Why is the vegan meatball sandwich actually a couple of paper thin patties it was more like a grilled cheese than a vegan meatball sandwich very misleading

Always a great experience here. Breakfast and lunch here is a great choice! Sandwiches are huge and absolutely delicious. Bagel breakfast sandwiches are soooo good. A staple of Hyde Park for sure.

Best chicken sandwich I ever had. The bread was amazing. Definitely going back. My new fav sandwich spot.

Service was good, vegan sandwich was excellent and I will certainly have it again. Dining in a little complicated as the place is small and the popularity makes it a little congested. Wouldn't stop me from going again though.

Great Palestinian-owned cafe with vegan sandwiches and pastries. Coffee/drinks and a cozy ambiance

Great sandwiches. Had the garlic chicken and buffalo which were amazing. Recommend the Dutch crunch but it tasted sweeter on the garlic chicken than the buffalo
Food was pretty face coming out took about 8 minutes. Service was ok. The place was a no thrills spot a few tables but room to sit. Had buffalo chicken sandwich it was so so.

Cafe 53 in Chicago is an absolute gem and deserves every bit of praise it receives. I can't express how much I love this place! The moment you step inside, you're greeted with a cozy and inviting atmosphere. It's the perfect spot for a relaxed meal, catching up with friends, or enjoying some quiet time with a book. Now, let's talk about the food. The menu at Cafe 53 is a delightful mix of flavors and options. I've tried several dishes here, and each one has been a culinary masterpiece. Whether it's their delicious breakfast offerings or their mouthwatering sandwiches and salads for lunch, every bite is a taste sensation. And don't get me started on their coffee - it's the perfect pick-me-up to start your day. What truly sets Cafe 53 apart is their exceptional customer service. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always ready with a warm smile. They make you feel like a valued guest with their prompt service and genuine hospitality. I've been a regular at Cafe 53 for quite some time now, and it never disappoints. If you haven't been here yet, I highly recommend giving it a try. It's a must-visit spot in Chicago for anyone who appreciates delicious food, a welcoming ambiance, and fantastic service. I can't wait for my next visit!

Absolutely obsessed with this Palestinian owned coffee shop! Their sandwiches are PHENOMENAL. Their outside patio is incredibly adorable and beautiful to sit in. They are the most kind and generous hosts - the owner gave us free ice cream. LOVE LOVE LOVE and can't wait to go back to Chicago just to hit this spot up.

Great restaurant, food was very delicious and fresh, owner was very helpful and kind for a first time customer and explained the menu to me really well. Definitely recommend the sumac chicken sandwich I loved it. Highly recommend to try this place out if you are near Hyde park area on 53rd street.
Owner was very nice and helpful with recommendations. Sumac chicken was great! Lots of different options for sandwiches.
Such a cute lowkey cafe with great food.
