Get here earlier in the morning on the weekend to avoid long lines! Everything was satisfactory, including the hot chocolate (not usually a fan of hot chocolate). Seating inside was limited so we had to wait a couple minutes for a table to leave after getting our food, but once we were seated it was cozy and not too loud. read more

Nothing super special but they do have a variety of options for everyone. The creme brûlée was a hit with our family, we devoured 3! We added strawberry to the chia pudding to even out the sweetness. We didn't order banana but it was a sweet surprise. read more

This is a very very busy and popular attraction. Every time we seen, there was a really long line waiting to get inside. It's a fairly big place with a lot of seating, I'm not sure why they form such a long line outside. The line seemed to move at a slower pace too. Again, just another place to visit because it's cool to take in and I think this is the only one in the country and maybe on the globe. They do sell personalized bottles of Nutella, but when we went they were out. Said they can still print out a label for you though for like $3. My girl got the crepe, with strawberries and stuff and it was good. We just sat and talked but with how busy it is and the amount of people waiting to get in you can't help but kind of rush for that. Cool experience to be able to say you've been and many options for desserts/snacks read more

Went to Nutella cafe for breakfast and ordered the Nutella crepe with bananas, strawberries and whipped cream. Super delicious and savory. I'd recommend splitting something with someone because the items are very rich. More of a dessert option compared to breakfast. The store itself is very fun and clean. read more

Popped into Nutella Cafe for a mid day treat. The line was pretty long but moves quickly. Got the Iced Nutella Cocoa (4.5/5) which was creamy, chocolatey, and indulgent! A must-try for Nutella lovers! They also gave us a Nutella cookies which was delicious. They have a pretty expansive menu and lots of seating so a great spot for dessert lovers. read more

Ummm, so this is the house of Nutella, nothing more needs to be said. The only downside is that's it's a bit on the pricey side, but considering it's a one of a kind, I'm here for it. Crepe with bananas and Nutella is a classic that blends my favorite things. A must visit if you can handle this much sugar. read more

If you like Nutella this is your place, we ordered a Nutella creppe with banana and strawberries and it was good, we also ordered the premium espresso with Nutella and it was a little too much for me, but the presentation was really nice! The place is one of Chicago iconic places, so it's always gonna be crowded, so be aware, service was pretty average. They also offer personalized Nutella jars which was pretty cool, they have a lot of personal but the place felt a little bit unorganized, hope they can make something to fix that. read more

While on a business trip in Chicago, I stumbled upon the Nutella Cafe near "The Bean". This place served various Nutella Entries, desserts, drinks and merchandise. You can even personalize a 13 oz small jar of Nutella as a gift. I do have to caution that if you are traveling through the airport, make sure that the small Nutella jar is in a checked in luggage and not in your carry-on luggage as it will be confiscated by TSA. I ordered the Nutella Gelato Push-Ups, Nutella Biscuits, Chia Hemp Seed Pudding, and a Nutella Keychain as a souvenir. What can I say, everything tastes good with Nutella! :) Service was fast and wasn't a long wait at all. The Nutella Cafe should be called Nutella Heaven! You just need to look around the store and see the Nutella branding everywhere. If you are a Nutella fanatic, this place is definite must for you! Can't leave Chicago without stopping by. read more

It was our first day in Chicago visiting from California and I really wanted to love the Nutella Café, but this experience was disappointing and avoidable with better communication. After ice skating, we waited outside for about 45 minutes in 30° weather and were among the last people let in. I completely understand running out of pastries late at night, that happens. What was frustrating was being told they had "run out" of hot chocolate, when it was clear the ingredients were available and the real reason was that the kitchen was being cleaned. If that had been communicated upfront to the people waiting outside, it would've given us the option to leave and go elsewhere (especially since Starbucks is right across the way) instead of standing in the cold for so long. The staff seemed young and overwhelmed, which is understandable, but clearer and more honest communication with patrons, especially those waiting outside in freezing temperatures, would make a huge difference. We ended up just buying a jar of Nutella and making it at home. I hope management takes this as an opportunity to improve how expectations are set for guests waiting to get in. read more

