Great experience. As a tourist from Seattle, this cafe presents Wicker Park neighborhood very well to me. Great atmosphere, great music, great bagel (I ordered Davinci + avocado spread). Great outdoor seats outdoor. Price is reasonable too. Great staff, very friendly. I recommend to whoever stays in Wicker Park Airbnb for their Chicago trip!

Chill atmosphere and friendly staff. Great little coffee shop to have around the corner.

Gallery Cafe has some of the best lattes in the city hands-down. Their breakfast sandwiches are always great on-the-go, and both of their signature smoothies are unique, great for an energy boost. They have constantly rotating local art throughout the cafe which never disappoints!

One of the best coffee shops in Chicago. Massive supporter of local artists too! Ive had the pleasure of showcasing my artwork here and love the atmosphere. I recommend a smoothie or latte!

Cute and cozy corner spot with really cute creatively-named menu items! Love the atmosphere: fun music, interesting art by local artists for sale on the walls, and the folks behind the counter are super kind and friendly! Almost everything is made to order and super delicious too. 😋

The cafe had a good atmosphere, medium amount of seating, and the cold brew was nice. They roast the beans in house which is nice, adds quality to cup. They can print foam art which is pretty cool. No complaints.

The coffee here is incredible. I bought beans to make it at home, but it didnt quite live up to a fresh cup from the cafe. I wish they had vegan sandwiches and pastries, but they do have plant-based milk options. Love looking at the rotating art installations and massive plant collection.

Coffee and breakfast sandwich were great. Smoothie really good too. Fast and friendly.

Yummy lattes and artistic vibes. Cute outdoor patio and friendly staff.

Stopped in to check out the Stop Complaining and Kiss Me! collection and grab a drink. I got a soy blackberry rosemary latte which was delicious, and a cinnamon crunch muffin. Plenty of alternative milks and good breakfast and lunch options. Will be back soon!

Great sandwiches, pastries, and coffee. Try the Manet sandwich!

Amazing coffee. Amazing food. Amazing art.

Good food, good people and good place. This cafe offered me comfort and joy during my visit. Will come back here. Thanks.

Great coffee and oat milk option. Lovely dog friendly sidewalk patio.

Lovely people and great food. Had fun at tonights show!

Awesome place to get your work done and enjoy art while sipping on some really good coffee. My personal favorite is a hot Claudel. Very nice baristas to complete this very enjoyable place! GREAT PRICES

Love this place! First of all look at this latte art! But the staff was super friendly, coffee delicious, super calm atmosphere, reliable wifi, and plenty of outlets and seating. Its a smaller place, but we had no problem finding a place to get settled and knock out some work.

Amazing cafe, solid five stars for you!

It has a very nice vibe and their muffins are great.

A great neighborhood stop to get a morning coffee or a sandwich

TLDR : very comfortable, affordable and quality.The food is simple but very good. Options aren’t a problem as the menu is very accommodating.The drinks are good but nothing unique/different. In a lot of ways that’s good. I like a place where I know what to expect.The seating is slightly awkward but in a cute cozy way. There is way more than enough seating so finding a spot shouldn’t be an issue at all.I would love to see more art by more artists but that’s not a deal breaker for me.A++++++

Honestly I couldn’t say better things about these guys. Amazing food, smoothies are A MUST HAVE. And it’s hella affordable and super high quality. SUPPORT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SPOTS GUYS! 💯🎨☕️

Rude way to start my morning. All I wanted was an almond milk latte, not a lecture on why science makes no difference.

If anyone wants to know what this area used to be like before it became more established, go here. I usually dont hang out in Wicker Park anymore because my life has changed, but I spent a lot of time here several years ago, basically around the time this place started. The drinks are good and the atmosphere is relaxed and creative. They also didnt seem to mind that I spent a lot of the afternoon here doing different stuff. This place really captures what the city used to be, in a good way.

Excellent coffee! Check it out.

Lots of comfy seating, light, and outlets. Took a star cause the wifi would drop every 30min

I really enjoyed their Mane (egg/provolone cheese/pesto sandwich between choice of your bread; I chose croissant)! Cozy hip-like atmosphere in Bucktown area, got that unique Chicago neighborhood feel to it. The chai I ordered was pretty decent too in my opinion.

Really delicious coffees in a cool location!

Lovely place with creative sandwiches and good coffee drinks!

Pretty good espresso and a friendly environment

One of my favorite coffee shops in Chicago. The oat milk latte is on point, service is great and I love the rotating art from local artists.

Cold Brew was great.

Great local place. Been coming here pretty regularly, during peak hours keep in mind there will be a bit of a wait and well worth it.

Amazing coffee, definitely my go to when I am in the area!

Art, great coffee, friendly staff... What else do you need in a neighborhood favorite?

Super unimpressed. Muffins are insanely greasy and their white chocolate mocha was pretty bland and overall disappointing. Had high hopes based on other people’s reviews and more than likely won’t return.

