NEIGHBORHOOD GEM!!…read more Popped in for a Horchata latte and a breakfast sandwich. Both were stand out stellar! The coffee: Chicago's own DARK MATTER coffee is served here. Which -my opinion - is GREAT coffee. I love it, and this will bring me back again and again for coffee here. The Horchata latte was delicious and smooth. It was a bit sweet, but I expected that, 'cos Horchata. Very tasty! Breakfast sandwich. SO GOOD. Sausage, cheese, egg and tomato! With some breakfast potatoes on the side - everything was very tasty. If you get hooked on the Dark Matter coffee, as I am, and want to buy bags of it, he can order it for you. My only complaint is they don't open until 8:30 on some weekedays. I'm out the door at 7 AM, they might catch more of the morning commuter crowd if they open a little earlier. I'll be happy though, to visit them on weekends at any rate. I was going to Sip & Savor, and still love them, their coffee is great. Their food options, however, are not as good as DdL - the fresh made breakfast sammiches at Dulce, are DELICIOUS.

I had lunch with a friend at Dulce de Leche next to the Bryn Mawr "L" Station and for the most part…read moreI liked it. The manager was very helpful with the menu items. We both ordered "My Favorite Chicken Sandwich" which included Cabbage salad, radish, scallions, spicy mayo, and spinach. I liked it but when I lifted up half of the Croissant roll the chicken was puny. I asked the manager don't you think that there isn't that much chicken on the sandwich? He said no because it's a Chicken Thigh? It didn't say Chicken Thigh on the menu. So, if you're used to a Nashville type chicken sandwich this may not be your kind of place. Everything on the sandwich was really good including the croissant roll and all of the ingredients. I'd go back and order something different I liked their Iced Tea. It was very good.

The first thing I look for at a breakfast spot is flavored creamer. They delivered! The next is a variety of both savory and sweet items - another check! The reason for the above is because I like a little bit of both for my breakfast order. As such, I got the 2-2-2 Special: 2 pancakes (or waffles), 2 pieces of sausage (or bacon), and 2 eggs. My boyfriend went for the meat lovers skillet! The food came out quickly and the servers were very attentive at filling up our coffee cups, which we appreciated. It was also affordable as far as breakfast spots go, so I look forward to returning. Can't wait to become regulars here :)

Parking took a minute but there is quite a bit of street parking on…read moreLincoln Ave. walked in, 5 of us, and immediately liked the calm decor, urban textures, ambiance was nice with music. (Needs something more like a monitor or something) but very nicely decorated with different areas to be seated. Immediately, the owner, Roberto took our order. I like that they have two menus, breakfast and lunch, and kept it short and sweet. The black tea, loved it. Usually, restaurants do teabags, and I really appreciated the tea leaves. Makes a difference. The bbq burger, 5 stars. Both kids loved it. Excellent burger. Handmade. Props to the chefs. The Luna burger, also great. 5 stars from my son. The sauce was similar to the sauce on a big Mac, but he said way better. I had the tuna sandwich, sourdough, very good needed just a little seasoning in it. Maybe a tad salt and pepper. But I did like peas in it. Nice touch. After we finished, the owner came over to chat, very nice, learned a lot about how he started and what his vision was. Will definitely come back. Best burgers I've had in Illinois.

The ambiance was pleasant and the place is bright and inviting there are tables and booths available. It is handicapped and stroller accessible. Now to the food!!! Delicious, hot, fresh out the pan, well seasoned and wonderful portion sizes. We ordered the classic French toast which hubby said it was good enough to eat without syrup. My oldest (11h had the Oreo French toast and said it was better than good! The Oreo cream on top was his fave! I had the blue your own breakfast with gas over hard, bacon and pancakes! Listen ihop has NOTHING on how good these pancakes were. Crispy edges, buttery and golden brown! Food was baby approved as my picky toddler ate without hesitation everything he was offered! They were so kind to our family and when they had extra chicken tenders from and order they brought them out to my kids for free. Finally I tried a new drink on the menu pictured below! It was an Auga Fresca with apple and lemonade and came with the cutest flower garnish! Delicious and refreshing. I can't say enough about this gem! We will be coming back! Like tomorrow! I highly recommend if you're visiting Chicago to check them out! You will not be disappointed!

We also got the Reuben - the 1000 island dressing was not overpowering, there was plenty if turkey, and the sourdough was also so good! Vegan Sandwiches: The vegan BLTA was very yummy according to our vegan friends - they said the seitan was nicely seasoned and the garlic aoili was really good. They also opted into getting a bagel with vegan cream cheese + the basil pesto. The coffee was great! The ube latte was a little sweet for my liking but the espresso they use is great.  The service was quick and the server was super nice/chill! The cafe itself has about 10ish tables and can be a great space to catch up with a friend or WFH with outlets around. Shout out to the early 2000s throwbacks that were playing in the background!
