make sure you are happy. Place is massive and had a market off to the side which is really awesome if you want to get something to go! Definitely would Go back in a heartbeat!

Prices are what you would expect on Michigan avenue, i.e. tourist pricey. My one quibble and why I can only give four stars is the coffee. When I first started going, the coffee was excellent, probably the best downtown. My morning latte used to be nice and foamy. It had a smooth caramel flavor and rivaled what I had in Europe. Lately, it has been hit or miss. I'm wondering if they've changed their beans or if the new baristas just aren't up to the job. The coffee is bitter, sometimes watery and lacking in creamy flavor. Disappointing. I'm wondering if others have had similar experiences.

This place was near our hotel so we tried it to brunch. I didn't realize this was like a franchise…read moresince I saw other stores like this throughout Chicago. Anyways - walking in they have kiosks to order your food. We took awhile ordering our food since this was our first time here. I got a turkey/ham baguette which was really large. I could only finish half and had to take the rest to go. Other folks got the egg dishes and they enjoyed it. Seating wise was at first hard due to limited space but after folks left we were able to sit and eat our brunch. I was expecting more French but it's more or a bare store being runned (Subways/togos etc. I would come again and the prices were reasonable.

#chicago #flyforfood #yelpfriends…read more My last day in Chicago. My last meal in Chicago. My travel partners and I chose Eleven city diner for our breakfast/brunch/lunch before my leaving for the airport. I wanted some deli food which with all of my meals I did not have. No pastrami, no corn beef no nothing up until this meal. I ordered an open face, pastrami sandwich, and boy. What a meal it was. Homemade pastrami plated on rye bread and a bed of cheese and their special sauce. My travel partners had meals of their own, but what was cute and retro of this establishment was their soda jerk machines, their old-fashioned counters with swivel chairs, there, old-fashioned, neon lights and their booths in dark colored vinyl. How retro can that be? Service was spot on as soon as you were seated, outcomes the water, the menu, and a smiley face asking for your order. A special touch for me was they held my luggage in the back area so it's not to clutter the dining area while we had our meal. I will definitely go back here for a meal next time I'm visiting the great Windy City
