Beatrix’s gluten-free options do not disappoint. Shakshouka with feta and kale and a juicy burger on GF toast make ordering off the gluten-free menu feel like a special privilege, not a burden. Read more

Beatrix is the perfect place for brunch.The menu is affordable and diverse, featuring many vegan options. Protip: Get one of their breakfast cocktails to really get into weekend mood. Read more

Coffee connoisseurs who enjoy cold brews year-round are in luck, because the nitro, complete with its myriad tiny bubbles and creamy head, is now a permanent fixture of the Beatrix coffee program. Read more

It's all about the Chia Seed Pudding! Best I've ever had. Beatrix is also so adorable, warm, and cozy inside. Great for your morning coffee and gluten free muffin, lunch, dinner, and dessert!!

Nice salad. Fries had lemon which I liked a lot. Highlight is definitely the caramel pie - I recommend one piece for two to four people to share depending on your usual dessert portion.

Love the coffee bar - iced matcha, Mexican coffee and seasonal drinks are always good. Don't leave without a house-made pastry! The lemon angel food muffin is the best!

The cauliflower & apple soup, and the kale salad were delicious. I ordered an ahi tuna as my main dish and it was enough for a light meal. Their pastries are so good you might want to take some home.

Breakfast here is top notch. The lemon ricotta pancakes are out of this world! Coffee is excellent as well. For dinner I'd recommend the chicken Bebe but everything so far has been great.

The interior has gotten a makeover, adding more communal tables, seating, pastry displays (including a "chocolate closet"), hot and cold food bars for grab-and-go items, and coffee equipment. Read more

The menu is a bit bizarre, but it's fun to try new things. If you see the stuffed peppers being offered they are a MUST! A bit spicey though. And make sure you don't get the pasta with the poached egg

Cherry chia cooler was refreshingly delicious. I got cauliflower grits & eggs and loved it. Personally I like their brunch menu because they offer unique dishes.

Beatrix is dimly lit, energetic and hip; the concrete floors, wood beams and exposed mechanicals give the space an urban-loft vibe even though the construction is brand new. Read more

Try the chai latte with a kick (cayenne), caramel pie, any pastries, and for breakfast, the spicy chicken tinga. Tasty fresh juices. Service is great, and the decor is inviting and straight up cool.
Brian StortsMarch 10, 2019
There were 11 in our group. All entrees were excellent, including my sea bass. Great service and ambience. In hindsight I should have ordered an extra side to supplement the overall size of the meal.

I alternated between the braised pot roast/egg sandwich & fluffy lemon pancakes. Great sweet and savory combination. Washed it all down with the blueberry Tom Collins cocktail. All delicious 👍.
Jane KatzAugust 1, 2016
I am NOT a fan of quinoa, but their quinoa cakes with summer tomato sauce are delicious! Also, brown sugar bacon, bloody mary's and strong iced coffee. Favorite brunch in Chi!
Kristin LukowskiJune 7, 2015
Delicious brunch options, many gluten-free friendly. Attentive waiter kept my coffee mug full. Delicious baked goods to take home. Funky, airy decor. All in all, a great experience.

Pepper and egg white sandwich is fantastic and their coffee is really good. Such a great spot for a breakfast meeting.
Caroline McCarthyAugust 17, 2019
quinoa cakes are 👌🏼. entrees are on the smaller side - get two or three to share!
Elizabeth AmmermanMay 4, 2019
Love this place, but be careful of their Bulletproof coffee-they put too much MCTs, I’ve gotten it twice and received a severe stomach ache both times. Good gluten free pastries though!

Trendy spot at a reasonably price point. Good value for the food variety and quality. They have a pastry bar with gigantic cookies! Good for brunch, late lunch and dinner. Good cocktails.

The potato salad deviled eggs, blessedly devoid of anything resembling an overbearing truffle, take you back to the summer picnics of your childhood in a single bite. Read more

This is one of my favorite places to eat, period. Consistently great food. If the pork shank is available, get it. And always finish with the caramel pie.
Joe SimpkinsJune 22, 2013
awesome bar staff. super friendly - lots of helpful suggestions. Fresh local food and drinks. A must stop, especially if you stay at the aloft. try the blueberry tom collins!
Darlene OConnorAugust 17, 2013
Really different menu...but once you decide what you want...delicious! I had the lettuce wraps, but needless to say, that's not what they were called. Actually like the place very much!
Maryam MalikJanuary 6, 2015
Excellent menu choices. Sophisticated & delicious. I had light & fluffy lemon pancakes (true to their name) & their chilaqelees which were buffet style in Sunday brunch.
Ralph WallerFebruary 3, 2016

The blueberry and basil juice will bring joy to your heart and the Mushroom and Quinoa burger is basically heaven. Just out right awesome vegetarian options.
Ruth HillNovember 16, 2017
Make reservations unless U want to wait an hour to be seated. The pot roast is delicious. The banana joe coffee drink is over powered by the banana.

Branzino is topped with a golden-brown brioche crust that looks like a plank of wood but contributes crunch and buttery notes, and makes the sea bass taste a little like Dover sole. Read more

Food is delicious and reasonably priced! Smaller menu but great variety. Cool atmosphere and good service.

Really good breakfast and coffee here. If it’s too crowded try sitting at the bar. Staff is friendly, fast and everything is good.

Delightful quinoa cakes and freshly pressed juices. The bakery counter is really lovely also - lives up to expectations!

I had the green chilly enchiladas, amazing! Would totally go back! The waiter was also very nice and timely.

Pancakes can be ordered as a side, although it's not listed. They were incredible and highly recommended.
Andrew SandlerMarch 18, 2016
The beet and kale salad was excellent. And the fries were enormous. Great atmosphere, good prices. Have to come back to try the pie.
Jeffrey ZeldmanSeptember 2, 2015
The deviled eggs are heaven, the fries sublime.The salmon melts like butter. Fine coffee, too.
Rachel CJuly 30, 2017
Full gluten free menu! The triple chocolate cookie is the thing to get.

Brioche crusted baranzino was out of this world, pricey but really delicious. Also, don't forget to taste the caramel pie!
Monika McMahonSeptember 6, 2013
Get the Caesar salad. The plate is coated with a Greek yogurt Caesar dressing and the lettuce is coated in lemon vinaigrette that is delicious when mixed. Plus the capers are a great addition.
Roy LudwigJuly 11, 2013
Great breakfast and ambience. Worth a stop especially if you are staying at the Aloft hotel.
Kelsey AndersonSeptember 30, 2017
Great coffee (fun latte flavors) and pastries! Skirt steak and salmon were both fantastic and healthy for dinner!

Daily fish special is baked or grilled. A bit on the pricier side though healthier and well made

Freshly squeezed juice with a shot of alcohol is a must! Fries are amazing and deviled eggs are great apps!
