Reviews for Spoke & Bird Cafe (South Loop) in Chicago, IL
Decent cafe in the park. Expect to order and wait outside. Their restrooms are around the corner in the other main building, and... definitely aren't enough for the amount of seating they have. We came in the afternoon when there weren't many people and we'restill waiting in line. I also thought the outside table setup was a bit unfortunate when they had a normal inside cafe. I'mguessing that that was COVID reasoning, but when everywhere else allows people inside it felt a bit out of place. I wasn't ahuge fan of their mimosa, but their marg was good. Read more
Beautiful cafe with good ambience, friendly staff and good coffee. I wish customers would receive real mugs for dine-in. All... drinks are served in single-use plastic cups. The amounts of unnecessary waste produced hurts to see. Read more
Cute little neighborhood cafe with only outdoor seating available. Cafe serving great soups + salads, sandwiches, pastries, and... all day breakfast options. The food was okay, nothing special. A great place to grab coffee with a friend if you live nearby inthe neighborhood but I wouldn’t seek this place out. Read more
Walked here from nearby hotel, easy walk and went through a nice park that this outdoor eatery is nice to. Weather was nice and... made the experience great. I had their egg sandwich and was quite surprised with how much I liked it, I guess a farm to tableshould be able to elevate simple ingredients. Read more
Lovely dining experience on their patio. Burger was surprisingly good(could have used a tiny more seasoning in meat). Side salad... was good. Huge variety of beer for lunch. Overall maybe a bit pricey for what you get but quality and setting are there. Read more
Spoke & bird is a really cute and cozy neighborhood spot. The back patio is so gorgeous especially this time of year. The coffee... is pretty good and so is the food. I also love their location. Not only is it close to everything in South Loop, it’s locatedright by a really cute park. Love going here! Read more
Went here for some afternoon coffee and picked up a slice of banana bread as well. I got a banana bread latte and a slice of... banana bread. The banana bread latte I couldn't really taste the banana bread in the latte but the actual banana bread wasdelicious. The latte tasted more like just like a latte with like a little bit of cinnamon taste I guess I was expecting more ofa banana bread taste but nonetheless it was good. The staff was really friendly and helpful when it came to the menu. I'll besure to swing by again and have some more coffee before I leave. Update- my wife and I came back for breakfast this morning andit was amazing. I had the biscuits and gravy and she had the seasonal grits and both were really really good. Also I found outthat the banana bread latte that I had the day before is actually made by taking some of the banana bread ends and instead ofusing syrups which makes me feel way better about the latte I had and changes the whole review that I wrote so I'm going toupgrade this to a five star. The staff that worked yesterday was also there today and were absolutely amazing again so nicekind everything you would want when you go to a restaurant or coffee shop and definitely will be going back again before I leaveChicago.

The patio is quite nice, and I’m sure is a very nice place to sit under nice conditions. When we arrived they were fighting... against the rain elements, so the ordering process was inside and some pickup inside and some outside which created confusion. The classic breakfast with bacon was good but the breakfast as a whole party came out quite separate (15min apart from 1 drinkto the next drink / breakfast). Last opportunity is when a different groups order came out the young lady dropped one of theboxes and it rolled away. Picked up by a patron is was stacked back in the food pile and given to the customer. Probablyshould have been a new rush on that. May have just been the day but certainly some opportunities for improvement. Read more
