We found an amazing little Ukrainian cafe while doing an errand in the city, and it didn’t disappoint! Authentic home made European cuisine that helped us remember our childhood dishes in Poland and Moldova. 🇲🇩 🇵🇱 🇺🇦 Our cuisines have a lot of overlap but also some wonderful differences too! And it was vegetarian 🌱 friendly for us. Thank you my bestie for being my partner today and making my work appointment so much more fun 🤩 The experience was incredible...read full review
This place should be packed at brunch (only meal I’ve tried) for the Ukrainian cheese pancakes alone. They are truly something unusual and amazing. Not into cheese? Plenty of other tasty items on the menu. You can feel the homemade touches in each dish. The service was also excellent with good brewed coffee plus a full list of espresso drinks. Only complaint it the music choices could be better. Sort of funereal.

Shokolad Pastry & Cafe offers excellent food, featuring delicious vegetarian options like the summer omelet and Athena omelet. The eggplant, pea, and potato varenyky are very good, and customers have praised the amazing mushroom panini. The cabbage and carrot salad is also highly recommended. Desserts are scrumptious, so it's wise to save room for treats like the chocolate n cherry cake and the delightful raspberry crepes. Ukrainian specialties such as бorscht and varenyky are authentic and tasty, with the varenyky, or "Ukrainian pierogi," particularly noted for their amazing flavors, especially the potato and cheese. The cafe is known for its cozy, warm, and cheerful atmosphere, making it a great spot for those seeking authentic Ukrainian food in Chicago. The service is friendly, and the cafe stands out for its unique menu, which has limited vegetarian options but includes many meat items. Customers have found it to be a wonderful experience, making it a must-stop whenever in the area.
