Visited Chapel Street for brunch with a couple of friends. The menu is no-fuss and easy to pick from, exactly what you want for a weekend brunch. I went with the turkey club and fries. The portion was generous, the bacon crisped up well, and the whole thing came together better than a standard club usually does. The fries were the soft, soggy kind rather than crunchy, but somehow addictive, I kept reaching for them. Service was fine, and the space is roomy with plenty of seating, easy to settle in and talk over a long brunch. read more

Chapel Street - Classic Turkey Club - Cafes Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I've come to this restaurant 3 Sundays in a row. The first 2 visits were nice ~ the food was delicious and the service was good. Unfortunately today too many things were amiss, but most of all the service. The host was rude overall, but unfortunately this was eclipsed by the insolence of our server, who made comments during our very first interaction which were shockingly rude and uncalled for. In fact, I don't think I've ever been spoken to so rudely at a in my life. From reading other reviews, it seems this is the norm for this particular server. To their credit, it appeared that the restaurant was understaffed in terms of servers. However, it's unacceptable to speak to customers that way. Finally, there was an issue with the food. I ordered a beef pot pie with potatoes on the side. The potatoes came very quickly, and were delicious. Unfortunately the rest of my food and my dining partners' food did not arrive until at least 10 minutes later. I can understand that mixups happen, but I was annoyed because I could see that the rest of our dishes were sitting under the heating lamp but no one delivered them to our table for about 10 minutes. In the meantime, 2 tables near us who had arrived significantly after us, had already received all of their food and started eating. When I received my beef and gravy pie, it was dried out (having ordered this the past 2 visits, I knew it wasn't right). Based on this recent experience, I don't think I'd return. read more

Came in on a Sunday brunch. Not overcrowded and pleasant music inside. Service was good. Food was okay, but the Full Australian is probably best suited towards meat lovers :-). Coffee was the best! Pro tip: For parking use the valet at the Franciscan around the corner for $19 for 4 hours read more

I didn't even know this cafe existed as it tucked away in a corner. They have a lot of seating and decent food and coffee options. We got the falafel bowl, chicken sandwich and couple other food options and some lattes for the table. The service was fast, prices were reasonable and the portion sizes were decent too. read more

Really delicious breakfast, coffee, and pastries! Getting a table on a weekend morning can take a long time, but eventually we opted to sit at the bar and we got to order very quickly. The food came out really fast too! I absolutely loved my latte and the classic breakfast was perfect and filling. I got their fruit danishes to-go and those were also fantastic. Our server Izzy was the best! read more

I have come here to try the cafe twice and it's not my vibe. With the prices they have, you would assume that the coffee or options would be a little bit better. I need to come back and try the food here to give it a higher rating but the quality and prices of the drinks were not a fit for my taste. read more

The food was pretty good; the service not so much. Ordering a cocktail, we asked the server to make sure there was ony one ice cube; it came filled with ice. Service was slow despite it not being very full. We told her several times we had tickets to a 7 p.m. show. It still took about 30 minutes for dinner to arrive and wehad to rush through the meal. The food was fin, the service not so much. read more

Finally made it to Chapel Street, the Australian-style café I've been meaning to check out for a while, mostly because Australian food isn't something you see every day. I stopped in during a workday lunch while doing some Christmas shopping, and it was pretty empty, which made it easy to grab a seat at the bar. The bartender was super chill and took the time to walk me through the menu and explain the special. I ended up going with the Australian-style Chicken Parm, which came with a free beer. For under $30 total after tip, felt like an awesome deal. The Chicken Parm portion was huge and really good, and it came with fries and a side salad. Everything hit--fries were great, beer was great, salad was solid, and the service was excellent. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back, especially for more of a dinner sit-down vibe rather than just a solo lunch at the bar. Definitely worth checking out if you're curious about Chapel Street. read more

