    We loved Beatrix. The shakshuka was delicious! My only minor complaint was that our drinks took quite a long time to arrive, we didn’t receive them until after we got our meals. Once it did arrive though, the London Fog and the chai were delicious :) Our waitress was awesome, I wish I had caught her name to mention her here!

    Had breakfast here our last day in Chicago Food and service were excellent! The light and fluffy lemon pancakes are a must! And check out the baked goods for sale by the coffee bar. Great assortment including vegan and gluten free options

    Service was just OK - not the gold standard it has been in the past. Our server never mentioned specials, never checked on our food, didn’t refill our drinks, didn’t ask if we wanted coffee…. I had to ask for the bill and she just said - scan the QR CODE. It was mildly annoying bc we waited for her to bring us the check. I also need a copy of my receipt for expenses - so she needed to run my card.

    Overall, our experience was not great. Our drinks didn't come till after we finished our meals, which is odd. The waitress was rude and didn't seem to attend to us. She knew we were upset at the situation. Also, the "manager" went to get a status report but never came back to report anything to us. We had to request updates every 10 minutes. Please hire more baristas so everyone can have a better experience.

    Beatrix is an absolute gem for breakfast! The lemon pancakes were a standout—perfectly fluffy with a bright, citrusy zing that made each bite memorable. The ambiance is just as delightful: warm, modern, and effortlessly cozy, with natural light pouring in and a laid-back vibe that makes it easy to linger. Highly recommend!

    We got take out coffees the day before and staff were excellent so thought we’d enjoy breakfast there. Food was outstanding unfortunately our server looked like she’d rather be anywhere but at work. She made several omissions that we needed correcting none of which were done quickly - she didn’t bother bringing our drinks until our food came out - which meant our coffees were cold - not that she came to check if we needed anything so we struggled to get refills. Shame as the food was really really good and the other staff seemed really nice
