I live in Albany Park and when they opened this cute cafe I could not wait to try it! When in person dining was finally back in Chicago I took my sister and mom to give them a try. AMAZING! The service, the food, the atmosphere. We ordered up front and our food was brought to us in a timely manner. We ordered the mazapán crepe, the breakfast burrito, churro cheese cake, torta ahogada, Nutella strawberry crepe, and chilaquiles. Everything was fresh and tasted amazing. My sister tried the horchata latte and my mom and I tried the seasonal water, which was cucumber lemonade. In times where we should support our small businesses, this one is defined worth it! read more

I had the worst experience here, me and my friend ordered a chicken breakfast skillet we get our food when I took the first bite I knew they gave me the wrong order... I don't eat pork so the taste of it immediately let me know that wasn't chicken they had served me a carnitas skillet when I told the waitress and she went back to the manager, the manager came back out and said I was mistaken and it was chicken.... Couldn't have been when me and my friend got the same dish and hers looked and tasted just like chicken mine was completely different texture and RED she argued that was just the way it was seasoned. We had a whole argument back and forth about it. I still paid for the food because its not about paying for the food it's about the quality or respect and service provided. read more

I've walked by this cafe so many times, but never really went in and sat down there until today. I've ordered their lavender latte to go a few days ago and it was really good! I tried their seasonal rose latte iced and with oat milk today and I really liked it. The rose flavor wasn't too overpowering & added a nice hint of sweetness! The interior of the cafe is also really cute and it was a great place to sit down & have some alone time. Anyway, if you're looking for a nice cafe with good coffee in the Albany Park area, definitely check this place out! read more

This place is a cute little café in a cute little neighborhood. I got a vanilla latte and a breakfast platter. Everything was delicious but I will say that the interior could use a little bit more pizzazz. That may be a bit superficial to say though. There were a lot of families there having breakfast and lunch. I don't think that I would use this as a place to get work done per se because it is very busy and it seems as though a lot of people come not only for coffee and tea but to eat as well. Overall though I definitely would come back as everything that I had was delicious. read more

In a city that has ample Mexican or Mexican-inspired culinary options, Dulce De Leche Cafe's fantastic flavors, diverse menu, and welcoming ambiance help it stand out among the crowd. The chilaquiles I ordered was among the best I've had - an incredible blend of fresh flavors. Although I was feeling full, I took a risk and ordered the Sabroso crepe afterward - wow, no regrets!!

Ever since I've been working remotely since the onset of the pandemic, I've been checking out a variety of cafes to work from. I absolutely love working from here. The food and drinks are incredible! I haven't had a single thing I didn't like. The cafe is located a block west from the Kimball Brown Line stop, making it easy to get to. While I wish they had bike parking, I put in a request with the city to install a bike rack in front of their entrance. Fingers crossed. Their food and drinks really do look and taste as good as they seem online. The presentation of the sandwiches and drinks is always on point. Not to mention, they bake their bread and make everything from scratch! Also, I appreciate that they play Latin music as it's relatively uncommon for cafes in my experience. Hands down, enthusiastically recommend. Locally owned by a family who have a unwavering commitment to quality food, drinks, and service. So grateful they're in the neighborhood! read more

This place is decent, but they are rarely open on time. I've come here 4 separate times hoping to get coffee and they just aren't open. The internet says they open at 7 am. Then I saw they had changed the time to 8:00 am (sign on their doors) and now they took off the sign. So I came at 8 am today and they weren't open. It's the one of the few local spots to get a coffee and now I have to go to Starbucks! It's very disappointing. read more

