Piccadilly Market will expand into Lincoln Park with a new 5,200-square-foot market, café and outdoor courtyard at 444 W. Fullerton Pkwy., at the corner of Clark Street and Fullerton Parkway. The location, formerly home to Emilio’s Tapas, will become the flagship for the European-style neighborhood market, which opened its original Lincoln Square location in 2025.
The new location will include an 80-person outdoor courtyard called Piccadilly Square, modeled after European public squares and café culture. The space will feature tables beneath overhead string lights, acoustic music and an outdoor bar serving wine, spritzes, beer and cider.
Inside, an upstairs bar and lounge will offer a full coffee program. Floor-to-ceiling doors will open onto a balcony overlooking Fullerton Parkway, with an umbrella-lined ledge providing additional seating above the sidewalk.
The market will feature products and collaborations with several Chicago businesses. Metric Coffee will serve as the primary coffee partner, with select offerings from Backlot Coffee and Hexe Coffee Co. Other participating brands include Pretty Cool Ice Cream, Rare Tea Cellar, Publican Quality Bread, Katherine Anne Confections and Feed Your Head Vegan.
Piccadilly will also stock European grocery imports including Zotter Chocolate and Burt’s Chips, along with a rotating selection of imported snacks, candy and condiments. Pop-ups, tastings and classes featuring artisans, bakers and other purveyors are also planned.
A sommelier-curated wine shop will offer bottles for retail purchase as well as wines that can be consumed at the market. The wine program will include a monthly club and weekly tastings focused on different producers, regions and styles.
Chef Mark Mendez, former chef and owner of West Loop Spanish restaurant and wine bar Vera, will lead the food program for the all-day café. His menu will include housemade English muffins and breakfast sandwiches, hot sandwiches called “Toasties,” cold “Picca-Delis,” housemade focaccia and Roman-style pizza.
Mendez will also oversee a rotating cheese and charcuterie program designed for sharing, with cheeses and meats available for retail purchase in the market.
The bar will have eight draft lines, including three wines on tap — a house red, white and sparkling wine — and five beer and cider selections. Northman Cider and Stiegl will be among the offerings, alongside rotating local and imported selections.
A classic cocktail menu will be joined by a coffee cocktail program developed with Metric Coffee. Canned beer and cider and adult non-alcoholic beverages will also be available. Drinks can be consumed in the bar, lounge, work-from-parlour area or outdoor courtyard.
“Piccadilly Market is essentially the evolution of the corner store from my childhood,” said Aaron Zacharias, owner of Piccadilly Market and the hospitality group behind it. “We’re hoping to bring everything you love together under one roof to create a third space that engages the community in so many new and exciting ways that I could only have dreamed of when I was younger. Connecting artisans to the neighborhood is the ethos of all things Piccadilly. There’s so much talent in the world, and I find the discovery aspect of their creations to be extremely fulfilling. Our goal is to make that a fun experience that can be touched and tasted in a neighborhood setting.”
Zacharias’ other Chicago hospitality projects include The Bar on Buena and The Northman Beer & Cider Garden on the Riverwalk, in addition to the original Piccadilly Market in Lincoln Square.
