Review by Teresa O'Keefe

September 23, 2024

Cafe 53 is a gem in Hyde Park! The ambiance is cozy and trendy, perfect for a casual breakfast or lunch. I loved their Chai Latte - both hot and cold options are fantastic! ๐ŸŒŸ

I had the Bagel 53 with cream cheese and tomato, which was delightful. The Dutch Crunch sandwich with garlic chicken was another hit. Ended my meal with their Italian biscuit ice cream - yummy! ๐Ÿฆ

The staff are welcoming, and the service is impressively quick. Overall, a great spot for delicious food and a friendly atmosphere. Canโ€™t wait to return!
