Frida's Cafe - Hammond

Frida's Cafe is the kind of boutique chatout you would find in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago. It is worlds away from NW Indiana, and it is exciting to see it in the Hessville neighborhood of Hammond. The food and service is top notch. Worth a visit to all those who travel in the region, but it's great for locals who want a fress or a delicious treat. With free wifi and amazing decor I only wished that they were open all week. For the first time, visitors can go by (it is within the Art Gallery building); the remaining room is a little distant, but artistically finished. Hablan español and English dressed with the female staff traditionally. If you love Frida's art, you'll love this place.

This place is definitely a hidden gem. From the furnishings, to music, to food, feel immersed as soon as you enter the door. She went to her great gallery and waited for the food to come. Menu is Bistro style so mostly from Tortas. The food was delicious. We have tamales, quesadilla, rice beans and a horchata wrapper. Frappe was good, but began with a chalky taste as it melted, but food was excellent especially that homemade salsa. Also bought a bunch of marsapan, and other sweets before leaving.

I absolutely loved the atmosphere! It's filled with eclectic Hispanic art, and many items are available for purchase. There's a wide variety of Mexican candy, too. The drinks are fantastic! The menu sounded mouthwatering, but unfortunately, we didn't have time to eat.

This cafe is amazing! They have an excellent selection of coffee and delicious Mexican sandwiches. The artwork throughout the space is absolutely stunning. There's a wonderful variety of items for sale, perfect for enhancing your collection or giving as gifts. The soothing sounds of Lila Downs play in the background, creating a culturally enriching atmosphere.

Such a lovely, cultural place. The food was delicious, the environment was quaint, and the staff were friendly. My only concern is their hours of operation. I live nearby, and would love to make this my morning coffee stop, but they don't open until late morning.
