The 23 Best New Restaurants In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Lincoln Park’s Cafe Yaya opened with lots of expectations—it’s not easy being the sibling of Galit, one of the best restaurants in Chicago. But this all-day cafe stands out with excellent baked goods that have Middle Eastern flavors. The pastry counter is full of hits: shakshuka buns with tomato sauce and eggs, date cake punched up with rose, pistachio apricot scones, and walnut baklava. And while it’s great to swing by for an on-the-way-to-work galette, the warmly lit dining room has plenty of space to sit with your pastries, coffee, and emails near the open kitchen’s hearth. We haven’t tried dinner yet, but we’re already playing calendar Tetris to plan an evening visit." - adrian kane, john ringor, nick allen, adrian kane, nick allen, nick allen, john ringor, john ringor, nick allen, john ringor, nick allen, nick allen, nick allen, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, adrian kane, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor
