Share your opinion about Café Brauer
If you are searching for one of the most iconic spaces in Chicago to host your wedding, Cafe Brauer is it. Located in Lincoln Park attached to the zoo there are the best skyline views of the city seated right in a nature focused setting. Surrounded by pond and trees, the building feels like vintage nostalgia and elegance. Truly unforgettable for the couple and their guests.

We had a delicious lunch at Cafe Brauer with my family after a nice walk through the Lincoln Park Zoo. We enjoyed the hummus plate and a chicking and avocado sandwich. Well priced and the view of the pond is enjoyable. Nice experience and we will be back.
Great coffee at a reasonable price. This is my second visit and I will come back.
