Cafe Libra

Cafe Libra My recent visit to Cafe Libra left much to be desired, despite the cafe's charming ambiance and a decent matcha latte. We arrived before the rush, hoping to order food, but unfortunately, we were never checked on after our drinks were served. We understood that they were clearly overwhelmed, so we patiently waited about 45 minutes after receiving our drinks, but no one ever returned to our table. Eventually, I went inside to close our tab for the two drinks. I also inquired if I could get my drin

stopped by for a coffee and a bite and did not disappoint. the owner was so sweet and accommodating to our dietary needs the bagel sandwhich was bomb. the coffee was good. the vibe was nice. they have an outdoor patio that is bound to be popular as soon as it gets nice outside. worth checking out

this place is cute and i didn?t try any food. but i was disappointed to see the coconut creme matcha latte was made with coffee mate. tasted artificial and gross to me. i could easily buy this at the store and make it myself if i knew that. maybe a splash would be fine for the flavor but it tasted like the whole thing was that coffee mate. perhaps i was naive to think a $7 latte will have homemade or more natural ingredients, but i wish there was more transparency with the ingredients used

"If you're looking for a unique brunch spot, I highly recommend this coffee shop. They offer distinctive Balkan-style food in a relaxed atmosphere. The owner is incredibly welcoming and friendly, always greeting customers with a smile. Plus, they have a fantastic patio, making it perfect for dog owners to bring their furry friends along."

In love with their veranda, I think perfect for sitting there on a good weather) Coffee was good and the chicken sandwich was huge and creamy, but fries were weird , not crunchy, felt like undercooked. In general I had great time there.

Cute spot, food was great ! Lacking service! Ordered cevapi with a side of fries and two lates along with some delicious Nutella crepes, food came out after 40 minutes maybe they were backed up, short staffed, Asked for an extra plate, the guy said right away and never showed up I had to get up and get it myself ,regardless finished our food while enjoying our drinks after almost an hr waiting for the fries when we were approached if we were doing good? I answered yes but kids are still waiting for their f

This place is so great! I?ve been inviting friends to hangout with me here because the vibe is on point. And the cuisine slaps. The bread is so fresh it steams when you break it. And who wouldn?t wanna chill under a million colorful umbrellas on the patio.

First heard about this Balkan cafe on TikTok and found it one day when I was walking around the area on an errand. Lovely patio! I was there on a weekday and really craving breakfast at 1, and sure enough they were still serving brunch. Sharing with friends that live nearby?I will definitely be back.

Great place with wonderful service! I had the iced cookie butter latte and it was exactly what I needed. The bagel and the donut were great as well. I stayed there for a while and the service was really friendly, the people working genuinely love what they do and their customers. Their atmosphere inside the store and outside is perfect. They have a lot of seating and the patio area is perfect for a large group to hangout in and they stay open pretty late for a cafe. They also have games for you and your fri

Went 2 weeks ago and loved the vibe of the cafe. The cashier was very nice and welcoming. The food was warm and delicious. Would recommend.

The cutest cafe! Love the ambiance and the brunch menu. The owner and her sister are the sweetest people. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic little cafe up on Foster that has so much to offer. Definitely a Turkish influence but they have regular pastry?s and coffee as well as sandwiches too. Played good upbeat music as well!

Loved this place, the patio especially. Food and service was great too.

A beautiful spot to enjoy time with friends and have delicious food. Genuinely the best Eastern European food in Chicago and the coffee is to die for! The staff is very kind and accommodating and everything is spotless. 10/10 Chicago spot!

Cafe Libra is a cozy, inviting caf? in Chicago's Ravenswood neighborhood, beloved for its unique drinks and welcoming atmosphere. Patrons rave about specialties like the cookie butter mocha and blueberry latte, as well as fresh donuts and bagels. The outdoor patio, furnished with comfy chairs, offers a perfect spot to relax or work. With friendly staff and a charming setting, it's a favorite local spot for coffee lovers and dessert enthusiasts alike.

So cute! Staff were super nice, and the cookie butter mocha and spinach pastry were delicious. The patio area is lovely with a big couch. I?m excited to come back for ice cream and gelato, there are SO many flavors. Update 1: Ice cream was delicious! Waffle cone was perfect. I liked the lemon cheesecake flavor best. Update 2: Oh man, their bagel sandwiches. I had the goat cheese turkey sandwich and added the spicy cherry peppers (which are very hot and so good), and my partner had the lox sandwich. Both w

Run don?t walk to Cafe Libra! Fantastic coffee & food with a friendly atmosphere - Baba?s eggs are a must try and the donuts are fresh and delicious.

Absolutely incredible experience! The food was delicious, the staff were genuinely welcoming, and the cozy atmosphere made us feel right at home. If you?re craving that charming European vibe, this spot is a must-visit!

Their coffee is great! Ive been here few times and it?s been very consistent. Food is delicious as well! Cevapi are highly recommended! They were super busy on a Saturday, which Im happy to see, but I think servers and kitchen really felt it

Caf? Libra has amazing food?everything I?ve tried has been super tasty and fresh. The patio is one of my favorite parts, really chill and perfect for hanging out, especially when the weather?s nice. The service is always great too?everyone?s friendly and makes you feel welcome. Definitely one of my go-to spots!

