Chicago
may be the (Midwestern) city of music and culture, but the city of Mozart it is
not. Thanks to Julius Meinl, you can pretend
it is. This new kid on the block has actually produced Vienna's bestselling coffee
since 1862. Lucky us, it chose Chicago
as its first and only American establishment. Far from Americanized, the shop's
decades-old pastry recipes, daily imported
beans, and customized furniture help it retain an Austrian atmosphere. Start your
day right with a traditional Austrian
breakfast of soft poached egg, sliced ham and cheese and your choice of toast.
The foreign offerings don't stop there,
with European cheese selections, Vienna-style sausage sandwiches, and a pear-hazelnut
salad. Don't miss the Mohr
Im Hemd, a hot molten chocolate cake that will have you coming back for Mohr.
