Gold Coast Cafe 754 North Clark Street, Chicago, IL 60654

"This place is SLEPT ON!!! Especially for breakfast. You can get a breakfast bagel/sandwich with $0.99 dark matter coffee in the mornings and they're super customizable. You can also order from kiosks when you walk in to make it as fast as possible, oh and they do FREE delivery! Sure, the sandwiches might seem a little expensive compared to like Jimmy John's or something, but this place uses fresh ingredients brought in daily and Boars Head meat & cheeses. Also, it's family owned and operated by a real local. The owner is the nicest dude around by a mile. Give them a shot!"

"Came in last week to order a sandwich to go. As soon as I walked in one of the guests in the seats turns around and stares at me. I was immediately uncomfortable. They kept staring at me for quite awhile before I even walked to the kiosk. I assumed I was going to be greeted but no one not even the person staring said anything. Once I reached to the kiosk, the person gets up and leaves. I’m waiting in the sitting area and the person returns back into the store. I get up and leave with my order and the person literally SAT DOWN in the EXACT same spot I was sitting at two seconds ago facing to the door. This creep had plenty of spaces to sit which made me uncomfortable to even walk out of the store. He watched me leave the store. Not sure if he was a worker or just a weirdo but I’m NEVER coming back."

"Ordered off menu and they catered to my request. I’m gluten-free so they made a bowl with the buffalo chicken, roasted red peppers, pickles and some chipotle mayo dressing. It was delicious! The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Very hip little sandwich shop with cool lighting and clean look. You can order from the kiosk or directly from the sandwich artist! They serve Dietz and Watson meats and cheeses along with some fresh fruits, muffins, breakfast sandwiches and a range of salads. Don’t forget the coffee or a smoothie when you’re in a hurry! Love this place and will be back!"

"This deli and cafe is owned by the Gold Coast Market guys so you know quality and customer experience are top priorities for them and it shows. I’ve been eating these sandwiches for over a year and they still haven’t gotten old. They’re delicious, staff are very friendly, and they’re frequently adding new items to the menu that keeps me coming back when I’m not in the mood for my favorite sandwich (the division st). I read those two bad reviews and I can’t believe them because I’ve personally witnessed and experienced them going out of their way to make sure their customers are happy, especially if something happens like they forgot to make a sandwich or are missing an ingredient. They went above and beyond to reconcile the complaint."

"The place is very clean and staffed by seemingly friendly staff and I'm a fan of their self-ordering kiosk and comfy seating. But that doesn't excuse a very small sandwich (upcharge on just 2 slices of London broil, really?) at $14. Won't return at these prices and portions."
