Bacon & Muenster Cheese Omellich from Cold Comfort

Item Purchased: Bacon & Muenster Cheese Omellich from Cold Comfort
Location Purchased: Cold Comfort / 2211 W. North Ave. / Chicago, IL
Price: $4.50 + tax

Review: An omelette on a sandwich. An omellich! That's what the fine folks at this homey, laid back cafe and deli call it. Big deal, I've had an omelette in between two slices of bread before. The golden touch is the Ciabatta bread they serve it on.

Cold Comfort is a smaller cafe slightly off the beaten path of Wicker Park (just down the street from Sultan's Market, actually). I hear it gets a bit busy during breakfast, but breakfast is served all day so that all depends on when you roll out of bed. Unlike most cafes and delis laid out in a similar style, Cold Comfort's employees come out from behind the deli case and take your order just like in a honest to goodness restaurant. If you like what you had to eat, you'll have to belly up to the glass case in order to take some home though. Prices are extremely reasonable and portions are a healthy size. I actually felt full after finishing my sandwich. I rarely feel full on breakfast food.

The omelettes that Cold Comfort makes for their sandwiches are a bit slimmer than most omelettes you get elsewhere, but expertly prepared. Even the bacon wasn't as crispy as I usually like it, but worked well with the muenster cheese and large ciabatta loaf. Cold Comfort has made it onto my short list for breakfast spots in Wicker Park.
