Consistently excellent breakfast sandwiches, delicious specialty coffee drinks, friendly staff, and a locally owned inclusive business that is very involved in our community. Hands down my favorite breakfast spot in RP.

Great food, small place. The "bestest seller" is one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had! Wish the place was bigger, but what you gonna do? Get it to go.

Tropical apple cider donuts were divine. Priced to match. Also very crowded so we carried out, but seems like a fun place.

Hands down some of the freshest food I've had in a restaurant in a while!! My Mom saw Smack Dab on the television show "Chicago's Best" and raved about how delicious the food looked and really wanted to visit. We finally made it happen and from the first bite we were impressed! We both had the Bestseller sandwich, my Mom had coffee, and I enjoyed a hot chocolate. We also took some of their apple cider donuts to go. Everything was delicious!! We will definitely be back and will order delivery when the time arises.

The food and coffee are a delight, and so is the staff! Expect long lines on the weekends, but that kind of popularity just shows how supportive the neighborhood is of this place. Expect to bump into friends both old and new while you enjoy a queer-friendly atmosphere!

Everyone is generally quite friendly. Their food is top notch and I have not had a complain. I am a big fan of their vegan-friendly donuts and their breakfast sandwiches. The Lox Bagel is must and the biscuits & gravy. The coffee is great especially with oat milk. The cold brew could be better though

We were in search of a reasonably priced brunch option in Rogers Park and came across this gem! Smack Dab is DELICIOUS and reasonably priced. We went around 11:30a— it was pretty busy then— but we managed to get a patio seat after about 15 minutes of waiting. The service is exceptional and over all great cozy and casual vibes. I love their stainless steel cups for iced beverages!

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! This place has amazing vegan and gluten free options. They are super accommodating with helping to veganize your dishes. The customer service is amazing. So friendly. Everyone seems to enjoy being there. The atmosphere is great and patio seating! I got the breakfast hash bowl. The portion is huge and the taste is fantastic! My boyfriend got the Denver scramble and a croissant and he said it is the perfect croissant. The perfect croissant!!! We will definitely be back and we will be bringing friends. Thank you so much.

I came here because my son said he wanted donuts and this place did not disappoint. They make three different donut flavors each day and today they were amazing. I had maple, mango and a cinnamon donut and they were perhaps the best donuts I’ve had with a cup of coffee. They also serve breakfast/brunch food and other baked goods. A very trendy place with a parking lot and indoor and outdoor seating and WiFi.

Delicious homemade doughnuts. I also had an iced latte. Very good but they charge way too much for iced coffee here. Over $6 for a large iced latte- Even more than Starbucks and the cup size was much smaller. I would have given it 5 stars but the price of coffee was disappointing.

Goodness gracious, the best cake donut I ever had. I have not been here personally but a good friend of mine picked up some donuts and shares. I do not know how they can make a cake donut feel like your eating sawdust. The texture was like a buttered up pound cake and that is a yummy thing. If you like cake donuts, this is the joint.

Rae Loren

18:29 07 Apr 19

Very good local donut shop. Welcoming atmosphere. They have a wide selection of food with dietary variations. They can make things vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free. They carry oatmilk.

High quality and care goes into the food and beverages here. I was greeted by the busy barista and that energy carried on from cashier to the runner. I sat at the bar and I have to say, I was beyond impressed with the kitchen's communication. Actually the communication overall. Working in hospitality, I appreciate the professionalism I observed.My slow self did not realize all build you own sammiches come with an egg. The gentlemen who helped me had my sammich remade and then explained to specify no egg on my next round.Even though it was my fault, he took care of it and continued the great experience.The bacon jam is the perfect touch and that chicken sausage was amazing as well. Nothing was too greasy and very filling! The beverage I had, name escaping me, was made with ginger syrup and a lemon garnish . . . AMAZING as well.Please take the time to eat in but on the go is gravy too!

Counter service diner. They give you a number and you crab a table. They rotate through donut flavors, with three on offer every day. The egg sandwich options are amazing, and you can customize at will! I went with the egg scramble, and omg it was good. The biscuits are big and delicious, and they have several amazing homemade jams to choose from.It's small, but cozy, with two all gender bathrooms and some great jam on offer.

I love everything about Smack Dab. I've been going since the beginning to the standalone & the pop-up. -(Rip for now to the latter.) The food is incredible & made with love. I especially love their biscuits & quiche, (so. many. choices.) but I've recently discovered their dinner time pizza on the weekends & I was blown away. Some of the best pizza I've ever had! That's saying A LOT. They also make really unique & fun donuts. (Piña Colada, Coffee etc.) Oh & they are not your traditional donut which is a plus due to them lasting well over a day on the freshness. Not to mention we've scored many a free donut upon leaving if they have too many. They do not like waste! Gotta love that. Anyway, I've also become obsessed with their coffee drinks & I'm not even a huge fan of coffee! They are delicious! Every one I've tried. The employees & owners are also exceptional folks. I even love the emails they send out! Who says that?! I'll continue to be a loyal regular.

I cannot say enough good things about this Cafe. They serve Halfwit coffee, some solid breakfast fare and on the weekends they do pizza. Everything they make /sell has some sort of gluten free and or vegan consideration and it all tastes great. When the cafe first started out, their espresso drinks were good but pretty basic. However, they've kept their basics and added in some great, creative drink and food options. In particular, I'd recommend the Honey Bear latte which comes with a pleasant amount of sweet and a dash of spice. They also do great donuts like s'mores chai, horchata, or classic cinny sugar.Aside from the food and drink though, this organization is super invested in the local scene. I've lived in the neighborhood for 8 years and have been them make a dedicated effort to being a part of the community and being as inclusive as possible. To say they are LGBTQIA+ inclusive is not enough. They are an explar for other places to follow, especially with the support and outreach I've seen them do for the trans community (among others). My only gripe with the place is the overall small and awkward size of their cafes. Part of this is the space they are working with and I'll admit that Metropolis will remain my favorite Chicago coffee. But that being said, I respect the hell out of this place and can assure you that every penny you spend here ( it is a tad pricey-er) stays in the community and is worth it.

The donuts are very light (which is nice because you can try multiple varieties.) I also recommend their green scramble, and the bacon spread is absolutely worth springing for.Also the music is pretty good hip hop!The only down side, there are limited number of seats on rainy days, but all said, worth the wait.

This is my most favorite place on earth. The owners are incredibly nice. The food is mind blowing. The homemade ranch is the best in world and I don't even like ranch. They have lots of dairy free options for my allergy and they have meat too. They're flexible and friendly. I eat here weekly now.

Wonderful egg scrambled, sandwiches, donuts, and coffee. Decent prices. Kid friendly too. Their chocolate Pepita bread is gf and so good! They make all their espresso drinks with oatly milk if you want. So delicious and creamy. Their pizza in the evening is so scrumptious. The cheese blend has five types that are perfect savory match to the nice thin-ish crust.

Yes yes yes!! These aren’t what people consider ‘Southern biscuits’ but these biscuit pleased us Southerns!! The sandwich was incredibly savory and left me full! The bacon jelly that came with the scramble was one of the best we have ever had! We will definitely be back because the food was awesome and the staff was super friendly. There are a lot of good places in Chicago but if you have the right staff, that makes us choose you to come back to!
