Julius Meinl Coffeehouse

Classy old Vienna style coffee house with home made pastries and torts.
To appreciate coffee in full you can not go wrong with Cafe Melange with silver plate and other items. Add to this great desserts like: Vienna Torte, Dobos Torte or Esterhazy and you can almost feel like being in Vienna.
For lighter taste try Apfel or Topfen, sweet cheese strudel. Wide tea and coffee selection, a welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff make it a great place to stop.

Wonderful coffee house! ANd the food is great too! My husband is from Europe, and so he is what I call a "coffee snob" and when we found this place, while living in Chicago, he was EXTREMELY happy! Definitely try it!

This is a very classy coffee shop! They serve great drinks and also a variety of deserts and meals! Very fun atmosphere! Great alternative to corporate Starbucks!

The coffee is delicious. The pastries are little works of art (and are pricey, but worth it if you are treating yourself). Fresh soups, salads, and sandwiches for lunch. Extensive tea menu with good explanations of the tea flavor, origins and health benefits. A beautiful, relaxing environment. Friendly service. Live music is featured during the week, check their website or call for details. Great lunch destination if you are shopping on Southport or live in the area and want to go somewhere nice with someone special. Child-friendly.
