Stylish Lincoln Park cafe with standout pistachio croissants, creative coffee drinks, and a small but appealing brunch menu; expect lines, tight seating, and occasional service speed inconsistencies.
Soloway delivers solid cafe quality anchored by strong food quality—the pistachio croissant and creative breakfast items earn genuine devotion—and stylish modern design in a desirable Lincoln Park corner. However, inconsistent execution across drinks and pastries, combined with notable wait times and tight seating during peaks, prevents a higher grade. It's a worthwhile destination for signature items during off-peak hours, but not a reliable all-day workspace or family brunch spot.
One caveat: Lines can be 20-45 minutes at peak; consider off-peak visits
