Well let me tell you!!! I’ve had my eye on this place my last couple of trips to Chicago and I could punch my own self in the face after eating here today!!! I got the chorizo, egg, and cheese sandwich with potatoes, peppermint brownie, chorizo quiche, and broccoli quiche. No I did not eat it all at one time but if I could have, I would have! Everything was DELICIOUS. My background, I’m an actor/specialty cook and I can cook and bake my ass off! I will make my way back to this little cafe and drive circles for parking every time I come to Chicago! I might go back tomorrow and it’s not close at all to me. YUMMY!

I’ve been a fan of Diane’s flax bread for years! Now she has a cafe, some homemade GF and vegan foods like pizza, quiche and lasagna in the freezer for take and bake. You can also get food to eat in the cafe. Extra options on weekends. Very yummy muffins and other goodies! Special order cakes are available for special occasions. (I only wish she had more savory stuff, I’m not a huge dessert person.) MB also features local products for sale, jams and candles, for example. Worth a visit! You can also catch MB at local farmer’s markets and pop-ups.

Was looking forward to eating here after reading all of the reviews, I was so disappointed. The food was very soggy and did not taste good at all. The only plus is I didn’t get sick.

I recently discovered that I can't eat gluten anymore, so I was excited to find this cafe! It's a really cute cafe, they have a lot of great options, and the food tastes great! I will definitely be coming back regularly.

Although everything is technically gluten free, they use oats/oat milk in almost every single item. The waitress told me it was the Costco brand oat milk which I don’t think even claims to be gluten free. I ordered a meal that was supposedly modified to have no oat milk but I got a stomach ache anyway (no other major symptoms though), so I wish I had tested it with my NIMA. I’m very sensitive so most people would probably feel fine eating here but just a warning for others like me. I actually bought some of their blueberry cornbread muffins from a grocery store as well because oat milk wasn’t on the ingredient list. They tested gluten free with my NIMA but gave me a very slight stomach ache, so it could be another ingredient that doesn’t agree with me or a reaction to less than 20ppm.

Just picked up some brunch to go and WOW. Completely gluten free and vegan without sacrificing flavor or texture. The chorizo breakfast sandwich was unreal. Service was polite and prompt.

Dedicated GF and dairy free bakery with an amazing variety of baked goods. Highly recommend the quiche (they managed to make a GF flaky pastry!), muffins (I had ube and raspberry green tea), and Oreo silk pie (couldn’t believe it was dairy free). They also do custom order cakes in a greater variety of flavors than I’ve seen anywhere else. Really can’t recommend this place enough

Recognized this place from seeing the name on this app. Walked inside and it’s a cute lil storefront with a dessert display, frozen/refrigerated foods to reheat later, and a kitchen/cafe for hot food and coffee. Not only is this place 100% gluten free, but it is also vegan. I ordered the grilled cheese with roasted potatoes. There are lil stools to eat and people watch or you can get stuff to go. The grilled cheese was really good and I would definitely come back soon to try out some of the desserts.
