Wonderful cafe on the south side (near Hyde Park) area. I went there with one of my besties. She's vegan. I'm not vegan, but have opted to strive for a pescatarian diet. (I still eat meat on occasion, but I digress.) Said that yo day, there are a nice array of options for both/all diets. I enjoyed the grilled salmon (wheat) wrap, substituting the Caesar dressing with chipotle ranch (had to when I saw it as an option on another wrap, as chipotle is one of my favorite flavors) and substituted the parmesan cheese that obviously go with the Caesar theme with pepperjack cheese. BTW: they have a build your own option, so my request wasn't extraordinary.😊.. The wrap was delicious! So much so that I later raved so about it to my sister that she ran out to get (and enjoyed) the same (substitutions and all) at another location (#consistency) in/ near Evergreen Park/ Beverly! They also have tomato & spinach tortillas, among others, as options. I, also, enjoyed a Tropical Breeze (if I recall the name correctly) smoothie. It was very good, as well! (Simple, as to be expected, and clean bathroom!) I will be back!

They usually have good food and good portions, but today when I went I ordered 2 jerk salmon wraps and a smoothie. The smoothie was good but I did not opened the food until I got home and the wrap was so little with barely any meat so I called them and spoke with a nice lady named Veronica who told me to bring it back. When I got there it was big dark skinned guy that was making wraps and he said “what she say was wrong?” So I said there is barely any meat, so he says “all of them made like that” I asked him to just look at the wrap and see. He takes the wrap and unravels its like a big kid and says it’s the same. I asked for my money back and he says “yeah give her her money back” with an attitude! Sir how u gonna get mad because y’all shorting on the meat now! I informed the lady at the register he is very rude and he should not be working there. Anyway here’s my salmon wrap compared to the photos and videos others have posted. I took a bite and tasted nothing but lettuce lol I will never be back.

I was on the hunt for a light lunch and stumbled upon Ain’t She Sweet—so glad I did! You can tell it’s a local favorite because the door was constantly swinging with folks coming in and out, which is always a good sign. The cashier gave me a great recommendation, and it did not disappoint. The vibe is cozy and welcoming—perfect for grabbing a classic sandwich, wrap, soup, or smoothie. I didn’t get a shake this time, but I saw so many people walking out with one, I’ll definitely be back to try it. Highly recommend! And as always, it feels good supporting a Black-owned gem in the community.

I work at the Beverly center the next block over from the location on 99th and Western. We LOVE the food here from Ain't She Sweet as well as the convenience of it being within walking distance. The food is always fresh and never heavy, which is very important when you work in a busy clinic. The only reason we (as a group since this is input from multiple people) have removed one star is because it is very difficult, if not impossible, to call in an order after about 11:15. For example, this AM we attempted to to call in an order for multiple people at 11:19. After many attempts by multiple people over the course of an hour and 15 minutes we gave up on trying to place an order over the phone. As a busy department we try to order food from restaurants close by, but as such we don't have time to either leave the department multiple times to place an order or to wait for a large or even small order to be ready. There is no hold option on the phone, you just can't get through. This is not the first time we have had to miss eating from our beloved spot due to this issue. Hopefully this is able to be addressed in the future for the service of the customers who love them. But still, the food and desserts are awesome and...