I have been in Chicago for over a year now and have tried so many different coffee shops. I would not waste my time standing in line for Nutella Cafe. They are extremely overhyped, and serve one of the worst coffees I have had. Their Nutella coffee had absolutely no taste of Nutella or coffee. It felt like I was just having a mild chocolate flavored drink. It's a place which tourist love to visit. But if you are a tourist and reading this, save your time and do not stand in line for this place. You're better off with going to stan's or dunkin read more

I really really want to give this a higher rating, because I have such a sweet tooth, and will go to extreme lengths to satisfy it, including walking over a mile from my hotel and waiting in a 45+ min line, which is exactly what I did to finally experience this spot! I have been to Chicago several times now and wanting to come here but every time, it's been so busy, lines 2-3 blocks or longer. But I committed to crossing this off the list on this trip and walked over on a Friday around lunch time (I definitely should have gone off peak but it just didn't work out with my schedule- I can only imagine the wait on a weekend though...) I'm glad it wasn't super cold out and that I had a book to entertain myself while I waited! Honestly, the line did move a lot faster than expected, so I was probably outside for 40ish mins and then inside another 10-15 before placing my order. I knew I probably wouldn't be back again any time soon, so I went with a nutella overload- crepe with banana/strawaberry slices, nutella whipped cream, nutella gelato and an espresso nutella shot (with a nutella biscuit). After palcing my order, I was given a table marker and found a small two-top where I waited maybe 10 miins or so for my plate to come out. Like I said, I am a sucker for sweets, and I did enjoy my dish- the espresso shot washed it down nicely. But value wise (both time and money), I would say it wasn't worth it. I very happy I can cross it off the list, but I'm not sure I would ever wait nearly an hour again for a very overpriced dessert/snack. I think the other thing that was a bit missing for me was just the lack of personal touch/interaction here - it is, and feels, very gimmicky, but I thin that can still be done in a hospitable, more personalizing or welcoming way! read more

Nutella cafe is a cute cafe with plenty of seating near Millenium Park that sells all things Nutella. However I have to admit, their fresh selection of food and drinks aren't anything you couldn't make yourself at home with nutella. It's a nice option for the area and since it's open relatively late, especially for the colder months when you want something warm/have a bunch of kids. However I wouldn't recommend going out of your way for it or waiting in line for it, not even for tourists. read more

After lunch at Nando's upstairs, we popped down to check out the only Nutella Cafe we'd ever heard of. They had a lovely variety of options but we decided on a simple Nutella and banana crepe. The banana was a little underripe for my taste but not inedible. It's a tiny, cramped place with little seating, so we did feel like we needed to move out as soon as we were done eating. Our daughter is a big Nutella fan and so we did pick up a personalized jar with her name on it that they customized right on the spot. Not sure we'd go out of our way to return but it was a fun treat. read more

We came here out of amusement because of the long lines all weekend at all times of the day. There happened to be a 5 min wait Sunday morning around 9A, so we wanted to see what the hype was, aside from just having Nutella. It was surprisingly good, but definitely wouldn't wait anymore than 20 minutes. Love the customization and options of crepes, pancakes, waffles, and etc. Their mocha latte was also a shocker, as it was not overly sweet or too heavy. I also liked the balance of the fruit platters offering the finer fruits of grapes, bananas, strawberries and apples. Expect not to spend too much time in there. The staff is quick to remove your plates, rightly so with such consistent long lines. With high turnover over, you shouldn't have a hard time finding a seat once you order your food at the counter. They'll bring your order to your table with your identified place holders. There are large benches for bigger groups, and also smaller tables FYI read more

Took forever, tasted yummy. Feel as though i could recreate at home. Overall cool environment

Cool to visit since it's Ferrerro's first restaurant location in the states, but nothing really exciting. If you're into Nutella it will be a fun experience and they plenty of Nutella treats. The service isn't bad, but can get chaotic when busy. The restaurant also isn't structured well to hold a big crowd, so it can get packed. They do offer "personalized" jars now which is cool. read more

