3rd Coast Cafe

I live about two blocks from Third Coast. The menu is pretty eclectic and I've ordered a lot of it over the years, from tacos to cajun chicken pasta to omelets and waffles. In the dozens of times I have been there I have never had food that was less than excellent. The service is also consistently outstanding. This place is a hidden gem.

A beautiful restaurant/cafe. We had breakfast which was delicious. Our waitress told us that the building used to be a fancy hotel with a French restaurant. Full of beautiful architecture and a provacative art display of musicians with the unfortunate claim to fame of being members of the 27 Club. They carry a wide selection of unique wines. I plan to return for dinner soon.

We ordered a Denver omelet and Diablo tacos since it was brunch time. Wow! Wife got 4 tacos with avocado salsa - delicious. My omelet was huge, and also delicious. Friends raved about it and now we know why.

Chicago is my favorite vacation spot, we always go to the Air and Water Show and we always eat at 3rd Coast several times per trip. Owner is a delight, servers are sweet, and the chef is incredible. I've never had a bad meal and I've don't think eaten the same meal twice. The staff suggestions have always been spot on. I've come with a nursing infant, alone, date night with my husband, brunch & dinners with friends, & toddler-in-tow. Very flexible environment with healthy and kid-friendly options as well as comfort food and treats (Key lime pie is the BEST!!). Priced incredibly for the neighborhood. Follow the Facebook page for daily specials. This past summer we rented a studio apartment above the cafe for our vacation and can't say enough about it. Lovely neighborhood park, quaint market and L train stop all within 2 blocks' radius. Can't wait to go back.

Came for breakfast with my girlfriend. We waited about 20 min but the food was well worth it. I got the pulled pork hash which was extremely good. Paired with great coffee and excellent service, I will definitely be returning.
