"Jalisco-based Mexican coffee shop La Borra del Café features a choice of plain, sesame seed, or sugar-covered individually-sized pan de muerto within its pan dulce assortment. La Borra del Café has a handful of stores in the Chicago area. The cafe in Wicker Park has set up a small ofrenda." - Brenda Storch
"The first Chicago outpost from a massive Mexican cafe chain, La Borra’s Divison Street cafe features a selection of pastries such as orejitas and conchas, plus laminated options like croissants. The carb-y delights pair perfectly with cups of coffee, frappes, and Mexican hot chocolate." - Naomi Waxman
"This Mexican chain opened its first Chicago location in 2019 (it also has a suburban Berwyn shop). The library-like interiors are filled with books by Latinx authors. It’s a spacious and comfortable interior. The food includes pastries like conchas. Frappes are the specialty of the house." - Naomi Waxman, Ashok Selvam
"A Mexican cafe chain has arrived in Chicago with its first location that gives Division Street in Wicker Park yet another choice for coffee. For now, customers can only order takeout from La Borra Del Cafe — they won’t be able to linger inside the modern space and check out the stacks of books from Latinx authors on the bookcases. The menu includes toasts and a few Mexican pastries like conchas and orejitas, as well as frappes, Mexican hot chocolate, and coffee." - Ashok Selvam
