Great place for brunch or lunch or dinner with a diverse menu and cute ambiance. It's also next door to the Empty Bottle, so you can walk over and see some up-and-coming Chicago bands.

The breakfast sandwich with bacon is so good that I sometimes order a second one. Also great made-in-house pastries, locally roasted Big Shoulders Coffee, and an atmosphere that takes you back to a simpler time.
