Love this place! Good food. Fast service. It's great to have healthier options in the neighborhood (without having to deal with fast food restaurants). read more

Visited this cafe for the 2nd time this past weekend. The first time was in the summer and it was delicious. This second time made me not want to return. I'm not sure if I ordered the wrong thing but I was very displeased. I ordered the Reuben Panini and the jerk chicken salad. The Panini was burnt and dry. No flavor. The jerk chicken salad tasted like a fragrance. Like lavender was added. I wish I would've kept my receipt. I would've returned my items purchased. read more

Just enjoyed a sandwich entitled Simply Panini. The sandwich was simply delicious. It was accompanied with a pickle and a bag of chips. I dined in during the lunch hour. Ain't She Sweet Cafe maintained a steady clientele of customers. Excellent service and venue. read more

Great place different type of sandwiches ice cream from heaven

I can't believe I haven't written a review about this place. I used to live in the neighborhood, and I walked here 2-3 times a week. I love the Bronzeville Salad with Turkey and ranch dressing. The service is amazing and the wait isn't long at all. I would recommend calling your order in ahead of time because it gets busy during lunch. This place is a GREAT addition to the Bronzeville area. They defiantly have a repeat customer in me! read more

My favorites are: jerk chicken wrap, muscle-up smoothie and the soups. It's just down the street from my job. When I want to treat myself (or just because), this is my spot. Enjoy! read more

My sister brung home a chicken salad sandwich on a croissant ! Oooh Wee, Delicious, A defiant must try!

Fantastic cafe. My business staff loves this place. We frequently get their catered assortment tray of signature sandwiches. Clients love them - especially the Jerk Chicken Wrap. read more

I'm obsessed with the jerk chicken on a spinach wrap (with everything). Their tomato bisque soup is also delicious. I haven't tried the whole menu but my tried and true is always phenomenal and the service is pretty average for the stop-in-and-go sandwich shop. I recommend everyone to try this place at least once. It's a lovely shop with good food and smoothies. read more

I've just found my new Bronzeville gem! Every time I go I get the Jerk wrap. Great light food alternative and still very filling.. They also have smoothies, milkshakes, bowls, salads, delectable desserts! All freshly made! I take a special trip just to come here! read more

First time I have ever ordered from this place, the woman who answered the phone was a little rude about not willing to exchange the wrap w another option...had to convince her that it should not be that difficult to make a sandwich instead of a wrap with the same ingredients. The jerk chicken was delicious, but was not happy w the da Steve and the potato salad. read more

I love this cafe! Stopped by this week and got my usual sweet fix! Can't wait to stop by again soon!

the food here is wonderful! It is locally owned and operated - what could be better?! The staff are helpful and they have a great menu. Bethany H read more

Ain't She Sweet Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place is wonderful. The tomato bisque soup is the BEST! I love their egg salad too! Friendly staff and independently owned. Definitely worth checking out read more

A hole in the wall type GEM. This place is as delicious as it is cute, hospitable, and perfectly priced - which is 5/5 to me! It's a little loud, but that's merely evidence of how full of life this place truly possesses! read more

I really enjoyed this cafe. I came with a friend for lunch. I had the Spartan panini (chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, & pesto sauce) and a piece of the chocolate cake. The panini was excellent!! Very fresh ingredients, including the yummy multigrain brain. The cake was not very flavorful or moist, but this was from an outside vendor. I tried my friend's tomato spinach bisque soup (I typically hate tomato soup) and was in heaven! It was sooo good!!. The space is small but cute. I definitely will be headed back. read more

Aint she sweet cafe' is here to stay, Love those jerk snack wraps!

I looooove this place!! I eat here all the time. Great food!! My favs are Caribbean Jerk Chicken Wrap, Da Steve w extra peppers and the spinach tomato soup!!! Soooooooo good!!! Try this place!!! read more

I have to say, the staff was friendly, the decor was clean and bright with interesting art; but most importantly, the food was good! Their Jerk Chicken wrap is really good! It was fresh, it was filling and it fed me. I would recommend it to others! They have a good selection of other wraps and sandwiches and also have specials. From the quality of food I had, I wouldn't be surprised the items are of high quality as well. They offered smoothies, and coffee, too. Plus, they have a cooler of drinks in case those are not up to you speed. There seems to be an option for everyone. Their customer service was top notch, the lady (who may have been the owner) took my order and made sure I got everything I needed. Nice, courteous, customer service that shows you care is a plus anywhere! Ain't She Sweet Cafe is indeed a sweet place to eat! read more

Very nice cafe located in Kenwood, somewhat of a hole in the wall because it's easy to miss. Great atmosphere inside, it is always busy so the line gets annoying but the service is good for the most part. Jerk chicken wrap is great & the smoothies are also good. Assortment of sweets from cake to cookies to pie are all very good also. read more

Jamaican jerk chicken with coconut rice bowl is out of this world. Staff is all SUPER friendly and loving - it feels like walking into your family's kitchen/living room. By far my favorite lunch spot in the area. read more

Hands down my favorite Bronzeville spot for their Jerk chicken spinach wrap and the tomato spinach bisque. The line moves swiftly and the lunch crowd typically knows what they want. Service is great as well. read more

Great place. I live having this welcoming spot in Bronzeville. The most helpful and sweet staff you could ever meet. The pace with Welch the staff work in this eatery is so harmonious. It's the perfect partner of its neighbor, Sip and Savor. I love that they listen to their customer base and when we wanted combos, they offered it! read more

This spot is very chill and laid back, it's a great place for a lunch date or to knock out some homework. I ordered the burrito bowl with chicken it was good. I would definitely frequent this spot. Also the staff is friendly if you decide to dine in a friendly staff member will bring it to your table. Overall Great food and atmosphere read more

