Nestled in Lincoln Park, this charming farm-to-table café offers a cozy vibe with seasonal American dishes, craft brews, and a delightful selection of pantry items.
"Blue Door used to be a small grab-and-go operation, but has since moved to a larger sit-down space down the street. Lots of plants and little watering cans make the interior feel like a farmhouse, which fits with the Midwestern food. You’ll find stuff like fried chicken sliders (with excellent pimento cheese), cheese curds, and seasonal vegetable dishes. If you’re in the mood for American comfort food, this is the spot." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
"Tomato soup can often be seen as “kid’s food”, especially when it’s accompanied by its best friend, grilled cheese. But this power couple deserves respect, and Blue Door Farm Stand in Lincoln Park recognizes this fact. Every order of the cheddar and swiss sandwich comes fully equipped with a cup of their creamy tomato basil soup. It’s perfect for dunking, but it’s also rich enough to fly solo—feel free to upgrade from a cup to a bowl for a standalone dish." - josh barnett, john ringor
"Blue Door used to be a small grab and go operation, but has since moved to a larger sit-down space in Lincoln Park. The food here is farm to table, and the menu definitely has a Midwestern feel to it. You’ll find artichoke dip, fried cheese curds, and potato dumplings, but they also have fantastic salads if you want to eat a little lighter. Lots of plants and little watering cans make the interior feel like a farmhouse, with a large skylight brightening up the space." - Adrian Kane
"This Lincoln Park spot has a Midwestern farmhouse theme, and fittingly, the interior is decorated with plants and little watering cans. The menu has nutritious-sounding things like roasted chicken, salmon, and a very good brussels sprout and kale salad. Basically everything will remind you that Chicago is pretty close to actual farms. But there are also fried cheese curds, because these are Midwestern farms we’re talking about." - adrian kane
"Blue Door really wants you to know you’re eating in the Midwest. Lots of plants and little watering cans make the interior feel like a farmhouse, which fits with the menu of things like cheese curds, roasted chicken, and fresh-baked cookies. If you’re in the mood for a casual and affordable comfort food meal, come here. You won’t even have to churn your own butter to save money." - josh barnett, adrian kane
