Bukas Cafe
Elmhurst
At Bukas Cafe, your latte arrives unfinished: someone appears with a chunk of tultul salt and grates it fresh over your drink, like a tiny performance at your table. The result is a sweet-savory Filipino-inspired brew that tastes like nothing else in the city. Pair it with an Adobo Jalapeño Melt and settle into this cozy Elmhurst corner.
