Illinois Street Food Emporium

Dropped in and had the cutest lunch with a friend. The croissant with the egg salad was so layered and beautiful. Egg salad itself was great too - soft, a little creamy and maybe some dill? The ham and cheese quiche was delicious and such a sizable portion, I was shocked! The fruit salad had a good mix and was also generous. Staff was very friendly and welcoming to first-timers. And pricing was great when everywhere else I’m absolutely shocked with costs of dining out. Had a perfect lunch! Looking forward to coming back soon.

Catered breakfast buffet where I work - a variety of options, including gluten free. Everything tasted amazing!

What an adorable hidden gem! I have lived in the neighborhood for years and just discovered this place. While waiting for my to go order today, an employee took the time to chat with me, only to find out he was the owner! Such a sweetheart and so personable. Think Panera-esque fast casual but with so much character and better ingredients. The to-go section was incredible! Bakery items, coffee, and a fantastic breakfast and lunch section. I already can’t wait to go back.
