Kopi, a Traveler’s Cafe
Kopi wafts an Asian trekker-lodge vibe, from the pile of pillows to sit on by the front window to the bean-sprouty sandwiches, lefty clientele and flyer-filled community bulletin board. The little shop in back sells travel books and fair-trade global gifts. Wine goes down the hatch for half price on Wednesdays.

Cass Cafe
The Cass is a bohemian art gallery fused with a bar and restaurant serving soups, sandwiches and veggie beauties, like the lentil-walnut burger. Service can be fickle.

Cafe Jumping Bean
This ramshackle cafe will make you feel like a regular as soon as you step through the door. It serves excellent hot focaccia sandwiches, baked goods and strong coffee to the 20- and 30-something crowd of MFA-wielding local bohemians. Chess and domino games are always breaking out here, and the comfy confines make it an excellent spot for whiling away a couple of hours with a mocha, soaking up Pilsen’s colorful surroundings.

Café Barbette
Intimate, Parisian-style Barbette welcomes with low booths and art-filled walls. It's good for wine, cheese and appetizers with friends, or for a romantic dinner with a date, but whatever you do, don't miss the warm chocolate cake.

Lucky's Café
Lucky's grows its own produce and herbs in its adjacent garden, then uses the goods in its soups and wrap sandwiches. Weekend brunch with gingerbread waffles and cheddar scallion scones wins big flavor points.

Cozy Dog Drive In
All must stop to hail the corn dog’s birthplace at the Cozy Dog Drive In. It’s a Route 66 legend, with memorabilia and souvenirs in addition to the deeply fried main course.
