"Chef and owner Jason Hammel continues to keep community at the forefront of operations at Lula Cafe, which has, since 1999, endeared itself to many in Logan Square as a welcoming space for new American cuisine. This is an all-day cafe with fresh-baked pastries and a stellar breakfast burrito. At night, the deep wine list accompanies dishes like roast chicken, beet bruschetta, and summer squash with Santa Rosa plums, Tropea onions, and basil. Find a seat at the bar and enjoy oysters and snacks like chicken liver mousse. Pick up a copy of Hammel’s new cookbook on your way out. Lula won a 2024 James Beard Award for Outstanding Hospitality." - Ashok Selvam
