This place is a true gem - me and my wife were out having dinner just a couple of bloack away. We wanted something different and a great latte, well we found this place. The crepes were delicious and fresh... will be back!
Authentic, delicious European food. This place is a hidden gem.
We have stayed in this area of Chicago twice and came upon the cafe from walking around the neighborhood. The food was always excellent! We recommend the tomato soup, feta dip and the oatmeal for breakfast.
Service is always great, too. We ate here multiple times each stay and it has become our favorite little place in Chicago!
Great breakfast place and best Chai Latte. They remember me, what I like to eat, how I want my coffee, just super personable.
Great crepes and salads, delicious coffee, super nice ownership/service, relaxed atmosphere. European-style cafe = great coffee and tea but also real food for meals, and alcohol, and you're not expected to jet instantly upon finishing your food. I love working here on my laptop and it's a great spot to catch up with a friend or business associate to chat too.
Excellent Bailey's Latte, Phenomenal Bougasta, Tasty Old Fashioned! Looking forward to trying other menu items. Great location and atmosphere.
Always go there when in Chicago. Great breakfast!!
One of the best "Greek" places to be!!! The crepes are awesome!!! And off course Greek cafe!!!
Iguana Cafe is amazing!!! All the food I have ever eaten is excellent...crepes, pasta, wraps, everything! Kosta makes the BEST freddo cappuccino ever!! Excellent service all around!!
It's a great place to relax and enjoy the smooth atmosphere.Great food!!!
Wonderful Staff...
For my first time, I was super impressed. Great service and amazing food and coffee/drinks. We all had various crepes - I had “Sparta”, it was so yum. My white mocha was really good as well. Definitely coming back.
Hidden just off the main street very discreet. Food was amazing and reasonably priced, wish I came here earlier. Pizza tasted as good as pizza does when you’re a kid. Atmosphere was very nice, seems good for dates or something casual and relaxed. Crepes were a highlight too, had the one with spicy feta.
This restaurant is an absolute hidden gem. We live in the suburbs and came down before an event for Sunday brunch. The crepes are enormous and so fresh. We had one savory and one sweet and the food is outstanding and high quality. The restaurant itself is so cute and makes outstanding coffee. Pretty easy to park in front and not a congested area. Do not hesitate!
Amazing restaurant! I am not a huge fan of crepes but omg these are honestly so good. The atmosphere is very cozy. I went with 2 friends I hadn’t seen in a while & we sat there for 3 hours. The waitress didn’t make us feel rushed at all & was still tentative which we appreciated because we knew we were there a long time. Granted there was no one waiting for us. I would highly recommend coming here for breakfast on a weekend.
This place was amazing! I usually pass by hore on Sundays. Today on my way back I decided to try it out. I am in love with this place. The crepe was very light and delicious (Spartan Crepe). I added bacon to it and With the sauce that they add it was a very satisfying and delicious selection.
Now if there is something that I like is Tiramisu. If I go somewhere and they have one on the manu, I'm going to try it. This is by far, the best Tiramisu I've ever had. The tiramisu was great and they add an especially delicious coffee whipped mousse that in combination with the tiramisu, I was blown away by the flavor. If you are around the area or if you are looking for a good place to eat without spending a ridiculous amount of money, please, do yourself a favor and eat here. Absolutely amazing!
I've really only had the seafood mac n cheese, but it was incredible! This was our 2nd visit. We drove in from Michigan. My daughter lives across the street and we called to let her know we needed to make a stop so we could have it again. And a pretty terrific Bloody Mary too. She says the crepes are fabulous. Maybe next time.
Incredible food! Have been wanting to visit this restaurant for years just from word of mouth. I finally had the time to visit today and it did not disappoint! Had a hard time deciding what to eat because literally everything on the menu was so different and sounded delicious! I ended up taking a few appetizers to go and had their salmon bagel on the spot. Everything was incredible! What a hidden gem!
My wife and I found this place about 5 years ago and we've been going there at least once a year. Everything we've tried there is very good. The service is good and the atmosphere is very dark and cozy. It feels romantic to us so we usually go there for desert and coffee. Their Tiramisu is one of the best I've ever had. I highly recommend it.
Very nice. Food was delicious. I will be returning 🤗 Mediterranean feast as your app, burger wrap, tropical pleasure for dessert. Yum yum

So Iguana Cafe has been a great place to meet up with friends and have a drink or coffee, for me. The atmosphere is inviting and the vibe is great. As I continued to go there I eventually had meals there. They have a great menu with options for all 3 meals of the day, but to me their Turkey Ranch Wrap is amazing and I recommend it to anyone looking for a quick high quality bite.
One of the best European cafes I’ve ever been too. I am definitely recommending this place if you love European Appetizers, Sweet and Savory Crepes, Belgian Waffles, Sandwiches, pastas and Specially their Desserts and Coffee.
They also serve Wines, Cocktails and beers. Also have Coffee Liquors.
My friends and I tried Savory Crepes and Bougatsa (very special item) - must try.
Everything was delicious.
Overall, my dinner at Iguana Cafe was enjoyable. The restaurant has a laid-back atmosphere with dim mood lighting. It seems to be set up for one-on-one dates primarily, though I saw a couple larger groups in the upper seating area. I ordered the Mac + Cheese w/ bacon and mushrooms and the Chicken Pesto sandwich. The Mac + Cheese was delicious, really flavorful and savory. The sandwich was decent, but besides the chicken being tender and juicy, it really lacked flavor. It tasted like a functional on-the-go meal more than something I’d receive at a sit-down restaurant. Still, the atmosphere, service, and Mac + Cheese made the experience really nice.
Still one of my fav cafes in the Chicago area. The coffee and food are great and the wait staff is friendly and helpful. The only drawback is the street meter parking is expensive (meter parking went up to a whopping $10 dollars an hour.)
Cute place with delicious food! I'd probably put a little less Nutella on the crepe, but that's just my personal preference. It was still delicious.
It was really nice to work here! I took out my laptop and studied for about 3 hours - our server was awesome. Crepes were a nice treat as well. Will definitely be returning.
Great cool European lounge atmosphere. Surprisingly good value, I’ll be back whenever I’m in the neighborhood.
Great lunch spot. I call in before I leave my house and they have my lunch ready by time I walk there. This is my go to place for lunch in this neighborhood. And their vibe inside is Euro Cozy.
