In Short
In a gritty neighborhood on the near West Side, this sunny, homey storefront cafe has peach walls, pastel table coverings and green plants in the windows. For breakfast, there are omelettes, skillets, whole-wheat pancakes and Belgian waffles. The lunch menu includes brown-bag lunches (sandwiches served with fruit and a cookie), plus hearty rotating specials like meat loaf. Dinner highlights include thin-crust pizza and a grilled rib eye steak sandwich.
