Ain’t She Sweet Cafe

Ain’t She Sweet Cafe brought founder Margo Strotter’s Bronzeville sandwich shop to Beverly, and the Western Avenue cafe at 99th Street works as the neighborhood’s quick lunch. The counter turns out sandwiches, wraps, soups and salads, blends smoothies and keeps a case of sweets, and catering trays and boxed lunches go out to offices and family parties across the city. The shop sits on the Western strip a few blocks north of the brewpubs, with the 99th Street Metra stop a short walk east.
