6 Delicious Items You Can Try at the Nutella Cafe (and How to Replicate Them at Home)
Every year on Feb. 5, we get to celebrate one of the tastiest foods to exist: Nutella. We love its rich, creamy texture, and it has the perfect balance of chocolate and hazelnut.
The brand knows how much we love it, too, and recently opened the first Nutella Cafe in Chicago. Below, discover some of the dishes you can order at the location—and a recipe to recreate it in case you aren't able to make it there.
Crepes
The Nutella Cafe is famously known for its crepes. You'll get buttery, flaky dough, topped with delicious Nutella. Then, you may customize your crepe to your hearts desires, including berries bananas, marshmallows, gelato and even more Nutella.

Overnight Oats
Did you miss breakfast? Get your morning oatmeal at the Nutella Cafe. Similar to the crepes, the only required topping is Nutella. From there, you can decide what else you might crave. Personally, we'd recommend chopped hazelnut and banana slices.

Espresso
If you're feeling drowsy, get a pick-me-up in the Nutella Cafe's Espresso Gourmet. In this miniature cup, you'll receive one shot of espresso, topped with whipped cream, toasted hazelnuts and, of course, Nutella. They also offer you a biscuit to have on the side.

Banana Bread
There's just something about bananas and nuts that go so well together—probably because their sweetness complements each other. You'll understand the hype when you try the grilled banana bread from the cafe. Aside from the bread's naturally fluffy texture, grilling it gives it just the right amount of crisp.

Hot Chocolate
Say goodbye to traditional hot chocolate. Once you try the Hot Nutella Cocoa, you'll desire Nutella in every warm winter beverage. Just like the original product, the hazelnut takes the chocolate to the next level. It enhances the taste tenfold, providing an earthy edge.

Panzanella
We never knew about panzanella until learning about the Nutella Cafe. According to the brand themselves, their recipe tops yogurt with pound cake, berries, basil hazelnuts and Nutella. It's savory, sweet and nutty all in one.
