The Soup Box
With those fall chills already breezing through the city, what sounds better than a nice, hot bowl of soup when you’re in the windy city. At the soup box, not only do they have that but they have twelve different soups daily! Rated Best Soup in Chicago, Best Comfort Food in Chicago, and Best Fast Food in Chicago, the Soup Box is definitely a local favorite around the city. When you first walk in, a counter lined with black cast iron cauldrons filled with soups that are bubbling and ready for serving. With over sixty-four different kinds of soup, they’re sure to please all palates. These delicious soups are made fresh, from scratch, every morning to ensure that warm rich flavor. Their Lobster Bisque is among their top sellers along with the recently added Roasted Butternut Squash and New England clam chowder. Both vegan and vegetarian soups are also available. Not in a soup mood? The Soup Box also makes some amazing gourmet salads that are made right in front of you with fresh ingredients. If the cold fall weather is keeping you indoors, The Soup Box also delivers. The friendly staff is always happy to scoop up a sample so you can at least narrow down your choices, although, don’t be surprised if you leave with an extra cup for later.

Bombon Americano
Like something you would see straight out of the movies, Bombon Americano café and bakery defines that cute, cozy café around the corner. After relocating from the Pilsen neighborhood, Bombon Americano changed its image of traditional Mexican desserts to American desserts with Mexican undertones. Its picturesque corner location in Chicago’s Gold Coast makes it a popular attraction for locals, yet it never seems to be crowded. The warm-hearted staff is happy to help you choose any of their signature desserts and dishes. Once you walk in, you’ll be charmed by the eclectic Mexican décor and brightly painted tables and chairs. The pastry case is full of sweet treats such as blueberry tartlets, vanilla cupcakes and mini frosted cakes that are sure to sway you to buy one. Illy coffee and espresso drinks are also offered as well as gourmet salads and sandwiches with delectable ingredients like avocados, fresh raspberries and goat cheese. All entrees are served in unique basket trays brought right to your table. If you have a hard time spotting Bombon, look for their elaborate wedding cake display in the window. Custom cakes are also available as well as local delivery. Bombon Americano’s one-of-a-kind style sets it apart from all other cafes and bakeries in the area and will transform any Chicago visitor into a local.
