If you’re looking for a good breakfast sandwich in Chicago, sandwiches here are some of the best. Ordered the English muffin breakfast sando. English muffin was so soft and fluffy and chimichurri was an excellent touch.

Owners are very nice and welcoming as well. Don’t sleep on this place!

I came here for the Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap because Chicago was abuzz about it. It was a good wrap. It did not have croutons, and if it normally does there is a quality control issue. The chicken was good, there wasn’t enough Parmesan cheese for my liking but my partner didn’t mind the level of parm. I wanted more dressing too. It was a more traditional romaine lettuce. It was good though, just not my preferred type.

I also got the cali Bfast burrito with Soyrizo. It comes with a habanero (probably) sauce. It was good, it had hash browns griddle type so it was crunchy which added a great texture to the burrito. It was more of a burrito than most places which are typically just breakfast wraps. The soyrizo was good.

Not much seating, but it’s a cozy place. There were kids in there, and they have doughnuts and juice.

They have an amazing customer service.
The place is a cozy, clean and very nice.
The food can be made better, I guess.
They have delicious pastries 🥮 ☺️
Just a feedback: the bacon was a little burned. (need to put less salt in the eggs)
The rest of the food was delicious.
Love it!♥️

This was the first place I stopped when I arrived in Chicago; I came because I saw on Happy Cow that they had vegan items. The food was good, the staff is warm, and the atmosphere is nice.

Unfortunately, I feel compelled to give a 3-star review versus a 5-star because of their pricing. They upcharge for vegan items, which is not listed on their menu. They also apply a surcharge to the entire bill, which is stated on a sign near the register, but doesn't stipulate how much. Apparently it's a percentage of the total bill. Then, they ask for a tip on top of all of that even though it's not table service.

The net result is that I paid $30 for a sandwich and two baked goods, at least $9 more than I expected to spend.

As a small business owner myself, I understand that the costs of doing business have gone up. But the lack of transparency about their pricing (and quite frankly, the fact that there's a unposted surcharge for being vegan feels deceitful). Build ALL of the costs of doing business into your pricing; don't add a ton of surcharges to the final bill. You are effectively raising your prices by adding surcharges the difference to the end consumer is that they don't know what their bill will be.

The result is this: I will never come back here and I certainly can't recommend that anyone else go here. This was - by far - one of the more expensive places I went when I was in Chicago, and I definitely didn't expect it to be when I looked it up and when I walked in and saw their menu.

Got the moon walker breakfast sandwich. It was good, but overpriced. For $15, you should get both sausage and bacon, not have to choose. Seems to be a trend these days. Food prices going up, portion sizes decreasing. It’s unfortunate bc the place has a cool vibe

Edit: Response to owner - I wasn't referring to your prices specifically, I was just speaking in general. It's common among the entire food industry now.

Neighborhood gem! Best sandwiches around. The breakfast burrito is perfection. The homemade (!!!) chips served with the lunch sandwiches are so good. Had a bowl of chili from MW recently and it was seriously the best chili I’ve ever had in my life. Have never had anything bad from there. Moonwalker, we are lucky to have you in the neighborhood!!!
