Very good breakfast with friendly staff & super crowded vibes however still very chilling feel. I enjoy the sunshine, sitting against the glass window with very nice few of the street park. It's totally gives me the Sunday vibe during dining. The 2 eggs style plate is very good, along with the dry grapes and sweet jelly & freshly made coffee. Can't complain any of the details but hey, enjoy!
One of the most popular and busy brunch places in the River North area it seems. Even on a weekday the restaurant was packed. The food here was excellent and highly recommend for brunch if you are able to get a seat.
Food
I got one of the sandwiches with hash browns in the side and it was very good. The bread was perfectly toasted and had those stripes showing that it was toasted. The bacon was a nice thickness and was not dry. Eggs were cooked perfectly. The meat in the sandwich was delicious as well.
Atmosphere
There are many many tables to seat everyone but still so busy. Nothing too fancy about the inside and plenty of light coming in from the windows. The noise can be pretty loud from all the people inside. Very casual inside.
Pricing
Prices were average for brunch surprisingly and the food was worth it.
Service
Service was okay and the staff was nice. Despite how busy they were we still got checked on.

We stumbled upon this place for breakfast on our first day in Chicago and we are so glad we did! Make sure to come hungry! The food is sensational. I had the mixed berry pancakes which were so tasty and so fresh! I love that they had the option for gluten-free, so I felt full and fantastic all day long. The coffee was absolutely fantastic. Not like your normal diner/restaurant coffee. This was artisan barista level work. Delish!
Went multiple times in only few days.
Perfect place for breakfast. The range of choice is wide and the quality is very good.
Great service and staff super available and friendly.
Hint: go early in the morning, by 10 the restaurant will be packed and u might ask to wait 1 hour to sit.
Still is very worthy...😋🤤
BEST BREAKFAST IN CHICAGO!
There are a lot of menu options. Don’t skip getting some pancakes even as a side. One of the few restaurants that serve poached eggs that are not served swimming in water. The quality of the food was excellent. I went twice during my short stay. Service is excellent! Highly recommend!
Great location right off MAG. Waited to be seated just a short time. Friendly and fast service! Delicious food. Espanola omelette and the Barbacoa Chilaquiles skillet were two thumbs up. But definitely spicy! Of course, the pancakes! Kids meal - one egg meal was generous!
This place is pretty good! Pancakes are the best dish here. We order the two eggs any style and they were really basic, we don’t recommend them. Definitely try the strawberry pancakes, they’re really fluffy and tasty.
We also had hazelnut coffe, honey nut latte and lavender matcha and we loved them!!
Like the name says, they do great pancakes and great coffee! The service is fast and efficient, a great place to go if you want to get your day started quickly and get on with touring.
They have a great selection of foods and everything was delicious. The prices are a little steep (~$20 per plate, $5/coffee) and there is a 3% service charge on food (common in Chicago) + a 20% included gratuity + the suggestion of a 3-7% additional tip... So the bill adds up fast.
Great food though!
I visited this place for weekend lunch and had to wait about 30 minutes before being seated. Despite being busy, the servers were attentive and kind. This restaurant is a great spot to enjoy pancakes, skillets, and coffee. The ingredients were fresh and well-prepared. However, the portions were generous; some might find it challenging to finish a dish on their own, so consider ordering accordingly. Thank you for a delightful meal :)
My order- Banana pecan waffles, garden skillet, wild berry and orange fresh juice, iced latte..
Extremely busy, waited 40 mins to be seated when estimated wait time was 20-30 mins. Large portions. Good coffee. I would suggest going earlier than you intend to. I visited this place because of its popularity. Hats off to servers who are able to handle guests so well! Over all a good experience, I would recommend!
A bit overrated though.
