Breakfast Near Wrigley Field?

[bubbles4me]

Four of us heading out from Los Angeles, (3 of the 4 have been before) to eat, drink and take in a Cubs and Bears game and just soak up your super fun city! No fancy joints, (we have plenty of those here and 2 of us are in the wine business and have had a bunch of "fancy" dinners as of late) looking for chill, tasty joints and if they serve booze it is a serious bonus.
I'll take suggestions for anything but one thing I really need is a good breakfast joint near Wrigley to get a good base going before the Cubs Cardinals game.
Thanks in advance!

My favorites in the area are all huddled together in Roscoe Village. It's a little over a mile from Wrigley. May be farther than you want but there are several great places: Orange, Kitsch'n, Victory's Banner.

Ferret,
Kitsch'n looks perfect! Full bar is a big plus for this group, thanks so much.

It's about a half-mile trek from Wrigley, but if you're lacking gemuetlichkeit in LA and are looking for breakfast Viennese style, you'll find it here:

O'Donavans has a good brunch, great bloody mary's, and lots of patio space. On Irving Park around Lincoln Ave.

I would check out Uncommon Ground. They have great breakfast, laid back in there, and they have drinks. It's nice in there, and a different vibe than other spots in Wrigley. Check them out:

I do agree that Uncommon Ground has excellent fare. And much closer to Wrigley.

If you are interested in a 50s style diner, go to Salt & Pepper, less than a block from Wrigley (Beer/Wine avail.). This is a nice diner, not a greasy spoon.If you want interesting and different, go to the original location of Orange (No alcohol/BYO), located about four blocks South of Wrigley. If you want great cinnamon rolls to coat the stomach and Swedish pancakes, head to Ann Sather, about four blocks South of Wrigley.