Major tourist trap, but walking by and my 14 yr old immediately got excited about the prospect of everything Nutella. I ordered a Mocha Nutella Iced Latte. Very bottom tier latte. I didn't even taste the Nutella unless I scraped the side of my cup and the coffee was mid. It was really just okay. I did try her waffle with Nutella whipped cream and liked the bites that I had. It was an improvement from my latte for sure. Unless you're a huge Nutella fan or just love the novelty of it, I'd personally skip. read more

2.5 stars. Overrated and very poorly run. They had a huge line of people waiting outside, even though inside of cafe wasn't busy. They have a patio which was not utilized either. Once every 30 min a worker would come out and let in 15 or so people. Indoor it was not crowded. The cafe is not very large but it seemed that they were artificially trying to create a sense of exclusivity with the limited access. Likewise, bar seating against the window was also not utilized - what a waste! Employees - all kids ( teens maybe some in early 20s). As we were waiting in line outside two female employees walked in, reeking of weed. We then saw them side, they were handling food as line cooks. There were maybe 4 cooks, 1 person at point of sale. Then maybe 5 more people just standing around doing basically nothing....one was constantly wiping the already clean floor, one person idling by label printing station (seemed like it was her only job and no one was getting personalized Nutella jars so she had nothing to do), a few others others were mingling while orders were being prepared and then carrying the orders out to people. This place is so inefficiently run it's just unbelievable! They could have served twice the amount of people if they put at least one additional person at cash register taking orders and then just let people sit wherever - open up the patio/bar area... put more people on completing orders. People like us who didn't care to sit inside and just wanted to take their order to go also had to wait in the ridiculously long line outside. We ordered ice cream and mocha. Ice cream was good but surprisingly not really cold which was strange and already melting as they handed it to us. The mocha I ended up taking a few sips and then tossing it because it felt like I was drinking 95% sugar. Very underwhelming experience. Also quite overpriced. read more

Returned this year with my cousin who was visiting from out of town. Another sub mediocre experience. They are rude while you're waiting in line to get in. There's no organization inside. Food is very average. I'm surprised they can't improve the experience and quality a bit. But then I guess they don't need to because there's plenty of tourists curious about it and won't even return. I've dissuaded my summer guests from bothering. read more

Truth be told, I didn't know this place existed until I landed in Chicago that same morning. I had plans to get breakfast elsewhere, until my friends told me that I "just had to check this place out". The moment I walked in, I was already mesmerized by the smell of crepes and Nutella, not to mention it was super cute inside. They have this selfie section for you take a pic with the giant Nutella Jar, and they offer personalized Nutella Jars for purchase which I thought was cool. I ordered the Crepe with Banana Slices and gelato. Although I knew I'd be full, I was feeling a little greedy per usual and also ordered the Nutella Espresso Gourmet. As I was devouring the crepe, I kept saying to myself "this has no business being this good" because I mean it was just so good, I was on a food-high from it. BTW: The Espresso Gourmet comes with a biscuit with warm Nutella inside...need I say more? This was a cool spot to check out, especially with it being my first time in Chicago. read more

Not worth the wait for your items. I walked by once and saw a long line and that definitely isn't for me.

This place was such a treat for me to visit. That had such of variety of things to try and not to mention the personalized nutella jars you can get as a gift. I got 2 for my kids which they were excited to see their own names on their jars of nutella. Staff were super friendly and answered my questions. When I entered it was super busy but the staff knew how to handle the "rush" the place was nice and clean and such fun nutella decorations and if they were flustered they definitely hid it well. I bought for myself some of their cookies filled with nutella that I munched on as I explored the city and they were delicious. read more