Ain't She Sweet maybe one of the best places to eat in Chicago! The service is amazing. The food is amazing. There is absolutely nowhere in Chicago that can give you a better Jerk Chicken Wrap. Their shakes are amazing. I absolutely love all of the staff. I am good friends with the owner and she works very hard to keep the establishment high in the ranks. I would recommend this place over any place in Chicago. Sit down, have a meeting, eat you a wrap, and go on with your day. I'm going to buy this place from her one day! read more

Great sandwiches and smoothies. Call ahead especially during lunch hours. Never dined in always crowded. Parking right out front and I also noticed a nice clothing store next door. This place of my favorite lunch spots. A lot of Turkey products! read more

Wonderful modern and friendly establishment! This is a place where you can get soup, salad, sandwich/wrap, drink, smoothie and dessert. Convenient and swift service. I have a couple of go to foods.. For soups I recommend the chicken gumbo or tomato basil. I love the jerk chicken wrap-- the seasoning is great, and my favorite smoothie is Mango-Peach. If you still need more sweets they have a variety of ice-cream, cakes, and cookies. I love this place, one of my favorite's!!! read more

Da Steve is amazing. Other food options looked awesome. Quick and courteous service. Smoothie was fresh. Nice atmosphere to sit down. Reasonable prices. read more

I. Love. This. Place. The jerk salmon wrap is to die for! Its a great neighborhood eatery where the food is consistently delicious, smoothies are awesome, and offers great healthy options. read more

Looking for a neighborhood spot to read your paper, have a sandwich or tasty treat? Then this is your spot. I stumbled across this cafe during a neighborhood event in 2006 and have been hooked ever since. They offer a wide variety of sandwiches, salads, homemade sweets, ice cream, smoothies, etc. My personal favorite is the Steve; a warm croissant with several different types of turkey, melted cheese, and ... we'll I'll stop there, you'll have to check it out for yourself. The owner is usually there working and is a wonderfully gracious person. The service is great and the atmosphere is cozy and warm. Everyone feels welcome. read more

Delicious tomato basil soup and jerk chicken! Very cute place glad I recently discovered it!

Now I'm usually a big fan of this establishment , big taste , small place .... Everything has been o.k. up until this point... Me and my office frequent this place no less than 1-3 times with pretty big orders , on occasion we send someone to grab the order for us. Well to cut to the chase there has been forgotten items on more than one occasion , no big... But today I placed a phone order and asked for a particular flavor , now I've been told before when they forget to give the person our smoothies that they make them upon arrival. Well today must've been different , I was told that the smoothies are made before hand and I wasn't allowed to change my mind or else I wont be able to place a phone order again in the future .. Really punishment for changing my mind !!!! Well with that being said Ms Sweet your not so sweet after all !!! I'll miss you no longer will me or my staff patronize for such a small problem that could have easily been resolved.. read more

YEAH, I DID IT! I left Les Fleur de Lis after a bombed lunch, for dessert and coffee at Ain't She Sweet Cafe. The 3 people working barely looked up, at us for nearly 5 minutes. Looking askance, I notice some cool people in the window....the props that made us stop. Well, did we get slow, slovenly togo service? Yes we did. I opted out of ordering anything....ignore me, and I don't buy. My friend scanned and scanned...wanting to support this place for cool Black people....and bought ice cream, to go. Did it take a lot of delegating for staff to get theice cream? You betcha (Palin-esque). Will I go back or send anyone there? I think not (haughty). This place left me feeling dissed. And I am a customer. So........they don't need customers! read more

Today I (Camp Administrator) missed lunch. My head hung lo as I walked from the school lunchroom wondering what I was going to eat (because the school lunch was "blah"). In came a Camp Counselor with food from Ain't She Sweet Cafe. She walked directly up to me and said that if I liked tomato and spinach, I would love the soup and gave it to me. It was obvious that the Heavens had opened up. I proceeded to return to the office with a big smile and lunch. After I ate the first spoonful, I heard Angels sing. I immediately told the Counselor (20 yr old) that I would baby-sit her 1st born 5x for free ...whenever she had a child. Then I called and spoke with Ms. Margo and gave her a compliment on her soup. Not even 10 minutes later, the Dean of Students stopped in the office to tell me that she was running out for lunch and where do you think she was headed? Yep, to Ain't She Sweet Cafe. Again, the Angels sang (to me). I placed my order for a bowl and I'm licking my lips until it arrived. Healthy and Tasty! You can't beat it! P Raines read more

A friend of mine took me here yesterday afternoon because she thought the name was cute. I think it's pretty 'sweet' myself. I checked it out online and I was impressed by the low prices and the good reviews. I ordered the jerk chicken wrap with a weight watchers smoothie, while my friend had bowl with a very berry smoothie. The smoothie was delicious but the meat in the wrap was a tad flavorless. I'm not sure if the quality was off or if it was ill-prepared, but honestly it wasn't as tasty as it looked. I think this is a very cute spot but it can improve on the food. read more

I've only gone to the new location in Beverly. I love supporting black owned businesses and was excited there was one in my neighborhood. The food is delicious but the wait was unacceptably long. 45 minutes for two sandwiches. When I asked the young lady about my order she was non-responsive. The owner, on the other hand, was apologetic and offered to refund my money. I declined as it wasn't about the money... more about my time. I will order again, but will call in my order in advance! read more

Everything is good. If you like a kick the jerk chicken wrap is good. Everything is fresh and flavorful. They are always helpful and courteous as well. read more

turkey chili and tamale were the bomb thouroughly enjoyed will be back!!!!!

Went and got a jerk wrap today and it has really fallen off. It's been almost a year since the last time I've been however I use to go very often. The wraps are skimpy on meat and sauce is not as good as it use to be. read more
