Nestled in Berger Park, this laid-back, dog-friendly café boasts stunning Lake Michigan views, seasonal bites, and live music under the sun.
"Waterfront Cafe is an Edgewater restaurant that's attached to a coach house in Berger Park. They have a large patio that regularly features a variety of music sets, from small jazz trios to solo songwriter performances. They have a takeout window where you can order drinks and food like nachos, salads, and a lobster roll. If you're looking for an outdoor spot to hear some music by the lake that's as far away as possible from the rambunctious boat parties at The Play Pen, this is a great option. " - john ringor
"If Castaways is MTV Spring Break, Waterfront Cafe in Edgewater is Ina Garten’s spring break. This outdoor cafe is attached to a coach house next to the Berger Park Cultural Center mansion. It’s quiet enough to hear your friend complain about their expensive haircut, and has food like nachos, spreads, and sandwiches, which you order from a takeout window. There’s also live acoustic music. It’s basically the beach restaurant equivalent of linen pants." - adrian kane, veda kilaru
"Looking for a snack and a drink? How about an uninterrupted view of Lake Michigan? What about a park for the kids to play in? If that sounds good, then Berger park, and the Waterfront Cafe within it, will be perfect for you. Sandwiched between Sheridan ave. and the lake, Berger Park is small, quiet, and perfect in the summer time for a little escape. If you're coming from downtown, just hop on the 147 express north to Thorndale. In a few short minutes you'll go from hustle and bustle to calm and tranquil." - Sidekick Video
