Outdoor Cafe - Chicago, Illinois

Outdoor Cafe has a warm and welcoming environment, making it a nice spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The ambiance is inviting, and the overall atmosphere is pleasant.

However, my experience at the counter was a bit mixed. The person taking my order seemed impatient and not in the best mood. While I believe he is a good person trying his best, his attitude could use some improvement—perhaps a little more patience and a friendly smile would enhance the customer experience.

As for the food, I ordered an egg and cheese sandwich and asked if I could replace the bagel with toast. The response I received felt slightly inappropriate, which was disappointing. Additionally, I ordered a Taro Latte and a Pumpkin Spice Latte with only 25% sweetness, but they tasted much sweeter—closer to 75%.

Overall, the cafe has a nice atmosphere, and I can see its potential as a great spot. A bit more attention to customer service and accuracy in orders would make it even better.

Cute place where you can play board games while you sip coffee and have a snack.

There are multiple types of seating and a small variety of free board games. The coffee is good and the staff are always very nice.

Super cute cafe. Has a nice and comfy vibe to it. Drinks are good and I saw tons of people just sit to talk or study. Definitely a place to stop by and relax. Shout out to my carefree servers: Zoey and this Leah

I love this cafe so much u will always catch me here studying or having lunch w friends after school. The atmosphere is amazing I love the vibes and the setup it’s so earthy and peaceful. It gives studio ghibli cozy cafe and the food is super hearty and filling. Also love their drinks menu they have so many delicious drinks like milk teas, loose leaf tea, boba, smoothies, and milkshakes. Their deserts are also so good I will 100% reccomend this place.

My first boba drink, went with the suggestion made by the girl at the counter. The best, Taro boba drink will be my forever favorite. Cute little place with alot of board games. Will be going back often. Their NYC cheese cake was delicious.

The items advertised on the menu is not what they provide when you actually order the item. All drinks come in paper cups lined with plastic that increase microplastics in your coffee. Even though they use mugs to advertise the latte, they do not provide the mugs. That is false advertisement. Their QR code option for contact less order does noes not work and when I mentioned it to the man at the front, he became hostile and asked me to leave if I’m not ordering. I’ve been coming for a couple years and tend to order coffee on the way out but he was upset at the fact that his QR machine wasn’t working and decided to lash out.
