Located in Lincoln Park - Willow Room is one of our favorite restaurants which also holds a special place in our hearts as this is where we celebrated our engagement with family & friends!
Kelsey & Matt's top donut spot in the city (Matt's fav is the Chocolate, Kelsey's fav is the vegan Spiced Maple Chai). They also have a really good breakfast sandwich which brought them both back to life the morning after their engagement celebration.

Another great coffee spot ~4 min walk from The Gwen hotel.
