Fabcakes - Chicago

I love this place. I am always so impressed with the owner who seems to run everything on her own. I have worked in the area on and off for the past 8 years and I always return for great lattes and baked goods.

The owner is the single person running the shop so there may be a line but it’s well worth it! She was kind, inviting, and very knowledgeable about coffee and flavor profiles. As a barista, this is one of my favorite shops in the city. Shop Local!!

Been a regular at this spot for two years now and this place to pieces. Friendly service and best quality ingredients for everything I’ve tried

Fabiola is one of the most kind and generous people I have ever had the pleasure of getting to know. She literally never takes a day off and she is primarily a one woman show. She has some of the best pastries and coffee drinks I have ever had. And I have travelled the world. She is always there to greet you with a warm genuine smile and hello. Her service is quick and she has even run out to deliver a order quickly when I worked a couple doors down. Thank you Fabiola for everything you do. You have truly brightened some of my dark days with your kindness and yummy treats.

Fabcakes is the quaint locally owned, female owned eatery that reminds us of that one special cafe on a European trip. Lattes and specialty beverages made with hand crafted flavors not mass produced syrups at those other coffee chains; pastry and lite breakfast and lunch items prepared fresh. Baker/owner, Fabiola, has given River North a little gem. Gentle reminder that this is truly a small business and Fabiola and her modest team (sometimes just her) takes care in serving you be patient, be kind and be prepared to enjoy every bite and a few stolen moments in her cozy, lovely cafe: Fabcakes!
