Café Logan

There are so many planned cultural events here it makes one head spin. Throughout the building as a whole there's things happening, but they had a nice jazz series in the Spring. We came here on a Tuesday to hear some live music. It was cool on this day so we opted for tea instead of a 'drink'.The variety has good picks of pastries and salads. I don't think there is table service, but rather you have to go up and order on your own. It is not cheap but not grossly overpriced either. I usu get beverages so I can't quite speak to the food.I found comfort on the elevated seats, but there are comfy chairs and outdoor seating as well.The attached pictures are from an exhibit by Tony Smith, 'Black is Beautiful'. The walls are a pretty blue but I hope they keep rotating and redecorating the area. What a great space for a gallery/cafe!

Located on the Southside of UC's campus and managed by the onsite food service company, Bon Appetit. Large eating space (including a patio), but full of students/faculty on laptops.The food is clean, lots of Vegetarian and vegan options. Cafe selections as well as grab and go and beer and wine. You do order before you pay, so if you have any modifiers, you will need to trust the chef/cook to prepare your request correctly; as there is no ticket system. I guess this means that you could also tell the cashier something completely different and get charged a different price.Service is less than friendly, but efficient.I wish there were "for here" plating options. All prepared food is served in (compostable) to go boxes. This means that the garbages are frequently overflowing and you need to use disposable utensils.

This is probably one of the best cafes on campus, so thanks to UChicago for adding a much needed coffee and food venue! And, in case you need it, this place also serves wine and beer, so what could be better than a little wine while doing a little work? Yup, not much can make work better!This cafe has pre-made and made to order sandwiches and soups and some salads, and everything always looks pretty fresh too. So definitely a good option for the food desert that is UChicago if you don't have a meal plan like the students do. This place recycles also which I know sounds lame to write in a review, but I've actually noticed how hard it can be to recycle on campus, so hooray for saving the planet too. They make all of the usual coffee drinks and have some other fun bottled drinks as well, so lots of options here. Then the ambiance is also just so nice and fresh feeling. There are high top tables, couches, regular tables, and the space is so big here, so lots of room to choose from and the free UChicago wireless is there also, so you should be good to go! Definitely a good addition to the area, so very glad it is there! It is not the cheapest cafe in the world, but with not much else around, they can sort of charge whatever they want. I think the food looks better than the latte I had, but still very happy it is around!

A work in progress, with a great staff, quiche and tea. I seriously plan to make this my spot after attending a day at the DuSable, or an after hours spot to meet and greet the guests from my radio show.Yeye LynvonneProducer/Host-Cafe Yeye: Where Monday is the New FridayWCSU iHeart radio

I've only been here once, stopped in for a quick bite for lunch, a place you might only know about if you know U of C campus. A few good options, salads, sandwiches, cookies, etc, but I just decided to go with a basic turkey sandwich. For a pretty basic sandwich,$6.50, it was so good too me! Very tasty and fulfilling too. This place even serves wine and beer as well. A nice little campus spot if you're in a hurry and need something to eat at a place nearby!

This performing arts center, the Reva and David Center for the Arts, has just opened at the U of C campus. I was attending Hyde Park Day for the Chicago Humanities festival, an annual event. Of course, there were many events held at this brandy-new venue and the event rooms and the center as a whole is wonderful. But, I was sorely disappointed in this place. Sure, we knew it featured only pre-prepared wraps and salads. But it billed itself as featuring specialty roasted coffees. Events were scheduled all day. I attended the Fred Hersch concert at 6:00 pm and many of us were there for a snack. The coffee was stale, the milk canisters had only skim milk and they were very limited in the food that was available. I got the veggie sandwiches and they were cold, limp and not very tasty. They should have thought ahead to the possibility that this was going to be their introduction to a wider audience and made certain that they were stocked. The operation was rather amateur .. pick up food at one counter, pay at a table set up with a money box and a cashier ... CASH only. (I noted that the book and music vendors there also were restricted to CASH only. I rarely find myself going to events in Hyde Park but I hope their service and menu improves. My friend and I had to go to Piccolo Mondo to find a decent meal. Gross lack of good food venues around the university - still to this day!

3.5 stars. I go to Café Logan fairly often, at least 2-3 times a quarter. I usually get the baked turkey bacon avocado club sandwich, which is always delicious. I've gotten other dishes, but nothing outside of my usual sandwich really wows me. The staff is pretty friendly, especially since I've become more of a regular. The atmosphere is nice (there's a good mix of students, staff, and kids from the Lab school) and seats/outlets are easy to come by. They also have a small selection of beers and wines in case you want a midday Stella. If you're on campus south of the Midway, this will also probably be one of the closest places near you with fairly decent hours.

I can't believe there are any good reviews on here at all. Whoever rated this place high is... well... probably high.I have never written a yelp review before, but it is high time the world know the truth. This place is NOT worth the price you have to pay for the food here. It's the same Aramark food as the rest of campus, just disguised to fool you.just a few of the many examples:-Their made-to-order sandwiches are way too small, and there is too much bread/not enough filling. I always have a teeny little sliver of chicken breast on there. This costs $6. -A "side salad" that comes with the sandwich is just a pile of spinach. no joke. That's all.-The soups are pre-made (never from scratch) and there is like 2 miniscule chunks of chicken in the "chicken & wild rice" soup.-And don't eat the bread they give you with your soup. It is a piece of something they call "focaccia" but it is just soggy bread with ketchup baked on top of it. Just sayin. -NEVER EAT THE PRE-MADE SANDWICHES. All of them are mushy. MUSHY.-A bottle of soda costs upwards of $2.-Baked goods are halfway decent, actually, but not worth it. Really truly. And for all that is holy, please, I urge you, NEVER drink the coffee at the Logan Cafe.Overall, two thumbs down friends.

If you are a coffee addict like me and you know what good coffee taste like, do NOT get coffee here. The staff is generally nice and damn, they make good food. The bad thing about cafe Logan tho is that it's too expensive. The quality of the food is definitely not worth the price. But they take maroon/flex dollars (if you have those). I absolutely love the atmosphere here and the red chairs are super comfy! My favorite spot to sit is at the corner right where the two windows meet.
