The 3rd Coast Cafe
"Breakfast anytime" are my favorite words when looking for a place to write about. My friend, restaurateur Dan Rosenthal, with whom I worked to make Chicago restaurants smoke-free, joined me. He said he loves this neighborhood spot — which proudly says it's the oldest cafe in the Gold Coast — for dinner too.
On entering the cafe, which is a few steps down from street level, giving it a cozy feel, I was drawn to the counter with its freshly baked scones — a signature item. We ordered some, of course, and also shared a Chicago-style smoked Polish sausage, cut and grilled. It was a nice change from other sausages and came with eggs, toast, some spicy mustard and hash browns.
The Texas French toast can be either thick-cut sourdough or cinnamon raisin sprinkled with powdered sugar. I chose the latter. A great option was the Old Smokehouse bacon, which is ordered by the "stick." "I'll have three please." And the scones? 3rd Coast deserves to be very proud of them.
No wonder it's been around so long.

How about something completely different from the divisiveness of politics?
We offer a short break now to remind ourselves what’s possible, that people CAN come together for a common cause.
This is a story about the importance of water in our lives, public swimming pools open to all, and the ripple effect a small Illinois town can have on the rest of the world.
WGN’s Steve Sanders picks up the story from there.

A little bit about the artist…
I was born in France and raised in West Africa, Abidjan.
I came to the United States in 1987, with a sense of opportunity to discover my potential. It is through painting that this has begun to manifest.
Having experienced the powerful influence of both world French and African, it is here in this land that I am able to have clarity of their connection. Both cultures have united in me in a unique experience which fuels and challenge my creativity.
I am self taught and started painting in 2004, at home. By 2006 I was painting professionally, following the Art Festivals Circuit along the West Coast and loving the enrichment provided by each encounter.
I am moved by the desire to create texture and luminescence in my paintings and thrive to reach a visual expression of the energies at play in nature, feeling 'Blisstin' by the Prism.
I describe my style as Contemporary Expressionism.
Blessings to all

Back with a new series, artist Josh Moulton decks the walls of 3rd Coast with a vibrant collection. Paintings include both local sights from around the Windy City to rural scenes found beyond the city limits. Moulton's work typically maintains themes of architectural cityscapes, people interacting in their environments, or natural still-lifes. All paintings displayed in the cafe are available for purchase, and his gallery can be found in Lincoln Park.

I aim to express form through organic fluidity and vibrant colors of my paintings.
My work explores both the drama and pleasures of life. I blend vivid colors and vibrancy to convey experiences that make up the fabrics of my life. The goal of my art is to express myself by creating a fantastical world from the ordinary life.
Many of you have been asking about my research trip to ISLA DEL COCO- Cocos Island,Costa Rica. The data collected from tagging and tracking the sharks of Cocos Island, is aimed at ensuring protections from illegal fishing. We hope to create international cooperative swimways, for these and all marine creatures! I hope you enjoy my short video and find out how you can help save our Oceans! Janet

Our coffee is a unique blend you will only find at 3rd coast. Partnering with Columbia Street Roastery, It wasn't enough to just provide a premium cup of coffee for our customers, we wanted to know who our coffee farmers were. Coffee takes on the flavors of the farm and personality of the farmer. To know your coffee you must know your farmer. But this works both ways - when a farmer knows you they put extra effort and pride into all that they do. And this is the power of intentional trade - your coffee was grown, picked, pulped, processed, shipped and roasted - just for you.
Being a small business we consciously picked a blend of coffee from small family farmers in Africa, more specifically the countries of Burundi and Uganda near where I grew up. My father was on a flying doctors team that covered all of East Africa. Coffee is their main cash crop and the money earned from growing coffee pays for their children's school dues/supplies each year among other items they need.
We are proud to serve our 3rd Coast Blend knowing our customers are getting a fantastic tasting cup of coffee and at the same time be able to support fellow small business/farmers with our purchases.
Every day before dinnertime, we turn off the wifi at 3rd Coast Café. In a society where being connected to people and ideas thousands of miles away is easier than ever, why would we limit your connectivity in our café?
Because we want to make sure that dinner time is a time to be present, Wether it's with a first date, an old friend, or your favorite book. We encourage you to take the time to turn off the computer, just for a bit. The world wide web will wait an hour while you enjoy a drink, a meal, a friend and a moment of presence.
The music played at the Coast matches the warm comfort of the space and staff, molding with the day to day moments and varied clientele. From the melancholy moanings of The National and Bon Iver to suit the introverted artists, then to the emotive upbeat swinging brass of Miles and Coltrane for the dinner patrons and on to the electronic rhythmic pulse of the Field and Caribou for the night crowd is how a typical day of music at the Coast sounds like.
