Mystery sign revealed

OK, I swear I was numbering these at one point..anyway, I’m still waiting on a answer from a few past mystery posts, but the mystery coffee-cookie-cupcake sign was revealed this week by Vella Cafe co-owner Melissa Yen. The sign points to Sweet Cakes Bakery at 935 N. Damen Avenue. I fell in love with Sweet Cakes when they put a hard-boiled egg smack-dab in the middle of a corn muffin, but I’ve also always been a fan of Vella Cafe, which is quite literally tucked under the blue line Western stop at 1912 N. Western. They do great paninis, brunch items like amaranth pancakes with cinnamon whipped cream and starting mid-November, a menu of pizzas, including an especially intriguing one called the Bacon-egger with fresh tomato sauce, caramelized onions, bacon, fresh mozzarella, Romano and a cracked egg. Look for Yen’s post on where she likes to eat when she’s not cooking at Vella.
