Ancora Cafe + Bakery Reviews
We love getting food here. We have never had a disappointing dish. Every item is thoughtfully made and delicious. My kids are big fans of the seasonal pancakes.
Ancora has wonderful views and wonderful food and drinks. I often do work while sitting there. Nice staff and menu :)
We are dedicated Ancora fans. When we left the Northern Illinois/Southern Wisconsin area in 2020 we decided to continue our subscription via mail. We have yet to find a better cup anywhere!

Ancora Cafe + Bakery, particularly the University location, is a popular spot for breakfast or brunch. The inside has a charming aesthetic that customers love, and the staff are known for being sweet and attentive. The cafe can get busy and lively, especially on weekends, which might make finding seating and getting an order a bit longer than expected. Despite the bustling atmosphere, the food and drinks are consistently good, including their Hella Stella sandwich, sweet potato fries, and generously-sized lattes. Customers highly recommend the avocado toast and their pastries, especially the best cinnamon roll some have encountered. The staff, known for their friendliness, contribute to a welcoming atmosphere. Seasonal offerings like the fruity pebbles matcha are also enjoyed by many. Overall, Ancora offers great quality food and coffee, though some find the prices to be quite high for the portion sizes.
