great cookies, stellar coffee, incredible staff. consistently high quality environment to meet friends and colleagues alike.
Quality product and super friendly service. We cannot wait to try their seasonal coffee and pastries.
smores latte with vegan marshmallow fluff? so awesome... i've tried a handful of their drinks. their coldbrew with a splash of oatmilk is $4... rly good - smooth not acidic cb. their drink prices are pretty reasonable compared to most other places in this city imo. they have a couple vegan breakfast options, even have gluten free bagels that are vegan. haven't tried the food but the drinks are good! 4/5 stars since they do serve non-vegan options. : )

Rivers and Roads Cafe offers a warm, friendly atmosphere with an authentic log cabin vibe, featuring National Park art and cool lighting. The extensive woodwork comes from a 300-year-old black walnut tree, creating a cozy environment. The owners are very nice, and the staff is described as kind and friendly. Customers enjoy delicious hot breakfast options like bacon Gouda quiche and a variety of bagel sandwiches, including the popular Garden Bagel made on a rosemary salt bagel. The Lox bagel on a cheddar bagel is also a favorite. Excellent vegan baked goods are available as well. The cafe serves unique drinks like peach cobbler iced lattes, which, although described as tasting more like brown sugar and cinnamon, are still delicious. The brown butter mascarpone banana bread is highlighted as outstanding, thick and moist with sweet frosting and pecans. The interior has a National Parks theme that adds to the inviting feel. There is a decent selection of drinks, including oat and soy milk, and while the cafe can get busy, the line moves quickly. Overall, Rivers and Roads Cafe remains a beloved spot with great food, drinks, and a welcoming environment, making it a must-visit on trips to Chicago.