This is probably my favorite restaurant of 2025 of new places I've tried and it's almost the end of the year which is crazy!!!! Phenomenal food! TENS ACROSS THE BOARD! Staff was friendly! I had an amazing recommendation from (Tracy) I believe was his name not sure if I spelled it right. However the smash burger he recommended was indeed the best burger I've ever had! I also tried a mocha because they roast their coffee on goose island which is right in Chicago! Very delicious and unique, it was a perfect cup of coffee. Not too heavy which I like! When I come back I look forward to the friendly staff and more dishes to try as well as the coffee! Atmosphere was also very peaceful and cozy! Beautiful restaurant and amazing food! read more

Chapel Street is a charming, quaint restaurant connected to the Hilton Magnificent Mile Suites. I stopped in for a latte and a pastry and had a very nice experience. My Overall Rating - 3 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food) Atmosphere - Chapel Street is warm and welcoming. It's connected to the Hilton's bar, but it functions as its own restaurant. There are tables and bench seating, and it has modern décor. My Chapel Street's main attraction is the open kitchen. You can watch the expert team whip up your breakfast while you wait. 1 Star. Service - In my early Monday morning visit, Chapel Street hand a single server for a handful of customers, but there were no delays at all. Service was great and I had no issues. Heads up - they automatically add a 20% service charge to your bill. I think this is the "hotel tax". Good thing the service was great. 1 Star. Food - Full disclosure - I paid Chapel Street a visit for coffee because the coffee in my hotel room was NOT good. Good thing the latte I ordered was good. It was nice a smooth and even had some nice latte art. I paired it with a Kouign-Amann. The pastries are not made in house, because it was a bit cold (like it came from a fridge). However, it was delicious, flaky, and had the signature caramel flavor that paired perfectly with my latte. There's much more on the menu but for me, it was coffee and a pastry. 1 Star. Will I Return? - Probably not. I came here searching for good coffee in my hotel, while my visit was positive, it's only a one-time thing. I'm sure I can find similar or better options within a few blocks. No Star. read more

Chapel Street Cafe is conveniently located near my school, so I decided to finally check them out. They weren't very busy when I came on a Thursday afternoon, and the wait staff was very friendly. Unfortunately, their barista was not in, so I was not able to order any of their special seasonal drinks. I ordered a matcha latte and croissant. The cost was fairly standard (still overpriced but who isn't these days?), but the quality was pretty bad. The matcha just tasted like milk, and the croissant was incredibly dry. I ended up tossing out both after only a few sips / bites. The one plus is that I quite liked the ambiance. There was a lot of seating, and it seemed like it could be a good environment for studying. However, they're also a mix of waiter service and quick service, so it could be looked down upon--I'll have to assess if I choose to come back. read more

Loved the food, hated the service. Scrambled eggs on sourdough toast was perfect and I liked the breakfast potatoes. I also got their seasonal cardamom nut latte and they definitely have the ability to just do a cardamom latte without all the berries and nut flavorings, but they said they couldn't. The waiter also told me that the berry dust on top was just dust with no flavor when I asked to not have it on my latte and I said okay sure, but it had such a strong berry taste. Anyways my guy was just not having it. Also, for some reason we got our food after a bit and no coffees or drinks until we asked after we had gotten our food and then they made our drinks. tldr: service is a 1/5, food and drinks are a 4.5/5 read more

The best Detroit style pizza is found in Chicago!!! The sausage was to die for! The cold Guinness complemented the food. Cheers!

Chapel Street Café & Restaurant, located inside the Hilton Hotel Chicago Magnificent Mile on Delaware Street, is an absolute gem. The space offers both indoor and outdoor seating, and each option provides a delightful experience--charming, relaxed, and welcoming. The service was wonderful. Our server, Nelson, took excellent care of us, and the rest of the team was equally attentive and friendly. They made sure our evening was seamless and truly enjoyable. The food was outstanding. My husband ordered his favorite--Bolognese spaghetti--and was beyond happy with it. I chose the truffle mushroom risotto, which was rich, flavorful, and generously portioned (so much so that I was able to share some with him, much to his delight). To top it off, I enjoyed a pot of Jasmine tea that tasted like flowers--absolutely perfect for me. Chapel Street offers something for everyone, whether you're stopping in for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Their schedule makes it easy: * Breakfast: 7:00 AM - 1:30 PM * Lunch: 10:00 AM - 11:30 PM * Dinner: 5:00 PM - 8:30 PM * Happy Hour: 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM * Bar: open until 11:00 PM This spot is a wonderful choice for a casual meal, a date night, or simply enjoying a well-made dish in a lovely atmosphere. We'll definitely be back! read more

