Tiny Cafe Tola offers big personality in Lakeview

We like our staples like quality chain grocers and Starbucks on the North Side.  But some would argue most of the Lakeviews and Lincoln Parks have lost much of any grit or soul that makes city life fun.  Well, Lakeview still has the Metro and a handful of truly interesting storefronts if you look closely.

Change your routine and stop by Cafe Tola, 3621 N Southport in Southport Cooridor, for their daily specials, empanada and donuts.