Went in with my 5 kids (2x teens and 3x littles) + the hubbs. Such a wonderful family owned restaurant. The owners are also those serving. Let me tell you, THEY TAKE PRIDE IN DISCUSSING THE FOOD. I love to see their heart for the many different varieties they speak about. Not to mention they have a demeanor that embodies the feels of "home" alongside genuine smiles and joy. So about the food! SO GOOD! These are the items my family and I enjoyed and ordered. We had an all out happy mouth tasting party here alongside some fun convos. (Dulce de Leche will supply you the food - the good convos are up to you ) - Chilaquiles Platter: My tribe has traveleddddd and these CHILAQUILES are as close to having them in the great nation of Mexico. Soooo good! (FYI: They are NOT spicy. You can ask for added spice ) - Bagel Lox: The dill cream cheese is super fresh and should be sold on its own it's so good! The salmon is prepared with a Japanese method that melts in your mouth. The salmon is extremely fresh and not mushy at all. MUST HAVE! - Breakfast Sandwich: So big. Which we cannot complain about. LOL. - Breakfast Burger: 3x of my kids had this and they thoroughly enjoyed the egg over a burger and it was so good! - Horchata Latte: UM WHAT!?! Whoever thought about this was a genius! I'm not Mexican but love a good horchata. Ummmmm they added coffee y'all! Who does that? Fresh and hit the spot. I could have had this for a dessert on its own. - Nutella Latte: on my part. But one of my kids, who is not into super sweet things ordered it. He thought it was okey. But if you are a chocolate or Nutella lover - you are going to really enjoy this. - Dulce de Leche Latte: Creamy and perfect. They served a huge cup of this and I had a hard time finishing it off as I literally tasted everyone's food plus ate my own. - Cucumber Lemonade: Okey y'all! This needs to be sold IN STORES! The most refreshing summer drink I've had to date this year. My kids loved it. I loved it. And I'm sure you will too. This is my entire review. Sorry it was forever long. Yet this is definitely a place to take time and peruse your tastebuds over. Look, if you are not akin to different types of foods, I suggest you stop by and try. XOXOXO - Cynthia read more

I liked the iced horchata latte, though I think it could've tasted a bit more horchata-y. Maybe the hot version is better. I had the blueberry muffin and it was tasty but I think the baking was off because in mine the center was still a bit uncooked and all my blueberries fell to the bottom of the cupcake. It's a big cupcake though, so not bad for the price. Overall, it's a beautiful place and I'd be willing to go there again. read more

I got mine iced (as per usual) and with oat milk and it was great! Ryan got a dulce de leche latte and it was so good! We also got breakfast sandwiches, sausage on jalapeño cheddar and lox bagel on the same. I love that they make their own bagels, although the jalapeño cheddar didn't have much spice to it.

I don't write many reviews. I had to write this one. Probably the best take out food I have had since ummmm 2019! Let's start with the beet salad. Beautiful fresh beets, sliced sweet grapefruit with goat cheese and pecans on a bed of arugula. Whaaat?? In Albany Park?? Yes sir! Then I had the lentil soup. Delicious. I might need the recipe. Last I had the bagel lox sandwich with jalapeño cheddar bagel, cured salmon, avocado and dill cream cheese. And a few more ingredients. The combination was amazing. So fresh. My BF had the breakfast sandwich. Which he loved. He said "oh babe, we are going back there" and he doesn't say that very often. Dulce de Leche was clean, friendly, quick, and just delicious.

I was passing by few times next to the coffee shop and today I stopped in to grub vanilla latte. It took them a little bit longer then as usual probably around five minutes to make it, however the coffee was delicious and I liked the taste. The associates serving the coffee were very friendly polite and kind. It looked like they have been enjoying working in that place. They were wearing masks as I am very concerned about coronavirus situation and social distancing was provided. Plenty of space inside with limited parking in front of the coffee shop but probably this is to very busy street. Next time while I'm around I will definitely try something ales from this location.

The outside had a light coating of sugar that gave it just the right amount of sweetness without being too much. Once I bit into it, the inside was soft, airy, and slightly chewy from the sourdough, which made it different from a regular donut. There was a subtle tang from the sourdough that balanced the sweetness really well, so it never felt overly sugary.

I know it sounded silly, but I enjoyed chewing these coconut flakes and they were good palate cleansers! The presentation was da bomb as well. The only reason that I couldn't give five stars to "Stockyard" was limited seating. The place was super cute, but there were only 3 tables and less than 4 high chair seating against the windows, plus some outdoor seating on the pedestrian walkway. The laptop users were respectfully directed to sit at the windows and outlets were available. The baristas were friendly and knowledgeable. I asked the details of the latte flight and they explained the offerings. I thought there was only one type of latte flights, but I believe the one I selected was very much suited to my preferences. "Stockyard Coffeehouse" is accessible via routes CTA 44 (Racine/Wallace) and CTA 8 (Halsted) busses. It's great to have a reliable indie coffeeshop in the neighborhood like this, so keep up the good work!

Although the prices are very reasonable, you could come here everyday...BTW, make sure to bring cash as it's cash only. I really love coming here after a meal because the buns are soft, light, airy, and sweet. Thus far, my favorites are: - egg custard topping with a red bean filling and - the coconut bun with whipped creme Wow, those are really good but do try their other offerings and determine your own favorite item. I have to try their Argyle location to see if they're consistently great!! Oh, one more thing, there is a ledge by the window where you can eat quickly whilst standing up but it can get very crowded in there. Xie xie Chiu Quon!!

