Excellent balanced meal. Had the bacon and eggs, with nice toast, a salad, and diced potatoes. Turkish coffee was excellent. Clean place, and the owner was very kind. Will come back if I am out this way again.

I absolutely loved this little family-run restaurant! The shakshuka was wonderful — rich, flavourful tomato base, perfectly cooked eggs, with just the right blend of spices. And the coffee? Excellent, strong but smooth — just what I needed. The warm, friendly atmosphere makes it even better, especially thanks to the lovely owner whose kindness really shines through. Highly recommended for anyone craving good food and genuine care!

This eccletic little surprise café is the perfect place to enjoy a slow morning-- that being said, service was extremely prompt and much faster than anticipated. The owner is a doll and is happy to chat, answer questions, and made sure I knew all my options and was very considerate of my dietary needs! This was also the best cappuccino I think I've ever had. Decor is elangate, cute, and comfortable. Swing by for either breakfast or a quick coffee, you will not regret! My meal was the spinach and bacon quiche, paired with an arugala salad which was refreshing and was just what I needed!

Food was definitely something I never had before 8/10! But the decor of the place is beautiful. I wish the people who worked inside matched that. Woman with glasses was very unapproachable and I almost left due to that. Not sure if she’s never seen my kind before. I would probably not go back just off of this experience.

Food: I ordered a hazelnut cappuccino, and my sister ordered a pumpkin cinnamon iced latte. While we enjoyed the drinks overall, my cappuccino was lacking a noticeable hazelnut flavor, and I couldn't totally pick up on the pumpkin flavor in the iced latte. The syrups might just be lighter to pick up on? I was impressed with the pastries, however. Although they were out of stock on the chocolate chip Danish, I got the Almond Danish, and my sister got the Raspberry Danish. They lighlty warmed up although I wouldn't have minded mine to be slighlty hotter to enhance the flavors. I had never had an almond danish before, but it had the perfect amount of a sugared crumble on it with a custard-almond like filling on the flaky breading. My sister and I split the omelet. The bread was a little oily, but overall, it was enough food for the both of us, and it was made with simple yet fresh ingredients.
I would like to return to try the quiche of the day along with the carrot cake which they source from a local bakery!

Service: We had a young woman as our server, hostess, and cashier - a one in all deal. She was very welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu and offered any necessary accommodations. She checked in on us plenty and was easy to talk to.

Atmosphere: Upon arrival around 10AM on a weekday, this restaurant is incredibly calm and quiet. It was nice having the place to ourselves. Some of the matching wicker seating has a French esthetic near the counter. As much as I wish that this place had matching tables and chairs, they have flexible seating options throughout. Lots of faux greenery, it could do without the flowered garlands. Overall, the space is very clean, calm, and quaint.

I had a steak and egg plate and espresso. Food was fresh and delicious. Service was fast and very friendly. I would give 10 stars for an atmosphere - very cozy and relaxing.

Absolutely terrible service. Food over priced and nothing special. Bad coffee.

I didn’t eat but my associates liked the healthy menu. But for me I needed a larger variety of options and selections of food .

Absolutely fantastic brunch experience. Cute atmosphere, and just amazing food that you wouldn’t have seen coming. Super helpful and friendly staff, as well!

For starters, I don’t even know where else around the SW Chicagoland area you can get a shakshouka! The tomato sauce was perfect; not too up front, not too acidic or spicy or tangy, just blending in really nicely with the eggs. I had shared that along with their steak & eggs where you get a beautifully seasoned steak cooked how you like; with a glorious array of potatoes, eggs, a nice little salad, some gorgeous toast, and some beautifully cooked sun-dried tomatoes hiding sneakily underneath the steak. The flavors all compliment each other very nicely, like a team that works really well together.
Considering we were having brunch there, we also had to get the Turkish coffee. That alluring blend of spices and strength, this Turkish coffee does not dispoint. I also enjoyed the glass it was served in 😂

This place may be easy to miss location-wise, so treat yourself to some wonderful food here.

I had a pleasant experience at this little shop. I received great customer service. The iced tea I had was very delicious and refreshing. The organic chicken sandwich had fresh ingredients however the bread was a little tough. The environment is just as beautiful as the pictures show. I love the environment and how everything is set up and I would definitely visit again.
