DISCLAIMER : this review is solely based off experience and decision making. We didn’t get the full experience because we willingly sat in a tight area. I think that if we actually sat at the restaurant, it would be better. The pastries, some were way too sweet and others were great.

My friend is a very picky eater but she ate the entire chicken salad sandwich and the chips plus mine. The Turkey Brie sandwich was ok and the mushroom soup was good but missing something. I ordered hot tea and it came with the cutest but simple tea pot. Tea bag was separate. (Pretty decent selection of tea) I think the real stars of the cafe are the wall art and the bakery. I am never disappointed with any of their baked goods. From pie, Swedish princess cake (many years ago), cookies, and my favorite the marbled cream cheese brownie.

Quality food. Quiche was excellent! Other guests at the table enjoyed the avocado toast and chicken pot pie. The menu has good variety – from classics to healthy options. Would return here.

Went there on Saturday and though they had a limited breakfast menu, my quiche lorraine did not disappoint. It was very flavorful and served alongside a tasty salad that complemented it well. Selmarie is my favorite place to get a mocha. I’ve had multiple desserts as well and all delicious.

I had the best meal for dinner. I ordered the chicken schnitzel with mashed potatoes & arugula salad. I felt like I was eating a home cooked meal with clean ingridients!! My friend got the side of sweet potatoes and they were also very good.

I’ve been coming to this cafe since I lived here in the 80’s and 90’s. It has grown so much since the small hole in the wall that it was, and it is well deserved. I’ve always loved the atmosphere in Lincoln Square and this cafe compliments it very well. Service is great, staff is super friendly and attentive. The food is cooked very well and the pastries are to die for! My only complaint is that they stopped making my favorite cinnamon rolls (I remember them being called “morning buns”). But otherwise, everything is great!

We are regulars at Cafe Selmarie, a gem of Lincoln Square. This is where we take visitors to show them how vibrant our neighborhood is. Breakfast is wonderful with a banging breakfast sandwich and seasonal quiche option. Great espresso or latte or go with your breakfast. Lunch and dinner options are similarly delectable. They have a pretty big indoor dining space and a patio that sits right in the square. Desserts are as good as they look. We absolutely love Selmarie and would recommend it for any meal!
