Chicago | A Hidden Gem Brunch Café on Campus 🍳☕️
✨ Restaurant Vibe Located right next to the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business, this café has an amazing atmosphere. Many professors and students come here to leisurely enjoy a meal. The minimalist decor paired with warm lighting makes it perfect for hanging out with classmates or friends. 🎓💬 🍽️ What I’ve Tried (Updating constantly!) Breakfast 1️⃣ Plein Omelet ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The omelet is super tender and fluffy, filled with fresh mushrooms, spinach 🥬, and tomatoes 🍅. The Gruyère cheese 🧀 adds a rich depth of flavor, and it comes with crispy home fries 🍟. So satisfying! 2️⃣ Quiche of the Day ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A daily special savory quiche 🥧! The crust is flaky, and the filling is creamy and flavorful—bacon 🥓 and mushroom. Highly recommended! 3️⃣ Greek Yogurt ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The yogurt 🥣 is thick and creamy, served with homemade granola and fresh fruits 🫐🍓. A healthy and delicious option for breakfast or a light meal. Salads, Sandwiches & Baguettes 1️⃣ Smoked Turkey Sandwich ⭐️⭐️⭐️ The smoked turkey 🪵 has a strong, smoky flavor, paired with soft bread 🍞 and fresh veggies. Light and refreshing, with a perfect portion size! Tartines & Plein Bowls 1️⃣ Plein Grain Bowl ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A quinoa-based bowl 🥣 with roasted veggies, arugula 🥬, spinach sauce, and pumpkin seeds. Packed with nutrients and flavor—every bite is a delight! 2️⃣ Roasted Root Vegetables Tartine ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An open-faced sandwich 🥪 with sourdough bread 🥖 (crispy outside, soft inside) topped with roasted veggies, avocado 🥑, and spinach sauce. Healthy and layered with flavor! Coffee ☕️ Americano ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rich coffee aroma with a hint of nuttiness 🌰. Highly recommended! ☕️ Macchiato ⭐️⭐️ A bit too acidic for my taste, but if you like tangy coffee, give it a try. ☕️ Specials ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Their daily specials are always a pleasant surprise! 💡 Tips Make sure to try their daily specials—they’re always full of surprises! It gets busy during peak hours, so try to visit off-peak to avoid waiting. 💰 Price : Around $15 📍 Plein Air Cafe #Brunch #Chicago #UniversityOfChicago #HiddenGemRestaurant #Foodie #LifeInChicago
