I love this place. It's my first choice when I'm in Yorkville and looking for somewhere to have a nice drink or dessert, or get a meal.

YUM!
Service was excellent. Food was delicious. I think this is my new all day breakfast/brunch place and it's perfect for a quick, yet non-fast food lunch place.
(I believe they do takeout as well, since we asked if I'll be dining in)

They specialize…More »
