Spoke Bird Cafe (south Loop) - Chicago

The patio is quite nice, and I?m sure is a very nice place to sit under nice conditions. When we arrived they were fighting against the rain elements, so the ordering process was inside and some pickup inside and some outside which created confusion. The classic breakfast with bacon was good but the breakfast as a whole party came out quite separate (15min apart from 1 drinkto the next drink breakfast). Last opportunity is when a different groups order came out the young lady dropped one of theboxes and it rolled away. Picked up by a patron is was stacked back in the food pile and given to the customer. Probablyshould have been a new rush on that. May have just been the day but certainly some opportunities for improvement.

Decent cafe in the park. Expect to order and wait outside. Their restrooms are around the corner in the other main building, and definitely aren't enough for the amount of seating they have. We came in the afternoon when there weren't many people and we'restill waiting in line. I also thought the outside table setup was a bit unfortunate when they had a normal inside cafe. I'mguessing that that was COVID reasoning, but when everywhere else allows people inside it felt a bit out of place. I wasn't ahuge fan of their mimosa, but their marg was good.

Beautiful cafe with good ambience, friendly staff and good coffee. I wish customers would receive real mugs for dine-in. All drinks are served in single-use plastic cups. The amounts of unnecessary waste produced hurts to see.
