“These slices of Chicago reflect humor and sweetness, but also insight and from time to time unvarnished grace.” — Chicago Reader

What was breakfast? It’s a simple but intimate question. Photographer Alan Epstein’s popular and prolific Instagram series (instagram.com/whatwasbreakfast) is coming to the walls of Build Coffee for the second installment of our Meal-Based Residency Program.

Join us on Sunday, April 14, to celebrate Alan’s opening and the start of his residency at Build! We’ll have a special one-day menu of bagels with all the fixins, including smoked fish and (vegan!) carrot lox.
