Waffles Cafe- Streeterville, Chicago

Waffles Cafe has long called itself the "Home of the Wonut"—ever since its breakfast chefs invented the addictive waffle-donut hybrid. With their Ohio Street location in River North, the sweetly dimpled creations have a home of their own. Customers indulge themselves with fresh-baked wonuts that were described by Thrillist as simply "glorious," wonuts come in a dozen regular varieties that range from blueberry to peppered-bacon to a simple maple-glazed vegan version. You can make a complete (if decadent) breakfast with the addition of coffee and espresso drinks.
