I've been meaning to write this review for a long time. I love October Cafe! Such a wonderful spot not too far from me. The staff is super friendly and they have a great selection of vegan and gluten free items across the seasons. As a vegan, I regularly get the Maple Forest Latte and matcha latte. The paletas, cinnamon rolls, pesto panini, and the Mediterranean sandwich are tasty. I also love the small, but thoughtful retail. They regularly change up their offerings. This place is truly excellent for grabbing a sip and a snack. 🎃

Their menu features creative plant-based dishes that are both satisfying and flavorful, with a great selection of gluten-free items as well. The friendly staff makes every visit feel like you are hanging out at a friend’s house. For those looking to try something new, their drink flights are a fun way to sample unique beverages, whether you’re in the mood for a coffee or non-coffee drinks. What really sets October Cafe apart is its commitment to giving back to the community and creating a safe space for everyone. Whether you’re enjoying a meal, sipping on a drink, or chatting with friends, it’s clear that this café is a gem in the northwest side of Chicago (6046 N Avondale Ave., Chicago, IL; across the Norwood Park Metra Station; open everyday from 6AM-6PM; check times during Holidays).
