THE LAST CHILLY DAY...

I haven't emailed y'all through this platform in FOREVER. (I prefer my Love Letters account- (https://mailchi.mp/smackdabchicago/join-mailing-list) -are you signed up for freebies, gossip and updates?)

It's the last cool, chilly day before temps begin to climb. I'm excited, but I know I'll be missing the crispness soon enough.

To enjoy the last day of the spring season, here's a little something from me--good for this Sat/Sun only!

(AND YES--WE'RE OPEN MONDAY, MEMORIAL DAY WITH FULL MENU!)

Order pickup to enjoy brunch on the go, get us delivered for breakfast in bed or come in and warm up in our space with a good breakfast and a cocktail (so many of you still don't know we recently got our liquor license!).

Exciting, expansive things are to come this summer... hope to see you soon!

All self-identifying non-binary parents get 50% off their brunch this weekend in honor of Non-Binary Parents Day on Sunday!

Meet Annie (she/her), CJ (they/them) and Jude (TBD). Like many of our regulars, we have the pleasure of seeing them daily—sometimes even twice in a day. 🙃 They’re outstanding humans and keeping them well-fed and caffeinated as they parent outside the binary is why we love doing what we do.

So many of our peeps are parents but don’t identify with Mother’s Day or Father’s Day. This weekend, we want to celebrate you—tell our register person you’d like a Beyond the Binary brunch and your meal is half off.

Spread the word, fam! Xoxo
