Welcome to Layla & Ringo's, a delightful café nestled in the heart of Chicago at 914 N Wells St. This charming spot goes beyond your average coffee shop by creating an inviting atmosphere that resonates with coffee aficionados, food lovers, and even our four-legged friends!

At Layla & Ringo's, you'll be treated to a menu that features creative takes on beloved breakfast classics and wholesome options perfect for those mid-day cravings. Start your day right with a plate of freshly baked bagels available in various flavors: plain, sesame, and everything. Pair that with a luscious avocado toast, topped with perfectly roasted tomatoes and creamy burrata. Want to level up your brunch? Add a fried, scrambled, or poached egg for a delightful protein boost.

For something a bit more indulgent, don't miss their breakfast burrito—a satisfying combination of scrambled eggs, seasonal vegetables, and aged white cheddar wrapped in a warm tortilla. And if you’re in the mood for a refreshing treat, the smoothie bowl is a must-try; crafted with almond butter, blue banana, figs, cocoa, and topped with crunchy hemp seed granola, it's a literal bowl of sunshine.

But it’s not all about breakfast! Enjoy a comforting bowl of tomato bisque made from heirloom tomatoes and crème fraîche or dive into the rich flavors of their chicken noodle soup featuring tender pulled rotisserie chicken. There are also delightful sandwiches like the classic New York style with housemade whipped cream cheese and lox, or the hearty turkey club, a fusion of roasted turkey, avocado, and applewood bacon on freshly baked bread. You'll find that each dish is crafted with care and made to be savored.

The atmosphere at Layla & Ringo's is both relaxing and uplifting; it presents a perfect backdrop for catching up with friends, diving into your work, or simply enjoying a quiet moment as you sip on one of their renowned coffee drinks. Patrons rave about their drinks—especially the vanilla bean latte and the strawberries and cream latte, though some note that the prices can be a bit steep. Nonetheless, with the cozy vibe and friendly service, it becomes a worthwhile splurge.

Bringing your furry companion along is encouraged! There’s nothing quite like sipping on a rich coffee while your pup explores the pet-friendly areas. As one delighted customer remarked, “Wow! This place is amazing! A dog’s paradise!” The staff here take pride in offering a welcoming environment—where friendly encounters and artisanal goods mix harmoniously.

So whether you're searching for your new favorite café to unwind, or just a tasty spot to grab a bite before you jet off to your next adventure, Layla & Ringo's is a destination worth visiting.

This was our first experience at it was fabulous! My husband got the BLT and I got the smoothie bowl. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because the BLT was inconsistent: the avocado and spread was only on one side of the completed sandwich; it was THAT good, it matters! The smoothie bowl was phenomenal - the addition of Dark Matter coffee in it was such a nice touch - no notes

Pro: An amazing coffee spot to catch up with friends or get work done. The coffee is a little pricey, but good. Recommend strawberries and cream latte. Cons: As for food, Caesar wrap needs some work. I did think the almost $7 for a lavender black tea was psycho. Will come back, but will stick to coffee.

This is our last stop before we catch our flight. Wrong decision. This coffee place is the kind of place where you stay and really enjoy the space. Food and drinks are great. I love their mini mart. If I live in Chicago, this could be my spot to get some work done during the day because of the vibe.
