Cafecito

Food + DrinkLoop · Cuban Coffeehouse Community-sourced, unverified
📍 26 E Ida B Wells Dr, Chicago, IL 60605

Cafecito built a Loop lunch following on one sandwich: a Cubano that Time Out crowned the best in the entire city — roasted pork, ham, swiss, thick pickles and a properly gooey, mustard-forward press.

$

It's a Cuban coffeehouse in the fullest sense, with strong Cuban coffee alongside the sandwich menu, and it's stuck around long enough near the Art Institute and Grant Park to become a genuine Loop institution rather than a passing lunch spot.
