    This a small cute cafe at the edge of Gold Coast and river north. The menu is very middle eastern inspired. The seating is ample and the menu looked exciting.You have to order at the kiosk and they bring your order to the table. The service isn't great though and the staff seemed a bit unfriendly. We ordered the Dubai chocolate iced latte and the star flatbread. Our order took ages! The Dubai chocolate latte was totally worth the wait though. It was chocolate, nutty and they didn't skimp on the nuts or the chocolate. The Zatar flatbread was a bit of a letdown, they overcooked it and it was too difficult to take a bite out of and although the seasoning was there, it lacked salt. Taking two stars off for the super slow service and the zatar flatbread. I will definitely be back for the Dubai chocolate latte!

    Nutella knafeh
    Anita P.

    The pastries a bit in the higher end price-range wise, but also super rich and shareable. I got the nutella knafeh and really enjoyed the creamy chocolate flavor and bite on the knafeh filling. Super cozy spot overall and great stop for dessert

    Egg & Cheese on a Croissant with Turkey Sausage
    Erica B.

    Cute place with really nice staff! The brown sugar latte was good too! I got the egg and cheese sandwich on a croissant and added turkey sausage and chipotle mayo. The croissant was really good a buttery but the sausage was really small and I didn't love the flavor. Would probably try the turkey bacon instead next time.

    You can't beat $1.00 coffee in River North/Streeterville. The cafe looks like it has pretty good food and other coffee options, which I plan on trying next time.

    Lotus Biscoff iced latte
    Cass M.

    Service was quick! I got the Rush St. chicken sandwich and swapped ranch for chipotle mayo! Lotus biscoff cookie latte did not disappoint. Would recommend to a friend

    So good the kunafa is 9/10 and the holy land chocolate is so yummy with coffee i highly recommend it

    I came here for breakfast on a Sunday with a friend! I got the avocado toast with two eggs and picked onions. It tasted filling and fresh! There's cozy seating with couches and benches. Lots of sunlight. The food came out quick too.

    Plain bagel, egg and cheese

    This is a great local spot for a good deli sandwich or breakfast sandwich. I tried the Division sandwich and they said that's their most popular. The service was great and the place is very clean. Def recommend if you're staying in the neighborhood.

    What a place. This is so much more than just a coffee house. Tons of options, great ambience, and…read moregenuinely kind people. We started with a mocha, a solid, well-balanced drink that wasn't overly sweet and was just perfect. We didn't plan on eating here, but the menu was way too tempting. We ordered the cinnamon roll, and wow. This was insanely good. Most cinnamon rolls in the U.S. feel like sugar-heavy, cinnamon-flavored buns, but this one was light, flavorful, and beautifully made. The irimshik on top really elevated it, subtle, warm, and just sweet enough. Easy 10/10. Next was the cottage cheese pancake, which was also very good. It had a generous amount of cottage cheese stuffed inside, and paired with the sweet irimshik dip, the dish came together really well. 9/10. We then tried the qattama. It was good. flaky, crispy, and reminded me of a paratha. It came with a sour irimshik dip. While each component was good, I felt the qattama would shine more with a gravy-based dish. 7/10. Finally, we ordered the Nan Salma pasta. It's a tarry-based white sauce pasta with a unique flavor profile, and it was genuinely yum. Definitely something different and worth trying. Highly recommend it. 8/10. You have space to sit down and work as well. Service was good too. Some of the dishes might take 7-10mins to get prepared. It's not like your daily coffee shop who have stuff ready to go Overall, a great spot with unique food and a welcoming vibe. Definitely coming back. 9/10

Hella busy, the staff was semi-helpful while I was trying to decide what to order--not rude, just not super engaging either. I ended up settling on a latte, which... whew. $8 for what felt like a few swallows. The cup was hella small, so that part definitely hurt a little. Menu isn't substantial. Despite how packed it was, I was able to take a meeting without too much trouble--shoutout to my noise-canceling headphones, because they were doing the heavy lifting. The space itself is on the smaller side, so if you're planning to camp out for a while, just know it can feel tight. The bathroom could've used a little attention. Nothing major, and maybe expected with a lot of people. Overall, it's a decent stop if you need coffee and a place to sit for a bit, especially in a pinch. Just be prepared for crowds, limited space, and pricey drinks that disappear way too fast.

