Outdoor Cafe

Crema's Take
“Outdoor Café is a warm, earthy gathering spot in Albany Park where the staff genuinely know their craft, especially with creative signatures like their recommended strawberry matcha that keeps people coming back. With its mix of cozy indoor nooks and ample outdoor seating, plus quick service at the kiosk, it's become the neighborhood's go-to place for studying, meeting friends, or lingering over excellent coffee and light bites in an atmosphere that somehow feels both lively and peaceful at once.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

The atmosphere is good but around 3ish it gets packed with kids and it gets really loud. The drinks are okay not the greatest but they aren't the worst. I can see what they are trying to build. The bakery snacks all come from packages. I won't be coming back
This place has such a great energy. Bright light, nicely decorated, very nice friendly helpful staff. I had the strawberry matcha recommended by staff and it was delicious. I’ll definitely go back and you should too!
If you're ever in Albany Park, please try this place! The atmosphere is a super cozy, down to earth type of place. Lots of indoor seating, individual and communal + ample benches outside. So many AFFORDABLE food, drink and smoothie options w/ super friendly staff. Will be back.
