“When heading towards Beverly for a property management home inspection, I wanted to find a local coffee joint that I could get a coffee and a snack of some sort. Afro Joe's was calling to me. Walking in, greeted warmly, the adventure began. If you haven't been, check the menu before you go because you will want to order one of each item! Since it was my first time, most certainly NOT the last, I needed a lifeline. Charmaine to the rescue. I don't know if I manifested or she read my mind , but when I asked which sandwich I should order instantly , she said the short rib! Boom! Done. Next up, a drink choice. Again I was not led astray. The option was a blueberry lavender cold brew topped with rose cold foam. As she was suggesting the option, Charmaine lifted the one she was drinking and again instantly sold. No chocolate croissant available since it was later in the morning but the chocolate morning roll was there and three for three, the order was placed. I already know that I have to come back, time and time again.Just walking in such a chill vibe , perfect music, everyone tables either working or chatting with a friend. The open kitchen invites you to see the hustle and bustle. The garage doors roll up onto the patio for warmer days and what appears to be local art work adorns the walls. When I tell you, this is absolutely no exaggeration, every item was on point! The short rib was so flavor forward eith the bite of picked onions, there was a side of diced pickles and onions too. Also a hit. The warm bun had some fruit nestled in its chocolatey tummy, flakes and moist with the richness of cocoa. And for the latte, cold, sweet and the flavors all complimented each other so well. I did opt for whole milk because, why not?!? I had one too many client emails and texts to be able to enjoy grabbing a book from the shelf but note, they even had the sharpest of colored pencils to doodle or write a note with. I have not one complaint, well, maybe one, I wish they were in my neighborhood because this would be a staple place to visit regularly! Until we meet again and I can get my hands on a chocolate croissant next...or any one of the other of their baked goods. Support your Local Black Owned Businesses!“

“Everything a matcha latte should be. Balanced in every way. Also ordered a bagel sandwich which was pretty good - as an East Coaster bagels in Chicago just don’t hit the same however it was decent. Definitely a bit pricey but overall worth it!“

“The space is big and beautiful with lots of natural light and cool views outside! Their croissant breakfast sandwich was a nice big portion and tasted delicious. Love the location behind the Chicago Park District headquarters so you could go for a stroll or check out the park and recreational fields afterwards.“

“The pastries are very delicious! I have a variety of them. They are some of the best I have had in unexpected combinations. The latte I had was floral and balanced. It was a Lavender Latte. If you love coffee and pastries, you do not want to miss out on this experience. Cafe Calida has a selection that is full of flavor that is truly sure to delight. Visit them today to see for yourself. Check their hours of operation.“

“After hearing about Omarcito’s from Triple D, we had to try it. The owner, Omar, is hilarious and has a great personality. He greeted everyone as they walked up and held genuine conversations. My husband and I ordered a few different items, and we were not disappointed. The ingredients are fresh and you could tell the meat is marinated because it was super tender. This place is a must!!“

“Can’t say enough great things about this place. The word that immediately leaps to mind when I think of it is…comfort. It’s a comfortable space with a very relaxing vibe. And old school coffee house vibe in many ways (and that’s a HUGE compliment in my book).“

“Prequel is my favorite coffee shop in Chicago. Their menu is small but it absolutely shines in the coffee department. They really know what they're doing here. The brown sugar cardamom latte is perfectly sweet with just the right amount of spice. The rose and lavender matcha is also a favorite of mine. The florals go so well in the tea, and the strength of the matcha is just right. I have tried their deluxe breakfast sandwich and it was missing something to me, a bit of spice or smokiness or something, and I have yet to try their pastries, but I know I can always count on them to make an excellent latte or cup of coffee, which is what comes first for a coffee shop.“

