Café Saint Pio

Coffee, food, & friends Cafe Saint Pio has it going on! Yesterday Louise and I stopped by for breakfast and had a lovely time at this bustling neighborhood spot. The coffee shop is in a restored corner location in the Czech Village, and oozes retro charm. From the corner entrance to the high ceilings to the antique service counter, every detail speaks of nostalgia and a love of the neighborhood gathering place. Our breakfast was excellent! The burrito was delicious, exactly what one is looking for! I won't lie, it was gone in moments The blueberry muffin was well above average, in fact it was so good that Louise went straight back to the counter to order another to take home! Quiche can be a gamble, I love to make it and eat it, but quite often it is dry or too dense when ordering out. This quiche was perfect! Super flavorful, with all of the various types and preparations of veggies being cooked just so, and the egg body was evidently made by a black belt master of the brunch arts. I would highly recommend the quiche to everyone, and if one likes quiche it is a must!! Louise asked that I make special mention of the coffee, she is a coffee aficionado and has exceptionally high standards for our favorite morning brew. Their coffee is ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ excellence on the Louise scale, and that is high praise indeed. The last part of our experience I'll write of is the most important to me, the people. This place is bursting with a positive, high-energy vibe that starts my day off right. Bordering on being almost too loud at times, the friendly chatter nonetheless was quite welcome. I ran into one of my favorite peeps from Goldfinch Cyclery, Lillian, who not only brightened my day, but reminded me of just how much I love my tribe And speaking of beloved tribe members, I just missed two of my faves, Kat Richter, Realtor, Keller Williams Legacy Group and Alicia Bogard, Licensed Massage Therapist This is rapidly becoming one of my fave spots, hope to see you there soon!

Cafe St Pio is the kind of neighborhood cafe you wish every city had. I ordered the avocado toast and the biscuits and gravy. I always love the biscuits and gravy, rich and comforting as ever, but the avocado toast really stood out this time. Fresh, balanced, and thoughtfully done. My wife had the breakfast burrito and loved it. Big, flavorful, and satisfying without feeling heavy. The vibe is effortlessly cool and reminds us of local spots in the trendy Chicago neighborhoods where we used to live in like Wicker Park or Logan Square. Relaxed, welcoming, and easy to settle into.

Finally had the chance to try Cafe St Pio this morning. I had avocado toast with egg and made to order, and an oat milk, brown sugar, white mocha latte. Both were extremely delicious and not overly expensive, especially for the portion. The atmosphere is super cute and there was plenty of seating for everyone. Can’t wait to go back!

Great atmosphere to enjoy some breakfast brunch or lunch. Also if you are wanting a quick pastry and to go drink for breakfast this seems like a great option. My iced latte was decent and the avocado toast was alright. The avocado toast was plain and simple which I prefer some more seasoning like at home we add garlic or tajin seasoning on our sourdough bread with avocados. I would go again and I would go for something different for drinks and food. My friend’s pancakes and eggs looked yummy. The service was good!

Loved this place! Breakfast food was all great, loved the pickled onions that came with the avocado toast and the pancakes were great--they were warm and had just a bit of crispiness on the top, so you know they were made fresh. I got a cappuccino and it was delicious plus had cute latte art. The vibes were really good and the baristas were friendly. Loved the decor, and there is one bathroom that is absolutely hilarious. Highly recommend!

This is me and my husband’s favorite breakfast spot! It’s a great cozy place to enjoy. Their chai lattes are my favorite, they never disappoint! We’ve had a few different breakfast items and they’ve all been delicious and very nicely presented, but our favorite is definitely the avocado toast. The staff are friendly, and the pastries are freshly made in house and they hit the spot every time. If you want somewhere cozy and local to enjoy breakfast, this is your place! Highly recommend!

This is the neighborhood where my wife grew up, so I’m very glad to visit and find a nice place to sip a coffee and eat some food with the family. The staff was very nice and everything came out quickly even though they were fully seated. The flavors of that particular espresso are not my favorite profile, but it was enjoyable. This is a wonderful addition to Czech Village.

We really enjoy this place! Such a lovely atmosphere, wonderful service, and excellent food. We were just there today, and I had one of the best omelettes I've ever had! It was light, flavorful, fluffy, and had just the right amount of fillings. I also enjoyed a blueberry muffin, which was light and addictive. My wife had the avocado toast, which is amazing too. The coffee is also superb here, with so many excellent choices. Highly recommended!
