Outdoor Café
3257 W Bryn Mawr Ave, Chicago, IL
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.”

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.
Such a lovely spot! Cozy, relaxed vibes with a great atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. And the coffee? Absolutely delicious! This has definitely become my new favorite neighborhood stop
We were craving boba and bing soo. We ordered on the kiosk but you can also order in person. Service was pretty quick, we played with Jenna and dominos while we waited and ate. The ice in the bingsoo was a bit icier than I would like but the portion was big! I enjoyed my strawberry mango boba smoothie- I’ll have to try other flavors next time!
I love this cafe so much u will always catch me here studying or having lunch w friends after school. The atmosphere is amazing I love the vibes and the setup it’s so earthy and peaceful. It gives studio ghibli cozy cafe and the food is super hearty and filling. Also love their drinks menu they have so many delicious drinks like milk teas, loose leaf tea, boba, smoothies, and milkshakes. Their deserts are also so good I will 100% reccomend this place.
