Snickerdoodle cupcakes and sprinkle sugar cookies are definitely the best! Go early in the day to get the "fresh" stuff and best selection. They also serve Intelligentsia coffee which is amazing!
Try the Snickerdoodle and The Dirtcake...you won't regret it
Try the Snickerdoodle
A strawberry and snicker doodle ice cream sandwich is the best
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
Incredible food! Love the brunch menu. Also get the snickerdoodle cookie for dessert :) so good
Can we talk about those snickerdoodle cookies, please? Unreal.
Looks like a classic American diner but serves vegetarian and vegan versions of comfort foods such as reuben sandwiches, country-fried steak and even a turkey dinner on Thanksgiving. Read more.
best bakery in the area. their marble cake donut is shatteringly crisp yet soft and moist on the inside.
This bakery is a Taylor St. staple. After a year of renovations, it is good to see them open again!
Staff is nice. Food is good. Breakfast toasts are yummy. They had World Cup watch parties. Love it.
One of my favorite boon stores :) great place to get away and relax with a good book and a nice glass of wine.

If you want a good cup of coffee or tea and can't stick around to drink it, head here above all others. If you want to sit down, head to Kickstand, Argo or Intelligentsia.
Best pizza in Chicago. A crown jewel on the westside in Pilsen.
Ha!!! I love this place
The pizzas can be topped with a number of options including smoked ham, ground beef, zucchini/squash mix, roasted potatoes and more. Oh, don’t forget the garlic butter crust either. Read more.
One of the best Chicago pizzas around. Get the Cesar salad before the pizza, you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Try the basil tomato w/ sausage .....thin crust of course!!
Love this place!! Yummy
anything with chocolate frosting. lemon cupcakes. red velvet.
I love this place, BUT about a year ago they decided to start charging $.50 for a box if you want just one cupcake! Otherwise, they wrap it in tissue and stick it in a paper baggy!
Awesome intelligentsia coffee here!!!
The breaded tilapia with kale is amazing! I hope it never leaves the menu.
The almond coconut pancakes are quite literally the most decadent things I've ever eaten.
Try not to inhale while biting down on a lemon bar. You'll stir up a dust storm of powdered sugar in your mouth and gag.
One of my favorite spots in Chicago. Skip the entrees and order a bunch of apps to share. Brunch is also amazing. Eggs Benedict hash with bacon. Yum.
Calamari. Very yum. So taste. Wow.
A great place to get that summer vibe during the cold Chicago winters. And fantastic food! The other tips don't steer you wrong. Must haves: calamari & burrata.
It's very delicious and tasty. Love going here and every year it never changes
Don't get the blizzard in the waffle cone, kind of disappointing.
No hamburgers!?!
Wednesdays are $5 martinis. The fries are delicious. The 5 cheese crab dip melts in your mouth.
Surprisingly good bourbon list. Ask Christian.
THUMBS DOWN
Banana pudding is a must. I can't pass this place without getting the urge.
The ultra-creamy texture of the banana pudding is interrupted with small chunks of banana and, best of all, Nilla Wafers that turn to tender cake after bathing in the pudding for a day or two.
Skip the cupcakes - go for the banana pudding!
Best salad bar in Chicago, unbelievable chili and to die for burgers...paired with your favorite pint and you can't go wrong!
