A long-running Pilsen café that wins on all-day breakfast energy: strong coffee, steady sandwiches, and Mexican-leaning comfort that locals treat as a daily anchor.

Must-Try Dishes:
Mollete, Mexican hot chocolate, Focaccia sandwich
What makes it special: A Pilsen institution where coffee-and-mollete breakfast stays reliably satisfying.

A Central American–rooted coffee shop where the bagel order gets a real local twist. The move is a bagel with cream cheese and curtido—bright, crunchy, and savory—paired with one of their house-driven coffee drinks.
Must-Try Dishes:
Bagel with cream cheese + curtido, Café de olla, Guatemalan conchas (weekend availability varies)
What makes it special: Bagels get a curtido add-on that tastes unmistakably Pilsen.
Worthy Picks
#3
Café Consume
7.8
A McKinley Park coffee counter that doubles as a local hangout, with breakfast sandwiches that happen to land well on an everything bagel. Treat it like a focused grab-and-go stop: one bagel sandwich, one iced drink, done.
Must-Try Dishes:
Bacon, egg & cheese on an everything bagel, Sausage, egg & cheese on an everything bagel, Iced latte
What makes it special: Breakfast bagel sandwiches that feel built for regulars.
7.8
A café-market hybrid where the surprise is that the Smash Burger belongs in the conversation, not just the coffee and baked goods. It’s a daytime play—order, grab a seat, and treat the burger as lunch fuel rather than a late-night craving.
Must-Try Dishes:
Smash Burger, Breakfast Sandwich, Seasonal Pastries
What makes it special: A coffee-and-market spot where the lunch smash burger actually hits.
7.6
A pastel-bright Pilsen café where bagels are treated like breakfast sandwiches—hearty builds and sweet drinks over classic deli minimalism. It’s strongest when you pick one signature bagel sandwich and skip over-ordering extras.
Must-Try Dishes:
Mexi Bagel, Meat Lovers Bagel, Cream Cheese Bagel
What makes it special: Bagel sandwiches with a playful, Latin-leaning café vibe.
