Alhambra Cafe & Coffee House
Neighborhood: Lakeview, Wrigleyville

903 W Irving Park Rd
Chicago, IL 60613

2433 N Clark St
Chicago, IL 60614

Vanille Patisserie
Neighborhood: DePaul

2229 N Clybourn Avenue
Chicago, IL 60614

First Slice Pie Cafe
Neighborhood: Lakeview, Ravenswood

4401 N Ravenswood Avenue
Chicago, IL 60640

Chicago, IL 60647

Steve R. writes: Upon walking in here, the first thing that struck me is that it looks EXACTLY like a hash bar you'd see in the Netherlands. I mean dead-on, from the ambiance to the setup and decor. Obviously it's not, but what it is is a nice little coffee/ice…

The Baker's House

6004 Miller Ave
Gary, IN 46402

Marisa R. writes: The Baker's House is a cute and tasty new(ish) addition to Miller. Sit and enjoy a cup of coffee and scone in any of the homey rooms in what was once in old convent attached to a Catholic church. It is now a renovated bakery and cafe, similar in…

Market Creations
Neighborhood: The Loop

130 E Randolph St
Chicago, IL 60601
