About Cafe 53

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. The hot foods bar includes rice and vegetables, roasted mushrooms, broccoli, fried plantains, and baked tilapia. Each food item was well seasoned. 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, right next to the Hilton.

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, including a huge variety of beverages and a salad / noodle bar. 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.

Bestes Café in Town ... super lecker
Wir kommen bestimmt wieder :) - garantiert!
Ich habe die Hähnkeule ohne Knochen mit Kartoffelpüree und die Semmelknödel in Pilzrahm. Einfach der Wahnsinn. Knusprig, cremige Soßen und ein echter Genuss. Sehr nett das Personal.Gemütlich.
