Stumbled upon a hidden gem in Chicago — Spoke & Bird! Tried their grit bowl and it hit the spot — savory, hearty, and full of flavor. I also grabbed an iced spiced latte, which was delicious but had me feeling like I was sipping a chai latte with a cinnamon red-hot tucked in my cheek (not mad about it, just ... surprised!). It’s a beautiful day here in Chicago, and I seriously wish I could teleport y’all to enjoy it with me. 🌞✨ Read More

Came here with my 9 year old for a quick breakfast before heading to The Field Museum. Having never been here before, the layout confused us a bit - the dining room is down the block from the outdoor patio where orders are placed. We quickly got over that though. The outdoor seating area is massive and beautiful, but ... we opted for the dining room since my kiddo was chilly. The vibes are great. They weren't super busy so no service issues. The food was A+. I got the grits bowl, and my kiddo got the classic breakfast. Both were delicious, but I really loved the grits bowl. I would definitely visit again! Read More

The atmosphere was great. It was outdoor, shaded by trees and the piano music playing made it very relaxing. The spicy chai latte was good and food was good. It’s definitely different than this southern boy is use to but it was good.

This is a very nice cafe in a beautiful part of historic Chicago that is well worth a visit. I went here for a quick lunch during a convention just to tide me over until dinner and the sandwich was exceptional. The bread was toasted lightly, but not overly toasted, just enough to give a good crunchy mouth feel that ... went great with the tomato bisque soup. One thing that is kind of silly is that when looking at the menu, it seems like it makes more financial sense to order certain sandwiches with toppings that effectively make them another sandwich. For example my wife wanted a BLT but we were able to sasve $7 by her ordering a grilled cheese sandwich and adding bacon and tomato. I'm sure this type of thing happens and it kind of makes the menu more confusing than I think it really needs to be. Anyways, the sandwiches were great and the soup was nice and creamy. Overall the food was good, but not terribly filling, which was good since I was only stopping here to tide myself over until dinner time. Would recommend for the atmosphere and how close it is to parks! Read More

The staff was so nice and the food was delicious! Was near by for a conference and went here at least once a day for breakfast, plus one lunch. The French toast was perfectly cooked every time, which can’t be said for many places. Drip coffee was fantastic. We ordered one to go meal and it was ready right when we had ... it scheduled. Highly recommend this neighborhood gem! Read More

Nice little place not far from Mccormick place. Great for a quick morning bite. We ordered biscuits and gravy, almond croissant, everything bagel with cream cheese. Delish! Order at table via scan. Food is then delivered to your table. Easy peasy!