“I’ve solicited this place since the beginning of their viral TikTok video. Each time was a great experience. The staff are always polite. They really take time out to listen to your fav. choices, and are willing to let you add or subtract your fav. flavors. The products are of good quality, and the taste is wonderful. Try them out. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Great little place. Got there at 5:00, it closes at 6.... but by 5:30 it was packed with dinners at tables and picking up take out. Perhaps stay open until 7?? Seems like there's a lot of demand right after work gets out. Tried several things, but the savory menu was probably my favorite. BLT Biscuit was excellent with lots of thick cut bacon. The Sausage Biscuit was phenomenal, especially with the perfectly cooked jammy egg on top! The Chicken Pot Pie was also good, with excellent crust crammed full of nice thick filling, with plenty of meat. Then we tried the Quiche. Lovely fluffy texture in the eggs and tons of vegetables, again with a great crust. The two sweet pies we tried were the Key Lime and the Chicory Chocolate French Silk. I liked them both, wanted a little more greatness in the key lime - but for those who like the creamier smoother flavored key lines it would be perfect. The chocolate again was good but i craved a little bit more of an intense punch of flavor. Just my personal preferences. There was nothing i wouldn't eat again, and i think it was all very fairly priced. Nice bohemian atmosphere and great service. Definitely recommend.“

“I’m new to the neighborhood, and happily have fallen in love with Metric. I walk my dog around the cafe pretty much everyday. The coffee is great, and the pastry is excellent! Most of my experiences with the staff have been lovely, however there is one employee (owner/manager?) that consistently has a bad attitude. For example, today, he was trash talking my half-caff latte order, and voiced out loud in front of not only me, the customer, but everyone else and his coworkers, “who would want to put that **** in their drink?” Isn’t that basically saying you serve bad decaf? I’ll still frequent Metric, because I love it. I just wish every experience was top notch and I didn’t have to roll the dice on having an equally pleasant experience with everyone working there.“

“I was just visiting Chicago and stopped by this cute coffee shop. This place is really cute. Vibe is so welcoming and friendly. Coffee they serve is amazing. I had Oat Latte, Turkish Matcha(served with Baklava Syrup) and Blackberry Matcha. I came here everyday in a week and had a good experience each time. Also, pastry is amazing.“

“The perfect tavern style pizza. Unlike most spots that are shooting for cracker thin and crispy, Novel's tavern pies have a thicker base. This provided a fuller, more satisfying bite while still retaining the lightness and the crispy bottom. With high-quality ingredients that you can taste and the option to purchase by the slice, easy 5.“

“I was visiting from out of town, stumbled across this lovely bakery and immediately fell in love. The atmosphere was amazing with plenty of seating and games available to play (a group was playing giant Uno). The treats are well priced and tasty. The barista was wonderful helping me select which drink to get. I really appreciate that you can add THC/CBD to your drink (and at what level) meaning sober friends can join and also enjoy. Great spot, I'd definitely be back if I lived local and am Hella jealous we don't have anything similar at home.“

“If you’re looking for a variety of delicious pan(Mexican sweet bread) and cafe(coffee) or tea, this is a ONE STOP SHOP!
They serve the smoothest cold brew and richest cafe de olla!
Now— “early bird gets the worm” as they sell out fast(bread.)
They are open later than most local cafes(6 pm) and have the BEST team. Not only are they phenomenal with drink recommendations but the customizations they cater towards their customers provides the best quality of coffee you can experience!
Anything and everything you can think of they might have. If not, ask for a recommendation; I can almost BET you will not be disappointed!“

“The most delicious food and drinks! I had a blueberry latte and it was literally the perfect fruity coffee drink, which was the only description that I could give them to work with and I was overly impressed with their ability to make such a tasty drink.
I also had an ACE bagel, and added bacon and it did not disappoint... Just as tasty as the drink. And the pricing is great as well!“

“I came here for my birthday breakfast on a Monday with my son and had the best meal ever! The sorullitos are AMAZING and the Coquito latte is something I will drive 30 mins back just to have it again. I had the yuca pork skillet and it was incredible. 10/10! It's chill, laid back, and great food. It was exactly what we were looking for!
Bella is also so sweet and kind. I loved hearing their story of the family owned business and wish them nothing but success!“

“We hired this vendor for a catering event. They are extremely easy and pleasant to work with. The food was outstanding and gained praises from all who tried it. People were asking about location of this vendor to have future lunches. The food was not a typical boxed lunch. It allowed people to experience a different cuisine, which was very nice and refreshing.“

“The best thing about this cafe is that I do not live anywhere near it, so I can't go every day. But for real, everything I have had from them from savory to sweet has been absolutely fantastic, and I am not easy to please when it comes to baked goods. I cannot comment on the coffee, because I don't drink it.
But try a cookie! Or a scone! Or a biscuit!“
