One time I ordered the a bagel with pesto cream cheese and it was amazing. The next time I ordered the same bagel with pesto cream cheese, I was given maybe .05 oz of cream cheese. It was so, so dry. For the price (~$6) it was a huge disappointment and I honestly haven't returned since.

Used to go to the Lincoln Square location regularly, but moved to Bucktown and love being so close to another location. Friendly staff, same great (albeit expensive) menu, and quiet music making it great for getting some work done.

Parking can be a little challenging here since it's directly underneath the blue line with no parking allowed in from the building. This is a great spot for those that need to get some coffee before jumping on the L. The staff here was ok. Not the friendliest of the bunch, but they got my order made in no time and quickly got me on my way. I ordered their hazelnut horchata latte and my wife ordered their maple maca pecan latte. Both were delicious with the horchata latte being my favorite. It was a tad bit on the sweet side but overall a really creative drink. Would definitely consider returning and perhaps trying out a few of their other signature drinks.

Wanted to detail my experience at this cafe. I recently placed an order from the app Too Good to Go. The pickup time was between 3:30p-4:30p. I came to pick up at 4:40p - ten minutes beyond the pickup time; bear in mind, the cafe closes at 5p. The waitress was quite rude and firm on her stance that since I came late, I wouldn't be able to pick up my order. I asked for further explanation and was directed to speak with the manager over the phone. After several minutes of back and forth, I was offered a pastry the size of an oreo - no refund, I was told to 'take it up with Too Good to Go'. I don't know how to escalate this situation w Too Good to Go, and I honestly can't be bothered to do it over the $5 I paid. Overall, I can't be too mad, as I was late for pick up. But pretty disappointed that a locally owned coffee shop would treat their 3rd party patrons in such a way.

I have been searching for a dark chocolate mocha since I recently had one on a MI road trip. I found Oromo! I can't wait to go back to try more of their concoctions! Next up hazelnut horchata latte. Convenient location under the Blue Line Western stop. Skip the Starbucks across the street and head to Oromo.

Get the breakfast sandwich! They also have the more varied Turkish coffee options I've ever seen. Very excited to try some if the Turkish pastries next time. Located right under the L stop so no parking out front but was able to find parking pretty easily nearby.

I tried the Turkish coffee + Sweet Cream and a Housemade Poptart. Coffee tasted great and comes with tasty Turkish delights. The homemade poptart tasted way better than Kelloggs brand Poptart, needless to say. More filling, natural tasting, and crispier.The staff were friendly and helpful. Good amount of small table seating. The background music and acoustics were a bit loud though.

3.5 stars had really high hopes for this one but was nothing too special. We got the breakfast burrito (very bland)the naan pizza (the best of everything, good!)the quality of the matcha wasn't great the maple latte was okay as welloverall was an okay experience

Wow! Great stuff in there !!! Breakfast was delish! Authentic and ambiance very inviting and warm. It is all made from scratch. Love it . Will def go back.
What a find! Oromo's second outpost is an absolute Bucktown gem. With a menu of intriguing flavors, the hardest part will be deciding what to choose.I ordered the Maple Maca Pecan latte which was made with homemade pecan milk. The coffee was perfectly sweet and creamy, and all of the flavors really shined. Oromo also offers a large selection of housemade baked goods, most of which are paleo, clean eating, and/or vegan friendly. I tried the cashew butter cookie which was absolutely outstanding. The food menu also looked promising and I will definitely give it a try next time.Staff was very welcoming and the shop has plenty of seating room. It was relatively quiet on a Sunday afternoon so it would be a great place to get some work done or catch up with a friend without any struggle hearing.Highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area!

Fun way to start my day. Turkish coffee feels like an emotional break from Chicago. A few minutes later, I'm ready to return to Chitown hyped on caffeine.

In the sea of coffee shops in Chicago (and Oromo bucktown might have like 5 competitors within walking distance) its' hard to stand out. I'm sad it took me so long to finally star Oromo, because they have standout differences.The Turkish coffee is worth ordering - I like the cardamom but they have a variety of options, and this take is a nice alternative to my standard orders. Plus they serve it on a delightful tray with Turkish delight accompanying... this won me over right there.Food options here are unique: house-made protein bites, grains and bars that feature a lot of nuts, cardamom, dates, but also a whole variety of things. I'm positive you're not getting this elsewhere. But then they started serving kitchen-made breakfast sandwiches.The spot is tucked under the Blue line stop, but surprisingly isn't too dark as long as they don't have the shades all the way down. Staff are usually friendly and polite.

Hip but cozy Turkish coffee spot in Bucktown. Vegan friendly. Relaxing coffee shop near the Western blue line stop. Good selection of coffee drinks and pastries. Great place to catch up with a friend or get some work done. A little pricey.

Bucktown has lots of places for coffee. If looking for some bagels to go along with it, get both here. Oromo has a couple locations: one in Lincoln Square, and this one. Mostly quiet place that's usually not too crowded, and can get work finished. The prices are pretty good for locally made and high quality. A coffee is probably what you want from here. It had a few seasonal specials the last time I was here, and I liked it. They had the Mexican Oat Mocha. It was about $5 for a regular cup. Rich flavor with the espresso, oat milk, and spiced mocha. As for the food, you also have to eat. It's about $10 for a bagel sandwich. Has a few vegetarian choices. Last time I got the Green Power. As you can imagine, there's green vegetables in it. This comes with avocado, balsamic glaze, pesto, and spinach. Has a lot to choose from. It's best known for coffee, and there's quite a lot of it. There's also good bagel sandwiches friendly for vegans and vegetarians.
