Cafe Colao

Would recommend the Signature Berry Bliss crepe, it's not too sweet and well balanced with berries.If you like pancakes , get the banana coconut cream pie. The flavours of coconut is noticeable and complements the banana.Tip: the serving size is huge, I would recommend get two entrees to share for three people.

The avena de coco and the media noche are delicious. The cafe colao is always perfect.

First place that I visited in Chicago since it's near where I'm staying, I ended up getting some soup of the day which was chicken noodle soup, Malta, and a cafe colao. Everything was delicious, affordable, and the staff was friendly!

Good food and atmosphere. Good music.

Cute place. Nice ambiance. The pastries tasty but the tarte was a little too dense.

Very expensive the daughter was very grumpy with customers and asked for a bathroom after ordering $30 with of food and dismissed me. But the food is good. The daughter was counting the minutes in the customers face to close. The customers make your business no need to brush them off. Because she knew someone she brushed off the next person in the and even though they said kitchen was close a close friend was there and asked if she wanted anything from the kitchen. But the owener and grown staff are very nice

Great coffee and food and pastries, oh and great music.

Best steak sandwich I've had in a very long time!!!! Can't wait till the owner who is awesome btw puts out the soups of the dayWhich are coming soon!!! I will definitely come back!!! Truly authentic

One of the best Puerto Rican places ever. The steak and egg sandwich is remarkable. Family ran and operated for years. I really love the coffee there, but the cornbread is a must. You won’t find a place like it anywhere in the city.

Place was super quaint and had me feeling nostalgic. Awesome fresh baked bread and donuts.

The sandwiches and Puerto Rican treats are the best.

Excellent food and very friendly staff. Shorter hours because of the virus and cannot sit inside. Mainly sandwiches, cake and pastries and coffees. Worth checking out

This is a great place for a quick bite for breakfast or lunch. They sell pastries, sandwiches, oatmeal and soups . I recommend the steak and egg, ham/cheese with egg or the tripleta sandwich. Also the quesitos are very delicious.

Best sandwiches hands down. There are many puertorican restaurants/cafes on Division st. But I always find myself back here! The passion fruit water is a must try, very authentic to the island.

Excellent food and pastry also serves cafe

Great food old coffee but loved it!!

Best Puerto Rican coffee in Humboldt Park. Service is great and fast. Always a treat to come here

Great pastries!! Great sandwiches. Outdoor seating area is perfect for people watching on Paseo Boricua

Finely I found a place with the best PASTELES DE GUAYABA!!! This place is awesome. The people were so friendly. And the sandwich are so good! I can recommend this place so much for everybody.

The owner is very unprofessional and doesn’t care for the customers or her employees. As long as she gets money in her pocket, she does not care for whoever enters threw the door. Analyzing from inside and out, I’ve seen how the treatment of certain customers and returning ones get treated with disrespect and/or favoritism, and it is not the returning customer. Waiting close to an hour for a small coffee or a simple sandwich; the service is slowly diving down for this old and poor restaurant.

Not worth it ,Over priced and over rated better off going down the street to nellys cafe. I wouldn't have given it any star rating but it will not allow you to proceed with out doing so.

I always feel like I'm home there. The pastries and sandwiches are awesome! And customer service is always welcoming.

A friend took me here a nice cultural place with fresh in house bread that turns their sandwiches out

Can't beat the sandwich I grew up on. I love sandwiches and this place is a go to if craving a nice Turkey sandwich. Sometimes it does get packed but the wait is worth it. Coconut Oatmeal is to die for and the staff is always nice to see. Everyone comes here!

This place is pretty damn amazing it’s a small little cafe but the atmosphere here is real nice and service is top notch! Definitely recommend the place and the sandwiches are yummy! I ordered the Cubano

Avena de coco ESPECTACULAR! Service great and if you are from Puerto Rico it’s a great taste of home!

Coffee and Quesito. . .yum! A great place to have coffee with friends.

It was a pretty good experience great service and really nice people. I had ordered something to go and it didn't take long at all

Best Cuban sandwich in Chicago so far... Loved it

Great spot. Love the special and the coffee. The owner and staff are very humble and awesome. It's my official breakfast spot!!!

I can tell the food here is made with thought and love. Their coffee is smooth and tasty; had their mocha which was balanced as in not overpoweringly chocolate-y. Their hot breakfast sandwiches were amazing. Fresh baked bread and it certainly tasted like it. The ingredients down to the lettuce and mayo was very fresh. I will be bookmarking this place. I look forward to coming again and trying their other stuff.

Been coming here for years! Wanda and her son are like family to us. It is my favorite go to for Puerto Rican pastries and amazing coffee and sandwiches. Medianoche is the best! Wanda and her son are like family to us and we hope to continue coming for years to come

Coffee was fresh and tasted great. I was served very fast. They definitely have the best coffee in the area. The atmosphere was cozy. Looks like they bake there or maybe they only serve a few things. It all looked very good I will try some pastries next time.

I have been going to this place for many years now. My favorite thing to order is their steak sandwiches. Every thing on the menu is good especially their Avena (oatmeal). It has a small dining area, which can sometimes be full. Expect to take your food to go, unless it's summer time, in which case they have the outside dining area open. This place is very family friendly and the staff is always nice. Their baked goods are always fresh and always yummy.

They have the best pastries and sandwiches

Great customer service, delicious Cuban sandwich and my cafe Americano was on point.

Sandwiches and pastries are amazing. A taste of la isla de Puert Rico.

Food is good! But I wish They would pick up the phone for food ordering I understand the cafe gets busy at times but they should at least have one person answering calls for food orders!

Always yummy. Their sandwich bread is perfectly crunchy but soft.

Their quesitos are the best!!! No other place makes them like they do. Thank you Cafe Colao.

An authentic Puerto Rican mini cafe good customer service good food

The breakfast sandwiches are the best ,I also love how you can purchase a loaf of fresh French bread on the go as well.

The food is great and the workers are friendly and very polite

In had the steak sandwich with eggs and Ham and it was amazing

Good customer service, clean establishment, I'd give them 5 stars but our Tripleta sandwiches only had 2 meats(pork and ham) missing the steak. 😐

This place rocks. I've had every single sandwich on their menu. my go-to is either the tripleta or the chicken sandwich. The owners are great, awesome local place I will definitely be coming back. The passion fruit drink in the summer really quenches thirst, the soup in the winter is amazing..

Great experience! pastries & coffee very tasty.

Yummy coconut oatmeal and coffee!

Amazing place! Best coffee shop in the city! I don’t mind driving up here all year round! Very welcoming and cozy! Staff is always welcoming and friendly! Food is outstanding all the time! I recommend a lot of my close friends to stop by!

Love this place! I taste the cafe colao before I get there 😁