First off, if you're looking for amazing coffee prepared with the love and detail of an Australian Cafe, this is your spot. I'm only reviewing the coffee bar, not the restaurant/cafe side. I had no idea this was attached to the Magnificent Mile Hilton! I got one of the new fall seasonal drinks called "Frankly My Dear I Don't Give An Autumn." It's an Iced Espresso Tonic with Lime. It was stupendous! Perfectly tart with a slight sweetness. I'm usually a black coffee guy, but sometimes I can get taken out of my shell! My partner got a Flat White. It was stunning. The only other Flat White in the US I've had that compares with this one is at a NYC Australian Cafe called Little Collins. We tried a Kouign Amann as well. It was ok, I'd skip it next time. read more

Nice restaurant/bar near water tower. We came on a Friday evening to enjoy happy hour before dinner reservation at a nearby steakhouse. We wanted to try this happy hour out as it is on one of our apps that we like to use that offer 20% back when you use the app On this occasion, the bar wasn't it too crowded, but we were able to get a seat right at the bar and that was enjoyable. They had nice music playing the TV was really clear and not to overlord in general for the whole establishment. For happy hour, we got popcorn chicken, which was really good. We also tried the spinach artichoke dip. The dip it itself was OK, but it didn't seem like it was thoroughly warm in the middle, but the chips were really good and the flavor was basic. For drinks we did try a couple of different drinks. I'm mostly stuck to the happy hour red wine on this occasion it was an Australian red wine. My husband tried a couple different cocktails. He started with the hot and toddy which is not on the happy hour, but he enjoyed it as it warmed him up. Then he moved over to the espresso martinis that were on the happy hour, and those were very tasty. I will say that they make the espresso fresh right in front of you which makes for a really good espresso martini. I also tried the Cosmo and there wasn't anything too special about that, but it was well balanced, and I did like the tangy flavors that you got from the lemon. Overall, a solid happy hour venue if in the area we would entertain coming here again. Because it's an Australian restaurant they had some really interesting things on their dinner dining menu. To include kangaroo burgers. So that's something to look out for I will also note that they had a pretty good bakery pastry section, so it will be interesting to see what other people thought of actually dining in the restaurant. read more

Got a flat white and meat pie. On paper it's an average drink and bite but in practice it was great! Flat white was so smooth and flavorful. Prob the best flat white I've had in Chicago. The meat pie was really good too but just wish I got some ketchup for the full Aussie experience! Crust was flaky, filing has generous portions of meat, and it was filling! Want to come back again. read more

The food is excellent and the service is friendly. The vibe is very relaxed. Not loud at all.

First time at Chapel Street for breakfast. Matcha lattes and Coffee lattes were both strong and not sweet despite adding vanilla. The quiche was good, but needed to be warmed up longer. My friend is allergic to dairy and unfortunately, she received her latte with dairy milk instead of oat. She originally ordered the potatoes, but also could not get those due to cross contamination. We paid our bill, but luckily looked at it before we left. We were charged for the potatoes and dairy latte. They apologized & were able to refund us for the items. At that point they should have discounted our bill considering we thought we were going to need to go find an epi pen due to them bringing us the wrong latte for my dairy allergic friend. read more

We had a party of 8 for dinner here and they easily accommodated us for a birthday weekend! The plush seating made it a cozy dining experience. They had a large selection for coffee and teas that was tempting. I loved the Fettuccine Alfredo with Mushrooms and ate every bite! We tried some beers are really enjoyed the Guava sour they had on tap. They even brought out a tiramisu with a candle for the birthday girl which was very sweet! Cute little spot I will definitely check out again for coffee! read more

Came in for dinner with a colleague. Had a long day travelling and the server asked where we want to sit, and I just said somewhere comfy. He gave us a table with a big comfy leather couch (thank you!) Ordered some drinks, apps, and dinner, I had a prickle pear mule (I forgot its name) and we shared a charcuterie board. Really solid cheeses and meats. I had the lamb rack, medium. The lamb was delicious, but the polenta was a bit oversalted. Overall, great experience and I would come back! read more

