Bongo Room

Came in for French toast and it was delicious. I don't like French toast that's super custardy in the middle, so this was great. My friend got the chocolate tower from the brunch menu and I ordered the summer strawberry. We each loved them. They also had a nice selection of teas including 4 caffeine free options. The interior was eclectic and fun. Service was good and very attentive.

Decided to try Bongo Room for breakfast on long weekend trip to Chicago. Right away we loved the atmosphere. They were very welcoming right from the start. They have a great and unique menu. We had the Mango Pancakes (which was the special) and the Italian Breakfast Sandwich. Both were perfect! The bread on the sandwich was so good I wanted more to eat by itself. The Mango Pancakes had a whipped lemon cream with it that was heavenly. Their drink menu looked amazing and will definitely try it next time. Can’t wait to visit them again.

Outstanding! We were in town for two days and both days, we had breakfast here. Tow of us split everything on each day: the lemon blackberry pancakes with vanilla cream sauce, a chorizo, potato, and avocado omelette, strawberry rhubarb French toast with almost the same vanilla cream sauce, but with citrus and less vanilla, and the morning sandwich. And they know how to do tea! Good, loose leaf English breakfast in a 12-16 oz pot with its own strainer, and enough milk to last the full pot. All the staff were friendly and attentive, cool art on the walls, and it’s in a great area of town! What more would you want?

One of my roommates and I came here for the Labor Day weekend brunch 😉! It was a bit of a wait (30 min+), but totally understandable. They only take walk-ins to begin with, so it’s okay if you come here without reservations! It seemed like they renovated the place — I’ve noticed a brighter ambience! We shared sweet & savory dishes (pancakes and omelettes) and our vote goes to the beef omelette!! 🥞&🍳 Our strawberry hot cakes were good too, but the omelette was more flavorful in my opinion. We will definitely be returning for different brunch options!

A great spot to go to fro Breakfast/lunch, will have to return to try out brunch! Service was good & so was the food. Had red velvet pancakes, a breakfast burrito & Caesar salad. The salad was banging! Nice n fulfillin! The red velvet pancakes were good but seemed to go dry after a few mins, needed more sauce. So glad they were open for breakfast on a Monday.
