Tried the sweet cheese, potato and onion, and mushroom gluten free perogis, all of them delicious. Ceasar was so kind and welcoming and his son was also super nice and very knowledgable about tea. Atmosphere was lovely and met the mayor of the restaurant (the cat). Also got some gelato and hot chocolate :P Coming back tomorrow to try the pickle soup

Excellent service! Unique, authentic Cafe. European atmosphere. The food was fresh and delicious. I tried the mushroom and mozzarella pirogi, dark chocolate, and the onion soup. everything was delicious. I also got some chocolate and tea to make at home. Excellent customer service. You feel welcome, and you notice the effort they make to make you feel comfortable. It is definitely worth every penny. It is one of those hidden places you should visit if you're in Chicago.

What a neighborhood gem! One of the best dinning experiences in a long time. My husband and I had a beautiful and delicious dinner of pierogis, tea and paczkis. We loved every bite! From choosing our tea from a wide selection delivered in a cart, opening our steaming pierogi pots , to the fluffy fresh made paczkis. The thoughtful plating and set up felt very warm and inviting. We will definitely return to try more!

What a terrific find! We stumbled upon Caesar's while researching family members on Irving Park, and Caesar took us in, provided us information, showed us his amazing shop, talked family history, and graciously took our photo (and posed for one himself). He is a real gentleman, a great personality, and a lovely person. The pizza pot pie is one-of-a-kind delicious! Gooey cheese, spicing sauce, and filled with mushrooms and meats. Must have! I will most definitely go back and have a hot cocoa next time. Mr. Caesar: my family and I were so happy to meet you and look forward to seeing you again.

This charming neighborhood shop is a true gem! With a staggering 200 varieties of tea, there’s something to please every palate, and the coffee is equally fantastic. The food is a delightful surprise—both the tamale and pierogi we tried were absolutely delicious, crafted with care and bursting with flavor. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service make this place perfect for a relaxed afternoon. Highly recommended for tea lovers, coffee enthusiasts, and foodies alike!

The Italian cookie gelato is so good. It was so cozy and my family felt so welcomed. The owner is truly a gem of a person, amazing to talk to! Plus his cat was adorable.

This is absolutely the best place. I love their drinking chocolate, asparagus soup, and- of course- pierogis. The atmosphere is wonderful and the people who work here is wonderful. There's also a cat. A CAT.

Caesar Pierogi & Cafe has quickly become a cherished spot for me in Chicago!!! The service is exceptional and friendly. The shop is literally so beautiful-cozy yet vibrant atmosphere filled with so much personality and color. I love all the uniqueness and decorations this cafe has to offer! Their Belgian hot chocolate is incredibly creamy and flavorful, undoubtedly the best I've ever tasted! I also tried a variety of pierogis, and I have to say every one of them was truly mesmerizing and quite the culinary experience!! However, what truly stands out is the gentleman managing everything, from orders to food preparation—he's an absolute gem who goes above and beyond for the cafe's guests. Feeling more than welcome during my visit, I'll definitely be returning to this place time and time again! Thank you again Caesar Pierogi & Cafe for the amazing, memorable experience!!!
