Spoke & Bird Cafe (south Loop)

I am was visiting Chicago for a few days and staying at the Marriot Marquis. This was the PERFECT place. It was walking distance from the hotel and a super cute outdoor patio with fall trees, families, a few people working and some young adults like myself. I brought my computer and a book and I wish I could have stayed here the whole day. I got a latte with an extra shot (they only do 2 shots at a time so they had to charge me for 4 shots total thought I only wanted 3) and the most amazing almond croissant I’ve ever had. The coffee was okay but the croissant was 100/10.

Lovely cafe and coffee shop with unique and delicious menu. The soup and grilled cheese are great! They have amazing seasonal drinks and seating indoors and outdoors. There is WiFi, a decent amount of outlets and their selection of music in the cafe is eclectic and a mix at a volume loud of enough to enjoy but not be distracting. And the area around the cafe is gorgeous, walkable, and inviting.

Perfect spot to go for a grab and go breakfast and coffee or a sit down. The coffee was delicious, one of the best pumpkin lattes I’ve ever had. The bakery included a few vegan options, and the outdoor patio was spacious and welcoming. Very friendly atmosphere and staff.
