Magpie, one of Rockford鈥檚 recent trendy spots just off State Street, was bustling on the crisp fall Saturday morning when we visited. So many people I know have told me they are huge fans and gave it high recommendations. They use local ingredients, have innovative dishes and make great coffee.

There was a sandwich board outside the entrance that listed several intriguing specials and a chalkboard inside the front door listing options such as sausage strata, strawberry cheesecake bread pudding, gluten-free pancakes and avocado toast. Lunch specials included a cheddar beer burger or local curd burger. One of the featured sweets was an apple layer cake with cream cheese frosting.
