"We took the Red Line from Chinatown, and it was a short 2 min walk from the nearest stop to the cafe. We arrived close to 10:30am on a Friday, and was lucky enough to snag a table. There was mostly high tops and a couch that was still unoccupied. It was beautiful inside. I loved the whole vibe and layout of the cafe. I loved all the mirrors placed around the cafe. I ordered a vanilla matcha earl grey tea. The breakfast sandwich was simple, nothing too special. Fresh drip coffee was fresh and good. We stayed close to an hour. The cafe had plenty of foot traffic."

"This cafe is a little bit off the beaten path from downtown Chicago, but it’s so beautiful that it's totally worth the trip! The atmosphere and decor are amazing. The latte is great, and the breakfast sandwiches we ordered came out really fast! Everything was delicious. I loved it!"

"This is such a beautiful coffee shop! I’ve been wanting to get over here for so long, but I’m glad my first visit was during the holidays. The decorations are beautiful and really lend to the ambiance. The staff were very friendly and helpful, even when my 3 year old granddaughter spilled some of her smoothie. Plus, they have decaf espresso beans! (Which not every independent shop has.) I’ll definitely be back."

"Amazing decor and ambiance along side high quality cakes, pastries, and some hot dishes. Service was nice and they do bus things out to your table. During the weekends they do have a ban on laptops which is nice to see."

"Delightful! In my opinion, we need more of these aesthetically pleasing Old World cafes. I placed my order at the counter, was handed my number, snagged a seat by the window & basked in the ambiance of this lovely space in a historic neighborhood. I had the chipotle sausage & egg on a croissant sandwich with a cortado, for just under $20. No complaints. The food came out fast, warm & tasty. Turns out the “chipotle” component was a messy mayo that elevated the usual breakfast sandwich. Definitely worth the trip."
