Mortar and Pestle
3108 N BroadwayWrigley BBQ
3208 Forest Hill BoulevardThe breakfast here is out of this world. The drip coffee has a slight cinnamon taste to it which pairs perfectly with this subtly mexican influenced menu. I have dreams about the poblano pepper sauce eggs benedict, not to mention their delectable biscuits and refreshing yogurt parfaits. Hot. Damn.

Kanela, oh kanela. Mimosas, mochas, and delectable food, this restaurant might be my favorite brunch place. Their corn beef hash is made in house and perfectly nestled in a bed of roasted potatoes, brussel sprouts, and caramelized onions. I like it with double veggies and sour dough toast. Their veggie benedict and pork benedict are unreal. Every dish I try here is satisfying. If you're headed here on the weekend, go early. It gets crowded starting at 9, although I have never had to wait more than 25/30 minutes for a table anytime after that.
