About Cafe Deko

Cafe Deko is a coffee shop at 715 S Dearborn St in Chicago, set in a historic space with a vintage, Old World-style interior. Dine-in coffee arrives in glassware, and decaf espresso beans are available for those who want them. The menu runs to 55 dishes, with salads such as the Burrata Tomato Salad and the Chicken Avocado Salad alongside sandwiches including the Halloumi & Egg Sandwich and a Pastrami Sandwich.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers return most for the interior, describing it as beautiful and gorgeous, with mirrors, themed decor, holiday decorations and an Old World, vintage feel. Coffee comes next, with a fresh drip coffee, a great latte and a creamy hot chocolate that one reviewer found a bit salty and wanted more chocolatey. Dine-in coffee arriving in glassware earns a mention, as do decaf espresso beans. Breakfast sandwiches come out fast, though one reviewer called theirs simple and nothing special. Staff are described as friendly, kind and helpful, including when a child spilled a smoothie. Cakes and pastries are also praised as high quality. Seating is the recurring trade-off: the space is small, weekends and midday get packed, and finding a table takes patience. One reviewer says there is no host and that the limited menu failed on a tuna melt they called bad. Several still managed to find a window seat or a high top, and one praised the fair pricing.

    “Beautiful cafe at a good location. I ordered coffee for dine in which arrived in glassware which added a nice touch. We visited around noon on a Saturday and although it was packed we were still able to find seating. Overall good coffee and pretty interior.”

    “Heard great things about this vintage-style café and finally decided to check it out(Dearborn location) Finding a spot on weekends can be a bit tricky, but with a little patience, you’ll manage to get a table. …”

    “We took the Red Line from Chinatown, and it was a short 2 min walk from the nearest stop to the cafe. We arrived close to 10:30am on a Friday, and was lucky enough to snag a table. There was mostly high tops and a couch that was still unoccupied. It was beautiful inside. I loved the whole vibe and layout of the cafe. I loved all the mirrors placed around the cafe. I ordered a vanilla matcha earl grey tea. The breakfast sandwich was simple, nothing too special. Fresh drip coffee was fresh and good. We stayed close to an hour. The cafe had plenty of foot traffic.”
  • Tia McCargish
    “Got a hot chocolate. It was good; it had a bit of salt to counter the sweetness it seemed. Could have been more chocolately to suit my tastes, but it was very creamy. I could see some people really loving it. I liked it but didn't love it. The interior is so gorgeous. I love the themeing. The staff are kind and prompt as well as helpful.”
  • Michael Damato
    “Amazing decor and ambiance along side high quality cakes, pastries, and some hot dishes. …”
