Oromo Cafe Bucktown

Great little cafe tucked under the Western stop! Oromo is very open with tables along the side, a few bar seats and a communal table in the center. While we only just dipped our toes into their offerings, I can tell the rest of the menu is also high quality! As a lactose intolerant person, I am blown away by their selection of house made nut milks for their lattes! I opted for a pistachio rose latte which was lovely because it was not too sweet and had the nice subtle flavors one would expect. We also got the breakfast naan and pesto egg bagel. Both of which were delicious but the breakfast naan stole the show! I can't wait to try some of their Turkish coffees and paninis for lunch!Service was quick and friendly! We just ordered at the counter and received our food and drinks fast. They also have WiFi and reusable tableware and mugs for dining in!

Oromo Cafe has another location in Lincoln Square, but the visit to that location wasn't a pleasant one.We were in the area, and decided to give this location another try.We ordered:+a cafe latte with almond milk +and Hazelnut Horchata Latte - prepared with housemade toasted hazelnut milk, rice milk, coconut milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and espresso +a potato-filled pogača I really enjoyed the Hazelnut Horchata Latte - it was strong, creamy, and delicious! The pogača was heated through, but the exterior was a little too thick and hard. The filling was also more bland and kind of 'chunky'.Staff were kind, but they did totally forget to make us one of our drinks.There's a handful of seating inside, and I loved how they utilized the space to make it look more open and spacious. They had some local artists' goods that were for purchase as well as coffee beans.Limited street parking available in the area.+Hazelnut Horchata Latte+limited street parking available

Visited this coffee shop one morning to get some coffee and breakfast and to get some work done. I appreciate all of the tables with outlets that are available, making it a great place to hang out and work! I tried the iced pistachio & rose latte and the iced coconut & caramel latte. Personally, I wasn't a huge fan of either of these drinks. I couldn't taste the flavors very well for either of the drinks, so I wasn't a fan. For the food, they have a breakfast menu that isn't really visible on their large menu above the counter, but on a paper menu at the cashier. I ordered a bagel sandwich and a caprese panini. Both of these sandwiches were filling and tasty.

This was the meeting spot for a group run I did recently, so I got cold brew after the run. There were a lot of us, so it was a long line but it moved quickly and the staff were friendly.The cold brew here is amazing - some of the best I've had in Chicago. Just so good. That's the only thing I got so can't speak about anything else but get the cold brew.I don't live in this neighborhood but will definitely be finding reasons to come back for the cold brew!

Had a Mexican mocha which was delicious! The spicy potato pastry was great too and my friend got the breakfast naan which she devoured :)

My sister and I were on a coffee crawl through the city and we came across Oromo Cafe the other week. Besides the hundred of great reviews; we want to express that the unique clean Turkish menu and aesthetics, is what really drew us in. Just note a few things, we came on a slow school day, and easily found parking on a side street near western. But usually this is a high traffic area so if you're strolling by the 606, fell free to talk a quick walk if you're looking for a gluten, vegan free meal. I decided to try a frozen blend, the Pistachio + Matcha, wasn't my cup of tea, but I'm excited to come back and try the Pistachio + Rose. We also grabbed a Caprese Panini & my sister tried out the Turkish coffee with sweet cream. Very unique strong coffee for our first time, but we definitely will be back to explore the menu more.

Parking can be a little challenging here since it's directly underneath the blue line with no parking allowed in from the building. This is a great spot for those that need to get some coffee before jumping on the L. The staff here was ok. Not the friendliest of the bunch, but they got my order made in no time and quickly got me on my way. I ordered their hazelnut horchata latte and my wife ordered their maple maca pecan latte. Both were delicious with the horchata latte being my favorite. It was a tad bit on the sweet side but overall a really creative drink. Would definitely consider returning and perhaps trying out a few of their other signature drinks.

Stopped by here this morning for a Friday treat. I had no idea this coffee shop was tucked behind the western stop but I'm glad we stopped in. The interior is pretty big and there's a decent amount of seating. The menu also has a bunch of good food options but we only had coffee so I'm not sure how the food is here. My vanilla latte was perfect - perfectly balanced and not too sweet. My husbands pistachio and rose latte was not as good since it had a weird sour aftertaste. We may have to venture over here again and try something else but definitely a solid option in this area.

Great little cafe with excellent Turkish coffee and pastries that are delicious. Very nice employees, lovely ambiance. Will definitely return.

I tried the Turkish coffee + Sweet Cream and a Housemade Poptart. Coffee tasted great and comes with tasty Turkish delights. The homemade poptart tasted way better than Kelloggs brand Poptart, needless to say. More filling, natural tasting, and crispier.The staff were friendly and helpful. Good amount of small table seating. The background music and acoustics were a bit loud though.
