A large space occupying the corner of Jackson and Wisconsin, near the Federal Building, the Pfister and U.S. Bank, 600 East Café (600 E. Wisconsin Ave.) is an attractively rehabbed space. It has wooden floors; exposed brick outer walls; an open-beamed ceiling; and a short list of sandwiches, salads and wraps along with daily specials and a changing contingent of soups. The cheese melt ($6.79) is a classic on toast updated with mozzarella and provolone along with old-school cheddar. Twists on such favorites include a caprese melt ($6.79) with mozzarella, roma tomatoes and basil on a ciabatta roll. Bakery and coffee from various local vendors are served. 600 East Café is open weekdays 6:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eat in or carry out.
