Yang JiangJune 24, 2013This place is perfection. Tucked away in a quiet pretty little residential corner. It has outdoor seating for nice days and great food and coffee on top of it. Spent hours reading and relaxing here.
mc.January 4, 2014love at first bite at this hidden gem nestled in the south loop. great menu option and cool vibe inside. best orange juice ever! apple chicken sausage/red velvet waffles--nom!
The honey almond milk latte is divine. Try the bagel sandwich with a whole wheat bagel. Also the chicken sausage is awesome.
SHAWNA PSeptember 3, 2015Perfect everything! Perfect neighborhood location, perfect variety & perfect staff! You owe yourself the treat of visiting. 😊- All the breakfast stuff, but I’m a fan of the frittata sandwich, the chorizo breakfast and the quiche!
Time Out ChicagoFebruary 21, 2012Come nightfall, this coffee shop transforms into a cocktail bar, and the wine, beer and cocktail lists are tightly edited (think classics such as the Corpse Reviver).

Heather FolsomJuly 16, 2014Best smoothie ever: the flamingo made with vanilla gelato, strawberries, & pink lemonade :)
AnnieAugust 31, 2012The breakfast burrito was big and great, but the other portions are shitty and this clearly caters to yuppie assholes. Bloody Mary was a strange color with too much lime juice, too.- AnnieAugust 31, 2012Counter service is dumb, too. Unless you're a home style diner or deli, lose the counter service.
Roosevelt CollectionOctober 14, 2011If you're drinking, get the Sangria. If you're recovering from drinking, try their coffee. Both are fabulous.
Bill SindewaldSeptember 29, 2015Went during brunch rush before Bears game. It's an order and sit down place. Nothing to write home about but it gets the job done.
Staff is nice, but service was slow. Disappointing since I'm the only one here on a Saturday afternoon while the rest of the city is at the parade downtown... 30 min seems like long wait for a sammich
VeezworldOctober 21, 2011Mmmm...Lentil burger w/ caramelized onions! The turkey reuben panini is good too!
The breakfast Frittata sandwich is amazing, and the lunch sandwiches are also delicious!
Best breakfast burrito in town. But beware -- it is spicy!
AlisonAugust 25, 2010Delicious coffee drinks (I loved the iced soy chai) and a great spot for some reading/quiet time
Best breakfast burrito!! They really should serve breakfast all day!!! I'd eat there so much more
Loria NearOctober 3, 2010The breakfast fritatta was delicious but huge! Well worth the money and friendly staff as well.
Eddy GonzalezNovember 2, 2015Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this place! Owner has ridiculously low health standards.
Brad MooreAugust 31, 2012A little overrated. Counter service is lame and the eggs don't come with toast. Overpriced and a bit too up its own ass
Bri JordanMarch 13, 2015I absolutely love you Little Branch Cafe South Loop! Check out Freebie today!
BigTab R.N.January 16, 2017I am not sure what I was served but it was not French toast by any stretch of the imagination. Very disappointing.
