Fountain Cafe

I had a great experience with this cafe and it's a bit of an oasis in the park where there is little else most days.  The culinary students that run the place are always respectful and cordial and the food is excellent.  This isn't gourmet food, even if the future chefs are capable.  This is a stand in a park so what you are going to get will be fast, mobile and quite satisfying.

Small cafe near buckingham fountain. Probably best for the beverages. Food wise, I would not plan on eating there. For one, they may be out of what you want, and two, they really don't have the turnover of food there. I had a turkey crepe, which the cook took a crepe out of a wrapper and placed it on a crepe pan to warm, then added some packaged turkey and swiss cheese. No toppings to help it go down. all for $6. I would expect a little more from a place ran by the one of the chicago culinary schools. the desserts are there for more than a day, so I would be careful about them, or at least be ready to ask for a refund. It never ceases to amaze me how chicago restaurants expect people to pay for and eat the crap they serve people!
