Electric Mud

Logan Square · Aug 5

I feel like electric mud is my home cafe. No matter what I try, I always end up back here. There’s just nothing better than a fat mud decaf and a do rite (and perhaps a little taco as a bonus…….)

Tart and flakey, warmed in the oven, eaten in a stiff breeze next to the Umbria roasters. A little biting and deeply enjoyable. Yes. Yes.

Daisies

An oatmeal cream pie for me and Eli, and a ham and cheese croissant for the kids. The oatmeal cream pies at daisies are second maybe only to loaf lounge… but these once’s are also somehow VEGAN??? Extremely odd. Extremely delicious.

Electric Mud

Logan Square · Mar 5

Oh, mud. I love you so dearly. I spent my first pregnancy waddling here every day because it was the only way my husband could convince me to get some walking in when the third trimester struck me down. Today we got some tacos, a latte for me, a drip for Eli, and a babyccino for Casey. Casey refused even one bite of his taco, Matilda took one bite of hers and threw it on the ground, so Eli and I ate the remains
