Now in its third year, Will Von Hartz�s winter hideaway, Flipside Caf� (in the space that houses Miko�s Italian Ice in summer), still keeps the focus on doing a few things, and doing them right: coffee brewed by hand, bread baked on site, traditional soups (tomato, roasted garlic) made from scratch. This year, Alfredo Nogueira joined Von Hartz as Flipside�s chef, and though grilled cheese and soup remain the tiny shop�s signatures, Nogueira�s added renegade items like chicken potpies and a kale burger. His biggest achievement, though, might be the addition of a modest, three-item brunch menu, served on Saturdays and Sundays: a savory dish (usually a hash), one of the best French toasts in town and this deceptively simple biscuit breakfast sandwich. Not to end on a sad note, but it�s only fair to warn you: There are only ten seats and only five weeks left to claim one, because come April, the space morphs back into Miko�s Italian Ice. 1846 N Damen Ave (773-645-9664).
