Foo is good customer service is bad I waited 24 min for a jerk wrap it wasn't crowded 2 people ordered behind me with bigger orders and left out before me. And when you say something the old lady will say you want your money back? No apology. no I been waiting 24min I want my sandwich. I also paid for two sides that were pre made and I guess you have to eat them with your finger because they don't give you a spoon. Very bad customer service. read more

I should start with my regrets-I did not get the Salmon wrap-even though it looked sooooo good and I have heard great things about it. Fortunately, I plan to return, so I will definitely grab wraps (and probably a salad too-lol) in the future. Now, here's what I did right on this visit: getting their ice cream. I brought my kid cousins here and they loved their ice cream. The portions were huge (which of course the kids loved) and it tasted fresh as well. Staff were friendly while also making sure that folks were wearing masks and social distancing (#covid). Definitely recommend this place! read more

AMAZING!!! i eat here soooo much, and just happen to be making a review for another place and wanted to give them one as well! they're in my neighborhood and its such a good option. i LOVEEEE the jerk chicken wrap!! i'm addicted actually. Everything I've had was good. the Jerk bowl is better than chipotle, so I go there when I want a "bowl". Plus they're black owned so a good plus! Only issue is theyre alwaysssssss busyyyy and sometimes its hard to place a phone order!! But the food is worth it. read more

Okay ... I would go back if nearby but wouldn't go out of my way. Out of several menu items, wait was a bit long.

Food is always great and fresh I would highly recommend this place. The jerk salmon wrap is the best along with the tomato soup read more

Ain't She Sweet is always a hit. If you are ever in the Bronzeville or Hype park area it's a great place to go for lunch. I haven't had anything that I didn't like thus far! I've had the Jerk chicken bowl, jerk wrap, buffalo chicken wraps and I've been here many times. The shakes and smoothies are delicious. If I'm ever in the mood for cage food this is my go to place it's great! Beware if you go in around lunch time it maybe crowded! They have seating and the ambiance is really nice and laid back. The service is excellent. read more

Nice spot for coffee and conversation in the morning. Friendly service and good food for the money.

This is my favorite healthy option on the south side, or maybe even the city. This place has a family style vibe with extremely reasonable prices for very fresh and delicious food. Absolutely the best smoothies in Chicago hands down. I get the fresh fruit smoothie with pineapple and strawberries. The salad portions are huge, and there are so many options (rotating as well) and even more dressing options. The food is great to go, or to eat in as well. Even when busy they get the food to you very fast, and are accommodating if there's ever a reason for the wait time to be a little bit longer. I'd eaten inside and right outside I'd dropped my small smoothie, and with no problem I came back in and asked for another one and not only did they give me another one without charge but they gave me a bigger size and apologized for the wait! So sweet! They definitely live up to their name! read more

My fave place to do lunch during the week. My fave is Jamaican Jerk Chicken Wrap. There is ample seating and free street parking.

It's my first time to Chicago and I found this place in my Yelp search. I was looking for a quick bite to eat that would satisfy even the pickiest eaters. My friends came here for lunch. The staff was very friendly and our food came out quickly. I ordered a buffalo chicken wrap....the sauce was amazing!!! I will definitely be back!!! read more

Jerk chicken wrap and Buffalo chicken wrap are my go-tos. The Spinach Tomato Bisque has me in a chokehold.

