Our Top Pick
Oromo Cafe (Lincoln Square)
Bagel sandwiches built around distinctive spreads and health-leaning combinations.

Notable Picks

$$ Lincoln Square Bagels
A Lincoln Square cafe where bagels are treated like a composed breakfast—distinct spreads, clean builds, and a menu that leans nutrient-dense without feeling austere. The move is a signature bagel sandwich plus one of their house-driven coffee drinks, then take advantage of the patio when it’s open.
Must-Try Dishes: Strawberry cashew cream bagel, Green Power bagel sandwich, Goat cheese + cucumber + avocado bagel sandwich
What Makes it Special: Bagel sandwiches built around distinctive spreads and health-leaning combinations.
Lincoln Square Coffee & Tea
A vegan café built for repeat visits: coffee drinks, savory breakfast/lunch plates, and sweets in a bright, mural-forward room. It’s strongest when you treat it like a tight order—one hot item, one pastry, one drink—so you can dial in favorites fast.
Must-Try Dishes: Mushroom taco, Molletes, Mazapán latte
What Makes it Special: A vegan coffee-and-savory café that feels designed for everyday rotation.
$$ Lincoln Square Thai
A newer Ravenswood-area Thai dining room that leans modern and diet-friendly (strong vegetarian/vegan coverage) without losing the core curry-and-noodle comfort. It’s best when you anchor the table with one curry and one stir-fry rice/noodle, then stop before the order gets too broad. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Must-Try Dishes: Thai basil fried rice, Pad see ew, Crab meat curry with wild betel leaves
What Makes it Special: Modern Thai with strong vegan/veg options and bold curries.

Worthy Picks

A fast-casual Mediterranean counter built for efficient, filling plates—falafel and shawarma styles that land best when you keep the order simple and fresh-forward. It’s a practical neighborhood option for quick lunches and takeout nights, especially if you anchor with one combo plate and a clean dip side.
Must-Try Dishes: Falafel wrap, Chicken shawarma plate, Grape leaves with hummus
What Makes it Special: A reliable grab-and-go Mediterranean stop with solid falafel and plate combos.
