Spoken Cafe

Oh my gosh --- the homemade BISCUITS!!! Seriously the best breakfast sandwich in the neighborhood, period. They are only available on the weekends and are made in limited quantities, but if you get there early enough TREAT YOURSELF to this incredible breakfast sandwich. The staff is super friendly. I love this spot!

Very very nice workers and cute ambiance inside - just not much seating. Street parking only but lots of meters around. Solid sandwiches but not very big for how much they are. Will say the servers truly go above and beyond.

Always good breakfast and lunch at this Ravenswood spot under the L. I am always up for their specials but my favorite is the breakfast sandwich made with boudin. They have house made pickled veggies that are great as well. Super customer service in this small restaurant.

I've been meaning to go here since forever and I finally managed to pop in today. Didn't catch their name, but the cashier/barista was friendly and personable. My drink (I got the black Betty, I think it was called? Espresso and root beer!) was delicious. Definitely coming back when I can!

4+ dollars for an 8 ounce cup of coffee? Are these guys insane. Do not recommend. Food is sub par and over priced as well.

I love this place owners are from Louisiana near New Orleans. has good coffee but if you get it to-go you have to bring your own cup. also they have gumbo for sale and have good breakfast acadian grits. best deal is a coffee for on-premises consummation in their cup.

I actually normally really like this place but I fear this is probably the last time I'll come back- first all they were not open on time, and then you have to bring your own cup which I'm cool with- but then they fill it however much they want. Not sure I'm happy paying $13 for a half a coffee and a bagel

Pros: kind and hardworking staff, tasty food, cozy vibesCons: looooong takeout wait times, bitter coffee, inconsistent portion sizes, small space/rarely able to get a seat Recently ordered two breakfast bagels (one just cream cheese) with pickup eta of 30 minutes, which is when we showed up; another 15 mins later, our order still hadn't even been started. Had to cancel because we were late to an appointment. (Thankfully, they promptly refunded us.) Not sure why the takeout operation is (consistently) so slow. Also, was miffed another time recently when I ordered a bialy and cream cheese bc they were out of bagels; despite paying more for the bialy, it was the tiniest thing. Not at all worth the $6 or so.

I work around the corner and have had such wonderful experiences at Spoken. Easy order ahead and the staff is so genuine and kind! Food and coffee is delicious. Would recommend!

Food was great, service was amazing and love the mission driven business. The cookie was delish- but the breakfast sandwich was out of this world
