Julius Meinl Restaurant and Cafe

We often seem to enjoy a coffee/tea break here on the way back from downtown. Their coffee is one of the finest ever and the Lemon Ginger tea is also one of the best. It’s a great stopping place on the Southport/Addison corner; a short walk from Wrigley, and of course on the 152 Bus line.

Absolutely loved the whole experience. This charming Austrian cafe has an amazing array of delicious and healthy, yet tasty breakfast options. I ordered the Imperial Frühstück and was over the moon with everything about it. It was like being in Europe all over again. Will definitely be visiting more often now that I've happened upon this gem. Highly recommend!

I've loved this chain since my first acquaintance with Julius Meinl coffee almost 30 years ago in its native Vienna and it still remains a solid good choice for a quick bite and some lesser known in the US delights. Maybe not always stellar, but never disappointing. Love it!

Just like in Europe! Love the cookie that comes with your hot drink order. It's exactly how the cafe that I was familiar with in Switzerland serve their hot drinks. With a cookie! We had a black forest cake and a hot drink. The cake was tasty, very boozy which was perfect. Drink was too sweet so we asked for some milk to dilute the sweetness. The waitress was really pleasant and responded well during our interactions.

I saw someone ordered a brunch plate that was loaded with nicely cut fruits. Will come back to try the brunch!

This a nice, affordable, neighborhood coffee shop. The food is always good, very simple. The drinks are great, served on metal trays and come with a little cookie. It's a nice spot to meet a friend, read a book, grab a bite or just some tea (or coffee).
