   Great Aussie food experience. The Penfolds Bin 128 is a steal at that price!

   Awesome! Thanks for the 5-Stars! The service & the food should be matched with the vibe -- sometime, we like to dance! Cheers, Mate!

   Finally got to experience their breakfast. Delish avocado toast with smoked salmon and wonderful homemade granola. Coffee was ok. Wish I was able to experience dinner/drinks as stayed next door at Hilton for 2 nights but they did not notify me earlier to cancel my reservation. A little annoying as had to make different plans but lots of choices around the area.

   Great first time going! Great menu, service and beautiful space. Highly recommend if you're looking for an elevated lunch spot with friends, clients and coworkers.

   Excellent coffee and the food was great as well. Had the avocado toast and a flat white. My companion had the Greek yogurt and granola. All was good and service was fast and friendly.

   Being Australian you have certain expectations about a cafe called Chapel street, therefore we were excited to see a Melbourne style cafe in our city.Having to make reservations made it seem like it would be worth the visit. On arrival I did notice a small flag,framed poster and an assortment of my favorite mags.These were the only origin queues. Their menu did show a few signs of this, Avo toast and baked beans and our 1st coffees were very good. The service was poor and we had to call our server a few times for flatware and condiments.All the staff are American even the front desk. My scrambled eggs were coated in steak style brown sauce which was unexpected and not pleasant.My husband enjoyed a zucchini fritter special. We were offered cold sausage roll and donut segments to sample.Our second coffees were terrible and way too strong. The ambience of chapel street where in house roasting is a central pillar where missing, with the roaster hidden behind the semi open kitchen area. As this venue serves as a hotel breakfast lobby area the vibe was more Hilton than anything else…

   Hey Belinda, As the founder and lone Aussie behind Chapel Street I appreciate you coming in and also taking the time to write a review. We’re working hard every day to bring a genuinely Melbourne-style café to life here in Chicago, and being new I know we don't hit the high notes for everyone yet every time. Improvement every day is my goal and your feedback matters so I can focus on the things that make our place authentic. Thanks again for the visit, next time we'll give you the five star experience you deserve. Cheers, Shawn. Owner & Aussie-in-Residence

   Had a great time for Chapel’s first trivia night. Great to see a new local business creating community. Will be back!

   My friends and I came for the Monday night trivia at Chapel Street and had so much fun! The food was so good and our server was amazing! We also met the general manager who was warm and welcoming! The trivia was so much fun (despite us doing so bad) and we will absolutely be coming back!

    Our third visit, first experience. Computers were down first time. Second time pastries only and very kind amd generous. We missed breakfast today arriving at 12: 30. Pastries exceptional, sandwiches looked and tasted great, no open seats. Make a reservation.No Marinara which limited the menu. JUSTIN AND THE STAFF SUPERB. Working on tea, today, too. Otherwise great.
