Gallery Cafe — Restaurant in West Chicago Township

Gallery Cafe has lovely ambiance, a fantastic space, great staff, amazing food and world-class coffee. Abled people are strongly encouraged to eat here!

For the disabled: the counter is too high for wheelchair users to reach and the café is up an external step. After the external step the interior is all accessible, with no less than seven (!!) tables that are at wheelchair height, an unusual quantity for a restaurant, especially a small café. Were there an available ramp, it would be a great place for wheelchair users to eat.

The menu is all written on the walls and there is no large print paper version available; the tea menu is in size 8-10 font on paper without high contrast and virtually illegible.

They sell pastries from the day before for $1, a good price for poorer patrons who need to get inside.

Were Gallery Cafe more friendly to disabled customers, it would be one of the best...

Note: This is an honest review from someone with no real bias or attachment to this establishment.

This coffee shop is close to a bus stop I use everyday so I frequently go here. This coffee shop is by no means a "bad" coffee shop but it's not necessarily good either.

The coffee is pretty good and the food is ok. I ordered the Riveria sandwich and really enjoyed it. Some of the breakfast sandwiches weren't nearly as tasty. It's just really your standard coffee shop. As far as food goes I prefer to get bagels down the street at Brobagel. If I have time I usually go to wormhole instead for coffee(a short walk away on Milwaukee ave).

Probably the best thing about this cafe is that it is very quiet. I would suggest a visit here if you are trying to escape the hectic city for a little bit. Seating is limited though.

All in all. It's a not a bad place to stop for a cup of coffee if you're...

I used to be a full time resident here in wicker Park neighborhood but now that I'm currently living in the suburbs I come here at least twice or three times a month just to relax after doing errands. In the past six months I even managed to fall in love with two unique pieces of art that were part of this gallery's installation. If you want to come here for a special event you can actually purchase art lessons here and the gallery curator will provide you art materials so you can create your own unique masterpiece if you wish 💓 the coffee is always creative and this week's theme of course is Valentine's latte with amerreto. There are doughnuts, really great sandwiches made here on the premises and a super efficient, fun loving staff. I especially commend Joey for always being so genuinely caring and knd hearted! Thanks for being a welcoming Hangout in...
