The Growling Rabbit

One of my favorite things about living in Chicago is all of the cute and interesting café’s and restaurants around the city! This past weekend, a friend of mine and I found a cute café just down the street from Loyola’s Lake Shore Campus called The Growling Rabbit! In this post, I will talk about my favorite things about this new gem in the Loyola neighborhood.

My friend Abbey discovered the café one morning last weekend and asked me if I’d like to check it out for lunch. Of course, I said yes, I would never want to miss an opportunity to try a new place! The Growling Rabbit is just a short walk North down Sheridan, not too far past the 7/11. When we got there, the first thing I noticed was the cool lime green color of the walls, and the steps down to get into the building. These unique features of the place automatically intrigued me to eat there, well that plus the food smelled amazing! The café was filled with really unique people, and the two tables next to us sat really friendly people who we chatted with a little bit! I loved how social this little place was, making new friends as we enjoyed the atmosphere.

We then began to peruse the menu. They offered a variety interesting and delicious-sounding breakfast and lunch foods, with a bunch of vegan options! I was especially in the mood for something sweet, so I ordered a fruit and honey crepe. Abbey ordered a vegan breakfast burrito. When the food finally came, I was amazed. My crepe was beautifully decorated and tasted amazing! Abbey’s burrito was huge, and she said it was delicious. The food was not too overly priced, and the service was quick and kind!

All in all, The Growling Rabbit is a great little gem of a place to get good decently priced breakfasts or lunches close to campus! If you’re looking for a new place to try, I’d definitely recommend it!
