Be sure to check them out after work or visit their patio! ### peggy — 4.3/5 · Jul 26, 2025 I came to Beatrix in Chicago, IL for a drip coffee and americano, but it’s also a popular place for breakfast and brunch. Enjoy! ☕️ ### nicsnashvilleats — 5.0/5 · Aug 6, 2025 The food was solid with healthy options. Cozy vibes but still open air concept. Choose from more traditional breakfast entrees or healthy options like oats and organic fruit juices. They had both zero proof and regular cocktails. All the coffee and latte options as well as pastries. In addition to a red mimosa (strawberry) I also had a hibiscus kambocha to wash down my breakfast burrito. ### brianallee — 5.0/5 · Sep 5, 2025 Beatrix has become my go to place for light bites and caffeine fix. 🧁 Their array of baked goods is always fresh, and consistent. The lemon angel food muffin is my favorite! 🧋 While they have standard lattes and teas, I like how they’ve added refreshers to their menu like this berry basil zinger! #Chicago #Cafe #LattesandLightBites ### brianallee — 4.5/5 · Oct 27, 2023 Beatrix in #Chicago River North is a great #dinner spot, but also great for a quick #coffee or #tea. Try their signature lavender honey #latte - just sweet enough ### corrine_eats — 5.0/5 · Jun 16, 2024 It was such a treat getting to try out Beatrix for brunch! I’m so obsessed with their concept. I don’t eat red meat, so seeing that most of their menu was either vegetarian friendly or chicken/turkey based was such a nice surprise. I was sooo impressed by our meal! ### emilyyourfriendinchicago — 5.0/5 · Mar 22, 2026 Great place for a group dinner with friends! Excellent service, reasonable prices, and the menu truly has something for everyone. So glad the waitress recommended the brussels sprouts!
