Caribella

This is our third time here - in almost as many months! The food is fabulous. I love the Isla and my rather particular husband is always extremely happy with his omelet. The specialty coquito coffee drink is so worth having. We also have really enjoyed the coquito French toast. It can get busy on the weekend so there can be a wait but so worth it. I did just learn that they are BYOB.

Mom POV: they have been very welcoming of our baby, even with the stroller (we often walk over while visiting the area). We are not in the high chair stage yet but they do have them. I have not seen a changing table. Luckily I have not needed it while there as of yet. I could make it work in one of the benches by the bathroom if I really needed to. It has worked out ok for us with our little guy.

SUCH A CUTE BRUNCH PLACE!! went to catch up with a friend and was pretty busy on a Sunday morning but not busy enough for a wait at 11am. Tried both the Guava French Toast and the Caribella Skillet which both had lots of flavor! Portions were decently large but the highlight was the coquito latte!! amazing flavor and such cute presentation in the mugs :) Would come back for the latte and stay for the food.

The service was decent and did not feel rushed while eating but food did take a bit of time to arrive even taking into account their busyness. Parking available on side streets for free!

This was my first time here and was pleasantly surprised when I arrived around 10:30 and did not have to wait to be seated on a Saturday morning. However, it did fill right up after being seated. Everything on the menu looked amazing and I'll definitely be back to try everything else. The guava nectar was too good! The caribella skilled was good, but could've used some hot sauce of some sort- I did like how they used plantains instead of potatoes. The protein lovers skillet was packed full of several proteins and veggies! The pancakes were okay in my opinion, fluffy but not very flavorful. The wait for food was not too long, but a bit longer due to the space being full of customers. The prices are very affordable too!

I would definitely recommend this spot and will be back!

My friends and I went here because one of us lives by here and I'd been eyeing this place for a while. I am so glad we got here for brunch - we got there around 12:30pm on a weekend and was happy to be immediately seated despite being a group of 5. We went at a great time too because by the time we left every table was taken and a few folks were waiting. I definitely love to see this neighborhood spot thriving and the place is cute - natural light and beach paintings.

Food - I got the sorullitos and coquito french toast. Everybody Loved the sorullitos including myself and they are personally some of the best I've had in the city but I've only had them a handful of times. Even my friends who don't like corn dough and corn batter (think corn dogs for example) really enjoyed eating this, including a picky vegetarian. I would absolutely go back here and order the sorullitos again. The coquito french toast was also yummy - sweet but not overwhelmingly so.

We got a kids order of guava pancakes to share and that was the perfect amount. I'm not sure if I'd go with sweet mains next time. My friends got the Caribbean chicken skillet, breakfast burger, and the Caribella skillet. They liked what they got and I also thought the Caribbean chicken skillet was yummy.

I'll preface this by saying we got delivery so it was warm but not fresh on the table.

Honestly I was a little underwhelmed by Caribella. Given the menu I was super excited to try it. I went with the Caribella skillet and kids size guava pancakes (which was actually three decent sized pancakes!). My husband got the chorizo skillet.

He really enjoyed the chorizo meat but the rest of his skillet he said was underwhelming. My skillet was a bust... the plaintains were dry and not cooked properly. I have never had plaintains like that from a South American restaurant... ever. Very unappetizing. The chicken sausage was the consistency of a hot dog, it was strange. Def wouldn't get that again. The guava pancakes were decent, I liked the guava sauce, wish they gave me more of it bc it was a tiny container but I would order them again.

Wonderful and quick service.
I went there on a Thursday morning, and was seated immediately to my pleasant surprise! Ordered a custom omelette and my only regret is getting American cheese instead of mozzarella. The buttermilk pancakes that came on the side, were so cute and fluffy I was full off a couple of bites.

So happy I randomly selected this place! I got the breakfast avocado club. So yummy, full of flavor, and fresh ingredients. The other patrons in the restaurant had clean plates, too. The service was great, super quick and friendly. This is a great place to go for a quick bite to eat, catch up with a friend, or a "treat yourself" date!!

Yet another city brunch post to share!

Caribella is delicious spot for some brunch bites in Logan Square. Their menu has all of the classics but also branches out with some unique flavors including their signature guava pancakes.

We thoroughly enjoyed every bite of the dishes we sampled. The restaurant is a bit small inside but offers both indoor and outdoor seating.

Would happily stop by Caribella again on my next visit to Chicago.

This place has THE BEST steak breakfast sandwich in Chicago. I dream of this steak sandwich, it's just that good. It has scrambled eggs, steak, onion, mixed greens, tomato, chipotle mayo & choice of cheese. They even offer habanero ghost pepper cheese if you can handle it. You can either do ciabatta bread or a tomato basil wrap. I'm very picky when it comes to steak and they always nail it, the steak is very flavorful, juicy and tender! The cheese is perfectly melted and the creaminess of the chipotle mayo and fresh veggies just make this sandwich phenomenal! I haven't tried any of the other items from here because it's hard to get something else when you find something you absolutely love.

Service is decent and can be a bit slow at times, it is usually very busy though during breakfast/lunch on the weekends. You may have to ask them to refill your water a few times but the staff is very friendly. The place is clean and bright with some Caribbean vibes to it.

Our waitress - I wish I had gotten her name - was so incredibly helpful and patient with having our large group to serve. And my breakfast was the best breakfast I've had in a long time.
