Bro I got a bagel with chive cream cheese and they just slapped cream cheese on one side of the bagel and threw dried chives on the other half. It was totally wack. And the coffee was mid.

Great breakfast in a chill atmosphere. The Spicy Bob Ross has a little spice to it, but it doesn't mask the overall flavourness. My wife enjoyed the Manet and my daughter loved the smoothie. While eating you can watch at paintings.

The matcha latte was terrible
Got coffee with a friend here - great vibe and good coffee. Also had the goat cheese / fig pastry, solid choice. Want to come back and try their sandwiches (and more coffee!) to see just how strong their food game is. Everything looks good, and I really like coffee places that also have a small selection of good food for when I feel like staying for a while. Great vibe plus outdoor seating.

I love the food here, and I love the coffee here, but the issues are peculiar. First, if you are at all annoyed by sound, when they are roasting coffee, it’s impossible to work inside. Hopefully you won’t have autism and be particularly freaked out by loud noises. Secondly, this is a weird one, I have a problem with flies. Every time I come there this fly problem that I can’t seem to get over. The third item is even weirder. Their Wi-Fi doesn’t allow you to log into a lot of places. I can’t use my VPN. Nothing special. it’s just the hotspot VPN and I can’t log into even without the VPN. I can’t log into a whole bunch of websites that seem pretty rudimentary. My recommendation? Get your food and drink inside, but then eat outside. Plan on using your phone’s hotspot.

Cute little place. Big portions. Not a fan of the matcha.
Far as I know, Gallery Cafe has been slammin' since 2006. The in-house roasted coffee is delicious. The food is filling and everything is priced like we're still in the W/Obama era.
The vibe is hip without feeling pretentious. The staff is friendly & efficient. They sell work by local artists. The seating area is comfortable and roomy. The patio is shaded in the morning.
Hope they're there for the next 20+ years!

The best overall!
Painfully understaffed. 2 coffees and a sandwich took 35 minutes just to be missing ingredients. Sandwich was pretty skimpy but the taste was ok.
I’ve come here a few times now as it’s right around the corner from my boyfriend’s place and it’s so great everytime. Good coffee, great service and I love the vibe. We always enjoy looking at the local art. The DaVinci sandwich is sooo good. Our forever local spot

Best breakfast sandwiches in the city
Some of the best pastries and mixed drinks in the city. My go-to spot on the NW side!

I got the veggie sandwich, had hummus, avocado, tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, and onions. The avocado was more of a guacamole and there was more of that than hummus, I felt like the ratio was off and as a veggie sandwich aficionado it was not my favorite. It was on a whole wheat bread. It came with chips. I also got a cold brew.
My husband got a cheesy chicken sandwich, and a hot coffee.
Overall the environment was very smokey like someone had used a toaster over and over and burnt all the bread. Although the bread on my sandwich was not burnt. It was almost so Smokey my eyes were burning, and it was subtle at the same time.
The art on the walls was nice but the curation was weak, everything was uneven, but not purposefully. It’s weird considering it’s called a gallery cafe.
Vegetarian options: Vegan and veg sandwich options, chips, different milks
Kid-friendliness: Lots of stimulation, beverages, space
