From your morning pour-over to your evening old-fashioned — Kelli's is where 35th Street comes alive. No pretense, just good taste in every glass.
Kelli's Chicago wasn't born from a trend — it was born from a street. We opened our doors on East 35th with a simple belief: your neighborhood café and bar shouldn't have to choose between great coffee and great spirits. Ours is a space where the morning rush flows naturally into evening conversations, where regulars are known by name, and where Chicago's South Side gets the kind of hospitality it deserves.
Every drink is made with intention. Every seat at our counter feels like yours. That's the Kelli's promise.
Warm light, worn-in counters, and the kind of energy that only comes from a place people actually want to be.
We host regular events throughout the week. Stop by — there's always something going on at Kelli's.
Local musicians take the small stage every Thursday evening. Smooth sets, cold drinks, and the kind of night that stretches past midnight.
Grab a team, test your knowledge, and win drink credits. Our trivia nights are equal parts competition and community.
Bottomless mimosas, breakfast plates that actually fill you up, and live acoustic sets. Saturdays and Sundays, 10am–2pm.
We're right on 35th, easy to find and even easier to welcome. Reach out or just walk in — your seat is waiting.
Thanks for reaching out. We'll get back to you within 24 hours.
