    I came here two days in a row lol - I'd been meaning to check this local spot out for a while. First day, my friends and I had breakfast - I got the regular syrniki, a burrata danish, and we shared the honey cake. The honey cake itself should be five stars and this Central Asian-run local spot has great vibes and ambiance including workers with warm smiles. However, I thought the syrniki was a wee bit small for the price and also just okay. I came back the next day because I was in the area and hungry and I did enjoy picking things out of their pastry case: this time I got a potato pirozkhi &cream cheese and garlic donut. I read a review describing the latter as an everything donut. Both were good, as was the burrata danish from the day before, but I only think the honey cake is a must try. But I'd def be down to stop by again next time I'm in the mood for a snack.

    (G)o!! but only if you can wait out the lines, because this place is so popular right now and they're sold out by 1 or 2pm (W)ow factor - it's a hot spot!! (M)enu - got a scone and a couple raspberry pastries, phenomenal!! Not too sweet, supremely flaky pastry layers, and huge!

    Went on a whim Sunday morning for breakfast since we've been seeing Sweet Moon pop up on social media. The interior is quaint and welcoming with good natural light. Seems like it would be a good place to work too. The menu is extensive and has some unique options. We opted for the pastries at the counter and they did not disappoint! We got the garlic and cream cheese donut and the burrata pesto danish. We also got both hot, which I highly recommend. The garlic + cream cheese donut was so delicious! The perfect mix of creamy and garlicky. Similar to a bagel, but less heavy. The danish was also fabulous! I love all the savory flavors and the dough was flaky and crispy. I would definitely get both again. For drinks, I got the strawberry matcha, a seasonal offering. I loved the addition of the strawberry for a nice hit of sweetness. All in all, would definitely come back for more pastries and drinks!

    Sweet Moon is a cute bakery and cafe in Lincoln Square. This is one that I've walked by for years and finally went for the first time! Tried a hot dog pirozhki (hot dog in a baked bun) and a samsa chicken (kind of like a mini samosa m . Both delightful and delish . Interior is beautiful and well designed . Service is quick and courteous! Will be back to try other things soon! #bakery #cafe

    My friend and I came here after a Friday morning workout at the local gym since it was recommended to us by another friend we were staying with while visiting for the weekend. On the outside, the shop is unsuspecting and quite discrete. On the inside, it's spacious with plenty of seating and a minimalist chic set up. The vibe was pretty tranquil and offered a good spot for people to study and do work. We decided to look into the pastries as our post-gym snacks, and ordered the following to share: - Garlic & cream cheese donut: FREAKIN DELICIOUS. This was by far the best of the three. Loved how the garlic flavor compliments but doesn't overwhelm the flavor and texture of the cream cheese. The texture was nice and airy, but also the pastry itself offered so much flavor for such a decent size. 5/5 for sure! - Sausage piroshky: Good, yet tasted like your typical pigs in a blanket pastry. 3/5 since it didn't really blow me away. - Pineapple coconut brioche: This one was a good balance - not too sweet but also the texture of the brioche was smooth. 4/5 since it did its job well! I will definitely return here if I visit the area again. The spot is lowkey but it accommodates for the possibility to work, reflect, and indulge!

    The food and drinks have been very good. They mostly serve breakfast foods (omelets, waffles, crepes, etc) so keep that mind. The portions aren't the biggest but the quality is good. I've gotten the mushroom omelet twice. I really like their desserts - they served my basque cheesecake with warm chocolate and it was soooo good. My only complaint is that seated is very limited and it takes a while for the food to come out.

    Breakfast Sandwich

    Sweet Moon is so peaceful! It has a mellow vibe even when it is busy and the food is so good. I especially liked the breakfast sandwich and the multi nut croissant. There's wifi and plenty of outlets throughout the cafe! Would recommend :)

    Only got a mocha but would go back for their bakery items. The mocha was pretty bitter.

    Stumbled upon this place while looking for brunch places on Yelp! I'm so glad we came here! The decor is whimsical and filled with warm wood, bold green chairs, and all the pretty plants. I also appreciated the fresh flowers at the table. A great date spot! The staff are really nice and patient. Salmon Croffle: I was expecting just a sandwich, but it surprisingly came with a full plate of fresh veg too! I really enjoyed the sweet tomatoes as a compliment to throw savory, bready bites of the croffle. Pistachio Latte: well balanced latte that I got with oak milk. Not too sweet- it was perfect.