Spicy Bob Ross Sandwich was 😍❤️ Thank goodness I’m just visiting town or that would become a bad addiction. Highly recommend even during COVID they had great precautions and I felt safe!!

First off, you smell from blocks away the coffee. When I entered, I quickly realized that they roast there own coffee inside the shop which is amazingly different then your “average coffee shop.” The coffee taste was so fresh! I also had an amazing grilled chicken sandwich! The atmosphere was perfect and superb customer service. Definitely recommend Gallery Cafe!

Super friendly staff. Delicious tea! Todays flavor was blueberry hibiscus. The had stevia for sweetener too!

Such great cafe! Love the vibe and the beautiful art work displayed

First, its NOT Starbucks. Support local. Their theme is art and, as such, one can purchase the art that is on display- another nice touch. The coffee is good and so are the art-themed sandwiches. Simply, a comfortable place to read, have a latte and lunch on a pastry or sandwich.

A Bucktown fixture for over 20 years. Friendly staff, great coffee and more.

Nice local spot. Be prepared to wait a bit if you get a sandwich. Worth it !

Really great coffee, enjoyed the atmosphere, knowledgeable staff. They have lots of food in addition to coffee and tea options.

The Kandinsky is the best breakfast sandwich Ive ever had - it is a work of art.They have sweets, too.

Good coffee. Great street views. Art on the wall. Quiet. Free WiFi. Tiny restroom. Raggedy seating. Pretty standard coffee shop. Wasnt blown away, but it did the job.

Stopped here for a quick lunch. The wait was a little longer than I would have wanted (maybe 10 to 15 minutes for a toasted sandwich), but it was quite good, as was the latte. I didnt stay long, but it had a nice, artsy atmosphere as well. There were a few people there working on laptops and it seemed like a good place to do so.

Been to Gallery a bunch of times. Whether meeting for work, or just popping in for a quick cup of coffee (and their freshly roasted coffee is always delicious) Im always greeted at the door with a smile which is refreshing. In addition to the coffee I really enjoy the sandwiches (The Monet is my go to). Rotating artwork pieces keeps this place fun and entertaining. Cant wait for the patio to open up!

One of the worst coffee experiences I have had in Chicago. They cancelled my order on the Joe Coffee app as I was walking in. By doing so charging my card 2x, 70 dollars was expensive for a day of coffee expenses even if 30 was being returned in a couple days. I had to re order all of the food and coffee, and it would have been alright if the coffee and food was good.... but all of the drinks were wrong. I didn’t know an iced americano had milk in it. 🤷🏻‍♂️ The main issue is that I waited in the coffee shop as many of the other customers we served and addressed, I was not given information until I had waited for 45 minutes after prying the barista. Too much expended. I need coffee

Great stop in my morning routine! Delicious home roasted brew!

Amazing atmosphere. Cozy local place, tucked in a heart of the city. Ive visited an art show hosted by Mrs. Gordana whos pictures just made this place even better!

The lady there wouldnt give me ice for my coffee

Pretty standard coffee place. Its very nice to just go and work no one bothers you at all. Better atmosphere than Starbucks in my opinion.

The staff was very friendly and personable. I ordered the Kahlo breakfast burrito and it was cooked perfectly. Small, cozy atmosphere, so not a large seating selection, but highly recommended for a quick stop or a sit down when there isn’t a crowd.

First of all they roast their own coffee beans. Again, they roast their own coffee. Previously visited for coffee and a few weeks later for a Sofar show. The staff is very friendly and the patrons are too.

I love this place. Best Americano out of all coffee shops in Chicago. They have a different way of roasting their beans that give it a great flavor. They also have quite a good selection of sandwiches. Highly recommend it and they often have art nights. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone.

I love this spot! It’s one of my favorite places to drop in for a snack, smoothie(Power Monkey), and some reading on the weekends.

Prices a touch on the upper side, but beans are fresh, coffee smooth, friendly service, if im in the area ill stop by again no problem

Good place, not great. Coffee is alright, maybe above average. Service is a little slow. The almond Croissant tastes good but its hard and a little dry on the inside. Not a bad place to ha d out to have a quick pastry with coffee.

Good food and low prices with a chill atmosphere. Doesn’t “try to hard” like many other places in the area. Love that they are proponents and a vector to display local art and music. Staff is always genuine and friendly!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. Great coffee, the best staff, and a charming interior. The coffee rotates when the beans run out providing an opportunity to try coffee from different parts of the world. The best part? Finally coffee that doesnt give me heart burn.

Nice cafe to meet and collaborate with others. Its even a great space to go to when you need some space to work. Great smoothies!

This place has really turned around under the new management, the coffee used to be burnt and sad but now its really good! The roaster that greets you when you enter makes for a great atmosphere. The art exhibitions that have started here are also great, good selection of work and the artist talk was a blast.

Art-supported quality coffee shop with a cozy work environment and friendly staff.

