Will Ferrell was in Chicago and filmed "Stranger Than Fiction", one of the locations was Catedral Café. Will filmed with Maggie Gyllenhaal ("Secretary") in a set transformed from a Coffee Shop to a Bakery/Coffee Shop. Catedral Café is the first elegant upscale coffee shop in Little Village and within the Hispanic community where the unique European/Mediterranean menu is served in the area at reasonable cost. Catedral Café, with its furnishings reflecting European and Latin-American cafés, feels like Italy, Paris, or Morelia. The curving stairs, copper tables, and religious ornaments evoke a wonderful sense of déja vu as you enter to the sounds of animated conversations. Whether you are shopping, on your way to work, looking for a quick bistro lunch, or seeking a discreet rendezvous, Catedral Café is an ideal destination. Enjoy the lively atmosphere, occasional music, and hearty inexpensive food seated in a cozy place. Sample favorites, such as, paninis, smoked salmon crepes, shrimp salad, and the desserts that are not to be missed, starting with the tiramisu. So slow down, sip a refreshing cappuccino or quaff a smoothie, and escape the stress of the day in a relaxed way.
