"This Lincoln Park spot settles in
nicely in an area lined with unique eateries and late-night nuggets.
Ambrosia Cafe is a vibrant, Middle Eastern eatery and hookah hangout
catering to trendy natives -- especially of the female persuasion.
First the smoothies: Owner Leo Razko boasts that his Mediterranean
smoothie (freshly squeezed apple, carrot, orange juices mixed with
fresh peaches, strawberries and bananas) and Ambrosia signature
smoothie (banana, date, honey and milk) make a statement. The
sandwiches have also been a hit with the ladies watching their
waistlines, including the veggie Labne sandwiches (yogurt and a
choice of bread with Mediterranean spices) and the build-your-own
salad option. For those thumbing their noses at dieting, pastries
from Sweet Thang are also on the menu. Indulge in
fresh fruit tarts,
raspberry mousse, cheesecake or the chocolate eclair. After hours
(after 7PM), guests may settle into cozy sofas and pillow-lined
benches for hookah pipes (11 flavors include strawberry, cherry,
banana, orange and mint), kitschy visuals on three plasma screens
and free wireless Internet."
This new
eatery offers a healthy mix of salads, soups and sandwiches. Patrons
can choose to either create their own salads and sandwiches or try
one of the delicious house specialties that incorporate a unique
Mediterranean flavor, such as the Labne
sandwich, yogurt spread
served on your choice of bread, with zaatar, tomato, olive and olive
oil, heated in a panini toaster. Owner, Leo Razko, has incorporated
some Chicago favorites by offering Carol's Cookies, and pastries
from Bucktown's SweetThang. Additionally, Ambrosia Cafe has fresh
fruit smoothies and juices, freshly roasted Spanish coffee, a wide
variety of teas and kid-friendly meal options.
Ambrosia Cafe's comfortable seating and inviting atmosphere are
enhanced by its three plasma televisions and free Internet access.
Hookah is available after 7 p.m. nightly, and BYOB is encouraged.

place."
Betsy
Brownnose three cubicles over. Never misses a meeting or a deadline. Always has a
smile for everyone. (She’s just so annoying.)
Then one night you caught her at Sonotheque, rocking her Bulga,
playing tonsil hockey with some dude in a mesh tank. Oh, well. So
much for judging a book by its cover.
Another case in point: Ambrosia Cafe. Sandwich/salad/smoothie joint
by day, BYOB hookah bar by night.
Stop by midafternoon and you’ll find inviting couches and chairs
occupied by webheads surfing for free, sports fans glued to plasma
TVs, and gaggles of girls picking at build-your-own salads. Pop in
after 7 p.m., and the cozy catchall turns into a chill hookah
hangout, complete with pipes burning apple, grape, strawberry, and
peach tobacco.
It’s the perfect place to kick back after a stressful day at the
office.
And if you bump into boring Betsy from accounting, heck, send over
some of your pinot.
