Excellent Small Meal...

by Ghughze

The food is great, though a little on the stingy side of the portions scale. Great soups and panini's! Big fan of the apple infused slaw. The dining experience (if you chose to eat here) is a little cold... definitely could use a little improvement. Overall, definitely worth the stop in! Enjoy!

• Pros: Delicious soup & sub shop..
• Cons: cold atmosphere

South Loop cafe combines an extensive tea selection and gourmet sandwiches with an atmosphere that's an homage to vintage Chicago.

In Short
Collector-quality teapots line the walls of this funky, bright cafe where a younger crowd fuels up on more than 50 varieties of tea. It's a study hall with a bit of distraction thrown in: Above the laptops and groups of chatty Columbia students, live concerts stream on flatscreens. A well-stocked cooler in the back houses baked goods, salads and fruit cups, but a standard selection of soups and sandwiches is also available.