Warm in the right way. The financier was great. Nutty from the almonds, little bursts of blueberry, soft but not mushy. I dipped it into the hot chocolate (had to), and yeah... even better. No regrets there. It's a small place, but if you get there early, you might grab a seat with a really nice city view. Worth it. I'll definitely be back. Especially now that I know there's a solid hot chocolate spot right nearby.

Too Good To Go is a program that allows businesses to sell left over food at the end of the day on discount, avoiding food waste. For lunch I had an Americano, the vegetarian egg sandwich and a Margherita Bistro, which is like a cross between a margherita pizza slice but in a latticed pastry. Both the Americano and egg sandwich were actually excellent, while the Margherita Bistro was less noteworthy but fine. Actually when I looked up Margherita Bistro, wanting to learn if it's a common thing and it turns out that it's made by a food service company (Bridor, owned by French Groupe Leduff which supplies baked goods to cafés all over Europe). I got two cake slices later in my Too Good To Go order. The strawberry cheesecake (Monteressa cheese cake, made with marscapone, ricotta and fresh strawberries) was delicious while the carrot cake was not as good but still fine. It turns out that the Monteressa cheesecake is made by another big supply company (Bindi) that supplies Italian desserts. Coffee appears to be from Illy. I'd definitely recommend Café Crèmerie for their good coffee, excellent egg sandwich, and nice atmosphere. I'm also giving Café Crèmerie 4/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact, based on the following: * First I'll get into the mediocre aspects and then some positive points. * Coffee is from Illy, which I would say is slightly better than average for a major coffee company. It's a certified B Corporation but it not known for organic or fair trade coffee (they do a kind of direct trade). * Many of the pastries are mass-produced by companies that supply European or European-style cafes. Like Illy, these suppliers are perhaps slightly better than average: Bridor mentions using cage-free eggs while Bindi uses renewable energy. * A lot of the menu is suitable for vegetarians and I appreciate that there's no sign of beef on the menu (the single food product that drives around 10% of climate change). Would be nice to see more vegan options. * Café Crèmerie does a nice job at avoiding waste generation. Ceramic cups are available for coffee and food is served on trays with a paper liner. * I also appreciate that Café Crèmerie takes part in the Too Good To Go program, avoiding food waste.

Now let me tell you about arguably the best breakfast burrito I have ever eaten: The Royal Burrito. The Royal Burrito at The Loop seems to be a little different than the one listed on Egg Tuck's website, so I just wanted to alert you to that. Specifically, at The Loop's Egg Tuck, they use Korean Beef instead of the "Signature Beef Patty." While I cannot vouch for the latter, I can tell you that the former is absolutely amazing!!! The tortilla they use is also solid enough to hold the contents of the burrito until the last bite, which is a rarity nowadays as more and more places skimp on solid products. This place is amazing, and I'm sure they'll start franchising to more places than LA, so stay tuned and see if one turns up in your neck of the woods. Until then, I guess you'll just have to eat here.

The ordering process is straightforward: simple menu&kiosk ordering. But would have been nice to have someone help walk us through the options. We went with the avocado toast and the ham toast. Overall? Good, but not mind-blowing. If you're an egg lover looking for something light and satisfying, you'll enjoy it. It's not really trying to be more than what it is, and there's something to appreciate about that. Personally, the sauces were a bit heavy for my taste, but the chilis on the side were a nice touch and added just the right kick to balance things out. Would I go out of my way to come back? Probably not. But if you're nearby and want a solid, no-frills egg situation, it delivers.
