"This Old Town shop has a stellar food lineup starring cevape, the Balkan sausage. The coffee menu includes Four Letter Word and Sputnik roasts, and the homey vibe invites patrons to linger. Yes, Doma makes a cameo in Season 3 of “The Bear.”" - Ashok Selvam
"Sydney’s life isn’t exactly the same in season three after she visits Doma in River North, where she has a talk with Chef Adam about possibly leaving Carmy’s kitchen. This Croatian cafe’s cevapi wrapped in fluffy flatbread is similarly life-changing. No internal struggles about abandoning your dysfunctional work family required. " - adrian kane, nick allen
"River North’s Doma Cafe first got our attention with their fantastic cevapi that we’d run through a wall for. But the breakfast sandwich is also worth doing your best Kool Aid Man impression for. Whether you get it with bacon, maple sausage, or avocado, they all work in perfect harmony with the fluffy scrambled eggs, a pillowy english muffin, and some peppery housemade hot sauce. And if like us you always think, “This would be amazing with a hashbrown in the middle”, well, those crispy potato dreams can and should become a reality. Their hashbrown is perfectly fried with a soft inside, and comes with an almost fruity honey mustard that should definitely join the sandwich party." - john ringor, veda kilaru
"This Croatian cafe has one of the city’s best english muffin egg and cheese sandwiches regardless if you’re team bacon, sausage, or avocado. We’re also big fans of their breakfast plate with eggs, greens, crispy hashbrowns, and the smokey cevapi. And when it’s too cold to hang out on their isolated back patio, their bright space’s large windows still guarantee that you can get your vitamin D fix." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
"This casual Croatian cafe has become our favorite place to get some work done in River North. It’s not just because Doma is quiet, has strong wifi, a cute side patio, and a soothing Scandinavian furniture store aesthetic (the vintage chairs are for sale, too). No, it’s also because the food is excellent. It’s open for breakfast and lunch, and the menu has dishes like a must-order ćevapi wrapped in fluffy flatbread with clotted cream and a roasted pepper spread, a spicy breakfast sandwich, tasty soups, and pastries. All of which are likely to distract you from whatever reports you’re supposed to be typing on your laptop." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
