Gallery Cafe
1760 W North Ave, Chicago, IL
Crema's Take
“Gallery Cafe transforms a corner of Chicago into a welcoming creative hub where excellent espresso drinks and inventive breakfast sandwiches (the egg sandwiches are a standout) pair perfectly with a genuinely chill vibe and local art on the walls. The baristas are genuinely warm, the coffee is thoughtfully prepared, and families linger comfortably over pour overs and pastries, though you might want to take your coffee to-go if lingering ventilation issues bother you.”

Food is great. Love the egg sandwiches. Coffee is good too. I usually take it to-go because poor ventilation. You will leave smelling like burnt panini. I wish owners would fix this for guests and employees.
Had a vanilla latte and one of their breakfast sandwiches. The baristas were welcoming and the vibes here are nice.
Great breakfast in a chill atmosphere. The Spicy Bob Ross has a little spice to it, but it doesn't mask the overall flavourness. My wife enjoyed the Manet and my daughter loved the smoothie. While eating you can watch at paintings.
I’ve come here a few times now as it’s right around the corner from my boyfriend’s place and it’s so great everytime. Good coffee, great service and I love the vibe. We always enjoy looking at the local art. The DaVinci sandwich is sooo good. Our forever local spot
I got the veggie sandwich, had hummus, avocado, tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, and onions. The avocado was more of a guacamole and there was more of that than hummus, I felt like the ratio was off and as a veggie sandwich aficionado it was not my favorite. It was on a whole wheat bread. It came with chips. I also got a cold brew. My husband got a cheesy chicken sandwich, and a hot coffee. Overall the environment was very smokey like someone had used a toaster over and over and burnt all the bread. Although the bread on my sandwich was not burnt. It was almost so Smokey my eyes were burning, and it was subtle at the same time. The art on the walls was nice but the curation was weak, everything was uneven, but not purposefully. It’s weird considering it’s called a gallery cafe.
