Depot 226
226 W Jackson Blvd, Chicago, IL
Crema's Take
“Tucked away in the heart of Chicago, Depot 226 feels like a welcoming refuge where the cozy, small-town charm perfectly complements a lively atmosphere that draws both hotel guests and locals alike. Beyond their thoughtfully executed traditional coffee drinks, this spot shines as a full-service kitchen where you can linger over breakfast, lunch, or a late-night meal—think excellent charcuterie boards, fresh flatbreads, and sliders alongside genuinely friendly service. It's the kind of place where you instantly feel at home, whether you're settling in for a long sit or catching up with someone over exceptional food and coffee.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Open late.
