Café Logan

Pleasant atmosphere, classy decor, food that aims for "bougie" but ends up so-so.

My main problem with the place is how confusing the setup is. Sometimes they want me to order at the counter, sometimes at the register. Sometimes they custom-make sandwiches for you, sometimes they don't want to. Is that guy standing next to you waiting for his order, or waiting TO order? No way to tell! Is an employee going to take my order, or will the register just stand unattended for the whole lunch rush? Who knows! Even the text on the menu behind the counter is difficult--it's impossibly tiny and switches periodically to whatever menu you're not trying to order from. I often can't even figure out which door to the cafe that I'm supposed to use--it seems to change to various combinations of the three possible doorways. I pity the art students who must rely on this place.

20 mins sitting with a menu Infront of me, girls walked by me 20 times and didn't take my order

Pretty nice good, but a bit expensive for what it is. Also a lack of vegetarian options.

Me and my friend came to this location while they were opening and we were denied in service. They should close at 4pm but they didn’t want to make a coffee for us at 3:35 pm

We caught a cool jazz set here and met some interesting people as well. Nice vibe.

Love the kombucha on tap!

Very nice cafe. I wish they were open later!

Quite,clean and close to the work place.

Lunch for me was a box with a selection of cheese, crackers, and fruit--simple but adequate. Cafe is located in the Logan Center for Performing Arts at the University of Chicago.

Since reopening, the café has mistakenly pivoted away from serving sandwiches to grain bowls, wraps, and flatbread pizzas. I figured this was meant to speed up its infamously slow service during the lunch rush, but the wait time remained frustratingly high. The falafel, hummus, and rice in my wrap were dried out from sitting out on a serving counter; though the produce toppings were fresh and crisp, the finished dish was really disappointing. The café had a lot of potential when it opened and used to be much closer towards offering reasonably priced food of a smaller menu. Now, it seems, you're likely to get worse food of an even more limited menu.
