Amazing local bakery serving Mexican and French pastries, bread, and sandwiches. During the pandemic it's great for takeaway. Go early since things sell out quickly! One of our favorites is the guava pastry.

This hidden-gem has meats that are smoked in-house and a seasonal menu. The patio outside is charming. Vegetarians might struggle to find as many options as meat-eaters, but it's also a good place to sit with a local brew on a nice evening.

Okay so this isn't Logan Square, but it's an awesome wine-cheese shop in Ukrainian Village, and also a good place for some dinner. We love to get a few takeaway items like the meat & cheese boards and bike over to Humboldt Park for a picnic. (There are a few convenient Divvy stations nearby both!)
** Sometimes they do virtual cheeseboard building classes, so check out their website for dates/times/tickets!

Honestly, we think deep dish pizza is good to try once in your life, but it's not necessarily our jam. Should you try it, we like Giordano's the best. There are lots of strong opinions about where to get your Chicago pie - Gino's East and Lou Malnati's are other good options.
