Came by the Ace after a walk in high park on a Sat morning. It's a 5 min drive btw.
I'd describe the decor as super cozy and hip. Loved the menu and I was wowed by the dessert selection but sadly I was too full to order any.
Besides the typical eggs Benedict, Ace breakfast (eggs, meat, toast, home fries, beans etc), breakfast burrito, huevo rancheros, they also had a wide selection of alternatives such as challah French toast with blueberries and bananas (looked Heavenly), croque madame (sold out by the time we got there at 11:30), Ace country fried chicken and johnnycakes, and candied salmon and avocado toast. Everything looked Drooooool worthy.
Anyway, I decided to try something new. I had a Dutch Baby. Made by a Dutch gentleman using Tomato Jam, Old Forester Bourbon Maple Syrup, Sunny Egg, Stonecroft Farms Pork Shoulder, Scallion, & Pickles. basically it was a big fluffy pancake with syrup, tomato jam, ham topped with some greens and pickles. Pretty interesting! If I wasnt too worried abt carbs I would have gone for the challah French toast xD
Their latte was great. Although they didn't have lactose free milk, they had almond milk! Drip coffee was just okay and regular for me.
Tip - reserve about 30 mins before you're ready to eat. Take a hike around high park and when you get back you'll be ravishing and ready to feast!
