For breakfast-loving bohemians

<b>Bang Bang Pie Shop</b>
<i>2051 N. California Ave. 773-276-8888</i>
<b>The scene:</b> The side courtyard at this Logan Square pie and biscuit shop feels more like a neighbor's backyard than a restaurant patio. Half a dozen red picnic tables are spread out across an ample lawn, and strings of globe lights add to the summer cookout atmosphere. It's the sort of cozy space where you feel at home tearing open super moist, warm-from-the-oven biscuits and lavishing black pepper-honey butter upon them with abandon.<br>
<b>The crowd:</b> Weekend morning regulars likely are pushing a fixed-gear bike, a stroller, or one of each. For every beard or sailor tattoo, there's a kid or two running around, making for a convivial, hodgepodge clientele that is clearly united only by a love of flaky crusts, house-roasted coffee and morning indulgence. <i>--Kate Bernot</i>
