Bourgeois Pig Cafe

Love this adorable coffee shop. It's got a Victorian home vibe and the interior is decorated with Oriental rugs, bookshelves filled with books, couches, comfortable tables and vintage furniture. I haven't visited this cafe in years and everything looks the same. There are tons of coffee ☕️ and tea choices as well as pie 🥧 waffles 🧇 breakfast panini and granola etc. It's definitely a romantic vibe and a speakeasy is located here too. Just got an extremely decadent lemon 🍋 merengue pie 🥧 and hot chocolate. The staff here is extremely friendly and very welcoming. In my opinion this is THE BEST coffee ☕️ shop in Lincoln Park and very accessible the Fullerton train 🚆 stop.

A truly inspiring place, beyond their delicious food. If you enjoy laptop cafe remote work, this place will take your experience to another level. PROS: great food, delicious sandwiches and beverages. Staff is very professional and welcoming. Unique indoor vintage atmosphere and gorgeous/quiet garden seating available. CONS: It's hard to think of anything really. Parking is a bit complicated, which enhances the quietness and relaxing atmosphere.

There’s something magical about stepping into Bourgeois Pig Cafe—like stumbling into an old storybook where every corner is filled with charm and history. Tucked away in what was once a Lincoln Park apartment, this café has transformed into a cozy, vintage hideaway with warm lighting, mismatched furniture, and the kind of character that makes you want to settle in with a good book and stay for hours. It was packed when I arrived, buzzing with conversations and the comforting hum of an espresso machine, yet somehow it still felt intimate, like a well-kept secret. I ordered The Old Man & The Sea, and let me tell you, this was no ordinary tuna sandwich. It arrived stacked between two thick slices of house-made multigrain bread, its golden crust speckled with seeds, offering the perfect balance of softness and structure. The first bite was a revelation, the World Famous Tuna Dill Salad was creamy yet airy, with fresh dill adding a bright, herbaceous lift. The celery brought a subtle crunch, while a whisper of red onion gave just enough sharpness to keep things interesting. The ripe tomato slices added a juicy sweetness, and the crisp romaine lettuce gave a refreshing contrast, preventing the sandwich from feeling too heavy. But the real standout? That multigrain bread. Slightly nutty, with a gentle chew and a toasted edge that gave just the right amount of resistance, it elevated the sandwich from simple to spectacular. Every ingredient worked in harmony, making each bite more satisfying than the last. Bourgeois Pig Cafe isn’t just a place to grab a bite, it’s a place to experience food in a way that feels nostalgic and comforting, yet refined. I already know I’ll be coming back, not just for the food, but for that feeling of finding something special, hidden in plain sight.