Awesome coffee and breakfast sandwiches. Also open for lunch. All the sandwiches are named after famous painters and the plates are cute ceramic palettes.

I went here on a weekday to do some school work. The barista made a great london fog! The music wasn’t too loud, which I appreciated. I was able to concentrate/ read. The atmosphere is a bit cold inside, but other than that it’s a great little spot!

Get the Claudel! So very good!

First time being there. I enjoyed the vibe real chill and relaxing good food. Ill definitely be back.

The quality of the food is really mediocre. Be aware that nothing here is fresh. Regardless of how good it sounds on the menu, every ingredient was pretty low quality. The service is extremely slow as well. I arrived at 5:43 with an appointment at the nearby Windy Kitty Cafe (which cant actually serve food/drink). There were three people in line ahead of me. I ordered a breakfast sandwich and between waiting in line and waiting for the food, I didnt receive it until 6:04. That just seems like an exceptionally long wait for a quick bite that isnt even fresh or made in a kitchen.

Great breakfast sandwiches to go. The iced Kona coffee was delicious. I told the cashier that I was driving all the way to Sioux Falls, SD that day and he packed me extra napkins and wished me a safe trip when I left. Nice people in a nice place.

Great place for excellent coffee and tea. Delicious sandwiches. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great place to work alone or meet with others.

I live close by so I go here a lot on my way to the blue line. Good espresso and great service. They roast their coffee in house, and it is fun to watch when the air roaster is fluffing the beans. There are outlets available and free WiFi. They also occasionally host art/music nights after hours featuring local musicians and artist.

Love this spot. Go ALL the time.

Got the Rothko. Was delicious and a good choice, I just wish I had known that the herbs they steeped it in were still at the bottom of the cup, or that they strained it would be even better. The bagel was a little pricey and also a little burnt around the edges, but otherwise good.

Kadinsky breakfast sandwich was good. Drip coffee was fine. They have some plates that looked like painting pallettes, which is charming.

Went here three days in a row, it was the closest place to my AirBnB for coffee. The coffee was good but was self serve and reminded me of a pouring my own coffee at a gas station. The coffee selection didnt include descriptions of the coffees and were only listed by name. I like places that describe their coffees so I know what to expect in terms of flavour and strength.The sandwiches that I had were well thought out and tasty, however Im fairly certain the bacon on one of my sandwiches was microwaved.The only thing that really put me off about the place was the staff who were not very lively at all. They gave a minimum amount of service but nothing more.

Gallery Cafe has lovely ambiance, a fantastic space, great staff, amazing food and world-class coffee. Abled people are strongly encouraged to eat here!For the disabled: the counter is too high for wheelchair users to reach and the café is up an external step. After the external step the interior is all accessible, with no less than seven (!!) tables that are at wheelchair height, an unusual quantity for a restaurant, especially a small café. Were there an available ramp, it would be a great place for wheelchair users to eat.The menu is all written on the walls and there is no large print paper version available; the tea menu is in size 8-10 font on paper without high contrast and virtually illegible.They sell pastries from the day before for $1, a good price for poorer patrons who need to get inside.Were Gallery Cafe more friendly to disabled customers, it would be one of the best coffeeshops in Chicago.

Good food, good prices, good service

Great people very nice and comfy place to chill or do some work.

This is a really cool idea for a place. Their coffee was pretty good. Customer service was a bit spotty. Could have just been a bad day for the barista.

Oh my how this is da spot.......bar none.... One needs not ask why especially when it comes down to what youre looking for in a exuberating fix love it

My favorite neighborhood coffee shop! Perfect roasted coffee, very friendly staff and great sandwich. They also have great events and promte very talented local artist.

Coffee was good, also had a breakfast burrito with sausage that was excellent. Nice neighborhood coffee shop.

This quaint cafe may just be one of the kept secrets of Chicago. I stumbled on this Cafe one day & was pleasantly pleased with the atmosphere, the service and the coffee is outstanding. From the first visit, Im drawn to this cafe everytime I visit the area. The baristas make an amazing cup of coffee far better than the big coffee chains. There are times they may have a local performer play which is a nice addition when sipping coffee. However, today I tried the food and once again this cafe exceed expectations. I wish this cafe all success you guys have earn a positive review. We need places like yours.

This is my fave office - the OKeefe sandwich is my go to.

Really cute, small cafe with touches of sweet art like a palette clock

Cute, cozy coffee shop. Quickly became one of my favorites when I was in Bucktown

🍌 mango smoothie and frosted doughnut. Cozy place. Roasted coffee while we were there.

Power monkey drink smoothie thing was delicious!! Cool little spot!

The employees here are great, they were clearly going the extra mile to be accommodating. Very chill cafe with delicious drinks and sandwiches.

Nice place to visit that got things you might be looking for

Good coffee. Very friendly employees. Cool artwork that rotates on the walls and events for the artists.

Cute cafe where local art is shown and sold. They roast their own beans!
