Chicago has some DOPE, BLACK-OWNED cafes and I'm trying to visit EACH ONE, starting here for a quick breakfast bite. The space is super cozy and inviting and there's plenty of food options, but FYI - There's no beef or pork served in here; turkey products, chicken, fish and veggie items only!!! They also have teas, smoothies, coffees and juices. If you're in the Hyde Park area, go support and make a stop here for breakfast or lunch. Tell 'em Sabrina from Planes and Plates sent you!

The coffee and cake were amazing but the service was so so. The younger gentleman was much nicer than I think the "regular" cashier. Cute place though nice vibes.

This place was okay. I honestly felt like I could've made the turkey bacon at home. Paid $5 for 4 pieces. The French toast wasn't good. I would not recommend it. Paid $9.99 for 2 slices. This place is overpriced.

Black owned cafe in Hyde park with good energy, solid espresso, a wide variety of food, and a super friendly staff. The ambiance is cute and gives "plants & peace". I can tell they were intentional with building out the space.They also have wifi and comfortable chairs (this matters!) 10/10 recommend.

I have been eyeing this place for a while and wanting to check it out. So today I decided to work from here. Well first off it was cold. Second the customer service was okay. And last when I connected to the internet it said no internet so I connected to my personal hot spot. The muffin was good. In the end it was so cold I had to leave after 30 minutes.

Stopped here on a whim after a dental appt on the same block. The atmosphere is super chill, decorated beautifully, has space for dining in, and is immaculately clean. The owner could not have been more personable, and literally made one of the best lattes I've ever had (red velvet with oat milk)! Decided to grab a "Basic Love" panini on my way out the door, and devoured it embarrassingly fast. Will definitely be back!

The food? Chef's kiss. The vibe? Cute! Literally such an underrated hidden gem. Small and cozy corner café with the food made fresh.

I ordered the chicken sandwich and I was extremely dissatisfied. It was not worth the price at all. The patty itself was so soggy, but not oily? like if it had been microwaved (I heard one btw). Fries were terrible.Restaurant itself was super cute. I wish they had a little more space. Service was alright. Only giving it 2 stars because the chocolate chip cookies are some of the best I've ever had. I would come here ONLY for the cookies. Other than that, I don't think I would come here again.

We added egg to one of our sandwiches and it cost us $12 for each sandwich. So basically we had to buy 2 sandwiches to add an egg patty to another sandwich. They also didn't add any expresso to my partners coffee so he had steamed milk instead of a latte. Overall wouldn't go back to someplace that is far to overpriced. $60 for two sandwiches and 2 coffees (we'll really steamed milk) is far too much money for a basic ass panini