Let me preface by saying, you WILL be waiting to get in to the cafe. In my experience we have been able to walk in with no wait one time. Every other occasion we have visited has required anywhere from a 20 minute to hour wait. The staff do move as quickly as they can, and I appreciate the fact that they do not make guests feel rushed when they are inside. There is plenty of seating and the atmosphere is clean and bright. We personally come here solely for the Nutella gelato. It is a must any time we visit Chicago. The cafe does offer a wide range of foods and well as personalized jars of Nutella. read more

I was so excited when I found out there's a Nutella Cafe in Chicago! There was a long line when we went, and there's a worker controlling how many people are allowed inside. There was some merch inside, including cups and personalized Nutella jars. There's also a photo station with a huge Nutella jar. There wasn't that much seating inside, but it's enough for the pace the line moves at. There was also seating outside, but it's right on the sidewalk with a lot of people walking by. They definitely could have been more efficient, but I guess people are willing to wait. I got the grilled banana bread. I've only had warmed banana bread, but it being grilled was such a nice touch. The Nutella hot cocoa was cocoa and didn't have much Nutella flavor. It came with a Nutella cookie that was good, but I'm pretty sure you can buy these at the grocery store. I'm glad I got to experience this place! I probably wouldn't come back again if there's a long wait but definitely good to try once! read more

Nutella Cafe - Grilled banana bread and hot cocoa - Desserts Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

It was walking distance from our hotel stay. This is definitely a popular place to visit when you are in Chicago. Service: It was cold and had to wait in line outside the cafe for about 10 minutes. The staff did everything possible to keep the line moving. The staff were welcoming, patient and friendly. Waited about 15 minutes to get our food. Food: We ordered a crepe with Nutella, strawberries and bananas, Nutella whip cream and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I give this a 10 out of 10. The crepes and fruit were fresh. I really enjoyed the Nutella whip cream, it was light and just perfect with each bite of crepe. The serving size is decent. It was so good I wish I would've ordered 2 for myself but did not want to wait in line again. Prices are okay, it's a popular place so expect higher prices. Ambiance: it's definitely a busy place. Expect a crowd, may be hard to find an available table if it's a bigger group (you may have to split). It's trendy and casual place to eat. If you eat at the cafe, they take your food to your table. Recommendations 1. Look at the menu online while you're waiting in line. This helps expedite the ordering process. 2. If it's more than one person, one of you look for a table while the other one is ordering. 3. Order Nutella whip cream, it's delicious and a must! read more

Depending on the day and time you visit expect a wait. We visited on a Friday morning and were able to walk right up and order but the following day we saw a massive line.

I got the nutella crepes, nutella biscuits, and bought some souvenirs. tbh i've had better crepes before but it's about the experience for me! But my favorite thing was the personalized nutella jars! It was surprisingly inexpensive! I prob only waited like 15-20 min in line & found seating fast (I went at at noon/1pm). they have a huge nutella jar you can take selfies & pix with its so cute. Please you have to go!! read more

Prepare to wait in line, outside, directly in the sun. The prices are a little crazy but they don't even offer a simple t shirt. You can personalize a jar of Nutella with your name but beware if you're flying, it's considered a liquid so if you've only got a carry on, like me! You can get ice cream, milkshakes, cookies, etc. We were only standing on about line about ten minutes before we were invited inside. You go straight to another line where you order, get a number and they bring it to your table. I ordered a panzanella which was Greek Yogurt topped with pound cake, strawberries and mixed berries, Nutella and basil... They could've kept the basil and threw some granola on or in it. That was $12 and I wish I'd gotten the waffle instead. Since there was a line to get in, it's safe to say the place was packed, I found a seat in the front window and by the time I was done and I was the only person in the area. It wasn't loud though. read more

Nutella Cafe is a popular cafe close to Millennium Park at Michigan Ave. We went to the cafe on a day when it was snowing. The moment we stepped inside, we were overwhelmed by the delicious smell of hot chocolate and Nutella. We had ordered coffee, Nutella crepe with strawberry and banana and a croissant. You get a complimentary biscuit with the coffee. The food was lovely. Service was quick. We unfortunately could not get the custom Nutella bottle since the printer was broken.
