The best breakfast & brunch in Lincoln Square

Solid State Coffee currently ranks first with a Sweet Score of 86, built on 755 ratings. The list re-sorts itself as ratings move, so first place is not permanent.

We track 16. 6 of them have earned a Sweet Score, which means they rated above the median for their county and category. The rest are listed with their address, hours and what people order — just without a number.

The commonest price band on this list is $ — under $15 — covering 50% of the places we track here.

By the Sweet Score, a 4–96 rating built from where a place ranks against others in its own county and its own category. 50 is the median, 78 is the top quarter, 90 is the top 10%. A place below the median is still listed — it just doesn't carry a number, because we only publish a score when it's good news.
