Best cafe in Chicago. I was visiting the city for a very brief period between my bus journey and went here. Services and atmosphere was super! Very friendly to just sit and work and also grab the best food and coffee
Visited swadesi cafe for brunch on a Saturday. It was quite crowded but found seating after a few minutes. Chilli cheese toastie with gooey cheese and just the right heat was great. Samosa chaat croissant was not bad. The filling was flavorful. But the filling made the croissant a little soggy and the croissant kind of fell apart. Also tried the gulab jamun croissant and malai custard croissant. The filling was really good. But the texture of the croissant was tough and disappointing....read full review
Amazing food and great chai. The ambience is great but it is a small space and gets filled in pretty quick.
Would definitely recommend.
