This is my favorite place in Chicago. Get your breakfast sandwich on the herb cornbread, get an incredible latte made w/ oat milk and tip these kind people real big.
Take a tour at Koval Distillery to learn about (and taste) different variants of liquor. It includes 4-7 samples of their many products, from whiskey to gin, and more. $10. Read more.
Bake gets the Blueberry Muffin right: a springy, not-so-sweet interior packed with tart, bursting blueberries, capped with a crumbly oat top.
The best vanilla oat milk latte I’ve ever had! I come here way too much, but I can’t get enough. Staff is always nice too.
In house roasted coffee, small plates, and a menu that changes almost daily. Lots of sunlight and classic industrial inspired furniture. Try the community table in the back and make a new friend!
Gaslight roasts its own beans and brews them via drip, pour-over and siphon methods. http://tmoutchi.us/13RnXNp Read more.
The Ranger Cookie--a favorite with the Chicago stroller set--is all about texture. Big and pleasingly lumpy, it’s filled with oats, walnuts, chocolate chips and Rice Krispies. Read more.
I particularly like the mazamorra crumble, a sort of concentrated mixed-fruit tart with an oat and almond crust. Read more.
The cerviches, sashimis, and everything else we tried were excellent. Head to the second floor for better seating & atmosphere.
The criollo tiradito at Tanta is one of the 100 best things we ate this year. http://tmout.us/rLOtk Read more.
