Reader's Choice Award for Best Brunch
Lula Cafe
There is nary a more iconic Logan Square scene than the hipster sprawl surrounding Lula on a Sunday morning—particularly when the sun is shining, the Ray-Bans come out in droves and Lula’s impressive seasonal menu is chock-full of farmers’-market finds. The laid-back front patio could nail this award on its own, but the scene only goes so far. It’s Jason Hammel and Amalea Tshilds’s fluffy omelettes (filled with constantly changing vegetables from the first stalks of asparagus to late-summer’s tomatoes) and whipped cream–topped stuffed brioche French toast that lure regulars. Anything from the rotating menu goes down that much more smoothly accompanied by a spicy black sambal (chile paste) Bloody Mary or a blackberry Bellini. 2537 N Kedzie Blvd, 773-489-9554
Other nominees: Bongo Room, m.henry, Orange, Over Easy Cafe, Tweet, Vella Cafe, Yolk
