Tasty sandwiches and amazing bread I would say the Dutch crunch baguette was one of the best sandwich breads I’ve ever had. It was perfect for my tuna, avocado sandwich. The only problem was I didn’t really taste the avocado. I would’ve loved to have more lettuce, tomato, and onion in there, but I didn’t ask so that’s not their fault. The sandwich was very tasty especially because the bread was so good. This is on a strip of lots of restaurants on 53rd St. near you Chicago so you’re gonna get a lot of fun eateries here. Parking on the street and you have to pay.

Such a wonderful spot! The vibes are awesome, very chill and friendly. Their menu is HUGE and they have so many vegan options! I love that you can order any of the sandwiches as a salad or wrap as well. The service was so kind and helpful. I got the vegan sumac chicken sandwich on wheat and it was absolutely phenomenal. Sat for a few hours and got some work done, just enjoying the ambiance. This place reminds me of Pick Me Up on the North Side, so if that is your vibe you will love it here! Will DEFINITELY be returning!

If I could give this place 10 stars I would! I drove all the way from North Carolina to Chicago, and I’m so glad I was able to stop by a few times at that. As a vegan a sandwich is hard to come by let alone a good one. The Dutch Crunch, & French bread are a bomb 10 out of 10. I tried the vegan Cajun chicken sandwich, & the other one was maybe vegan pineapple something but I don’t remember. So fresh, so good, the perfect amount of sauce, veggies and meat, and you can’t beat the price for the amount of product. The lemonade is really good I love the mint lemonade, or just regular. The vegan scone is sooooo good too especially the pumpkin seeds. I can’t wait to touch back down in Chicago for cafe 53!!!!!! P.S the men running the front counters look a little terrifying but I promise they are nice, and if you smile they may smile back ☺️ I love that men always run the front counter NO attitudes. Runnnnnn don’t walk to Cafe 53.

My friends and I couldn’t stop going here while we were in Chicago for the week. The sumac, Italian and garlic chicken sandwiches especially on the Dutch crunch bread were impeccable. The mint lemonade was also delicious. Staff were very friendly and kind. Highly recommend!

Love love this cafe in Hyde park. Pretty sure my husband I go about twice a week for their sandwiches. I get a beef pastrami sandwich with turkey. It’s so good the French bread is perfect to pair with their seasonal mint lemonade. It’s the best! Great service always good energy!

This place is one of my top pics for sure. I absolutely love the vibe. The food is a 10 out of 10. Everything was hot and fresh. The bread was toasted to perfection. Everything was seasoned to perfection!
Mind you, IM A VEGAN!! ❤️
If you all are looking for a great sandwich, please stop by this place! 1000/10! I’m gonna come back and post pictures of my food when I eat the other half it was so big. I could only eat half so I have a full dinner for later as well.

I came in with my 2 young children. Doing anything with kids is a challenge and the owner did everything possible to make our life easier, our time there enjoyable, and the food was amazing! Both kids enjoyed their meals and I was SO impressed with the homemade quality of food. The owner even treated us to dessert at the end. Thank you so much for such a great impromptu dinner! We’ll be back!

What an absolute gem! Wow! We were super impressed. Nice selection of sandwiches to choose from. We had an eggplant Parmesan and the Avacado eggplant. My toddler son had a grilled cheese. The eggplant Avacado was one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in a long time. And that bread – Stellar! The staff was so friendly and helpful with my questions. Such nice people. And to top
It off they had a nice little tree-shaded outdoor area with seating in the back. This place should be on every “top” list in Chicago. Top sandwiches. Top restaurants with vegan options. Top cafes with patios. We will be back!

Nice chill vibe here I’m digging. The place has a large sandwich menu and serves breakfast sandwiches all day too which is dope. You can dine in too place is not too small but it is not a big place either for seating. They also have some dessert as here as well that looks very good too. I went with the Garlic Chicken Sandwich 8.5. This a solid sandwich didn’t taste the garlic thou as much as would have liked to but still was good.
For dessert I got the carrot cake 8.9 which was very good ngl..and the Caramel Apple Cheesecake 9.1 this smacked was impressed by this one here. Absolutely delicious. But, overall the spot is super chill with some swanky music in the back while you eat.

I got the salami avocado oven baked sandwich and a chai tea latte. Both of them were PERFECT! The sizes are huge (double the one in picture) and delicious. Definitely a must to visit.
