Crema's Take

“Geraldine's is Chicago's go-to for house-made pastries that rival dedicated bakeries—the banana chocolate tahini muffins and cinnamon roll lattes are legitimately worth seeking out. The cozy, welcoming vibe makes it perfect for lingering over breakfast or cold brew, though service can be inconsistent depending on who's behind the counter.”

What to expect

Cold brew standout. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly. Parking available.

I’ve mostly just come here for their lattes. The cinnamon roll latte is my favorite. Up until now I always forgot to take a photo. The vibes here are always welcoming and the place is cozy.

Great food!! Server was so rude. Super passive aggressive. Very blunt and slammed our drinks on the table. Not sure what we did wrong to upset her. Hope she pulls it together 🫡

They have the best baked goods in Chicago! The banana chocolate tahini muffins are out of this world, and the cupcakes are better than any other “cupcake” shop in the city — hands down. I just tried an oatmeal pumpkin cookie sandwich and wow, it was incredible. The baker is…

I love the homemade pastries and the best and freshest in the neighborhood. And the cold brew is the best cold brew ever in my life. You will be addicted to this lovely cafe. Make sure you try the sister restaurant “Jerry’s” as well.

Unfortunately delicious - it's all just so decadent and tempting! Baked goods every bit as good as they look and so was the breakfast sandwich (I ordered it without the avocado and arugula which would have made it far more picturesque). The potatoes are phenomenal too.
