Todd WoernerMay 20, 2016Great place for a vegan meal! Of course they have non vegan meals and everything is organic! Great little grocery shop also that offers healthy foods and a great smoothie bar!
Ricky BurtonAugust 9, 2014This place is amazing. I love that they use local veggies for their meals. Big beefy tomatoes for their sandwiches.
RoadretroDecember 27, 2011One of the best in town, certainly a diamond in the rough of Rogers Park. Granola-berkeley atmosphere, their small store has hemp bags, incense and travel guides... on Sundays NPR hosts a show here.
Their hot coco drink is great and hits the spot during the winter time. It's a great way to warm up.
Jake SmithMarch 15, 2013Fear not, Spice Phobics: the Spicy Chicken sandwich is not TOO spicy, and it is accompanied well by a basil garlic mayo. Try it with Sweet Potato Fries.
VictoriaJune 18, 2014Had the amazing Buffalo Burger with vegan cheese & mushroom! Soooo good! Outside seating is nice. Just make sure to prepare for bugs!
Robin SJune 30, 2014The seitan burger was amazing! Many vegan options on the menu and breakfast served all day!
Breakfast all day and oh lord the fritters are good. Try the hot apple turnovers!
Jamila HusseinJuly 18, 2013The breakfast potatoes are yummy. Huevos Rancheros come with surprise rice. The music is good half of the time.
Miguel RodríguezNovember 26, 2014Friendly staff and delicious food makes this place my go to place for breakfast.
Lanre-Gail EgbeyemiJune 10, 2012The corn bread and honey is divine! Get food that is cooked, rather than salads, as I had a friend get sick off of their salads. It's slow service, but many good entrees.
Other half of the entry. Restaurant area is larger. Separate bar area. If TVs are on, they'll show sports. Progressive political vibe. Discerning beer selection. Below-average pricing. ☞ Free wi-fi.
DeannaFebruary 21, 2011Had a really delicious vegan burger and fries. Really nice staff and food came very quick. Would totally recommend to other vegetarians or vegans.
ErinMarch 15, 2015Some decent vegan options. Great bloody marys, beer, fun, cozy. Sometimes loud & slow service.
Macs VinsonOctober 19, 2014Barnyard sandwich is to die for and the aioli is excellent with other dishes.
If you are a fan of revolutionary thought, challenging the status quo, or just food with a social conscience, then this is your Mecca. I swoon over the breakfast burrito, but everything is divine. Read more
It's an Chicago institution. Some of the best food and people can be found here :)
The best thing about this place is the buffalo bar. Food is hit and miss. I'm glad it's a block from the house !
AnneJuly 28, 2010Go to Heartland Cafe and order coffee--it's incredible. Also order their breakfast potatoes and whole wheat toast with their homemade raspberry jam. Heavenly.
Jeff EarlyNovember 24, 2015FreekyDeeky decent food. Go on the days when the glenwood farmers market is action.
This place is amazing and affordable. Had the turkey ham breakfast sandwich- Join like-minded folks with a penchant for cold weather running for one of two (or both!) Athletes United for Peace 5K fun runs by the lake. Meet @ the Heartland Cafe & stay for the breakfast buffet! Read more
Lina GonzoAugust 5, 2012Delicious food for a reasonable price. They are very sensitive to extreme allergies.- Lanre-Gail EgbeyemiSeptember 15, 2012The corn bread is worth coming for, alone. Get it with the Mexican omelette.
Service is typically spotty, but nothing too complaint worthy. Food is always delicious. Leftover corn bread makes great toasted croutons.
William FrenchJune 30, 2010The biscuits and gravy were amazing!!!! I like mine uber soggy, so ask for some extra gravy ;-) our server was really sweet too!
- Kim ZimmerMarch 7, 2010Starting out the morning with a tofu veggie scramble and a green goodness shake is sure to set your day off on the right path. Read more
Meg AtkinsMarch 9, 2011Heartland breakfast sandwhich is to die for. Wash it down with Organic Pomegranate cider! A+
@steveGOgreenFebruary 18, 2012Try the Buffalo And Eggs - Chewy, flavorful, spicy, Delish #Foodiechats
Good people, excellent food, like no other place on earth.
Nachos are good. Breakfast burrito is the morning standout. Great chocolate ice cream.