Awesome place for a lunch meeting/work/chill spot! Reminded me of restaurants in Austin where you can overhear patrons discussing their goals for the local community and how they plan to make it happen. Super inspiring place, no wonder #44 endorsed it himself!!! Food is fresh, delicious, and healthy! There's cucumber water for free should you not choose the abundance of good drinks and smoothies. I chose a fresh fruit smoothie with peach and pineapple; highly recommend! There's cakes, pies and ice cream too! The jerk salmon wrap is SO GOOD and you can have a wheat or spinach wrap to go with it; it comes with Lays classic chips. The tomato spinach bisque soup- DAMN GOOD! I had to order a bowl to-go and I just finished the bowl as I'm typing this, now I'm sad, I need more! One thing to keep in mind is it will be packed during the lunch hour with to-go and dine-in customers so it's good to get here early if you can! Can't wait to go back & try the rest of the deliciousness! read more

Nice neighborhood cafe. The owner is usually in house. Tasty sandwiches with their own trademark. She has lots of turkey options(ham, bacon, etc). She also has a vegetarian sandwich and salads. The salads remind me of old fashioned diner style salads. Complimentary cucumber water while you wait. The décor is that of local artists whose work is for sale. There are several tables for seating if you plan to eat in. read more

The food is good. The service is bad. They don't answer the phone and then have an attitude then they do. Worth the wait? Maybe maybe not. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this complaint about the 43rd street location. ‍ read more

Food was amazing never had a spinach wrap before.The service was fast and friendly.Love the strawberry protein smoothie and comes in many flavors.The restaurant was nice and clean .My boyfriend to me there and I was very impressed. read more

The best wraps in Chicago! Salads are delicious too! Super friendly and helpful staff. Try it, you won't be disappointed!

Jerk wrap. Jerk salad. Jerk bowl. Anything that has "jerk", buy it. It's just that good. I am also addicted to their tomato and spinach bisque! I hope they never take it off the menu. It's usually busy at this location during lunch time, so if you know what you want, call in your order. read more

What a gem. Ain't She Sweet is nestled right in the heart of Bronzeville on a super small strip of businesses on 43rd. I was staying right around the corner and my host told me that if I needed a quick and relatively inexpensive bite, I should go there to grab a wrap. I wanted to do my research on the place before I forked out the cash and 90% of the reviews are either good or great so I had to try the place. According to most reviews, the Caribbean jerk is the meal to get so that is what I did. Along with the Caribbean jerk wrap (with the spinach tortilla) I received a bag of Lays, and I ordered a slice of the lemon pound cake. The wrap was light, fresh, made to order, and full of flavor. The jerk sauce gave the wrap a nice kick but the cheese softened most of that spice almost instantly. The onions and tomatoes were perfect sized pieces. The pound cake was somewhat of a let down. It tasted very old, and the texture was nowhere near the density of a pound cake. For that, I deduct 1 star. What I loved is that all of the workers and the owner(s) , are black. read more

This place was amazing. I ordered the Caribbean jerk chicken wrap and the food was incredible. The wrap is filling and chicken was fresh. I love it spicy and asked for extra sauce and they gave it to me without charge so they aren't the petty type. It comes with a pickle ( which tasted very fresh) and bag of potato chips. The restaurant was very clean and inviting. The customers seemed to enjoy themselves. Two separate lines for call ins and ordering. The wait to pay for your food took about five minutes but the chef asks you for your order soon as you step up so by the time you pay you have your food. This was PERFECT, cause I was on a quick lunch break! Overall in there for less than ten minutes. Staff was welcoming, patient( chef came around the counter to assist me in my order), polite, and all smiles. I will definitely be returning and bringing a friend! read more

Stopped for a quick takeout of the Jamaican jerk chicken salad wrap and it was delish! Really great flavor, definitely recommend. I did try to call to place the order in advance but the phone went to voicemail, but was able to just walk in and order. read more

I gave 4/5 stars only because my wait time was pretty long for two sandwiches, I would definitely say call ahead. Food was delicious and service was great overall. Definitely recommend read more

I always go for the blackened salmon salad and tomato bisque soup which are always fresh and good. The service is pretty quick and professional The ambiance is ok, kind of small with only a few tables to dine at. The prices are not to expensive. read more

Food is excellent. The problem is the service. THEY NEVER ANSWER THE PHONE FOR CALL IN ORDERS. In the restaurant the employees look at the customers with such disgust makes you want to say u want your money back. Did i mention they never answer the calls and the phone goes right to voicemail? Good food though although u have to be ready to substitute because they run out of stuff. Lastly they don't answer the phone for call in orders. read more