Met up here for coffee and found it really charming. The coffee is excellent and the food is delicious. Had the cevap dog and it was tasty. The house-made bread is delicious, though the sandwich has more bread than dog.

Cute store with plenty of seats and good espresso. Some reviewers said that this was a good place to work but it?s not. I asked if I could work for a little on the laptop and the employee said yes but only with an hour limit, despite being late in the day with many many open seats.

I been wanting to try this new place and it did not disappoint. I was greeted right as I walked through the door. I was undecided and I asked the young lady what she recommended she recommended the ice latte and muffin. I ordered an iced latte with a coffee crumble muffin and it was great! Can't wait to come back and actual sit in the establishment and try some more things along with their ice cream! 10/10 recommend

This is the best coffee shop I?ve ever been to. A great place for people who work from home when they want to change up scenery. Not only do they have great coffee, they have amazing gelato and ice cream too!! The employees are so nice and welcoming. Love coming here to enjoy an iced Carmel latte while I work!

super cute restaurant, but genuinely one of the worst service experiences i?ve ever had. the food took 45 minutes to come out and we didn?t even get all of our food and the staff was not communicative at all. i felt like we were trapped there as no one came to check on us and we had to keep walking up to the counter to ask where our food was and for the bill. we left without half of our appetizer because we got tired of waiting for someone to bring it out. would never go again and would not recommend

What a cute place!!! Great vibes and service. I tried the affogato which if you have a chance to try it's with it. It's any ice cream or gelato topped with a shot of espresso. We sat outside on the cute deck with sitting couches.

Yikes! Was so excited to come here after spotting on Instagram. Came on a Saturday & it was crowded. We waited in line & when we got to the front of the line were asked if we were dine in or to go. We said dine in & were told to take a seat. At the same time a couple girls came in from the patio & were told ?oh, I?m coming back!? That should have been a sign. We waited 20 minutes with nobody coming to check on us, take our orders, nothing, meanwhile the line is getting out the door. We left, disappointed &

Caf? Libra is a delightful find in Chicago?s Ravenswood neighborhood. Their unique offerings like the cookie butter mocha and blueberry latte are must-tries. The cozy ambiance, complemented by a charming outdoor patio, makes it perfect for both work and relaxation. Don?t miss their fresh donuts and gelato! Friendly staff and a welcoming vibe make this caf? a new favorite.

Their brunch food was DELICIOUS. Service was slow, but that didn?t even matter. The staff were lovely and the atmosphere was cozy. Will definitely be going again

We've been waiting for this place to open, and it didn't disappoint. Tried the Turkish Coffee and sat to drink it on the cute patio. Will be back to try the gelato and ice cream, especially because of their non-dairy options!

Really enjoyed my first visit to cafe libra! Great coffee and pastry selection and really friendly service! I can?t wait to come back when it?s warm to enjoy the patio!

Only came in here for a coffee but it was absolutely delicious and the service was great. Lovedddddd the coffee! I had an iced latte with toasted marshmallow syrup and oatmilk. I dont know what beans they used but I?ll be coming back again to try the food.

Only had the Turkish coffee but it was probably the best Turkish coffee i`ve had in alongggg time. Sooo good. Can`t wait to come back and try other things on the menu! loved the atmosphere and vibe in here as well.

Cutest vibes! I haven?t seen items on their menu at any other coffee shops or cafes! Friendliest staff and family owned! Loved the elderflower drink!

The lattes and food are 10/10!!! They have super unique ice cream and gelato flavors wish I could try everything. Super cute family owned place, they were so welcoming and sweet. Definitely recommend trying this place out!

Lively and gorgeous neighborhood spot. Had an affogato over pistachio gelato along with their leek & parmesan pastry. Very friendly service as well. Definitely will be back!

Big patio! Good coffee! Loved the Leak & Parm stuffed croissant! And the pumpkin spice ice cream! ????

Great breakfast with eggs, feta cheese, and ?evapi. Everything was fresh. The service was excellent. Highly recommend.

A great addition to the neighborhood, very friendly staff and great products! Would love to see a chai latte on the menu :)

Amazing breakfast spot, food was fresh and the customer service was amazing! Would definitely come here again and would recommend to everyone else!

Banana latte was good but overhyped and the service was too slow for my liking. Very cute spot though!

Came for a Mother?s Day lunch and everything was tasty! The meat platter was excellent, definitely give it a try.

Beautiful cafe with a great vibe and even better food. One of my favorite spots in Chicago would highly recommend to anyone!

The cafe is so beautiful! The food, drinks, atmosphere, and ambiance is 10/10. So amazing!

Our favorite place to hang out! Variety of delicious coffee drinks/matcha, food, sweets, with amazing service ???? smiles & good vibes ???? ??

