Quills Coffee
930 Baxter AveSome of the best coffee in town! Can get a little crowded though.
The staff here is SO FRIENDLY and the coffee is amazing! It's usually pretty quiet in the cafe. If you get there early, pop in next door at Nord's Bakery for a famous Bacon Maple Donut!

Instead of cake at our wedding, we ordered 50 dozen Nord's donuts, and now our wedding reception is the stuff of legends. My favs are the french twist and the bacon maple. But get there before 11am or they'll be sold out!!
Stop by Sunergos Coffee next door for a life-changing latte.

Best deep-dish this side of the Ohio River. All their pizza is great, but the special deep-dish is amazing. Be ready for a longer dinner, though -- the deep-dish takes about 40 minutes to bake.

We would be remiss if we didn't make a recommendation for the best Ethiopian restaurant in town -- and yes, there is more than one! This is one of our favorites spots to get really authentic Ethiopian food. The Doro Wat is always a good starting place if you're new to the cuisine.