Laksa $22 I was quite disappointed . It was basically a small bowl of soup with 2 shrimps.... The soup only had a small handful of rice noodles... they wanted to charge me 20% service fee including my take out which I thought was absurd... it made me a little uneasy having to ask it to be taken off.... It's a cafe not a Michelin star restaurant ... read more

2/1/2026 Has lunch from the Chicago Restaurant Week menu, and it was amazing. The soup of the day was potato leek and artichoke, and it was very tasty. It was made with chicken stock, but the bartender said the next batch would be made with vegetable broth. The Kangaroo Burger was tender and juicy. I asked for it to be medium well, and it was. I expected much more of a game flavor. The patty was soft. The patty was very lean and tasted slighty different than a beef or bison burger. And the dessert? The Affagota - vanilla ice cream and expresso, was the perfect ending to this meal. I highly recommend you hit this restaurant and try to catch their Chicago Restaurant week menu before it disappears. read more

Stopped by one weekend for a mocha and a sausage roll. Both items were good, and I could definitely see myself craving the sausage roll again. It had perfectly flaky pastry and was seasoned well. There's an interesting vibe in the cafe since it's connected to a hotel, and I was initially worried that it would get a lot of hotel guest traffic and be a bit loud and chaotic. In reality it was pretty nicely separated, and the ambiance inside was pretty quiet and relaxed, with small tables and bar seating available. They also have a nice TV that they were showing March Madness on, so I could see this as a great space for catching sporting events with friends and eating something a bit better than your usual bar food and drink. Prices are a little steep, but it is in a schmancy area right near the MCA. The sausage roll was pretty big, too, so I could somewhat justify paying $11 for it. Would definitely come back to try more yummy-looking pastries and other items on the menu! read more

If you're in the river north area def would recommend stopping by here. You can get cocktails and coffee. Plenty of seating so if you want to dine in or grab something to go. The staff members taking our orders recommend the spinach and feta quiche when I asked which was his favorite. It was a delicious recommendation. The decor is nice here too and it took us little to no time for us to get our coffee. read more

Charming, low-key spot with a neighborhood feel that belies its location in the Hilton Hotel. I don't recall what was in the space prior to Chapel Street opening, but this location was crying out for happy hour options for meetups or solo drink at the bar. The timings are generous, as happy hour is from 4-6 pm and includes Saturdays. Every drink I have enjoyed has been impeccable. So far, on separate occasions, I have sampled the white wine, classic vodka martini, and lemon drop martini. I look forward to trying the espresso martini, as that is offered as part of the happy hour deal. The wines are decent, but the cocktails are the best. The bruschetta and happy hour oysters are delicious as well. On top of the happy hour pricing, I was also given a neighborhood discount. It appears there are regulars who stay at the hotel and who are greeted by name. This high degree of personalization speaks to the premium this establishment places on customer relations and will keep me coming back for more. read more

I was seeking a caffeine pick me up when in the area and stopped in Chapel Street. The staff was very nice and quickly tended to us at the counter. Chapel Street has a restaurant in case you're seeking to stay and enjoy a sit-down meal. However, my group just partook in their coffee bar. The matcha was very tasty but lacking ice. On a warm Chicago day, the ice melted so fast. I took my beverage to go or I would have asked for more ice. read more

Amazing food ! Great casual, fun but slightly upscale vibe. Pumpkin took great care of us. Highly recommend for dinner and breakfast!

I would say it's a solid 3.5/5. The pastries and coffee are just okay. It's located in the Hilton, so most of the tables are taken by those staying in the hotel. We tried the: - Sausage Roll 8/10 - Dragonfruit Croissant 7/10 - Cinnamon Morning Bun 7.5/10 - Mocha Latte 7.5/10 - Flat White 7/10 There was nothing wrong with anything we had, but there was nothing mind blowing. The sausage roll was pretty good, but also a little pricy for what you get ($11.00). The staff was friendly and always going around checking on tables. The coffee did take a while, so if you're on the run just be aware of that. read more

George completely hooked us up with excellent service and late night treats! Much Thanks!

