The chocolate cake is perfect. It’s not overly sweet and very rich, and is probably the best chocolate cake I’ve ever had.

Love Loaf Lounge! That veggie breakfast sandwich is spectacular and on the lunch side I get the California Veggie.

One pleasant surprise last spring was the addition of ramps to the sausage breakfast sammy! 🤌🏽

And another great homemade English Muffin can be found at the Nice Guy Food Co. "pop-up" at The Long Room (which is a vibe in itself)

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the entire city — when you go back for sweets, get an oatmeal cream pie (in addition to all the things you got already — the breakfast sandwich is canon and that BLT is amazing!) Also like the chocolate crinkle (which is so black I wonder if they use activated charcoal), the fun savory danishes and the cinnamon roll.

This review reminded me so much of my favorite place in my old neighborhood - Smack Dab in Rogers Park. Definitely check it out if you're on the far north side. Delicious and all scratch made. Breakfast sandwiches to die for and a small selection of great bakery items. Also owned by a young husband and wife team who are where their hearts on their sleeve and are very active in the community.

I have heard nothing but wonderful things about that place. Rogers Park is an absolute gem of a neighborhood. Good reminder to go! I love how multicultural that area is!
