Crema's Take
“This Palestinian-rooted cafe brings authentic Levantine hospitality to Chicago with a distinctive Middle Eastern atmosphere that feels both cozy and creative. Beyond traditional teas and breads, Oud excels at adventurous specialty lattes like their signature oud and white mocha pistachio—perfect for adventurous coffee lovers who want to venture beyond standard espresso drinks. It's a spacious, design-forward spot ideal for lingering over work or conversation, though arrive with patience as service can be inconsistent.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.
