Chilaquiles Divorciados
Stephanie T.

La Catedral has amazing Mexican food. There is always a wait time because it's that good. I had enchiladas en salsa verde with chicken and it was very fresh and tasty. I also got a jugo natural and that was refreshing. My family got the chilaquiles divorciados which was spicy and a generous portion. I would love to visit again the next time I am in Chicago.

I love chilaquiles and when my friend requested to go somewhere with the best chilaquiles I remembered being recommended to la Catedral. We knew we might have to wait so we drove there at 1pm. Luckily we got a table right away. We both got chilaquiles divorciados although they have a myriad of styles. I got chilaquiles rojos and verdes and they were the right amount of spicy. The tortillas were still crispy which is a huge plus because some places give you soggy chilaquiles. I would come back just to try their chilaquiles con mole!!! I really wanted to try those but now I have an excuse to come back. Their coffee is good too. I got cafe de olla but it has too much cinamon.

This spot was amazing! We were able to get seated immediately walking in. We got the guac as a starter. The chips were fried perfectly (you can tell they're not store bought), and the guac was on par with the best guac I've had. I also loved the way they plated the chips! I got the chilaquiles with the salsa roja and verde. Super solid, and the portions are super big! There was a busy vibe there! Oh yea, I got the jamaica and it was great!

Chilaquiles Pasilla
Keyva C.

This little gem is absolutely amazing and I was blown away by the varieties of chilaquiles they had. I tried the pasilla chilaquiles and they were absolutely delicious. Service was good and the ambiance was very nice, it's kinda felt I was eating someone's home. I will definitely be back to try more items.

La Catedral Breakfast

I've been meaning to try La Catedral Cafe for years and finally made it. Totally worth it. This is the kind of spot you want to hit first thing in the morning and just soak in the vibe. The whole place is on theme with church-style decor on every wall, feels like you're sitting in a little chapel. I ordered the chef's favorite, La Catedral. The coffee was smooth and just right, the fresh orange juice... wow, one of the best I've had. But the dish itself was the star. The combo of flavors was wild, the eggs, the chorizo and potatoes, that hidden fried tortilla under the beans, all of it stacked up into these perfect bites. Rich but balanced. Every forkful had something different going on. The staff was incredibly helpful, and the service was fast for a busy morning. Left full and happy, already planning to come back.

If chilaquiles is your jam, then this place is for you. This place is very well known for their chilaquiles as they offer different sauces, proteins and styles. Serving portions are very generous (two can share one order). There may be a line to wait but be patient, the wait is worth it and the line moves quickly. The restaurant is a lot bigger than it appears from the outside. Service was great and standard. Cafe de Olla is must if you're into coffee (they offer iced and hot). Give it a try if you're in town!

Chilaquiles de mole delicious  Torta De Chilaquiles
Ruby G.

Todo delicioso! I would recommend ! We've been here over 5 times and it's always good!

Torta de chilaquiles
Jonathan W.

Cafe de olla ($3.50)- get a small bc a large is huge. Chilaquiles Chipotle ($15.99)- this had the best flavor. It comes with rice. Chilaquiles divorciados ($17.50)- this is super super spicy. I can't handle the heat so I would skip this Torta de chilaquiles $(15.50)- lots of bread. Bread is nice and toasted but they give you less. I would skip this.

horchata
Katherine Y.

we came here at around 1pm on a saturday afternoon as a party of 2 and had to join the waitlist, and it only took about ~10 minutes for us to be seated. they have a large menu with various options ranging from many different yummy sounding chilaquiles variations to sweeter options like waffles and pancakes to burritos. the decor is also very appropriate for a cafe called la catedral. i got the alambre and my date got the chilaquiles verdes. we also got the horchata con fresa and the regular horchata, and both were delicious. the horchata con fresa was so sweet and pretty pink, and tasted just like nesquick strawberry milk. the food came out quickly to the delight of our hungry bellies lol. the alambre was so yummy, it would be great food for a hangover, it's fried bacon, sausage, and steak bits with jalapeños and bell peppers and melted cheese on top. the beans and rice were yummy on the side too! super fluffy rice. the chilaquiles con verdes was a favorite of my date's, he said that the salsa verde they make is perfect and the perfect spice level. i had a taste and it was super delicious, no complaints there. i definitely want to try the birriaquiles next time! overall i was super super satisfied with this mexican breakfast, which my date said is the utmost traditional mexican breakfset spot in the area, and i can understand its popularity after trying it.

Large Cafe de Olla
Esther C.

Ambiance and service is always wonderful. This would be my 4th visit. I haven't tried everything on the menu but what I have tried is delicious. Pancakes were dry but good. Overall, I would recommend coming. Parking is an issue but they have a lot a block down.

Chilaquiles
Bethany J.

