YaYa Mas

"If you need a quick bite in Lincoln Park, this counter-service Greek spot is a decent choice. Their hot dishes like moussaka and sea bream with spinach and lemon are fine, so focus on their baked goods instead. The spanokopita has a good spinach-to-feta ratio, and the creamy bougatsa is solid if you constantly yearn for anything with sugar. But if you really want to give into your dessert desires, grab a seat by the windows or the few tables next to the shelves of grocery items to properly savor the baklava cheesecake. It’s not too sweet and has a great mix of textures from the crispy phyllo dough, smooth cake, and nutty base layer." - John Ringor

"This counter-service Greek spot in Lincoln Park is open from 7am-11pm. This means you can check out Yaya Mas for coffee and bougatsa on the way to work, spinach and feta pie for lunch or dinner, or when it’s 10:30pm and you want Greek cheesecake as a nightcap." - john ringor, veda kilaru
