Swadesi Cafe in Chicago

The insta algorithm showed me Swadesi in Chicago conveniently right before a work trip so you know I had to make a stop here for some chai! Here you can find food and drinks with traditional Indian flavours mixed with a contemporary twist. I was so intrigued by their unique desserts including the poached pear cake, carrot halwa and dirty chai tiramisu! 

Their menu has lots of savory options as well such as the chicken tikka toastie, samosa chaat croissant and avocado toast but I opted for the breakfast sandwich. I got the masala chai for my walk back to the office but was so intrigued by their rose and orange latte as well as the sparkling tamarind lemonade. The space was pretty  big with plenty of seats and some high top counter space as well. I definitely want to come back here to try the butter chicken croissant and the mango ras malai jar!
