I went here on a rainy Tuesday for the Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap. Everyone talks about this place as having the best CCSW. As a long time lover of salad sammies I had to try. Overall very thick, stuffed with chicken, shredded parm cheese, and lettuce I was overly impressed. This place may actually have the best CCSW in the city of Chicago. The dressing was blended well into the lettuce and the chicken, the parm was protected on its own layer. If you have the time, go!

I also got a coffee, had a hazelnut flavor seemingly and it was good.

The hours are difficult it's truly a lunch place as it closes at 2pm. The staff were polite, the wrap came out within 5 minutes.

You can sit inside, it's small and it's all high top tables, but it's not stuffy.

Kid friendly

Kid-friendliness: Has space inside to sit, juices, chips

It started with a sandwich which are PHENOMENAL, but Seinfeld could never, with Nohea’s black and white cookie, lol. That black and white cookie is just short of heaven. I used to get them for my accounts to close deals and let’s just say I 100% got the deal.
When I get married I want those cookies to be in place of my wedding cake. I’m sorry I’m going on about these cookies but they are absolutely heavenly, divine, delectable, wonderful and damnit they are just plain good!

Multiple hairs found in my order, and was requested to "come back" to show staff before I got a refund. Luckily they accepted my pictures instead. Staff was defensive and unapologetic when I called.

Last time I ever had a sandwich here was 6 years ago when I still worked for Nohea Cafe. I’ve been craving the chicken salad sandwich ever since and today was the day I finally ordered it. Still just as good as when I first had it!!! Will not be waiting another 6 years to come back, I actually told my best friend I’m bringing her here this coming Saturday. The food is so good!! Smokin’ Turkey and South of the Border wraps are also top of the list.

AMAZING AND FRESH FOOD. VERY TASTY AND NUTRITIONALLY ACCOMMODATING!! 10/10 WOULD EAT HERE AGAIN. I MOSTLY LOVED THAT THEY HAD ZERO SUGAR LEMONADE TO HELP WITH MY FITNESS/CALORIC GOALS. BIG GAME CHANGER FOR ME THERE. KEEP IT UP!! EVERYONE GO HERE FOR LUNCH!! It is a bit pricey BUT you get what you pay for. AMAZING QUALITY.

Wow, this was an unexpected treat for a small cafe on the corner. The food was so delicious that I returned to work to write this review. I was craving a panini, and this small cafe popped up in my searches, so I grabbed my friend, and off we went. For a small restaurant, they pack big flavors in their bites. I ordered the Easy Briezzzy, and my friend called the Tommy Cubana. We also ordered two gingerbread lattes. Now, where to start. My Easy Briezzzy was all comfort flavors wrapped into one panini (which packed a lot of punch for happy taste buds). I did steal a bite from my friend's sandwich. It was still steaming when he got it, and that bite was great. I am not a fan of mustard in any capacity, but I did not even taste it. The gingerbread lattes were superb, for the fact that they were not overly sweet. The cafe was not super busy, but we arrived at the tail end of the lunch hour, and the cafe closed at 2pm. When we arrived, most of the customers in the establishment were grabbing their take-out orders. We will revisit this cafe again to try more delicious menu items.
