Mil Colibris Bakery and Cafe

The best avocado toast I’ve ever had! It says it’s the “basic avocado toast” but it really is exceptional!They are flavor geniuses! The atmosphere is so cute too! Love all of the pottery and figures for sale. They really have something special here.

Great baked goods and coffee. We ordered a muffin, sweet tart, the mini pudding cake and cupcakes to go. We have also tried the Paninis and Avocado toast. They were all extremely tasty freshly baked and the raspberry tart was probably the best I’ve ever had!

What can I say: the bakery, food, and drink offerings here are outstanding and the owner is incredibly friendly and clearly passionate about what she's doing. You really can't go wrong with any of the grab and go cake, cupcake, or pastry items. We've gotten many of them, and we've also gotten special order cakes from here that have been wonderful. Their breakfast burritos (vegetarian or not) are a great quick breakfast option. The quiches (which are relatively new) are exceptional. The hibiscus agua fresca is a lovely refreshing drink for a hot day. I hope this place stays here for a long time because its popularity has added liveliness to the Roger Williams area.

Mil Colibris Bakery and Cafe While waiting for my client at the Ravinia Metra Station, I noticed Astro Coffee Roasters next door. Hoping to find some breakfast, I asked inside but they only had coffee. That’s when I discovered Mil Colibris Bakery and Cafe right next door. The moment I walked in, I was welcomed by the warm, inviting atmosphere. Initially, I was unsure whether to order at the cashier or head to the back where the bakery items were displayed. I quickly figured out that I needed to order at the cashier but also check out the bakery section. While perusing the bakery offerings, I was tempted by a single remaining concha cookie and churro donuts—two of my favorite Mexican pastries creatively reimagined. The concha, traditionally a sweet bread, had been transformed into a cookie, and the churro had been turned into a donut. This level of pastry mastery was impressive, but mindful of my carb count, I decided to save those for another visit. I then turned my attention to the menu. It was around 11 AM, so brunch seemed appropriate. I chose the chicken-avocado-bacon panini, while many others were ordering the popular breakfast burritos. I also opted for a salad instead of chips to keep things light and ordered a café americano, specifying it for here to enjoy the full experience. After placing my order and receiving my number, I found a lovely spot outside. The ambience was perfect—Highland Park's pleasant atmosphere with people biking and walking by. The outdoor seating, though limited, added to the charm of the experience. The staff brought my food to the table, and I couldn’t resist snapping some pictures. The panini, cut beautifully in half, was perfectly balanced with crispy bread and flavorful fillings, including a guacamole-style avocado spread that wasn't messy. The side salad, with fresh cucumbers and dressing served on the side, was a refreshing accompaniment. The café americano arrived in a mug, well-balanced with just the right amount of espresso and water. The overall experience was delightful. Mil Colibris has now become a staple for me, and I can’t wait to return to try the churro donuts and concha cookie. I highly recommend this spot for anyone waiting for someone from the Metra, getting off the train, or simply exploring the area. It’s a perfect place to relax and enjoy a delicious meal.

Fantastic little bakery and café and I love that it’s locally owned!! The owner is so sweet and the service is awesome. And of course, as all the other reviews say, the food is delicious. I hope this place is around forever.

I love this restaurant. Dani an absolute gem. This bakery is absolutely delicious. Muffins are baked fresh daily , cakes (I had my husband’s birthday cake made) was devoured. I highly recommend Mil Colibris. Trust me, you’ll be glad you did

I love everything about this place! The owner is incredibly sweet, the space is welcoming and thoughtfully designed, and you can tell the food is made with love. This is exactly what the neighborhood needed. Everything I have eaten has been excellent - from the chorizo breakfast burrito to the brownie - which is no joke the best brownie I have ever had!! Not to mention they make an awesome iced latte.

Food is always fantastic. The avocado toast, the breakfast burritos, and the lunch paninis are bangers, not to mention the brownies (we always grab one to-go). The owner and employees are all very sweet and the space is vibrant—in the summer the full windows open and it's just a really pleasant spot to grab breakfast or lunch. Would love to see more authentic, small places like this open up and thrive in the North Shore.
