Shokolad Pastry & Cafe

This is a mixed review. I really wanted to like this restaurant, because the food was good and it’s a quaint, clean, & pretty cafe, but it’s hard to give this place a good review when the customer service was so poor. Customer service & being greeted in a friendly manner are important to me. Sadly, the last two times we dined here, the server, a young man, was un-attentive, unfriendly & ignored us. Because the food was so good I gave this restaurant a second chance, but sadly on my second visit, the service was just as bad, if not worse . I noticed the waiter was busy on his laptop & looking at his phone, instead of focusing his attention on the customers. To make matters worse, he was very unfriendly. A smile goes a long way in making somebody feel welcome, but I did not feel welcome at all. For these reasons, I will not be returning to this restaurant. In spite of the fact that their food was good, the service was so terrible that I just can’t return.

The best Ukrainian restaurant in Chicago!!! Food is always fresh and delicious I will definitely recommend this place ❤️

A very beautiful and cultural place with Ukrainian cuisine. I recommend it, it's very tasty!

Excellent dumplings. We got the pork filling dumplings which came with sour cream (great combo) and the farm cheese scallion dumplings. Both phenomenal. The honey pecan cake and chocolate coconut desserts were great. And it is BYOB which is a big selling point. Great visit.

This place is heavenly. Great food, beautiful interior, and fresh pastry and hearty meals, with great jazz in the background. My favorite place. Kid-friendliness: Frequently see families with children

Those pelmeni satisfied me in a way I never knew was possible
