It's the simpler places like this that remind me why I love going out to eat in the first place. The Chicago food scene is always evolving with new restaurants opening every week but I think it's spots like this that hold the city's character and they deserve to be celebrated just as much as the new. Not busy at all on a Friday night and we were able to find seating easily. Service is as expected as you order at the front and then pick up your order at the counter when it's done. Carne Asada Burrito: Carne asada, beans, lettuce, onion, avocado - added cheese. There's so much meat in this thing you need a fork just to keep up.

With this size, there is an excellent variety of goodies to buy. I don't just mean across categories, but also within them. For example, there are several vendors selling meats, cheeses, fruits/veggies, hot sauces, and so on. Speaking of variety, it seems that vendors change on occasion - a good reason to get something that I like rather than putting it off, and to come back again and again. This may partially explain why there is no map available. I don't know what happens on the back-end, as the only map I could find was from 2021. As nice as walking around and exploring is, having a guide of some kind would be very helpful. This becomes doubly valuable considering some vendors are selling prepared foods. On that note, some more eating areas would be welcome. The prices are on the high side, as can be expected from a Farmer's Market. That said, $4/pound for albeit organic potatoes seems very high. Thankfully for my wallet, I did not arrive hungry, or I would have thrown dollars to the wind. Final verdict: As far as Farmer's Markets go, Green City Market is great! You can find a wonderful variety, and every week can be a new adventure. Prices are very high, but that is to be expected. While the idea is that you buy something, there is no obligation to. Would return?: Absolutely, leaving room for breakfast or lunch, depending on when I go Would reccomend?: Yes, for the adventure if nothing else. Who knows, you might walk out with a jar of honey you loved after sampling.

While walking around, I kept smelling something really good and basically followed the scent until I found the Baked Cheese Haus booth. Soon as I saw them scraping all that melted cheese over the sandwiches, I already knew I was getting one. I went with the Jambon Cru. Melted raclette scraped over cured ham on toasted baguette with spring onions, baby gherkins, and Dijon. And wow... this thing was a cheesy overload. So much melted cheese, rich, creamy, and warm. The baguette was toasted with that nice crunch, sturdy enough to hold all of it together. Then the gherkins and Dijon came in and cut through all that richness with a little tang and sharpness, which made every bite better. Messy, cheesy, a little ridiculous honestly. The whole market has such a fun vibe too. Busy, lots of people walking around, fresh produce everywhere, live energy all around. The people at the booth were super friendly too. Now I'm seriously about to go to Wisconsin just to find them again.

Offering a quality selection -- one with both flavor and variety (I'm looking at you, tomato bisque ) -- this corner store has earned its spot on the repeat list. I went with the vegan mushroom vegetable and the borscht (omg hi!). Both very good, I'd recommend the mushroom, but wouldn't say no to the borscht a second time -- I'll never say no to a borscht! Borscht can do no wrong. The shop is quaint and calming. Some standouts for me: LARGE selection of dried herbs+, small fresh bakery counter, ready-made home cooked meals or sides, and a meat chest with meat by the pound -- including the "whole animal" bits that pets love. I've been twice now, will be back for more soup-sperimentation! P.S. They are priced like they know their worth though, so just be mentally prepared for that.
