    Latte
    Ashley H.

    Every neighborhood should have a great coffee shop, and this is the kind of place that could easily become a daily addiction! The interior is super cute, and you'll see folks equally at home chatting away or flying solo. The staff was very friendly and welcoming as well. The shop offered super interesting flavors of coffee, and I really appreciated that they had a sugar free syrup option as well! I ordered the almond milk latte with sugar free vanilla syrup, the chocolate chip cookie, and the raspberry almond scone. The latte was super smooth and flavorful, and the cookie may have been one of my favorites in the city. It was topped with sea salt and loaded with chocolate chips, but somehow not too sweet. The scone was also buttery and light, with just a hint of sugar from the glaze and raspberry. I could easily have eaten another one! It's safe to say I will be back soon, and highly recommend making a stop!

    Met a friend up for coffee here and I thought it was so cute!! Great staff, super friendly and make sure you have everything you need. Smaller but cozy! Their bagels are great, nice and crunchy and super fresh. Excited to come back

    Very cute decor

    Very cute coffee spot with great vibe and service. Execellet bakery choices - one of the best in the town. I came in a Saturday afternoon. The shop definitely reflects the "loaves and witches" vibe with very cute decor. Chairs, furnitures, menu fonts, all fits the atmosphere. I'm especially impressed by their bakery selections - so good! I think it's one of the best bakery selections of a coffee shop in the town (I've been to MANY). I tried their LEMON COOKIE - warm, soft baked, flavorful without being overly sweet. I liked it very much. Also tried their lavander score. The flavor's very good; texture was decent (could be slightly softer just to my personal taste). There were several other bakeries coming out during my hours there, apparently freshly baked. Baristas were very, very friendly. I had mocha latte - the coffee was decent. Not the best coffee I've had but it's decent. I'd definitely come back again just for the cute vibe and their exquisite bakery selections.

    witches cold brew and espresso tonic
    Jonathan P.

    a very friendly environment. you walk in and to the right there's someone reading tarot cards and outsides there's people playing some sort of game. I had the espresso tonic (in btw some of the cutest coffee cups i've ever seen) a 3/5. the tonic was not as fizzy as i would want it to be but i'm not eating the coffee shop based off of their tonic, that's not their fault. only reason i'm going with a 4/5 star review is because i wasn't able to try any of their food items. The witches cold brew was super refreshing. a nice go to cold brew with almond milk, sugar and cinnamon. definitely would get it again.

    New favorite coffee shop alert! This place is fantastic - from the ambience to the espresso to the baked goods and super friendly staff. We loved spending time in such a welcoming and cool space. Kid-friendly and very welcoming of our 1 & 4 year old. They have high chairs which was a lifesaver. Parking was easy to find right in front. We will definitely be back!

    Loaves & Witches is a fun spooky themed cafe that serves great coffee and baked goods. Since it is close to Loyola, expect to find a crowd and a tough time getting a table next to an outlet. I ordered the Coven Cold Brew, which was creamy and flavored with cinnamon & brown sugar. I also tried their Choco-chip cookie which had a crispy edge and soft middle. The place itself is decorated in a cool modern take on a witch's lair. With tasteful wall paper and a tin ceiling, always great. It has plenty of seating around and free WiFi. They have several WiFi options, the correct option as of 1/25 is "L&W 5G - Guest" with PW: cafe&coven

    I've been eyeing this place since they opened a little while ago and finally stopped in to wfh the other day. It was a little busy, but I was able to find a table to work and they did a great job getting customers orders placed and out. I liked how they really leaned into the witch theme and how many menu options they had to offer. I'm not a big coffee girlie, but the staff did a great job suggesting something flavorful. The shop is pretty spacious and nicely put together. All ages are welcomed as there were children there enjoying yummy drinks and sweet pastries. I tried the caramel latte and cinnamon roll, yum. I have a peanut/tree nut allergy, so I love that their pastries' display list their ingredients.

    Good vibes and tasty pastry! This little corner café space has changed owners numerous times during the 26 years I have lived in this neighborhood. Walking in to Loaves & Witches is the first time I have felt welcomed and comfortable in this space. I had their breakfast pie with a café au lait and it was a truly filling treat! The crust was super flakey and the filling well seasoned. They have events here as well, with monthly poetry nights and music open mic nights. Will be making this spot a regular stop for me

    Cinnamon roll, Hawks Chocolate, Pesto Roll
    Anuvi G.

