I went with an iced peppermint tea and it was very refreshing. I also tried the guava and cream cheese pastry and my goodness this was insanely delicious. The pastry dough is crispy, flakey and fluffy. The guava jam and cream cheese was sweet and not overly sweet. I stopped in on a weekend morning and throughout my time here there was a constant flow of customers coming and going. Staff members were able to keep up with the influx of weekend customers. Within 5 minutes of placing my order my items were ready to be picked up at the front counter.

This one really resonated with me!

My friends also ordered spinach pie and said they hadn't had such a good one in a long time. The guys who work there are very kind and pleasant. Overall, everything was truly wonderful.

It was extra chewy, dry, and absolutely tasteless. The lox was forgettable. The cream cheese was good, but that was it. Add on a very long wait time for a line that wasn't very long and less than friendly service and that leads to this low review. The only perk was the parking lot and arriving early on a Wednesday left ample parking. Will definitely try out another option next time we want bagels.

Since we wanted to try several dishes, we politely asked if we could sit at a larger table. Unfortunately, our request was refused, even though there were plenty of larger tables available. As first-time customers, we expected a more welcoming experience. It was disappointing to feel like our request was inconvenient when the restaurant was barely busy. We ended up leaving with a very negative first impression.

It's also not good looking inside, so it's not the typical coffee shop to stay at a long time. Cafe Utjeha has been around quite a while yet many people don't know about it. Has pretty good products as far as coffee at affordable prices. The service was friendly at least from the barista, while the men are kind of just there it seems. A reason why many haven't known about this place is because of where it actually is. It's easy to miss it because there's not much going on. This is north of Lincoln Square, where there's a lot more hip stuff. Clean interior, at least as far as you can see because it's dimly lit. It's not that welcoming compared to a typical coffee shop. At least the female barista was friendly. The men who worked there didn't interact. As far as the coffee, it's good. It's about $3 for most things. Has some non dairy milks. There's some pastries like this flaky thing kind of like baklava, or you can get something healthier like an orange. Basic stuff in this small cafe. It's kind of like being in Turkey or some Eastern European type of place with music. There wasn't that much of a smoke smell as there had been previously.

So my suggestion is they get some photos taken or make a few sandwiches wrapped and ready to grab n go. Make one of each and see what sells. I'd use sandwiches as a way to bring in customers who will then purchase a pastry or cookie.. or come back when they need something sweet. sorry, no photos... pastries were gone too fast and they were delicious.

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.
