This is a fun place to go to brunch on the weekends!

I've been to both locations several times now, and definitely consider it to be a staple for brunch in Chicago. I love the extensive tea list; there's something for everyone in there. I also have tried their coffee drink of the month a few times and if you're up for a sweet and weird coffee then it's worth it!

As far as the food is concerned, it's really pretty stellar. It's fun to order a few things and share, like the brioche french toast, the baked eggs (the tomato, basil and goat cheese is my favorite), and a sandwich. I also love the pastries here (from the croissants to the cupcakes...), so that is fun to add to the mix as well.

The service is iffy...sometimes great and sometimes not, but this is a fun place to spend a weekend morning!