Can I just say that they probably have the biggest coffee I've ever seen and we got the smaller size! The service was great! from start the finish, the employees communicate and make sure you have a pleasant experience. There was a bit of a wait but we walked in so it was expected. The cafe de olla was so comforting!! I loved the sweetness and it paired well with the corn bread. The chilaquiles were great! We got red and green to try both, definitely leaned more towards the green. My husband LOVES chilaquiles so he was a bit more critical but I loved it overall. I definitely want to come back to try their other dishes!

BeeLove Cafe is one of those places you "accidentally" walk into and then suddenly your whole day…read moreis better and you're questioning why you don't live there. I randomly found this spot and I'm honestly mad I didn't know about it sooner. From the moment I walked in, the vibe hit immediately. Like I felt noticeably happier within minutes, which is kind of dangerous for a coffee shop because now I might start showing up here just to regulate my emotions. The staff was insanely friendly in the best way. Not the forced customer service friendly, but genuinely welcoming, engaging, and just good energy all around. You can tell they actually like being there, which makes you like being there even more. Also, this place is huge. Like I was expecting a cute little coffee shop situation and instead I walked into what felt like a spacious, aesthetic coffee universe. Despite the size, it still somehow feels super clean, cozy, and really chill. You can post up, work, read, or just sit there pretending you have your life together. I don't even fully remember what I ordered, which is not me being careless, that's me being emotionally transported by the experience. What I do remember is the coffee was really good and I felt extra calm and happy drinking it, which feels important. The whole place gives very Brooklyn coffee shop energy without the flight to New York. It's the kind of spot where you go in for "just one drink" and suddenly it's two hours later and you're contemplating a second life as a regular. That's exactly what happened to me. I stayed for about two hours just enjoying the space, relaxing, and honestly just feeling good to be somewhere that feels that nice. 10 out of 10, would accidentally heal my mood here again.

Really enjoyed my lavender iced coffee! This place is super cute and has really friendly staff…read more They have natural honey products for sale which is AMAZING! Plus some super cute merch. If you're a cafe person please check this spot out.

One of the best (if not the best) coffee places in Chicago, we've been a big fan for several years…read moreand never had a bad bag or coffee. We try to make time to stop in anytime we're in the area and stock up so that we can enjoy their coffee on the daily. Staff is always super friendly and knowledgeable

I . Was in Chicago…read morefor the weekend. Prior to arriving I read an article about the top 100 coffee shops in the world. ( see link below ). While reading I saw that Metric in Chicago was on the list. And that was the sign this place had to be a must try! Came here on a Saturday morning. I walked a few miles from downtown to the neighborhood this place is in. It is in an industrial part town of area. Kind of reminds me of the west bank of the flats area or temont type of area we have in Cleveland. The shop itself is not very big. However the coffee, is absolutely incredible. While there I met Cara . She was so friendly and knowledgeable. I mentioned that the reason for making the walk to this place was to see how it measured with award of top 100 shop. From there I got my espresso. Amazing. Just amazing! Cara also took the time explain the cupping process. And how Metric gets their beans. The educational experience for a coffee nerd like myself was . And then getting a chance to do the cupping was icing on the cake!!! I'm very glad that I got to experience this gem of a shop. I truly understand why it's top . When in Chicago, for any coffee lover/nerd. Come here. I promise you will love it!!! https://theworlds100bestcoffeeshops.com/locales/metric/

Ordered from Froth Cafe thinking it'd be a normal coffee situation... it was not. It was better…read more The dalgona latte showed up with massive chunks of toffee--like, not decorative, not subtle... full-on "we believe in happiness" pieces. Every sip felt like a reward for simply existing. Also tried something called "False Spring," which has carrot juice in it (I know, I had questions too). But somehow it works! It's fresh, a little sweet, and makes you feel like you've made a good life decision--even if you're just ordering coffee in pajamas. Everything arrived perfectly and tasted like someone actually cared while making it. 10/10, would absolutely order again and pretend I'm a sophisticated person with a refined palate.

Stopped by to try their breakfast and specialty coffee drinks but missed breakfast by 30 minutes --…read moremy boyfriend ended up trying their Italian sandwich We also ordered their dalgona latte and cold brew (we originally wanted to try their ladybird and stuntman mike but was told at the register that both were no longer available) There was a super sweet barista with curly hair who offered to add regular cream top to my boyfriend's cold brew coffee because we thought we had ordered the stuntman I would say the dalgona latte tastes much better when the toffee is melted -- when I first tried the drink it didn't taste sweet enough for me but once the toffee melted it tasted better I would say that the ambiance of this space really left an impression -- it was extremely spacious and had lots of tables for studying. If I was a local, I could definitely see this space as a regular study spot To be honest, I feel like my boyfriend and I didn't order the best items because the coffee and food was just okay -- I'll come back to try their breakfast burrito and potato wedges next time, and maybe try different speciality drinks like their hibiscus matcha or this purple iced drink I saw everyone ordering But the staff was so kind and the space had great vibes so I hope to try more from them next time!