The food was delicious! Service was fast and exceeding my expectations considering how busy it was. Location is small but they are very well run business read more

Love the jerk wrap and a smoothie. It's important to order ahead if you don't want to wait. Customer service is great, I hope this business stays for years to come! read more

Cool place. My jerk chicken bowl was aight. My brother's jerk salmon salad was lackluster (his exact words) and it was most definitely frozen not fresh. The decor and employees were cool. I'd go back for a smoothie or something. read more

The smell of the jerk season was so overwhelming once you walked in to the restaurant. I got the jerk salmon salad with spinach and it definitely had a spice to it. The staff was friendly. They have a variety of sandwiches and panini's. read more

Great wraps and smoothies! I had the turkey club and a pineapple smoothie, which were both very filling. I'm also glad that this cafe is nearby my home, so it's good to know I don't have to go very far to get good eats. read more

I get practically the same thing every time....sweet potato pie !!!! Delicious! I'll be experimenting more soon

So I've been going to Ain't She Sweet for years. Actually, I met up with my now wife there for our first meeting so I really love this spot. A couple of weeks ago, I was heading home and my wife said that she was calling in a order for us and wanted me to pick it up. As I'm pulling up, she calls to say she was never able to get thru because the line was busy about 20 mins or so. I went in to order and I asked if they were having phone issues, the cashier was walking around looking for the phone and couldn't find it. Just now, I'm the one calling in the order and the young lady asked if Incan hold. After holding for 9:40s I hang up and call back. For the last 10 minutes, the line is busy. No Ain't She Sweet for me now. I'll think twice about going again. I can't ignore the fact that this is becoming a pattern. read more

I finally had chance to try Caribbean chicken spinach wrap and it was HEAVEN! I will definitely try other times on the menu.

Terrible customer service skills the owner is irrational and rude , she ignore complaints

My first time visiting after hearing about the cafe so many times and I was very pleased with the offerings and the customer service. The prices were decent. After pulling up & parking I looked at the video of the cafe on "Chicago Eats" and I ordered the jerk chicken on a spinach wrap. It was featured in the video. I asked for everything on it & the sauce on the side. I also ordered the tropical smoothie. Plenty of chicken, just enough of everything else except for the red onions; too heavy. The chicken was not too spicy the ingredients were fresh and the sauce wasn't the jerk sauce I expected, but it was tasty! The wrap came with a bag of chips. But the smoothie! It was the best smoothie I've had in a long time! It had strawberries, peaches, mangos & raspberry sherbert! I think it's my new favorite treat! I'm definitely taking a trip there to try more of their menu... read more

I always go and get the chipotle wrap. So bomb and always fresh. The jerk salad in the fridge is also good too if you like spicy food.

I really enjoyed the vegan jerk chikin sandwich. It was very filling, the vegan chikin was tender and the vegan Jerk Sauce was delicious. Had it with a side of chips. I wish they had more vegan items. They have a veggie sandwich and then salads. Both times I was there they said they often have vegan chili but both times they did not have it. It would be great if one of their soups was plant based when they offer two. Had a delicious iced maple and cinnamon latte with soy milk from Andy's Sunflower Cafe in the same space. Was really good too! Like the free self service lemon water! Some people may be confused that you have to order from two separate locations for the coffee drinks and food but once you do it once you are over it! Looking forward to going back again. Thanks for having vegan options vegans! read more

I love this place. A little pricey for a sandwich but I don't mind paying the price because these are no ordinary sandwiches and they will not disappoint. I usually get "Da Steve" sandwich which is my favorite and takes me a while to eat. I'll eat half and save the other half for later. I just tried the tomato spinach bisque today which was pretty good as well. I love "Sweet Dreams" shake which I share because it's so big. Check them out and support! read more
