This place has been a Lincoln Square institution for a very long time. Congratulations to the owners who will be retiring soon. They have operated not only a great bakery and cafe for decades, they have also been a good model on how to be good employers and neighbors. I, for one, will miss stopping by for salmon with glass of wine and then fabulous dessert.

Had a lovely visit to Cafe Selmarie this week. Their pesto and eggs was absolutely delicious and their cinnamon roll was also a treat. Sad to see this cozy cafe go and I wish I'd had a chance to spend more time grabbing lunch or a pastry here.

Beautiful and traditional restaurant that serves a variety of fine foods. I can't believe that they are supposed to permanently close soon. I hope that this information is not true as neighborhood restaurants like this are getting rarer every day.

My friend is a very picky eater but she ate the entire chicken salad sandwich and the chips plus mine. The Turkey Brie sandwich was ok and the mushroom soup was good but missing something. I ordered hot tea and it came with the cutest but simple tea pot. Tea bag was separate. (Pretty decent selection of tea) I think the real stars of the cafe are the wall art and the bakery. I am never disappointed with any of their baked goods. From pie, Swedish princess cake (many years ago), cookies, and my favorite the marbled cream cheese brownie.

Quality food. Quiche was excellent! Other guests at the table enjoyed the avocado toast and chicken pot pie. The menu has good variety - from classics to healthy options. Would return here.
