Summary: The SceneCafe Selmarie sits by a quiet brick courtyard in the heart of Lincoln Square. Bring a book or a friend, stroll past the tempting dessert counter and settle in at a table in the sunny back room, where local artists' work adorns the bright yellow and blue walls. Service is neighborhood-friendly and unpretentious. There are refills aplenty.The FoodSunday brunch gets packed with locals who line up for omelets, multi-grain pancakes and fancier fare like creamy, rich mushroom-cornbread pudding. There are a dozen coffee drinks (the house blend is excellent) and teas by the pot. In the evening, Selmarie offers a quiche, pizza, and meat or seafood dish du jour. Tasty, simple dinner favorites include a petite-but-hearty chicken pot pie and penne pasta with light, fresh tomato basil sauce. Don't miss the pastries and desserts at the front counter (all sweets are made in-house), from sinful raspberry chocolate tarts to rich banana and whipped cream eclairs.

Three word for those who haven't been there: "Tiramisu" "...

Three word for those who haven’t been there: “Tiramisu” “Tiramisu” “Tiramisu”. It has one of the most delicious and tasty Tiramisu I ever had and it’s so baaad for your health but it’s soooo good at the same time. It is one of the gem in the city.

THE 'Go-To' Restaurant in Lincoln Square

This place remains the most consistent & reasonable restaurant in the neighborhood. Whether you prefer simple foods or more complex tastes, Cafe Salmare sets the standard for consistency. Their baked goods are excellent & are beloved by my fami...

I kept giving it a try, but no luck
