Hi there!
We’ve recently opened Fancy Plants Cafe at 613 W. Briar Place in the East Lakeview neighborhood in Chicago.
Feel free to give us a call at (773) 857-1588.
Come in for some Dark Matter Coffee, and an assortment of delicious pastries, savory breakfast items, and grab ‘n’ go food.
Our selection changes almost daily, but you can almost always expect savory items like our Breakfast Sandwich, Wraps, Breakfast Burritos, Bagels with Cashew Cream Cheese and Carrot Lox, and an ever changing Seasonal Soup.


We always have some delectable sweets like Coffee Cake, Morning Glory Muffins, Scones, Cupcakes, Chocolate Chip Cookies as well!
On the weekends, our menu is even more extensive with fresh baked cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting, chocolate babka, and almost 2 dozen pastries and savory items.
We have an extensive coffee and tea menu. We brew fresh Dark Matter Coffee, and have a Rancilio 2 group espresso machine which we use to make all of our espresso drinks. Lattes, cappuccinos, macchiatos, cortados, mochas, espresso, or just a shot of fresh espresso, we have it.
We also brew several kinds of Rishi Tea, and sometimes the owner, Kevin, brings in some Puer Tea he imported from China (he’s a fan, ask if it’s available.)
We carry Rishi Chai, English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Puer Classic, Ruby Oolong, Sencha Superior, and Valerian Dream.
Here’s a good sample of our menu and pricing for any given time. Please do note that the Babka and Cinnamon Rolls are available on the weekends… as well as some other surprises!
