"While not as overcrowded as the West Loop, Logan Square has gotten a lot of popular restaurants over the past few years. But before them all, there was Lula Cafe. It opened in 1999 and had a farm-to-table menu before that was even a thing. You can get everything from a smoked trout scramble to broccoli salad to dishes like tagine with freshly baked bread. The feel here is very “urban garden-meets-cafe,” and it’s the perfect spot to take anyone for breakfast, lunch, or dinner who you don’t want knowing you do most of your shopping at 7/11." - adrian kane
