This is a must try for any Chicago foodie.“

“I've been going since I was 10, my all time favorite coffee shop! I 100% reccomend going if ur a book worm or even want to hear some nice live music to listen to!“

“Nos encantó! Muy limpio y elegante, nos atendieron muy bien. La comida estaba muy rica!“

“10 years, and I still love them. Everything is perfect at any location. Chicago’s premier roasters.“

“First timers and now we will be regulars! The hospitality, atmosphere and fare were outstanding! From the knowledgeable staff, the welcoming management and the hostess that went WAY above and beyond to be sure my disabled husband was accommodated from when we booked our reservation to the end of our dining experience - we couldn’t have been more delighted! See you again soon, Lardon!“

“Amazing. No other words needed.“

“Chose to come here because it’s a halfway point between my friend’s and I’s homes, and it was such a pleasant experience! The atmosphere was very nice and calm, the smells were divine, and the service was excellent! We got to chat with the owner for a second and she was absolutely darling! I had a strawberry matcha latte with brown sugar boba and I know in a week I’ll be craving it again. 10/10 will be coming back again!“

“What a gift to the neighborhood. This is a truly fantastic coffee shop. Great coffee, friendly service, wonderful location on the boulevard. They really do well with all the important stuff.

If I’m going to be picky, the furniture is not very comfortable and the tables are small. I’d love to come here more often to work but that prevents it. There is also a lack of outlets, especially at the center community table, which is the most comfortable place to sit by far. These things make this place not ideal for extended stays unfortunately, just my honest feedback. They really kill it with the coffee and service so I will be back and they still deserve the 5 stars.“

“Thank you so much Cafe El Menson for your generous donation to my kindergarten classroom today. My students really enjoyed the Arroz con Gandules. I cannot thank you enough!“

“Our family absolutely loves Bb's donuts! We do miss being able to go inside the donut shop. So many wonderful memories taking our little girl there to eat donuts and read a book or two. We have a little boy with Autism and it's not safe for him to sit in front by the busy street because he runs. Wish we could go inside to enjoy donuts & coffee knowing it's something our son would truly enjoy.“

“The Chocolate Peppermint Marshmallow in our Illinois advent calendar was delicious! Highly Recommend!! 🤎“

“I’ve been meaning to stop by this shop for a little while. I got the iced salted maple matcha latte with cloud foam and it was delicious! I wanted to try the ube crinkle cookies but they were out on a Sunday afternoon. The staff were very friendly, and the wait was about 10 minutes. The atmosphere was a little loud with the two restaurants in one space so I grabbed my matcha to go.“

“Love this place! Delicious food, gluten free options, and excellent service. Chef Paco is the best! I highly recommend the tamal de mango!!“

“Best coffee shop I have found so far! Delicious matcha and pastries. The tea selection is also great.“

“Thank you, Backlot Coffee, for letting us use our personal cups again and helping to protect the environment.“

“excelente cafe chapaneco y sus tortas exquisitas!!“

“Excellent chocolates. Pristine shop. Delightful wait staff. You will be pleased!! 😋“

“We were going on a little food/drink hop and stopped by for a cocktail and some food. We split the pork curry and it was amazing, super flavorful with generous portions of meat. We had two more stops for the night so we didnt eat a lot there but I do wish we did because their food menu is great!
It seems like its a cafe during the day and their coffee menu also looked wonderful. Definitely want to go back to try their coffee and more of their food.
I had a slight hangover so I got their bloody Mary and it helped my stomach!“

“We ordered a cake for a birthday, and it was perfect. It was beautiful and delicious!“

“This is hands down our favorite restaurant. We eat here at least twice a week, and the consistency is one of the main reasons we keep coming back. The service is warm, efficient, and always welcoming. The chicken skewers are outstanding. Perfectly seasoned, tender, and cooked just right every time. They are flavorful without being heavy, and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. The Greek salad is equally impressive. Crisp vegetables, generous feta, balanced dressing, and always fresh. It is simple, but done exceptionally well. When a restaurant can deliver this level of quality consistently multiple times a week, that says everything. We highly recommend it.“

“Enjoyed a chocolate covered rose latte on the Valentine’s special menu and it was delicious. Subtle flavors and not too sweet.“

“Everything you could want on their menu trust me“

“Deserves more than 5 stars! WONDERFUL experience each time I come here. Everything made from scratch. Not just pierogi ---Gelato, soups, empanadas, tamales, pizza pie (takes 50 mins to make from scratch and worth it!!) Premium Belgium chocolates, shakes, Coffee and most recent.....160 (yes one hundred and sixty) different premium teas from around the world!!.....and more to come! They also own the tea room and book store next to the cafe. Owners are THE BEST! Welcoming, personable and humorous. Dinning outside available and pups are welcome! You can tell they have a passion for the business. HIGHLY recommend! ENJOY!“

“Yum. The food was fantastic.“

“Love, love, love this place and that it’s so close to home! Chill atmosphere, good tunes and they support other local businesses and artists. If you haven’t tried the “Wildflower” it’s a must! 🍃☕️🤎“

“My go-to coffee is from the Little Creperie. I used to be a starbucks drinker, and now I can’t ever go back to it after tasting the quality of Little Creperie’s coffees. My absolute favorites are the Honey Lavender Latte, Pistachio Creme Latte, and Mocha. Not only do the coffees taste amazing, but the presentation is so cute!!“

“Saw this place on TikTok. Did not disappoint! The fresh pasta is awesome and the paninis out of this world. Not to mention, large selection of fresh gelato was a plus.“

“Absolutely recommend & will definitely be back. Such a cute little brunch spot with the kindest staff. The French toast flight was so flavorful & some of the best I’ve had! The chicken & waffles were also spot on with true flavor & cooked as they should be. Everything was fresh, delicious, and adorable“

“This little shop is the perfect addition to west town! It’s very modern but cozy inside with a 4-5 tables. I’ve been a few times for both dine in and takeout. The staff is super friendly with great suggestions and happy to make modifications. In the morning I’ll get a banana fosters latte but half sweet which is just perfect. It’s got a lovely banana cinnamon mix. For lunch I’ll get the shawarma salad with chicken, the rice in a nice touch that makes this feel more like a meal than just a salad. I’ve had the gluten free treats and they are definitely on the healthy tasting side. All in all love this place and will be back again and again!“

“there make great refreshers“

“10 years, and I still love them. Everything is perfect at any location. Chicago’s premier roasters.“

“One of the best lattes I’ve ever had. They are clearly passionate and intentional when it comes to the beans they serve, but the latte was also perfect. Creamy without being too milky, pandan vanilla flavor was present but didn’t overwhelm the taste of the actual espresso. Very cute space too, though limited seating.“

“Lovely place, very nice folks working there. Great coffee, yummy banana bread . Honorable mission. Go there.“

“I’ve seen this place in my neighborhood for quite some time and decided to try it out and I’m glad I did. Their sandwiches are absolutely delicious! And great value too. I definitely will recommend this place to friends and family :)“

“I’m in love with this place and the people working there are sweet and nice I’m addicted“

“Excelente Lugar y unos deluciosos panini mis hijos les encanta“

“Yesterday I took the Sourdough Breadmaking Class with Chef George at The Ancestral Oven and I just pulled an amazing loaf of bread out of my home oven 24 hours later! Chef George provided all the necessary instruction and supplies - including a lively starter - for students to start their own sourdough journey at home. The class included hands-on experience feeding the starter, as well as folding and shaping the dough. I had a great time at the class and can't wait to return to try out the breakfast and lunch menu at The Ancestral Oven Bakery and Cafe.“