I got the hazelnut cappuccino and a turtle cookie and they were both phenomenal So worth making the trek out of your way for, i'd highlyyyy recommend!

Extremely disappointing experience at Honey Berry. As a…read morefirst-time visitor to Chicago during Juneteenth weekend, I was looking forward to breakfast here, but the experience fell far short of expectations. Service Issues:The service was inattentive throughout the meal, and concerns were not adequately addressed when brought to the staff's attention. Basic items such as water, napkins, and straws took an unreasonable amount of time to arrive, with water alone taking more than 10-15 minutes. Food Quality Issues:The food and cleanliness were equally disappointing. I requested extra crispy bacon in my omelet, but the bacon was undercooked and appeared raw. Both coffee cups also arrived dirty, with dried coffee residue inside, raising concerns about cleanliness and attention to detail. Closing Takeaway:Adding to the frustration, gratuity was automatically included despite the poor service. I rarely leave reviews, but I hope management uses this feedback to improve service standards, food quality, and overall guest experience. But I will never visit again!!

Saint Anna is a traditional Hong Kong-style bakery and café offering authentic, high-quality…read moreproducts at very reasonable prices. Before the pandemic, we used to visit every weekend. Our family and extended family often ordered birthday cakes from them, and their mango cake was our favorite. When mangoes were in season, they used plenty of fresh mango in the cakes. Their cakes are always fresh, light, fluffy, and not too sweet. My daughter and I also love their individual cakes, especially the Black Pearl and Walnut Cake. Their pineapple buns and egg tarts are her favorites as well. Saint Anna has also been part of our daughter's childhood. When she was little, my husband used to bring her here before or after Chinese school in Chinatown on Sundays. Her go-to breakfast items were the Butter Bun, Ham and Macaroni in Soup, and Diced Ham and Corn in Cream Rice. As she got older, Curry Chicken with Potato became her favorite. She especially loved the potato cubes soaked in the delicious, mild curry sauce. She would always ask for more potatoes and less chicken, haha! Saint Anna is a family-run business, and Sara and Irene, the daughters-in-law, used to take care of the front of house. They were always so friendly and accommodating. After a 6-year hiatus, we finally returned one Friday recently when we happened to be in the area with a friend. Sara is now a co-owner, and it was wonderful to see her again. She immediately recognized us and was so warm and welcoming. She even asked me to relay her greetings to my sisters when she greeted us and again when we were leaving. Those little gestures made our return feel especially meaningful. We were still full from a big dim sum lunch, so my daughter picked up 2 Mini Pineapple Buns and 2 Paper-Wrapped Sponge Cakes, while I got a Red Bean Roll. Everything was fresh, soft, and delicious, and the total came to just under $8, really a great value. Our friend also purchased 2 Fried Sticky Rice Dumplings with Chicken. I had never really paid attention to their limited dim sum selection before, so that was a nice discovery. We love Saint Anna and will definitely be back whenever we're in the area.

We ordered 3 coffee drinks (regular coffee, cold brew, and a latte), 3 food items, and a pastry. Nothing fancy or unusual. Bill was over $90!!! The food items were $15 and under each. So coffee, pastry, and tax was $45? Way too much. Cute but we'll never go back at those prices. UPDATE I appreciate your quick response and did as you instructed. Also we did see the prices on the menus while at your restaurant as shown above. I don't have the receipt so I looked up the prices on your website: Breakfast sandwich $14.99 Torta Ahogada $15.99 French Toast Bread Pudding $14.99 Pistachio Croissant $4.99 Pistachio Latte $5.50 Cold Brew $4.75 Drip Coffee (16oz) $3.99 Total $65.20 Tax 10.25% is $6.68 New total $71.88 Assumed credit card surcharge 3% is $2.16 New total $74.04 We did leave a tip and I don't remember how much we left but the at least 15% for counter service. So assume $9.78 for pretax amount. New total $83.82, with assumptions. Somehow the actual bill was over $90 with everything included. Maybe I'm missing something, an extra fee or tax. But that is still too high for three sandwiches, three coffee drinks, and a pastry. Like I said, the food and service were fine. Just not $90 worth. Given your tone in your response, I still won't be returning to your place. Good luck with your restaurant.
