These are the kinds of reviews that make our day.

Thank you to everyone who’s taken a minute to leave a kind word, share a photo, or recommend Junebug to a friend.

We appreciate every single one.

Thanks for making Junebug a part of your story. 💛

This is our favorite view from behind the counter…

Tables full of family and friends.
Lots of conversation.
Plenty of laughter.
And a little Louisiana comfort food bringing everyone together.

We never get tired of seeing moments like these.

Thanks for making Junebug a part of your story. 💛

Here at Junebug, we believe everyone deserves to be introduced to beignets… preferably by someone they love.

Maybe it was a friend.

Maybe it was family.

Maybe it was a trip to New Orleans.

However it happened, we’re willing to bet you left with a little powdered sugar on your shirt…

…and a big smile on your face.

If you’ve never had beignets before, we’d be honored to make your first experience one to remember.

And if it’s been a while, we’d love to help you relive it. ❤️

🥧 Help us settle a little Junebug kitchen debate…

Our hand pies have become one of our favorite things on the menu, and we’re thinking about adding something new.

If you could only choose ONE, what would you want to see next?

🖤 Blackened Chicken Hand Pie

🥪 Rigamaroo Hand Pie

🍲 Seafood Gumbo

🍗 Hot Honey Chicken & Beignets

Tell us your pick by liking your pick in the comments below —or throw out an idea we haven’t thought of yet. Who knows… it just might end up on the menu. 👀

A New Orleans classic… the Junebug way.

Meet our Muffuletta 'Rigamaroo'.

Toasted French roll, salami, deli ham, smoked provolone, arugula, tomatoes, our house olive salad, remoulade, and a drizzle of olive oil.

Is it traditional? Nope.

Is it ridiculously good? We think so.

Stop by and tell us what you think. 🫒🥪

Here’s some exciting news to perk up your Tuesday…

Owner and self-taught chef Chris Murphy has been invited to represent Junebug Café at Chicago Gourmet’s inaugural Rise & Shine event this September!

As a small, family-owned café, opportunities like this mean the world to us. It’s an incredible honor to be invited, and we’re beyond excited to share a little of what makes Junebug… well, Junebug.

If you’ve stopped in for beignets, grabbed a coffee before work, or brought friends in to try our food, thank you. Our amazing guests are the reason opportunities like this are possible, and we couldn’t be more grateful for your support.

Help us congratulate Chris in the comments—we know he’ll make Portage Park proud! 💛
