honey crisp apples, delicious strawberries, wisconsin cheese, smoothies, and crepes... just amazing. wed and sat from 7:00 am- 1:00 pm.
Everything looks so fresh and good! On sat I deff recommend getting here before noon for a better selection. Coming back to try the crepe stand.
Don't miss the chef demos! Every Wed. and Sat. at 10:30am...see some of the city's finest in action.
A strawberry and snicker doodle ice cream sandwich is the best
Cookies are always fresh, hot, and chocolate chips are extra gooey. You can make your own ice cream cookie sandwich (2 different types of cookies are allowed) or an a la mode!
Cookiewich = cookies with ice cream, Bigwich = cookies with frosting. Super important difference, always go for a cookiewich, bigwich is gross af
The works of culinary art at this Chicago hot spot look almost too good to eat–almost. Our favorites include squab with charred strawberries on a birch log, and lemon soda custard.
Try the Tapas - Alinea "tapas"- bocadillo (left, iberico ham and manchego), gilda (top right, anchovy and olive) and patatas bravas (potatoes with chile and garlic). (via @Foodspotting)
Sardine sandwiches floating on titanium antennae, solidified olive oil -- Alinea may well be, and I do not say this lightly, the most important restaurant in America. -- Andrew Zimmern, Bizarre Foods
go for a strawberry mojito to compliment your meal
Always make a reservation, this place is very popular, bc the food is soo amazing!!
Everything is good here. love the strawberry and cheese croissants.
Banana nut muffin was perfect. But the paczki is truly unique and delicious.
Free WiFi and cute out door patio
Strawberry mango smoothie = awesome (their sandwiches are obviously great as well)
Lovely old-time gem in a neighborhood that is changing fast and that can easily be missed.
Jamaican Latte- not too sweet and just the right amount of spice :-) Sitting in the outside cafe area reminded me of the Parisian coffee shops. Lavender cookie- for an adventurous taste palette.
I liked the Strawberry Daiquiri, but the "lone independent strawberry riding on top with whipped cream" was missing; NBD, but should have been told that they were out
Great suprise around the corner. Buffalo wings are to die for. Super cosy bar.

This neighborhood trattoria is known for its charming Italian staff and authentic Italian food. Be sure to try one of the nightly specials; they are always delicious. - Inspector
Very large specials menu highlighting the freshness of the food. All the pastas are delicious! Very lively and warm environment.
Walked into this place and had the most welcoming greeting. The love salmon roll is delicious along with the armitage roll. Can't wait to get back.
Get everything!
Young is such a nice waitress!
The new chocolate covered blizzard is delicious.
Don't get the blizzard in the waffle cone, kind of disappointing.
No hamburgers!?!
The Miami roll is amazing! My fiancé and I each get one every time we are here!
I have yet to find a better sushi place in Chicago. The rolls are reasonably priced and delicious. If you're feeling up for it, the Miami roll is my favorite. The place is BYOB so bring a bottle!
The tasting menu was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Definitely worth going to for a special occasion.

Cookie Monster cupcake the absolute best. Go early in the day (before 3) to have many options to choose from for their stuffed cupcakes-the ones they are known for. Also cute space for taking pictures

Ideal for veggie lovers. Thick sauce and superb spinach and mushroom pies. - CBS Chicago Read more.
The 2 egg meat combo is plenty of food for one person. Get the pancakes and fruit. The pancakes are fluffy and delicious. Good service!
Yolk is amazing! Always super busy weekend mornings. Try going during the week.
If there's a wait, forget it. But overall the breakfast options are good.
