Mati's Coffee Lounge - Chicago

Matis Cafe is an excellent spot overall, offering fantastic food, friendly staff, and a wonderful owner. I've visited a few times with family and friends, and we've all had a great experience. I highly recommend it!

The ambiance was pleasant, and the coffee was decent, but unfortunately, the food service left much to be desired. I went to dinner with my boyfriend on Friday night, eager to try out a new cafe lounge in the area. The waitress was friendly and attentive, but the overall service was disappointing. It's common practice for waitstaff to serve the appetizer first and then bring out both entrees together, right? Our appetizer came out, but just five minutes later, my entree was served while my boyfriend's was still being prepared. My grilled chicken was overly salty and overcooked. By the time I finished my meal, my boyfriend's entree arrived a full 20 minutes later! Our waitress didn’t offer any discount, complimentary coffee, or even a cookie to make up for the poor timing and service. We won't be returning, nor can we recommend this place to others.

This is a fantastic spot—very cozy and beautifully designed. The food is delicious and fresh, and the service is excellent. We will definitely be returning!

Great cafe excellent customer service from Ella she was amazing please come back for good coffees and good appetizers!!!!
