Chicago - Eating & Drinking - Cafes & Coffee Shops - Ice Cream Parlours
- THIS IS IN ELGIN, ILLINOIS...NOT CHICAGO -
This place is one of the sweetest and most enjoyable cafes I've been to in a long time. We stopped in for an early dinner on the way back to Chicago and found the place pretty empty, but, that was no indication of the food not being tasty. The service was excellent, very friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was extremely cozy.
I had the Grilled Chicken Salad (although the Schnitzel was extremely tempting...sadly...waistline won that battle) and the chicken you could tell was home roasted, vegetables were fresh and you could tell were not grown in a test tube. Friend had the Thai Shrimp (also delicious) and I convinced another to order the Gypsy Schnitzel with a red pepper sauce I thought was very delightful.
They start off the meal with homemade white bread, which I have to add is excellent dipped in their homemade buttermilk and Honey Bleu Cheese dressing. This is quite the little gem downtown and I hope that they continue to have much success.
Still regretting not getting a malt though...
