Junebug Cafe Portage Park

Stopped here for lunch after visiting my sister down the street. Fantastic po-boys, delicious Cajun fries, and their milkshakes!? Try the espresso flavor! So good! Highly recommend this cute neighborhood spot!

Excellent service, responsive staff and delicious food! junebug is IT <3

Got the beignets, catfish po'boy, red beans and rice plus shrimp and grits - everything was so tasty

Really good food and staff is very welcoming! Great place to relax and have a nice meal, coffee, and a milkshake!

Walked in at 2:49pm and was refused service and told they were closed....kinda rude

I wish I had taken photos before I ate it all!
We’ve enjoyed them for many years.
Their meat pies are delicious and hearty.
The gumbo is well made.
Beignets. Just order them and enjoy.
Their coffee is solid. Even for delivery.
The staff has been so personable and even when there was a mix up, they handled it with grace and quickly.
We love ordering from Junebug!

The server was very disrespectful. A simple pick up order was turned into a very distasteful encounter for no reason. Trying to get my phone open to the side of the register to show the name for an order and told to leave the establishment and my food was getting cancelled when it was already paid for. Wasn’t a busy line or anything just blatant impatience and disrespect.

I came here with my mom on Sunday. The lady serving us was incredibly rude when my mother required a little bit of help on her order. She asked my mom to leave and figure herself out, and when my mom refused, she threatened to cancel her order and throw out the food. I really don’t know why they do not treat some of their guests with the same kindness as others, and I was extremely disappointed by this place as my mom had been very excited to try it. The service truly spoiled any type of enjoyment I could have gotten from the food, which in the end tasted very unauthentic compared to other Creole places I have tried around the city. Please do better.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re looking for a little slice of New Orleans, Junebug Cafe is the place to be! From the moment you walk in, the aroma of rich, smooth coffee fills the air, and the first bite of their Louisiana hand pies or fluffy, powdered-sugar-dusted beignets will transport you straight to the French Quarter. The flavors are authentic, the atmosphere is warm, and every sip and bite feels like a celebration. Don’t miss out on this hidden gem—your taste buds will thank you! ☕✨ Start your morning with a little taste of New Orleans right here at Junebug Cafe! #JunebugCafe #TasteOfNOLA #BeignetsAndCoffee #CafeVibes

Wow!! The sauce is literally perfection! We got mas bbq biscuit and chicken po boy, a 20oz latte and come cookies!
I’ve come here a few times and let me tell you, consistency is a huge part of being my favorite place to eat at! Every time I come and eat here or grab a coffee, it’s tastes exactly like I remember it! DELICIOUS!
I also noticed the cookies are homemade and not store bought. WOW, incredible! Weren’t too crunchy and weren’t too soft and perfect amount of chocolate chips. So far I don’t have anything bad to say about this place. The staff here are very kind and welcoming! Definitely plan on trying everything on the menu at one point lol

My first time being here and I was highly impressed and satisfied. The customer service was impeccable, being our first time there she made it super easy and comfortable. Also loved the theming of the restaurant. GUMBO AND BEIGNETS IS A MUST TRY!

I got the Biscuit Brisket BBQ sandwich which is great, you can get it with gravy instead of bbq.
My gf got the rice and beans bowl. It's amazing with sausage and a a remoulade sauce. It's 2 meals!

Stopped in because they were open on thanksgiving and who couldn’t use beneigts and coffee? Ended up eating a full meal cuz the food was so good. An absolute delight of a dining experience. The food was a taste of Louisiana casual and the staff were all friendly and welcoming. We WILL be back.

Food? Pricey but good. Service? Amazing! Atmosphere? For a JAZZ themed cafe it’s incredibly DISAPPOINTING. They only play country music LOUDLY. The ambiance is distorted, I wouldn’t mind if the music wasn’t blasting!!
