Cozy and huge coffee shop! They have my beloved oat milk for lattes. And tons of donuts, cakes,…read morecroissants, cheesecakes and also custard and pies! And cookies and danishes and muffins. Oh my! The pies kind of look like homemade individual sized pizza pockets with either spinach, chicken, veggie or zatar. They're on the bottom shelf in the picture. All kinds of pastries from savory to sweet. I was eyeing the chicken pie for a future visit during lunchtime. If you want to work on your laptop, the free WIFI is good and there are charge cord plugs all along the wall. I like how spacious and bright it is inside, not to mention the high ceilings. When I get cabin fever it's nice to "escape" to a clean and friendly location like this.

Qamaria is quite literally tucked away in Albany Park so I was shocked to see the ginormous space…read morewhen I entered. There's seating for probably 50 people, if not more, and it's open till midnight most days. This is the perfect 'third space' for anyone looking to catch up with friends or looking for a new work/study area. I loved the iced mufawar because it's a perfect blend of spices like cardamon and it gives me a caffeine high. There's an assortment of sweets and a few savory items like croissants. A shared parking lot in front is a major plus, but it's also steps away from the Brown Line making it super convenient. Definitely a great place to get some work done.

A good neighborhood bar that is not so frat-party but has a proper patio that allows dogs. Its…read moreconvenient that you can order food at the neighbor place and have it delivered to your place and it is easy to hang out. The cocktail menu is constantly changing and makes it interesting, and the personnel are not unfriendly and reserved. It is a good place to have casual encounters or a casual night out. To that, service is sometimes a little spotty and the seating is limited particularly during rush times. The atmosphere is pleasant in general, although some additional detail could be used and make the experience truly high. Worth going to see, should you happen to be passing by.

The drinks here are unique and well made!! Especially the Witch, Please which tasted like a blueberry muffin. Our server's name I believe was Danny? He was awesome, friendly, and there every time we were ready to order a drink. If you're in this area, I can't recommend Nighthawk enough! We'll be back for sure!

They end their lunch at 3, and we came in at 3:15 - the barista asked the cook if they could still serve lunch, and he agreed to do so. I'm SO glad he did, because the crepe was really good! My Runaway LUX crepe was evenly packed with ingredients, tasted very clean, and was flavorful. I was pleasantly surprised with how much salmon was inside. The ambiance was welcoming and fun as well - my friend and I sat in the back playing UNO while my meal was being prepared, and it was comfortable enough for us to sit there and chat for about an hour after I finished my meal. Upon us leaving, the barista thanked us for visiting and gave us some coupons for our next visit - I was definitely going to visit again, and now I have an incentive to do so.

Went solely for their fruit and red bean shaved ice. The ice could've been finer (I had to chew on…read moresome larger shards of ice which wasn't pleasant), but otherwise we enjoyed it, and I was very happy to see that it had all the makings of an old school patbingsoo with both fruit and red bean, as well as mochi and ice cream, which is rare nowadays. It was pricey but enough for 2 people to share. Metered parking on a weekend evening was easy. My only complaint is that it had a strange, unpleasant smell inside (we were there in the evening during the weekend of April 25th). Also, when I came a few years ago, it had a really cozy, welcoming vibe packed with comfy couches. Now, it just looks like basic tables and plastic chairs, lacking comfort, character, and charm. I'm hoping to return to try the sweet potato latte and the other shaved ices, but I hope they do something about the smell and make the space feel more cozy and inviting.

I asked her for some recommendations and she suggested one of the frozen drinks. I'm so glad she did because I have been craving it ever since! They have a few frozen drinks to choose from, but I went with the cold brew + hazelnut truffle. It's made with housemade hazelnut milk, cold brew, cacao, frozen bananas, housemade coconut caramel, maple syrup, vanilla, and seasalt. Trust me-- it is just as heavenly as it sounds! I forgot to get photos of it because I drank it so quickly--sorry! The space is so cute inside and it's in a fun area to wander around, right in the heart of Lincoln Square. Can't wait to come back!

That brownie I had was delicious and actually satisfying for a sweet tooth like me! The rose latte was enjoyable and once again, they had gluten-free bread to offer for the sandwiches/paninis. Not only that, they are actually a dollar less than the regular one because they say it's smaller. Less - you read that right. Anywhere else they up-charge for the gluten-free version, even if it's just frozen Udi's. It wasn't so here! Note: their savory stuffed pastries like the spinach ones and potato ones aren't gluten-free because they're brought in by another vendor.
