These days, for what isn’t there a holiday? Naturally, our favorite holidays celebrate food. As if you need a reason to enjoy brunch on a June Sunday in Chicago, National Egg Day is here to give you one. Here is a list of our favorite brunch spots that know how to fry up, poach, and scramble things right…
Late Bloomer {1538 North Clybourn Avenue, Chicago; 312.801.5955}
If you have been to Lincoln Park’s neighborhood spot Late Bloomer for lunch or dinner, but not yet brunch, this weekend is the time. Whether it be their Classic Brunch menu item with eggs any style, an omelette, or a breakfast sandwich, Late Bloomer consistently delivers. Plus, the place has a great vibe in the late morning. And cocktails.

This weekend (or any weekend), it is a good thing Chicago has more than one Beatrix. If you are downtown in the Streeterville area, River North, or further west toward Fulton Market, this is a Lettuce Entertain You restaurant to check out. Beatrix is energetic and well-rounded: full with a coffee program, fresh-squeezed juices, and a bakery bar to enjoy side by side with your eggs.

Hash House A Go Go {1212 North State Parkway, Chicago; 312.202.0994}
At Hash House A Go Go, hashes are kind of their thing. They have been cooking eggs in cities all over the country for over a decade, so we trust them. Even if you decide against eggs, Hash House A Go Go has a menu for all types of brunchers, and they are famous for generous portions.

Cupitol Coffee & Eatery {455 East Illinois Street, Chicago; 312.414.1400}
Cupitol is so cool—lounge ambiance, fresh ingredients, European style-counter service. If you find yourself downtown for a casual and satisfying start to your National Egg Day, keep Cupitol on your radar.

Yolk prides itself on being an exceptional experience, and let’s face it: its brand is inspired by eggs, so you can’t not go. With over five locations in Chicago, it would be hard to come up with an excuse. If your Sunday starts a bit late, we never said that the egg couldn’t be on a burger…

Stax Cafe {1401 West Taylor Street, Chicago; 312.733.9871}
How many ways are there to cook an egg? Stax Cafe reminds us that there is a wide variety. Brunches are important in University Village, where Stax likes to call home. This is a classic spot with egg dishes in all forms: cooked to order, benedicts, omelettes, frittatas, and—prepared in a way we certainly do not want to forget—mini egg tacos.
