### let.her.eat — 5.0/5 · May 15, 2025
I went in with a buying limit of two and only got three so I’d call that a win! the Shakshuka bun was by far a favorite even not warmed up it was so flavorful and bright and the dough was soft. The focaccia was absolutely decadent and definitely for a cheese lover. I’d probably pass on the pesto bun next time just because it was well-baked and crunchy, just not what I was expecting I wanted something more like the Shakshuka texture-wise

Overall I love and have to go back for an actual mea!

Cute cafe with good food, but $70 for 2 people without ordering any drinks is insane!

Great.late night spot for a gyro platter. Ordered extra pita.

While the food was phenomenal, the restaurant was very loud and the ambience was chaotic. Next time I will try and get a table toward the back where it’s quieter.

Such a cute event with Nuuly at Cafe Yaya! One of my favorite cafes in Lincoln park, the vibes were so cute and the coffee and pastries were delicious as always
