Filipino Food in the heart of Chicago

Our story

We started from our home kitchen back in 2021, making plates for our community. Now, at our humble cafe and restaurant in North Park, Chicago, we strike to provide Filipino food and desserts made with heart and care.

What Our Guests Say

“Amazing Filipina food in a nice neighborhood. Service was polite and fast, and the food was extremely delicious. I would highly recommend if you’re just north of downtown Chicago!”

“Namit Cafe is such a special place. I don’t usually eat much Filipino food, but this was hands-down the best I’ve ever had—so authentic and full of flavor. Mark and Natalie are so kind, and Esther made us feel right at home. Their fun dessert menu is also amazing—I loved everything we tried. Support this local business! They’re doing such a great job, and you can tell they truly know what they’re doing. Highly recommend!”

“This place is truly a hidden gem of Chicago. I have been there twice and the food and service are amazing! The best time is at lunch when they are a little slower. If you are not familiar with Filipino food, no worries, the whole staff makes you feel like family and make great recommendations. Additionally it was pork free, and it was as good as the variety containing pork. The chicken Sisig and Lumpia are delicious, and the kare kare is a solid 10/10. I am hoping to make a third visit soon. Thanks again to the great people who work there!”
