Crema's Take

Oromo Cafe is where you go for Ethiopian and Turkish coffee traditions done right, paired with uncommon pastries like teff cookies and spicy potato pogacha that you genuinely can't find anywhere else in the neighborhood. The baristas are generous with samples of their housemade alternative milks, and the small, quiet space strikes that rare balance of being cozy enough to linger over a laptop but distinctive enough to feel like a genuine discovery. If you're tired of the same croissant-and-cappuccino routine, this is your answer.

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, outdoor seating. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly. Parking available.

Amazing atmosphere, delicious food, great service. We’re visiting Chicago for the week and actually want to come here tomorrow morning because we loved it so much!! With all the wonderful options available in Chicago, that’s saying a lot.

Unique pastry offerings along side hard to find Turkish coffee. Interior is small but cozy and reasonably quiet. Drip coffee was solid and the food offerings have items you won't find elsewhere. Very worth your time to drop in and stay a while.

Just come here, that’s all I can say. Everything here is amazing. A few things I would recommend is there oatmeal cranberry cookie or almond butter cookie. Hot or iced capuchino with their homemade hazelnut milk. Everyone here is so wonderful, and nice it makes the experience…
