We ordered a drink and later then came back when all the other floors were opened. Each floor has their own specific menus but some of them have the same bakery items all around. We ordered the pistachio croissant 5/5, not too sweet, was fresh, crispy, and flaky all around. Egg and cheddar breakfast sandwich 3/5-egg was super fluffy and bun soft and it was filling but wasn't anything mind blowing. Crispy hash brown cup 1/5- no flavor or seasoning at all. Herb croissant-3/5 pretty decent. Service and hospitality were great, had a staff member come up to us and ask us if we were enjoying everything. Overall I thought it was a cool place with a ton of tables on every floor, looked really cool inside, awesome there are only a few in the world. Aesthetically pleasing And photo worthy. A little pricey for what they serve. But regardless, Got marked off the bucket list. Very unique inside. Be aware they do not have the typical Starbucks drink menus.

This location also has a seating area with tables, and during the summer they have outdoor seating too. You can pick the items you want on a tray and then go to the counter to place your order. I have ordered birthday cakes for my friends from here many times. One time I forgot to pre-order, but luckily they had cakes available to buy right away, which was really helpful. Definitely recommend!

I love that there is an outdoor patio. It was nice sitting outside during the warmer weather. I elected to try the raspberry pastry, which was flaky and delicious. The cream balanced the tartness of the raspberries. I enjoyed the sausage pastry as well. I love that the woman at the counter offered to warm it up. I will visit again during my next visit to Chicago!

Both were delish! The glazed donut was fluffy, sweet and my fave. My husband loved his old fashioned donut! He said it was crunchy yet moist. We also both got the Hot N' Spicy chicken sandwich which was so good!! Flavorful and spicy, with toppings that helped add some freshness to it. Pair it with a soft brioche bun, and this sandwich was heavenly! Def check this spot out for breakfast! One of the best places we tried while in Chicago!

I stared at the spicy jalapeño version for a solid minute before deciding I enjoy my digestive system too much. Then came the gluten-free cinnamon donut covered in chocolate. Made with potato flour and apparently forged in the depths of pure butter and chaos. Heavy as hell. Delicious as hell. Roughly all the calories I'm allowed for the month. My husband inhaled his like a man seeing civilization after weeks at sea. I also had the old-fashioned buttermilk donut dipped in what I think was vanilla glaze, and honestly? That donut knew exactly what it was doing. Service was ridiculously fast, friendly, and funny. They have this little pickup window where your sandwich appears from the void, handed to you by an adorable cheerful human like some kind of magical egg sandwich fairy-poof-it appears! Go, have fun with the choices, don't even think about the calories. One lady told me people come at the holiday and get boxes and boxes! What a great idea! Now just build one in Florida! Cuz, there are enough hot air politicians to help bake these bad boys! Cannot wait to come back ;)

I tried the turkish delight latte both hot and iced (it's better hot, in my opinion) -- it's sweet and the flavor is unique which I really enjoyed! I also tried one of their pistachio croissants which was very sweet but it was tasty; I'd never had one before and liked the taste of the cream. They warm it up for you too, it's nice to have in the morning with coffee or tea. I also tried their chili crisp egg bowl on the day I left Chicago, which did store and travel well all the way to the airport where I had it about 1-1.5 hours later -- it was very tasty, and not too spicy (but had a strong kick!). The texture of the food was particularly nice and even though it was $15 which is a little high, I was certainly full. I would definitely have it again :) The inside of this place is also nice; it's usually pretty full and the tables are full (in the mornings anyway), but it would be a good place to hang out and study I think. The bathrooms are also very clean and the staff are nice, and they give you a $5 birthday coupon :) Overall would rec a visit here if you are around downtown Chicago and want a drink or pastry!

It was so yummy. The honey brought out the sweetness of the coffee, and who doesn't love a foam with their cold brew?! While getting the actual coffee once we ordered didn't take long, it did take a while to actually order. In total, it took us 30 min (getting in line to receiving our coffees). But we were there on a Sunday so there will be a weekend crowd, and I think the brand will draw a crowd too. The shop itself is really cute and actually connected to the Ralph lauren shop. So after having your coffee you can go and walk around and check out the clothes. The trinkets in the shop were EXPENSIVE. $120 tote bag?! So we did not get any trinkets but it was fun to look around, and it's a really cute shop. Surprisingly the coffee was not insanely expensive. I'm so excited for the boston location to open- loved Ralph's coffee!

Overall, I did not enjoy this strange turn from Italian food I am used to. I am not sure if this…read moreplace is a fusion restaurant with another culture because the food that I was expecting to be Italian was not giving Italy. Typical bruschetta you see has tomato, which was what I was hoping for when I ordered it, but there were no tomatoes at all. Instead, there were green peas, and a whole lot of cheeses on top consisting of whipped ricotta cheese. The taste made me regret getting the bruschetta, which I usually love. And the gnocchi dish... don't even get me started. The texture made me think I was eating raw dough from my baking sessions. It looked promising when the dish first came out, but the mozzarella cheese on top was chewier than the gnocchi itself. The gnocchi would just become a strange mash when poked with by my fork. The gnocchi was overcooked which resulted in a mushy paste when it should have been pillowy and have a slight resistance when bitten into. Maybe their other foods may have been good, but the combo I got was not filling. I barely touched the gnocchi.

If you love Italian food, Italian pasta, pastries, pizza,wine they have it all. We had fettuccine, with a side of chicken breast. The chicken was so moist. It was grilled to perfection. The focaccia was out of this world. It was airy. Just amazing with the best olive oil. They gave us a side of salt for the bread to add with the dipped olive oil and it just blended and melted together. Every bite was just beyond words. My wife had the Branzino. It was stuffed with aromatics that not only you could see, but also smell and taste. While garlic , rosemary, and lemons. It sat on a bed of fingerling potatoes, lemons and tomatoes. This was one of the most amazing experiences we have had. We cannot wait to visit another Eataly.