Finally stopped at this cute local spot! Great coffee, great service, and great little snacks! Will definitely be coming back for the beautiful patio and great selections

I came in and was greeted right away, asking what I wanted. I?m a big espresso aficionado and inquired about how their espresso was. Immediately, they said it was very good. I ordered one and went to sit outside. I was brought my espresso accompanied with a tall glass of ice water with lemon? Wonderful touch. Espresso was awesome! Perfect temperature, and the perfect crema on top. I was so delighted the espresso was smooth and delectable? Not bitter like the other coffee shop down the street. I?m so excite

This is a wonderful place to enjoy dessert, coffee, ice cream, healthy salads, or special homemade meals like Mantije or ?evapi. Ivana, our server, greeted us with a warm smile. The atmosphere is cozy, and they offer fun games like Jenga to play while you are there.

love this place. great atmosphere and nice choices for drinks and snacks. their ice cream is also delicious. looks like the donuts are homemade so I'll have to give those a shot.

Tried this spot on the weekend. Great coffee, tried two different bagel sandwiches. The Libra and the Goat both are delicious. Tried two donuts both were fresh and amazing. Definitely a new spot for breakfast.

I had an amazing experience at this caf?! The space and atmosphere are absolutely beautiful, making you feel like you've been transported to a charming European caf?. The coffee is rich and flavorful, the gelato is creamy and delicious, and the food is simply incredible! The staff were super friendly! Highly recommend!

Super cute cafe with a cozy outdoor patio. And they have dairy free ice cream options!

Great service, food was unbelievable, and the atmosphere was excellent. Highly recommend!

Great to have a place like this in the Bowmanville neighborhood! Ice cream by The Brown Cow (handmade at their spot in Forest Park) is excellent!!! Very cool outside terasse under a pergola. Nice place inside and out.

Delicious Turkish coffee and amazing ice cream/gelato selection. It's really nice to have somewhere to actually sit and drink a coffee for here! Lovely patio area great for a coffee date or remote work!

Such a cute neighborhood spot! The caplease sandwich on sourdough was amazing. We love to sit on the beautiful patio with our dog. Definitely recommend!

Beautiful atmosphere with music and friendly service. Very friendly Balkan owners. Along with amazing food, especially the bagels, I couldn?t recommend a better cafe to spend your time.

One of the best places I?ve gone to in a while! We have made it our place to keep coming back when we can to get late night coffee and ice cream! Cafe Libra ?? is the best ??

We recently stopped in to try the gelato. First off, the person behind the counter didn?t know what an affogato is (not a huge deal - but really strange for a coffee shop that sells gelato). She let us try a few flavors and none of them were good, but we were there, so we just got a small gelato in a cup. I wish I would?ve taken a pic of this but I threw it out so fast. It was at most 1 spoonful of gelato stuck to the side of a regular-sized cup. COMICAL. But what was really crazy was that she charged us

Coffee is wonderful and the bagel sandwiches are really tasty. The space is beautiful and the owner & service is really great! Recommend checking this spot out.

We had Turkish coffee and pistachio gelato.

Great service and nice looking patio. Thanks for the free donuts!

Great place to get a coffee or pastry and get some work done: the guy behind the counter (think his name was Eron) was very very helpful and made the drinks with love. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area!

Amazing baklava I just purchased some and bought some cappuchinos also. Next time I will try the cevape. This is an authentic balkan restaurant!!

Been twice and both times were lovely experiences! Great crepes and delicious bagel sandwiches. Laidback and relaxing spot!

Delightful caf?, delightful staff, delicious food, amazing coffee.

Hidden gem. Good is amazing. Must visit. Amazing people and vibe

Nice place...good food...perfect place to relax,enjoy food and nice view.

Cafe Libra is exactly what a cafe should be. Friendly, comfortable, inviting, with coffee and tasty options to get you going (or keep you going)! Love the vibe and the folks here!

We have waited a while for this place to open! The coffee was great and the owners are extremely friendly and accommodating. Can?t wait to come back for some ice cream!

The fries here were amazing! I was looking for a cafe to work/study at and this place was perfect.

We just stopped by to get coffee and a shake, the place is really nice and the staff is really friendly! We are happy to have this place around the area! Can?t wait to go back!

Amazing service - especially Golkak - great guy

Great coffee great service. Definitely will be coming back for the Gelato/Ice Cream. Cute patio lots of space

This place is SO cute and our drinks were great. Nice gelato selection too! Friendly service.

Weird vibe in here. Got the leek and Parmesan croissant and the lox bagel which were both fine.

My 3.50 americano came out to 6.50 no reason given

Open late with great, friendly service. Coffee tastes good and the ambiance is good for remote work.

Amazing Cafe. Only issue is that the worker Eron is too attractive so it?s hard to focus.

Great coffee and ambience. Workers were so nice too. Can?t wait to come back!

I just got some ice cream from there. It was good, staff was helpful and nice. Prices are reasonable.

Pistachio gelato was amazing, the service was above & beyond. I?ll certainly have to come back in the morning for coffee as well!

Great space to meet up with friends for a coffee or ice cream! Very cute interior with amazing outdoor space

Came in and was greeted right away. Very friendly staff and amazing food and drinks.

The best americano hot coffee ever had , really good customer service

Cheap hot coffee made to be served cold and a stale croissant isn't my idea of a good place. Sorry
