Bourgeois Pig Cafe

It’s a vibe, go here. The first time —my sandwich took 40 minutes to get to me, which is an extremely wild wait time for a sandwich. But it was a Sunday, so I’ll let it go. I didn’t realize it came with chips until my second trip here. Nevertheless, it’s a vibe at night to study there, it seems like you are in a movie, it’s dope. The food is okay, but the drinks are awesome. All the staff members are wearing cool hats, I respect that’s. Check it out.

The food and coffees are amazing. We come here nearly weekly. But, this place needs an “eat it and beat it” policy. Every time we come, we see the main indoor areas filled with people on their laptops doing work, and they haven’t ordered anything in a while. It forces people to eat outside even in the fall when it’s 40 degrees. Would be 5/5 if they didn’t let people loiter for hours in the dining area.

Had the Hobbit Sandwich, pecan pie, chocolate chip scone, and Jamaican latte. Everything was five stars. However it was pretty crowded when we got there and the wait was pretty long. I would say the serving sizes and the taste make the food definitely worth the wait; but probably not the best choice if you're on the clock. The location is elegant, academic, and a bit hipster-y, a good place to bring clients or your in-laws for lunch if you want to impress with a sense of culture + value for money.

Great place for coffee and sandwiches. Nice outdoor seating area, unique Great Gatsby type of vibe inside. Large menu of sandwiches and panini. The panini were very good, not cheap, but they were big, so the price is fair. The cappuccino I had was really good, but I wish there were mugs for dine-in guests. Paper cups don't do justice to the lavish 1920s decor. I really enjoyed my visit here and will definitely come back on my next trip to Chicago!

Honestly, what is not to love about this place? Tucked away into a lovely little corner of Lincoln Park, full of kitschy charm and delicious bites lies the Bourgeois Pig Cafe. We chose a cafe table outside (because the inside was full - we're looking at you, solo diner who took the largest table all to yourself during lunch hour 🤨) and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Two sodas, two bags of chips, and two rather large sandwiches set us back around $33 after tip. A little pricey? Yes. But also, our sandwiches were very tasty and, as mentioned, large!

We got a regular iced latte and a Chai Tea Latte to go. Flavors were good, but I will try the large selection of teas next time. The environment definitely lives up to the “bourgeois” name and would be a great place to get some work done. Limited seating spaces indoors, but they also have nice patio seating outside. A cool coffee spot for sipping coffee and tea with pinkys up ☕️
