What started as a popular panini tent at the Green City Market puts down more permanent stakes at the busy Western, Milwaukee and Armitage intersection. Bright yellows and greens and solid blond wood chairs provide colorful relief from the monochrome urban frazzle outside, and frosted glass lamps shine a flattering light on the young and healthy brunchers. Forget the old-school two-eggs-scrambled-with-hash-browns breakfast. Here the scramble is hidden in a bulging crepe with a stream of creamed spinach fennel sauce meandering across. A hearty filling of strawberries and orange honey cream cheese bulks up French toast. Salads and a variety of sandwiches and panini round out lunch choices.
