Have come here twice now and the food and drinks are amazing! Service was good but not special, they seems to be rushed all the time. Definitely try this place, but it does get full on both floors so be prepared to wait sometimes. There will be something for everyone to try and they are open to minor customizations if needed. There is the lot with the laundry mat that is restaurant parking as well as a larger lot down the block. Ticket person frequents the area so don’t risk parking incorrectly.

Unfortunately I’m one of the guest that I didn’t enjoy this restaurant!!!!!
Definitely i will never comeback, We were excited to try this location. If you want the experience of ” nice ” restaurant ,for pictures are nice.
To dine in, is a big NO Quality of food is really poor, super overpriced for Quality, make sure you make the right question for your order, also you can’t substitute any item, because apparently ” The server admitted that he didn’t communicate properly ” and still charged for extra item. But definitely what was more disturbing is when I released safety violations.
As a restaurant they should provide proper training on practice for safety knowledge and skills needed to do their work safely for them and the guest to avoid or create hazard conditions on the restaurant and food.
I realized that the two employees hosting and setting, at the same time where cleaning the tables with the same wiping cloth over and over re-use without having in on a proper sanitation container.
They used for the tables, menus and door !!!! Never see it change, rinsed for more than 40 min. Or wash hands every time they clean a table !!!!!!!
Definitely disgusting. No wonder all day we have stomach pain

awesome experience. I ordered La Catedral, it came with cafe de olla and orange juice. Delicious potatoes, plantains, and salsa. My boyfriend ordered the breakfast quesadillas which he really liked.

We came here after some posts on Instagram, we wanted to support the Little Village community given the state of things right now. Best chilaquiles I’ve ever had and the pancakes were super fluffy and perfect. Also, I love the enormous cup of coffee novelty. We definitely will come back!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Authentic Sanctuary of Mexican Flavors in Chicago!
Catedral Cafe is a true hidden gem that offers more than just a meal—it offers a transportive experience. Step inside and leave the bustling Chicago streets behind; you’ve entered a serene, beautifully appointed space that feels like a peaceful sanctuary. The walls, adorned with stunning religious iconography and traditional Mexican artwork, create an atmosphere that is both reverent and warmly inviting. It’s the perfect setting for a quiet moment of reflection or a heartfelt conversation.
But the true divinity here is found on the menu.
Let’s start with the Café de la Olla. This is not just coffee; it’s a ritual in a cup. Brewed with cinnamon and piloncillo sugar, each sip is a warm, aromatic, and deeply comforting embrace. It’s the kind of soul-warming drink that you crave on a chilly morning or as the perfect finish to any meal. Without a doubt, it’s the best Café de la Olla I’ve found outside of a Mexican abuela’s kitchen.
And the delights don’t stop there. Their natural juices are an absolute revelation. Fresh, vibrant, and bursting with real fruit flavor, they are the perfect antidote to overly sweetened, artificial drinks.
The entire experience is elevated by the genuinely kind and welcoming staff who make you feel like an honored guest in their home.
Catedral Cafe is a blessing to Chicago’s dining scene. It’s a place where beautiful decor, soulful food, and authentic drinks come together to create something truly special. If you’re searching for an authentic taste of Mexico and a respite for your soul, this is your destination.
Your search for the perfect Café de la Olla ends here. This place is nothing short of heavenly.

Premier spot in the little village area and has been growing since I’ve been going the last 15 years, great selection of Mexican breakfast and brunch options. The food will not disappoint, the service is superb and very welcoming and accommodating. I’d recommend this spot to anyone just coming to visit the city, looking for a new spot to try out or just to enjoy a good wholesome bite. La Catedral knows how to do it well

Literally so worth your money. When they say large they mean it. First of all they ask if there are any mobility issues which is very valid and appreciated, not many places will ask that or take it into account. Got the Rompope Cappuccino (and I don’t really like coffee) and it was so so so good. Big portion sizes and totally worth your money. Wish I lived closer because that Cappuccino was bomb.

Always super full, but Café de Olla is my absolute favorite. Reminds me of the homemade cafe, the olla from my memaws’ house in CDMX. The waffles are a literal dream, topped high with fresh fruits and whipped cream. And the chilaquiles are the best for a hearty breakfast. But I always love trying new things from their menu; they always take me away with their flavors and plentiful dishes. My tip is to get on the waitlist online before you arrive so you won’t have to wait as long. But if you arrive without doing the waitlist in advance be prepared to wait.
