The 13 Most Exciting Restaurant Openings In America 2025
"Cafe Yaya is an upcoming Chicago cafe from the Galit team, which we love for picture-perfect salatim and fluffy falafel. And its younger sibling promises to bring the same Middle Eastern flavors to a more casual setting with pastries and snacks. The cafe will have lots of savory-sweet treats including walnut baklava, fig and goat cheese-stuffed challah, and potato bourekas during the day. In the evenings, you can expect similar thoughtful wine and cocktail selections, with bottles curated from often-overlooked regions like the French province Chinon and South America." - anne cruz
