Julius Meinl is a Vienna-based company that is a leading manufacturer/retailer of coffee, gourmet foods, and other such products. Oddly enough, they also have two restaurants/coffee shops located in Lakeview and Lincoln Square in Chicago. Tonight, Rob and I decided to check out the one in Lakeview with my aunt, who recommended it to us. We started off with their delicious coffee drinks (decaf German chocolate macchiato for me and strawberry hot chocolate for Rob), feasted on their reasonably priced and incredibly fresh sandwiches (turkey avocado for me, turkey on brioche for Rob), and finished the night off with some decadent dessert (nutella crepes for me, blueberry jam crepes for Rob). Needless to say, it’s been several hours and I’m still so full I can barely function. Julius Meinl is true to its European roots and is a wonderful restaurant whether you’re in search of a good cup of coffee or tea, or just want to have a cheap (but tasty) lunch with friends.

Anna’s German chocolate macchiato. All of their drinks are served on trays, European-style.
Rob’s turkey on brioche sandwich.
Anna’s nutella crepes. Yes, they are just as amazing as they look.
