Oud Coffee & Cafe

OUD Cafe is a wonderful spot. I ordered an iced OUD latte, and it was delicious — not overly sweet and very well balanced. They also have a great variety of desserts, and everything I tried was excellent. The staff member with blue hair was especially kind and provided outstanding service. The only downside was that the seating area in the back had a slight sewer-like smell. The restroom was very clean, so it seems to be related to the building rather than cleanliness. It wasn’t very strong, and I didn’t notice it at all near the entrance seating. Because of this, I’m giving 4 stars, but otherwise it’s a fantastic cafe and I would definitely come back.

Oud Cafe is an amazing spot,The vibe is really good and the ambience is nice and relaxing. The coffee was great, and I also tried their lemonade — it was so good and super refreshing. Perfect place to chill, meet up with friends, or just enjoy a quality drink.

Visited the cafe and ordered a Hot Chocolate and Tiramisu Cake. The cake was too soft and wet. The hot chocolate was okay, though the cream had a slightly tangy taste. The staff were friendly. The atmosphere was a bit noisy, but it’s still comfortable enough to chat.

Great coffee shop in River North with a huge menu — flavored lattes, matcha, smoothies, and a big pastry display. The dessert case is packed with options like pistachio cheesecake, tiramisu cake, stuffed dates, lemon loaf, scones, and Middle Eastern–inspired pastries. I ordered the pistachio latte and an iced Americano. Prices are slightly high, but the shop has plenty of seating and it’s tucked on a quiet block of River North, which makes it perfect for working, meeting friends, or a slow morning coffee. I arrived at 9:45 a.m. on a Sunday and it was empty, but by 10:30 a.m. it was filling up fast so it’s ideal if you want a calmer, early-morning spot. Great drinks, lots of space, amazing pastry selection, and a relaxing vibe in a busy neighborhood.

Solid spot with great middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavors. Coffee was solid and the food was solid and well portioned. Interior is a bit larger than it looks from the outside with a good amount of seating.
