Cafe Cappucino Inc

My friend told me about this place. When she lived in Chicago back in the 90s, it was her hangout. I've always driven by it and decided to finally stop in.

Even though we went there around noon, the place lacks ambiance. It doesn't make it up with the cappuccino. It was average, at best. The place was pretty dark inside. Half way through our visit, it smelled of cigarette smoke, like someone was smoking in a back room and it vented into the dining area. I don't see a reason to go back.

Horrible service! This used to be my hangout place for the past 8 years but not anymore. Something has simply gone wrong with this place in so many ways. Being overcharged for drinks that you didnt order sure is one of them. Tip of the day: dont go there with large as this is the perfect setup for them.

In general, I like going to the Eurostyle cafes in this area but, there's something different about this place.  I've never gotten service that was so unpersonable before.  The skinny dark-haired girl there never greeted or thanked me once nor asked if I needed a refill the whole 30 minutes I was there.  She spoke in a matter as if something traumatizing happened to her, just really odd.  The guy running the place was talking to a patron next to me the whole time and didn't ask if I needed a refill on my drink even though I was sitting with an empty cup for sometime.  

Then I started to notice a pattern that every guy, that walked in seemed to know the owner and some of them walked in the back room with him.  I was planning on eating lunch here but felt so put off here (felt like an F.B.I. agent in a social club) that  I left with an empty stomach.  Bill was $5 for 2 cappuccinos.  The extra star is for the nice interior.
