The Spoke & Bird (Pilsen)

The Best Restaurants In The South Loop - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Located a block away from picturesque "Millionaire’s Row," the main draw at Spoke & Bird is their excellent patio and the park next door where you can forget that you’re a block away from freight train tracks. But this coffee shop is open year-round, and there’s a surprisingly extensive food menu. Breakfast (served until 5pm) has options like cheesy grits with vegetables, challah french toast, and biscuits and gravy. There are salads, soups, and sandwiches for lunch and dinner, plus booze to numb the pain of not investing in Bitcoin in 2014 and becoming a millionaire yourself." - veda kilaru, adrian kane, john ringor
