Pizze, Pastries and Pane. Can you really go wrong?…read more Started myself off with a few of their samples that they leave astray for addicts like me. You can smell the bread and pizza from roughly 100 meters away. A guy like me can cover that in the 11 second range once the vermicelli noodles of hair in my nostrils catch the right sniff. Impressive? Idk. But I bet I look the part when I'm cycling my feet in continuity with my arms pumping in synchrony. Covering the X and Y Axis at the perfect rates as to not extend my stride too long or bring my knees to high. I'm a peddler. A popper. The Pepper Shaker. But anyways - everything was pretty solid. Pizza was solid. Not going crazy for it but if you need a little pick me up on your Park Ridge stroll you'll be pretty content having a low 7s slice and supporting local business.

The business is on the corner of an industrial area in Englewood, away from the downtown noise and traffic. There's free parking on the left side of the street. The store itself is small, but offers a lot of goodies. It doubles as a bakery and mini market. There isn't any indoor seating - they only have a small bench outside. Everything (and I mean everything) is plant-based and vegan. Their kitchen is also certified kosher. They have all of your favorite pastries like donuts, cinnamon rolls, cookies, muffins, brownies, and cupcakes. Many of them are gluten-free. They also have oven-baked sandwiches, fresh fruit smoothies, and hot drinks (espresso, tea, hot chocolate, etc.). The mini market has a variety of vegan snacks and products like cheese, "meat" slices, chocolate, candles, nuts, chips, supplements, and dog treats. I was overwhelmed by all of the options, but the employee was very patient, welcoming, and answered all of my questions. I ended up trying the... *#4 Sandwich with sausage, hash brown, egg, and cheddar on a pretzel bun ($13) *#5 Sandwich with chikkin cutlet, cheddar, BBQ aioli, pickles, and onion crisps on a pretzel bun ($14) *Salted Chocolate Chip Cookie (~$6) Based on taste alone, I never would have guessed any of these were vegan. They tasted almost identical to their dairy and meat counterparts. The cookie was the star of the show! It was a nice balance of sweet, buttery, and salty. The texture was soft and chewy. The chocolate chips had a rich flavor and melted in my mouth. As for the sandwiches... they were so small for the price. Bigger than a slider, but smaller than a standard burger. The #4 was nothing special. It was dry and bland. The McMuffin from McDonald's is a hundred times tastier. The #5 was the better one out of the two. This was a good choice for a savory sandwich. The vegan cutlet was tender and similar in taste and texture to actual chicken. The onion crisps, pickles, and BBQ aioli sauce elevated the overall flavor. I would definitely come back to try more pastries, but I would skip the sandwiches. I don't think they're worth the price for such a small size. Vegan or not, I'm sure you won't regret giving this spot a shot!

Breakfast is served until 11:30 and they have a a few egg dishes, breakfast sandwiches and French toast. We enjoyed a leisurely breakfast and liked the egg, potatoes (mixture of white and sweet, which was nice), and toast except the toast was hard pieces of baguette ($10). The omelette with potatoes was a pretty plate and good even though the cheese was initially forgotten. They also have sandwiches, salads, burgers and pizza on the menu, the latter of which is made in a brick oven. The pastries didn't look that fresh or enticing but we didn't order any so can't comment on the quality. There's indoor and outdoor seating and service was very nice. They have a shared parking lot with other businesses and more parking out back. Very close to Hungry hollow food coop so make a stop there if you have time!

Our attentive waiter kept checking on us too see if we needed anything else. It's a small and cozy eatery, with artful decorations and antique looking yet comfortable furniture. When I first visited this spot two years ago, I took photos of their interior to send to a friend in Canada, who was preparing to open a small restaurant. She was very much inspired!
