Landed in Chicago and was lucky enough to find this Cuban breakfast spot. The European menu is far preferable to standard breakfast options. The prices were nominal, the food was good and the servers were attentive. The only thing missing was the crema for our coffee.

Wonderful to find this alternative to the coffee chain and Euro-centric pastry shops. Our breakfasts were hearty and flavorful. Powerfully flavored rice and beans (garlic, herbs) plus a savory chimichurri on the side. We were able to sit outdoors, which is not always possible in Chicago. The interior may not be accessible for everyone. Service was okay. Took a long time (but we weren't in a hurry,) the table was very wobbly. They seemed to be prioritizing the take-out orders.

Wonderful pressed breakfast sandwich!! I had eggs, cheese, & bacon, & my hubby has the steak one. They were delicious! Very friendly staff and comfortable seating. They also have a counter for grab and go items. 🙂

Cafecito is a neighborhood gem, recommended by many locals as the spot for a Cuban Sammie and coffee. Given the foot traffic, it is a good bet. Cozy booths and high tops toward the rear, table service. There's a casual, order at the counter in the front. And outdoor dining if you prefer, not covered. Menu suggestions: Cuban Sammie, crema de pollo soup, chivito Sammie and the ham croquettes.

We were introduced to Cafecito in Los Angeles. The food was great so we decided to find it in Chicago, while visiting. Great vibe and service but more than anything - delicious Cuban food. From black bean soup to Cubans, and in between. And don’t forget to to try Guava drinks.
