Yum! Had a Spinach Special omelette, multigrain pancakes & their thick cinnamon raisin toast. Deliciousness!
Had the turkey sausage. Pretty tasty. The buttered raisin toast is awesome. Super nice staff at 10A.
Stacks of “meltaway” pancakes are perfectly browned, omelettes come in hot skillets (try the sweet, rich apple-and-cheese variety), waffles are light and crisp, and pastries are baked fresh daily. Read more.
Beef empanadas = must try! They have eggs and raisins in them...so good!
Empanadas, pancit noodles, adobo chicken...whatever you order, you can't go wrong!
You can't go wrong with the signature platter. It's my usual.
Try the beef empanadas. The olives and raisins make it really good.
Best empanadas of your life, I promise. Champinion Chicken with the Russian Dressing. Two empanadas and you're stuffed.
Champinon Chicken: Featuring tender braised chicken with sautéed mushrooms, tomatoes, and onions, this was warming and filling—absolutely perfect for the cold night.
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie: Sporting some beautiful lacey butter and brown sugar edges and a deliciously chewy center, this is one oatmeal cookie unmarred by the inclusion of raisins.
You can't go wrong with any choice here. They have great front and back patios. Laptops by day cozy date spot eve.
A pretty girl w/ a pink scarf & reddish hair smiled at me once here. It was almost as sweet as the pastries. The prospect of seeing both keep me coming back whenever I'm in town.
Regular cookies are $1.25 each. Today they had a special (6 for $4 and change). The Double Chocolate Chunk and the Oatmeal Raisin were so good. I want to try the Double Chocolate Mint next time.
For a twist on the traditional cookie experience, choose the deluxe Triple Chocolate Chunk: The warm and gooey conglomeration of large chocolate squares puts tiny chocolate chips to shame. Read more.
Cookiewich = cookies with ice cream, Bigwich = cookies with frosting. Super important difference, always go for a cookiewich, bigwich is gross af
Cheddar + asparagus omelette - delish. They also have raisin toast and freeeeeesh OJ.
Serious French raisin toast here. Yum
Great place to meet friends for breakfast, lunch, or even a cup of coffee!! Their bacon is amazing!!!
Ask for the Fast Burn: habanero and raisin sauce that you can add to any burger. Tis a secret though.
Great burgers and amazing draft list. Definitely a go-to spot on the north side. There are many crazy sounding but delicious burgers including Elvis’s Last Supper, which has bacon and peanut butter.
Skip the food and just go for the beers
Favorite grocery store bar none. The bakery is awesome, I recommend the banana nut muffins and the cinnamon raisin walnut bread!
Mariano's is like Dominick’s, with all the same common groceries, wide aisles, impressive bread bakery and a cheese counter (though not a lot of artisan cheese). BUT this place has a piano player! Read more.
Make your own six pack selection is sick!
Cinnamon raisin loaf
For those looking for an actual bakery (vs. Pastries shop) medici has amazing cranberry and walnut bread!
The rooftop patio is the best seat in the house at this University of Chicago hangout. Read more.
Good breakfast place have yet to do lunch and dinner
The best pancakes in town!
Try Smoked shima aji tiradito blood orange, beets, maitake, trout roe & Duck ceviche crispy quinoa, pickled mango, gooseberries, salsa criolla, pickled cucumber, herby vinaigrette
Ceviche all the way! I loved the shrimp one and the octopus one. All dishes are fantastic, a nice surprise. The wine selection is great, too. The ambiance is very pleasant as well, highly recommended!
The service was really bad, the server didn’t come to our table. We asked for a glass for the beer for 3 different waiters. The food was ok but the ceviche portion was too small.
Everything is yummy
By far the best, kolatchkies, prune and cheese cakes.
Polish bakery, stop by when ever in Chicago
My neighborhood coffee shop, restaurant, bar. Great atmosphere! Friendly people, good menus from breakfast, lunch & dinner or anytime in between. Will try the cocktails sometime.
Brunch was fantastic, as was the huge portion of tiramisu
Good until now
They had a free wine tasting from 3-6 on Saturday. What a gem. Tried 4 great wines and the sommelier was incredibly knowledgeable. Will definitely be back for some more wine
IFS hosts tastings on most Saturdays. Their well curated selection strikes a great balance between novelties you'll enjoy trying and affordable treats that will tie together your next meal.
Great selection of wines, beers and spirits plus a fun, friendly & knowledgeable team.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
