Lucy's Cafe

Vegan Breakfast options - my experience at Lucys was good. Therefore I will rate it 4/5. Here is why: Let’s begin with the food: I ordered the vegan blueberry pancakes, Tofu Scramble, coffee, Orange Juice. This is how I rate the Food & Drinks The Orange Juice was unexpectedly a solid 5/5! Freshly pressed and very refreshing. “Tofu Scramble” with onions & mushrooms, was also pretty good 3.5/4 from 5. It tasted good and healthy; but nothing out of the ordinary. The Blueberry Pancakes were a 3/5 at most. (in My opinion) I have had many vegan pancakes in many different places and tasted better. The Texture of the pancakes were opposite of Fluffy. The moment I tried cutting the stacked pancakes, they were kind of mushed together in a big mass. Almost as if it were a chewy cookie. Perhaps it was due to a lack of backing powder. The Coffee was just regular coffee, but I have definitely had better. 2/5. Regarding the Atmosphere, it gave off a “homey” or and cozy feeling. The decoration was also friendly and comforting. Service: Overall, a good service, without reservation, we did immediately get a table. BUT! I would recommend reservations for this place, within a 20 minutes Later, the place was pretty packed! If you’re looking for a quiet homey place to have some breakfast and good orange juice! This is a good option. Their Vegan selection in the menu was ok. You will find it in their Menu all the way at the bottom with the title “Eggless”. Thanks for supporting the customers decision, to go against animal cruelty and offering vegan alternatives. For more impressions, have a look at the attached videos and pictures. Take care & Bon Appetit!

First time checking out Lucy’s and I’m not at all disappointed. I ordered the raspberry French toast and it was just as I’d hoped - flavorful, fluffy, and with just the right amount of raspberries. The portion was perfect, in my opinion. There weren’t too many people there and only one server at the time so I understand. However, I didn’t get checked on, even once, during my meal. Either way, I’ll definitely be back to try more of their yummy dishes!

Lucy's Cafe has been on our to try list for many years now and we just happened to be in the area the other day and decided to go for lunch. We were pleasantly surprised at the large selection of the menu. We ended up trying the bacon burger and quesadillas, both which were very flavorful and filling. I opted for the homemade burger instead of the Impossible one. It had a really nice texture and interesting flavor compared to other places. We would definitely go to try more of the menu items and maybe pop in for breakfast one day since a large selection of the menu was more breakfast heavy. Over a highly recommend this place for anyone that's a vegetarian or vegan.

First time here was on Mother’s Day. We came in looking for a table for 2 and they said it would be a 30 minute wait which was completely understandable given what day it was however, we ended up waiting an hour 30 minutes on the dot for a table. While we were a bit frustrated by the unexpected wait our overall experience was great. The food was delicious and the service was very good. We will definitely be back in the near future!

It is the BEST vegan/veggie brunch place in Chicago. They have so many great options and many vegan options or ways to make a dish vegan. I highly recommend their bottomless chai (on weekends) and we were so impressed by their waffle pizza?! It's wild but I will be getting it again. It gets real busy just FYI, the space is small and well loved so you may have to wait a bit and it'll be a little cramped but well worth it.

We were in town for an event and leaving back home when we stopped here for brunch. The wait time was a bit long since we had a big group. Martin (the chef and the person taking orders) was very nice and made sure we were taking care of since we had to catch a flight. They are short staff so they service will be slow. The food is good! We had the Veggie tofu scramble w. Banana Walnuts Pancakes, fresh Oj and some other stuff (can't remember what all we had) but everything was seasoned very well. Our kiddos loved the potatoes. We enjoyed our brunch and we'll definitely return when we come back to Chicago! Updated: Returned to Lucy's Cafe today, good is still delicious. Food came out quick and fresh! Service was better than our last visit. Hopefully, the service and the food remains the same. Will definitely be back to eat!! 🌱💚
