What People Are Saying
from Google"First time here and I will be back. Really liked the ambiance and food. The food seemed really fresh. I had the avocado toastband the bread and avocado was so soft and rich. I also had some tea and was was surprised how large a small cup was. Lastly I liked the ambiance and neighborhood feel."
"EDIT: this was a favorite place of mine until multiple reports of racism and mistreatment of the homeless population came out. I no longer recommend anyone going here. I just love this place. Nice, quiet, chill cafe with WiFi and soft music. You can do homework, work, or just go for chat with a friend. My favorite is the Elvis smoothie or honey nut latte and a turkey sausage breakfast sandwich on English muffin. Prices are reasonable. Staff is friendly."
"The most horrific experience I've ever had at a business. A friend ordered a dish, doesn’t wat meat and asked the cashier if she could substitute with toast and consulted with another barista who said yes to the substitute. One of the two women comes back and says the manager says we can't substitute. The manager comes out and literally says you can't have toast as a substitute, it's my restaurant, I'm the owner, and you want to have it your way. 😮 My friend tries to get the toast anyhow as she always substitutes at places but he goes on to bring McDonald's doesn't do this, but it does and you pay for what you purchase. She even said I'll go and add the toast He stormed off with the ticket and her food order number without clarity on what she wanted. The order was brought out and after such POOR treatment and not receiving the toast, she walked her order back up and he came out ego forward and said she was on BS and was being petty, and said he asked if she wanted the order or a refund, and she reminded him he stormed off. It was THE WORST EXPERIENCE ever. I immediately lost my appetite and decided I'd leave a review in real time along with leaving my meal unfinished. This was a placed I enjoyed coming to after church, all the way from Milwaukee, and brought ny friend along ONLY FOR HER TO RECEIVE SOME OF THE WORST EGO DRIVEN TREATMENT EVER. Based other reviews I read its clearly a spirit that comes from the top down and so I'd recommend folks NOT support this establish. Customers are not first, his ego is."
"I live in the area and this is my first time trying this place. I didn’t know they served food. I I ordered my food at 8:57 and I received my food at 9:08! I ordered the biscuits and gravy!! It’s sooo good. I thought it was biscuits with sausage grits- They gave me so much food. I also got the honey nut iced coffee. It was great. 10/10 recommend due to great food and fast service."
"Great breakfast. The biscuits and gravy bowl was fire. Was seasoned perfectly with a bit of a kick in the gravy. Love Chicago neighborhood local spots"
