Café 53 offers a surprisingly good self-serve buffet with a wide selection, leaning towards Asian cuisine. The food is fresh, and there are vegetarian options, though the main dishes tend to be meat-based. While the food is tasty, it may not be the best choice for those looking to limit their fat intake. This convenience store-based buffet provides a high-quality dining experience and is a great option in Midtown.
The restaurant also serves excellent breakfast sandwiches, including the popular baconeggandcheese, and iced coffee. The friendly staff and nice patio make it a must-try for halal eaters in Chicago. Customers appreciate the wide variety of food and drink selections, with many hot and cold options available. The fresh fruit on the cold bar has received particular praise. The Sumac Chicken sandwich is highlighted as one of the best chicken sandwiches. Overall, Café 53 is a convenient spot for a quick bite, with outstanding service from the cashier ladies and the owner, who remember regular customers’ orders.
