I'd come back here but just for the breakfast croissant sandwiches. I bought the egg bacon and cheese one and it tasted good. I also got a regular coffee, which didn't have any flavor lol. Staff was nice though and the area looked clean as well.

The Swiss turkey on cranberry baguette here is absolutely delicious! The team will also toast it for you based on your preference. That bread was delicious!

I was just passing through Chicago O'Hare, which I try never to do, and stopped here on my way to the gate. The food is very fresh, and the artisan pizzas are hand made while you wait. I ordered a pepperoni pizza, a turkey and bacon sandwich (for later), and a large, iced, dark chocolate mocha. Everything was as advertised. I actually couldn't finish the pizza as I was pretty full. I mean, I could have forced the last 2 pieces down, but then I'd be uncomfortable, and I'm too old for that. The dark chocolate mocha was perfect as I don't like my coffee beverages to be too sweet. The selection of deli sandwiches is really good. If you're hungry, but don't want a burger, stop by and look at the sandwich selection. Seems like they have something for everyone. If I'm ever forced to fly through O'Hare again (which I'm sure will happen), I'm definitely coming back here. Highly recommend.

Omg, I stopped here on the way to my gate at tĥe Chicago O'Hara airport and I got a sausage and mushroom pizza that was made fresh on the spot and when I tell you that it tasted better than most pizzas I've ever had!!! I really mean that. Also, I had the most amazing peanut butter cookie. I actually went to find the website so that I could see if I could have.some shipped to me. This peanut butter cookie was the best I've ever had. It tasted like a freshly homemade cookie. Kudos to them.