    The ambiance and decor sets the mood right as you walk in. The tables had candles and their holders were adorned with metal snakes witch (haha) was great to see. It's a very welcoming atmosphere. There were people working on laptops, others reading, and people just there to enjoy food. Definitely a place where people are welcome to spend a good amount of time. The menu is witch themed. The barista was really nice, and gave amazing recommendations regarding the drink. We got the hawks chocolate, cinnamon roll, and pesto roll. The hawks chocolate is very much worth getting. It's a rich chocolate flavor with some vanilla and cinnamon. The frothed milk on top was a great touch. Not too sweet, and a great accompaniment to their food. The cinnamon roll was sweet, warm, and just the texture you want on a Sunday morning. The frosting wasn't too sweet and instead was a pleasant addition to the roll (I'm not a frosting person). My personal favorite was the pesto roll. Warm with a similar texture to the cinnamon roll, but savory instead. The pesto and balsamic glaze was amazing. A strong garlic flavor and possibly one of the best pestos I've ever had. The menu is very vegan and gluten free friendly. We also got the garlic loaf to go, which has a soft fluffy inside with roasted garlic cloves folded in. 10/10 experience.

    Blueberry muffin

    I have no idea how I'm barely finding out about this spot as I've walked past here plenty of times. The place was PACKED on a Sunday afternoon but the line went fairly quick. Despite how busy they were, the cashier was extremely friendly, smiled the entire time, and answered any and all questions from every customer (and apparently everyone had plenty of questions that day haha). I had an oat milk latte which was okay but nothing that truly stood out. I also tried their onion bagel with vegan butter and a vegan blueberry muffin. The bagel was DELICIOUS and I will definitely be coming back for more. The blueberry muffin was pretty good as well. Pastries are a bit pricey but definitely worth it!

    Rosemary bagel with vegan cream cheese. Plastic cups, plastic utensils, plastic container for cream cheese.
    Maralyn O.

    Would've liked this place more if there was not so much plastic. Plastic silverware, plastic water cups, plastic cups of cream cheese, which could easily be eliminated by spreading it on the bagel. That would also eliminate the need for a plastic knife to spread it with. Also had to ask for more cream cheese since serving of cream cheese was so chintzy. Rosemary bagel was tasty, cappuccino was good. Downtown prices. Cashier was friendly .

    It's mid. The coffee is just okay and I wouldn't go past 12 if you are expecting a bagel. The service is friendly tho.

    WOW!! Schneider Deli has been on my radar for so long and it did not disappoint. If there's one…read morething I know, it is a good corn beef sandwich, and Schneider's Deli was no different. While we had originally gone there for bagel sandwiches, it was past noon and they were sold out (just means I have to go back now). The latkes were the perfect side that we ordered and the corn beef was so juicy. The sandwich practically melted in my mouth. It was consumed rather quickly and the perfect amount of sauerkraut and dressing. This location is small, but we were luckily able to get a table inside. Just writing this review my mouth is watering and I just know I will be coming back here during my many visits to Chicago!

    I really want to like them so much more than I do. If there were a continuum from hipster deli…read more(think Mile End) to traditional deli (Manny's, 2nd Avenue, etc) Schneider would on the hipster side of center. Two of us shared a half pound pastrami on rye with a side of hash browns. The rye was pretty decent but the pastrami was sliced far too thick and the meat was lean. That is not a good thing when it comes to pastrami and I attribute the lean meat to the deli catering to its hipster-ish audience. Although the flavor was decent, the sandwich was dry and difficult to eat. We disagreed on the generously sized pickle. One of us thought the flavor was just right, the other not so much. We both agreed on the hash browns. It's a no-go. They were well fried but entirely unseasoned. I understand the lack of schmaltz but there was no onion or salt or anything else. Waffle House has nothing to worry about. (IYKYK) Service was fast and polite. The space is tiny, but it works. Prices are okay for this area but if you want traditional deli in Chicago, go to Manny's.

    Great breakfast bagel sandwiches and coffee!…read more I got The Bagler Sandwich and a mocha latte with their house made mocha. The bagel sandwich was just the right amount to satisfy my craving and wasn't too heavy or over the top. Their latte was creamy and just what I needed. It has a lot of space and I even saw people working from home from there and I wished I'd brought my laptop to get some work done as well. Service was quick and the staff was friendly.

    This spot is truly so hit or miss- the first couple of times we ordered from here it was fantastic…read morebut then in more recent visits they haven't lived up to expectations. If you place an order for pick up, it could be ready 30 minutes early or 15 minutes late - hard to time pick up. So you like a warm breakfast sandwich? You might get it! Or you'll have an un-toasted, soggy bagel. The hashyb is good when the bagel is toasted and the bacon cooked, but now the ratio of times this happens is on the unfavorable side. The lox bagel also doesn't come on a toasted bagel meaning it ends up very wet and unsavory, I ended up eating the contents of the bagel without the bagel as it was falling apart. The coffee tasted burnt. Again, when they are on it - it's great! I wish they were more consistent, I will not be returning to pay $$ for a bagel that might be decent.