Unsurprisingly, there aren't a lot of Australian restaurants in Chicagoland, so I was excited to try this Australian-style café recently. At Chapel Street, we had the Melbourne Hot Jam Donuts ($9 for 4) and a Caramel Latte ($5.50), Beans on Toast (traditional Aussie baked beans served with sourdough toast and two eggs your way), and Full Milk Pancakes (fluffy pancakes topped w/ poached pears, vanilla mascarpone, and drizzled w/ real maple syrup). I try to look at online menus in advance to get an idea of the cost of a restaurant before deciding to go there. Upon reviewing my receipt at home, I realized there are a couple of price discrepancies compared to their online menu information. I was charged $18 for the Beans on Toast. On their website and on the PDF menu, it lists the price at $16. I was charged $16 for the Full Milk Pancakes. The PDF menu lists these at $13.50, and the website lists them at $15. I do think the prices we paid match what is on the actual restaurant menu in person, but I wouldn't expect there to be so many pricing differences depending on what source you're looking at - especially for a place that hasn't been open very long. We were waiting in the front for an awkward couple of minutes before we got seated. We weren't given menus right away, so we were pulling this information up on our phones. We were greeted by one server and then ultimately ended up with a different person. He did explain that they were a bit busy and still kind of getting their feet under them. Service started off a bit slow, but we weren't waiting terribly long for our food. I ordered a mocha at first, but they were out of cocoa powder. My latte was fine, but they do charge an extra $1 to add flavor. I wasn't asked how I wanted my eggs with my meal, and honestly, they looked a bit unappetizing. read more

Review by: Avila.Eats on TikTok, insta, and YouTube Service: our waitress Kass was incredible friendly, understanding, and talkative. Water was kept full and overall service made for a great lunch. Patient with my 2 year old as well. Ambiance/Atmosphere: inside is a lovely spacious cafe setting. The couches are so comfortable and this is one of the most relaxed and Comfortable meals I've ever had. Really nice spot for a casual lunch/breakfast/brunch Food: 1. Fairy bread was a soft white bread with butter and sprinkle. Rich buttery flavor with the sweet sprinkles adding a nice crunch. Fun and unique snack. I'd recommend 2. Chapel burger with the lot is juicy tender and full of flavor. The beets and pineapple add a sweet tang while the eggs and juicy patty keep it rich and umami. The bacon adds a salty meaty flavor and the bun is soft and slightly sweet with a Great flavor. I'd highly recommend. 3. Chicken Parma is delicious. Taste like a chicken parm but thicker cut. The sauce is sweet and it's cheesy. Well seasoned and flavorful crispy chciken. I'd recommend. 4. Banana bread has a sweet strong banana flavor. No nuts but the streusel top adds that nice crunch. This is a fantastic banana bread. I'd insist 5. Blueberry danish has a crispy buttery flaky shell. The blueberry compote is sweet with a natural blueberry flavor but not sickly sweet. The sugar crumbs add a crunch and subtle flavor. I'd recommend. 6. Breakfast burrito has soft scrambled eggs with a perfect melted cheese. The pico and avacado adds a bright flavor while the avacado is creamy and fatty. The tortilla is nicely toasted and still chewy. The bacon is crispy and adds a nice salty meaty flavor. I'd recommend. 7. Kangaroo burger has that same really good bun with beets and pineapple adding a nice sweetness and the lettuce giving a good crunch. The patty is gamey and dense. Chewy and an obvious difference from beef being so lean and having very little fat. I'd recommend giving it a try. 5 read more

We were seated immediately, but we had to dodge and ask people to scoot in their chairs. Led to a small table, noted open tables not bussed, food scattered all over floor the floor. Children crying, running around. Now seated, we were poured warm water. Large group exited next to us and the table after 10 minutes was still not bussed. So, I mentioned 10 minutes earlier,yes, at the 10 mins mark, no coffee, no wait staff. Hostess and wait staff where standing around laughing, no movement from any of them to go to ANY table an check or bus. We got up and left. Not a good fit for this neighborhood. read more
