The savoury waffles were topped with avocado, cheese, sundried tomatoes and sriracha sauce. The waffles themselves were light and airy while the toppings were fresh. I had never had anything like it before, and will definitely order it again when I'm in the neighbourhood. It is not however substantial enough to be a meal in itself. The lentil soup was incredible. The spices melded together perfectly to create a rich, hearty flavour. It reminded me of dal makhani (Indian cuisine) more than Middle Eastern style lentil soup. Service was quick. The staff were not overly friendly, but were totally unpretentious. The cafe was cozy and the restroom was clean. Overall, I recommend a visit here if you are in the Oak Park area and want to pick up something quick and light.

I ordered a strawberry lychee tea with strawberry popping boba (0% sugar) and a vegan bánh mi. The tea was a little floral for the first sip and does include the seeds of the strawberry -- this is a double-edged sword: you know it's fresh, real fruit, but you get little bits in your teeth! By the end of my drink, though, I was in love. It's sweet and fruity and overall very refreshing. The sandwich is a new favorite! It comes with a sriracha packet so you can choose your heat level. It's absolutely packed so don't plan on eating cleanly, but enjoy all the flavors! They meld so well and it's very filling. I paid less than $20 for this meal. I'm on a budget but I would say it was worth the money. I was full, satisfied, and happy with my choice, and I'd say it's comparatively very affordable for the area.

I've read numerous reviews raving about how delicious the empanadas are here. They're just ok. They fill the belly. They're nothing to write home about. I truly feel as if the empanadas have been "watered down" to suit the local clientele. Empanadas, truly awesome, delicious empanadas, are savory and seasoned beautifully. Then again, I'm not from Brazil. Maybe this is how empanadas taste in Brazil. If so, bravo, but I'm not paying $4.75 for one. But, the food in a nutshell: the guava and cheese have more cheese than guava. The chicken in the chicken empanada was chewy, but the taste was good. The cheese bread I can get from Trader Joe's - tastes the same and I don't have to wait 20 minutes.

The sandwich was good, they used a quality bun and I liked the jam. I do wish the bacon was cooked a bit more, but that's most breakfast sandwiches.

I liked the olive oil cake and the texture was perfectly moist with a crispy crust. The coffee was also delicious. I ordered a lavender mocha iced, and it came with a creamy foam on top. I would definitely want to get their cookies if I'm ever in the area again because it seemed like almost everyone there was ordering one.
