Expat Chicago

Very nice interior. We came for breakfast, the food was super tasty. Granola, pancakes, avocado toast. Everything was delicious. Very polite staff. We were satisfied.

I had a so-so experience to be honest, BUT I'm very willing to give them another shot. They had an event happening with a liquor brand when we visited, so they could only serve an altered cocktail menu. That being said -- It's tucked away at the end of Randolph Street and around the corner. So many interesting spots in the vicinity!- The space is really nice. Well decorated. Variety of tables, lounge areas, and a generous patio!- It's not obvious when you first arrive if its seat yourself, table service, or bar service. We initially felt awkward, but my kind bartender eventually came over to tell us it was bar-service only.- My cocktail was meh, but I wish I could have tried their not my Al cocktail menu instead of the partnership drinks.- The food was fine, and I would order something else next time.

- The design and interior inside is a "delight"- The service staff is very caring and friendly-I got the bawl granola and latte - the latte is a little bitter for me personally. But the granola with berries and yuurt is 10 out of 10, very tasty.- I am extremely satisfied and would like to come back for more

Visited on a Thursday around 1pm, cafe had several other guest but plenty of open space. You seat yourself and servers come by with a menu and water.Drink: Drip Coffee - solid dark roast Food: House Salad - simple but good, mixed greens with cherry tomatoes, cucumber and onion, in a light citrus dressing, good portion size, wasn't overly dressed balanced flavorsService was good, friendly and relaxed, food and drink arrived pretty quick, sever checked in occasionally. Great cafe/bar to get work done, feels like a bohemian loft with lots of comfy seating that's well spaced out and a nice playlist. Free WiFi was great, lots of others were using the space to work as well. Would love to come back to try more of the food menu which looked great!

Cute bar off Ogden in West Loop. Really large cocktail list and cool to see all the inspirations from around the world. Yummy little bites available if you're hungry. I think I had the bird of paradise cocktail which was a pretty drink. Staff was super cool.

This place is slightly hidden but what a find! Great food, this was recommended by the server and we're glad we tried it. My gimlet had a great presentation and great flavor. Decor is super cute and welcoming. My only criticism - the staff seem like they're more interested in socializing than waiting in customers. This was likely due to an almost empty restaurant but we had to ask to be waited on. Other than that, great experience.

I had brunch at Expat and was thoroughly impressed. The atmosphere combines exotic and bohemian elements beautifully. With both indoor and outdoor seating, I opted to enjoy the sunny outdoor space.The food was amazing and very reasonably priced. I tried the BLT, which is served on a pizza crust and includes bacon, lettuce, tomato, ricotta mayo, and sundried tomato pesto. I also indulged in a xuxo chocolate and sea salt caramel mini croissant, which was both adorable and delicious. My friends ordered the West Coast burrito and the egg sandwich, both of which were generously portioned and reportedly delicious.The service was friendly and provided excellent recommendations.I will definitely be returning and will have to try the late night feel the next time!

Had dinner with a girlfriend last night and I have to say this place is quite unique all day and night coffee bar. The theme of the decor and book menu centered around expat / travels marry well together. We ordered the frozen porn star martini and an espresso martini for drinks. Both were excellent choices and I loved our fresh my frozen drink was on this hot day. For our entrees we had the cheeseburger and Pasta Al Simone. Once both dishes were served - our food was fresh and tasty. The burger meat was rich and the secret sauce brought all the flavors together. Upon our server suggestion, we also had the espresso creme brûlée - oh my! If you have a sweet tooth you cannot leave without trying it. We really enjoyed our time there. Looking forward to visiting over the weekend when Djs are playing on the patio or having dinner at the two other connected restaurants - Coquette and Bambola. Thanks to our bartender Daniel for taking care of us.

I LOVE THIS BAR. Recently opened off to the side in the Coquette space - almost a secret little entrance to a hideaway, IYKYK. "Cafe by Day, Bar by Night" PERFECT. So European.Cocktail menu: famous drinks from famous bars, imagined right here in Chicago! I had a Porn Star Martini, made famous by the LAB bar in London. A delicious concoction (it tasted spicy, mellow, umami delicious) that comes with a little sidecar of champagne. PERFECT. I also sampled the Singapore Sling, and that was also really tasty.Food. We two got the fish tacos and the pastrami sandwich to share - was a perfect amount of food for a light dinner, and the taste was just incredible. Craveworthy. The fish tacos were plump, with a light, crunchy breading. The Pastrami - really a Reuben sandwich - my favorite was all delicious.I'll be back here again and again. Gotta try that Wisconsin Old Fashioned, since I am a Wisconsin expatriat!Bartenders were good looking, friendly and charming. I love this place!!

I LOVE this place!!!Tucked away in an unassuming spot, around the corner from Randolf Street Restaurant Row and the Fulton Market District. It is a true hidden gem. Expect offers so much. Coffee Shop, Study Spot, Friends Lunch and even dinner & cocktails. The American cuisine is fantastic. We had a burger, salad and french toast. Everything was perfect. The decor is incredible - airy and charming with a twist. Travel vibes, furry pillows, colorful tile and various seating options. Service matched all the other great elements. The positivity was in full force. Attentive and friendly service made our experience better. I can't wait to return at night for cocktails.
