Great place to meet and enjoy breakfast/brunch type meal more upscale than coffee shop. It's somewhat serve yourself and they don't have regular drip coffee but really nice atmosphere to enjoy a leisurely breakfast. Met a friend who hadn't seen in more than a year and we enjoyed breakfast and coffee over nearly 3 hours. This place is a gem!

Stumbled upon this place while looking for brunch places on Yelp! I'm so glad we came here! The decor is whimsical and filled with warm wood, bold green chairs, and all the pretty plants. I also appreciated the fresh flowers at the table. A great date spot! The staff are really nice and patient. Salmon Croffle: I was expecting just a sandwich, but it surprisingly came with a full plate of fresh veg too! I really enjoyed the sweet tomatoes as a compliment to throw savory, bready bites of the croffle. Pistachio Latte: well balanced latte that I got with oak milk. Not too sweet- it was perfect.

Very cute Korean cafe with a wide assortment of savory breakfast/brunch items, drinks and coffee, and delicate pastries. I have only tried the quinoa salad and smoked salmon sandwich, and they are both solid and worth the price! They both had so much salmon in there. I loved the rich nutty flavor of the pistachio latte. I will have to come back to try their renowned honey cake. Love the vibe of this place! It is great for working/studying and the service is good.

The plating at Sweet Moon is so exquisite that I imagine a chef using a pair of tweezers to meticulously place each item to be displayed on the dish. My mother and I talk for at least two minutes about the layout and design of the plated food before diving in and being even more amazed by the flavor combinations. My favorite menu item is the Merengue Roulette, a gluten-free merengue with mascarpone pistachio cream, raspberry jam, baked almond, and whole pistachios. For such well-crafted and well-balanced dishes, the wait time is not long, usually not exceeding 10 minutes. Although the place is typically always filled with people all customers are respectful of the noise level and it is quiet and serene. Great place to work or catch up with a friend!

My goodness. Sweet Moon is not even a mile away from my home and I've never been to it before today. I must confess, there have been many restaurants that have flitted in and out of this and the space next door, so I don't even always know what might be here at any time. And I never seem to see people in the restaurants along here so I hesitate to get attached. But I hope that Sweet Moon bucks the trend! They've been here for two years and I'm keeping my fingers crossed they are here for many more. Their food is great. I met some friends here and their chai was really good, and if it is made from a concentrate I couldn't tell. It had a subtle flavor, but also didn't taste watered down like is often the case. They also have pastries and small bites as well. I got a sausage roll and mashed potato... thing (I don't know what it was called) and both were really good. Well, so was the potato! They also had a few free samples out so we tasted a raspberry donut and mango. The mango was ok but not my thing (maybe because mango isn't a fruit I generally choose; I'm fairly indifferent) but the raspberry was so good. It didn't taste like a sticky jelly the way most filled donuts do; this was more like a raspberry gel or cream or something Fuller flavor and more true to the fruit, in my opinion. Next time I'd buy a full sized raspberry donut. I can promise it won't be another two years before I stop in again. There's street paid parking if you don't live in the neighborhood, or it's about a block or two north of the Damen Brown Line.

When I lived in Chicago, my friends and I loved to go to a Ukrainian restaurant because some of us are of Eastern European backgrounds and this food felt like home. Upon our recent visit, a friend recommended Sweet Moon and I was really excited for some Russian food. *Chicken cutlets - these were pretty good! *Lamb dish that I can't remember the name of, but it was delicious and had some pine nuts that added some nice texture and a good sauce *Syrniki - these were pretty good *Piroshki with potato - a good little bite to start the meal off! *Merengue roulette cake - this was my favorite of the cakes! *Honey Cake - really good traditional cake *Pistachio raspberry ice cream cake - also really good, and got better as it softened and got a little less frozen Overall, the food was really good and definitely a taste of home.
