Cafe 53 - Chicago

Had the avocado artichoke sandwich with the Dutch brot and it was delicious!

We tried a few places that were closed due to the holiday and stopped here. I was worried based on the reviews and the the menu did not knock my socks off, but I was pleasantly surprised. I would not go out of my way to eat here, but it had many vegan sandwiches, lots of teas and coffees, a great chip selection, and some vegan desserts. The food was good and filling. I had the meatball sub. My brother tried a dessert. We’d go back if needing a quick bite.

The falafels were old and mushy so was the pita bread. Fattoush salad had cheap ingredients. I would not be surprised if the vegan falafel sandwich had a sort of dairy ranch

I had a falafel and hummus sandwich but there were two rows of vegan options. Great place for me and my Omni family. Everyone left full and satisfied

This place has SO MANY vegan sandwiches (that are nut-free too). The workers are nice and the atmosphere is cool. I cannot recommend enough, especially the artichoke chicken sandwich. 10/10 incredible