    My goodness. Sweet Moon is not even a mile away from my home and I've never been to it before today. I must confess, there have been many restaurants that have flitted in and out of this and the space next door, so I don't even always know what might be here at any time. And I never seem to see people in the restaurants along here so I hesitate to get attached. But I hope that Sweet Moon bucks the trend! They've been here for two years and I'm keeping my fingers crossed they are here for many more. Their food is great. I met some friends here and their chai was really good, and if it is made from a concentrate I couldn't tell. It had a subtle flavor, but also didn't taste watered down like is often the case. They also have pastries and small bites as well. I got a sausage roll and mashed potato... thing (I don't know what it was called) and both were really good. Well, so was the potato! They also had a few free samples out so we tasted a raspberry donut and mango. The mango was ok but not my thing (maybe because mango isn't a fruit I generally choose; I'm fairly indifferent) but the raspberry was so good. It didn't taste like a sticky jelly the way most filled donuts do; this was more like a raspberry gel or cream or something Fuller flavor and more true to the fruit, in my opinion. Next time I'd buy a full sized raspberry donut. I can promise it won't be another two years before I stop in again. There's street paid parking if you don't live in the neighborhood, or it's about a block or two north of the Damen Brown Line.

    Such a comforting place. It feels like home when you're here. The food is delicious and the pastries are so yummy!

    When I lived in Chicago, my friends and I loved to go to a Ukrainian restaurant because some of us are of Eastern European backgrounds and this food felt like home. Upon our recent visit, a friend recommended Sweet Moon and I was really excited for some Russian food. *Chicken cutlets - these were pretty good! *Lamb dish that I can't remember the name of, but it was delicious and had some pine nuts that added some nice texture and a good sauce *Syrniki - these were pretty good *Piroshki with potato - a good little bite to start the meal off! *Merengue roulette cake - this was my favorite of the cakes! *Honey Cake - really good traditional cake *Pistachio raspberry ice cream cake - also really good, and got better as it softened and got a little less frozen Overall, the food was really good and definitely a taste of home.

    Staffer was scratching himself, picking up trash, and cleaning the place. He then served food. Such poor hygiene. I will not return.

    A beautiful, eclectic coffee house just outside of Chinatown, La Malinche was the perfect place for…read morea casual late breakfast. With a cozy locals vibe, there was a mix of young professionals on laptops and families starting the morning. The bright aesethics of Mexican heritage and decor celebrating local artists make the space inspiring and energizing. The coffee was great. I got the horchata latte, which tasted even better than I hoped. I also ordered a El Chavo Torta, a deceptively simple sandwich that was incredibly delicious. I don't know what they put in the bread or what magical place they bought the cheese from, but my mouth is watering just thinking about it. When I'm in Chicago again, La Malinche is on my list of must visit spots.

The staff were really welcoming, for an early morning. I got the hot chocolate. Honestly that's exactly what I needed that morning. It had that real Mexican chocolate taste. Thick, creamy, smooth and rich. The cinnamon came through warm but not too strong, plus a little extra on top that hit your nose before the first sip. Sweet and it almost had this slight earthy note too... hard to explain but good. It even had that little design on top, like the ones they do on cappuccinos. Didn't expect that but it was cool. I finished it slow. Didn't wanna rush it. Just sat there taking small sips and enjoying it while it was still hot.

    Not sure why I had not reviewed this soot earlier, I come here often, in fact I'm here right now…read more Great spot! Set in an old warehouse that is now an art gallery event space and restaurant nestled in an older warehouse district in Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago. Beautiful decor and laid out perfectly. The natural wood floors furniture ie tables chairs etc and iron work throughout sets the ambiance for old meets new. It works. The wide spacing between tables makes for a comfortable dining experience. So many folks come in to do their work and dine here. What a super addition to the neighborhood that less than a decade ago was essentially a street that was more a run down semi-truck alley. Great menu with neighborhood favorites leaning toward the old school Italian dishes. Sandwiches, soups, salads, and breakfasts just to name a few are all excellent. The pastries are insane and a must take home deal. I love the American Breakfast. Three eggs your way, thick diced America potatoes, thick cut bacon, and sourdough toast. Accompanied by what I believe to be home made jelly and for sure homemade gardiniera. Caruso's gardiniera actually. Diced into a relish unlike most standard gardiniera it's easier to eat with many dishes. Excellent flavor and just the right kick to it. FYI Dolce Arte also sells a to go line of homemade Caruso products from their gardiniera to past and past sauces and more. Yes, their coffee is really good too. Lavazza products I believe. The service is always on point. Casual but on point. Very friendly staff from diverse backgrounds. This is the place you bring people close to you, business lunches, meetings, formal ir informal, or like me, save it for myself as my own getaway spot. It's an artists dream and sets a positive time for any gathering.
