Review by Eleanore Reichel

September 10, 2024

Tempo Cafe is a cozy little spot just off the bustling Chicago streets! 🌞

I stopped by for brunch and found the "create your own" breakfast concept intriguing. The portions are gigantic - definitely perfect for sharing! I had a deliciously fluffy pancake that was definitely a highlight. My partner raved about the waffle, claiming it was the best she's ever had!

Service was friendly, and we appreciated the quick turnaround. While the coffee could use a bolder kick, the overall vibe is casual and welcoming. With outdoor seating available, it’s a great place to relax. We’ll be back to try more! ☕️🥞
