Great Cafe with a Mediterranean flare, unique coffee drinks and a good selection of special pastries and small plates.
Especially the pastries, I've not found anything like them at any other Cafe.
A fair number of items do contain nuts, but there's enough options if you're allergic.
I wish they had Turkish coffee on the menu, they sell the stuff to make it at home.

Oromo Cafe Bucktown catered food for a friend's baby shower of ~12 people and I am so grateful to Leyla and her team for making it happen! The food was delicious, which included: two different types of bagel sandwiches, spinach & feta triangle bites, and beet hummus! Leyla offered three menu options within my budget to start, noting we then worked together to come up with a final menu perfect for the shower. For those of you who think Oromo Cafe is only a cute coffee shop....think again! Give their catering a try! Thank you!!
The bagel sandwich was delicious!
The hot chocolate is worthless. The other Oromo had pretty good HC, but this one no good for some reason.
Chairs uncomfortable.
Food ready for 5-10 minutes and just sitting in the counter. Maybe it's my fault for not hearing, but I feel they could've said the name again or just brought it to the table.

We stopped by again to get a good drink, and I tried the Mexican mocha besides other items. The cashier was ok. He didn't seem like he was having a great day since we asked if one of the drinks had caffeine, and his answer was it has mushrooms instead of answering the question, we knew it had mushroom we didn't know if there was any caffeine added, but anyway. The drinks and food were good.
The space is nice. Unfortunately, some people that come alone sit at tables for 2 or 4 instead of sitting either at a table as a workstation or letting others sit by them.
The location is near the train, paid parking around three main streets.
Would come again. Another option is to order ahead using their menu online.

A new favorite coffee shop. Baked goods made in-house. Vegan options. Lots of unique coffee concoctions for something different. In-house made almond, pecan and hazelnut milks. They also have oat milk.
International and culture conscious selections here. Also there is a wide selection of turkish coffee. I couldn’t try the coffee today but had hazelnut horchata latte which was rich in creamy milk and flavors. I also had a chocolate bakhlava which tasted like the fusion of brownie and bakhlava. As gifts I had turkish delights to go. Rose petals and nuts that make up the turkish delights are more delightful and flavorful than the traditional ones I know.
First time tried this place and it was good. We had the Turkish coffee, which was okay, along with Baklava and latte. The baklava was perfect, perfectly sweet and yummy. Lots of seating option available, overall it was an amazing experience I would recommend it.
Huge fan after my first visit! I had the hazelnut horchata latte and it was truly heavenly. The staff was really friendly and gave me some great recommendations when I asked. They're willing to answer any questions you have and were happy to accommodate customers preferences. All lattes can be made decaf. A great place to meet up with a friend or get some work done.
Prices are a bit more expensive but not abnormal for the area and very much so worth it for the quality. I've seen numerous reviews complaining about the wait however they have a note on the menu that you should allow 10 minutes for your order to be completed as they hand-craft each one. If you want generic, quick, burnt coffee go across the street to Starbucks, haha!
Parking: Free street parking is ample around the location
Outlets: Almost every table has access to a plug, huge plus!
Music: Chill vibes playing, if you don't like louder music this might not be the place for you to work but I enjoyed the bops.
