A Logan Square classic. This restaurant is a staple in the community and the menu does not disappoint. A favorite brunch spot for locals...it gets pretty crowded on the weekends.

This is a little known secret in the neighborhood and they have the best cafe con leche. Sandwiches and coffee are their specialty. Their cafe Hawaiiano is a personal favorite.
