Nice looking place. Menu is a bit odd with mostly create your own. I like to have creations 🤷‍♀️ portions are HUGE. Neither of us could finish our breakfast. We should have only gotten one.
Food was okay. If it wasn’t for all the cheese in my scrambled platter I don’t think mine would have had much flavor.
Service was good.

Great location with okay food. We stopped by on a Tuesday morning and were seated outside in 10 minutes. Food was great. However,service could be better for sure. Tables are super small and us being 6 people on 2 small tables was a hustle. Price wise was affordable compared to surrounding restaurants.
4 stars but will be back soon so I will update for sure.

Spent 9 nights in Chicago and was advised by the hotel staff, I would get a good breakfast here, this was an unstatement to say the least.
The food was fantastic, the staff were friendly and polite, I would highly recommend this place for anyone who lives nearby or if you are travelling through the city

We absolutely LOVED our breakfast ! First time here and it won’t be the last. My husband had corned beef hash and eggs, I had steak and eggs. DELISH !!! Our server was spot on, can’t remember her name. Very attentive. Strongly recommend this place for breakfast !

I just want to review how amazing this waffle was. I ordered a side of fruit and turkey sausage as well and just threw everything on the plate because the tables on the patio are so small. But let me tell you about this waffle. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing and not only is cooked so perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. But the taste of it is like candy like with the bite of the crunch . I don't know what they put in this but I have never experienced a waffle like this before. I got the chocolate chip waffle. And it's not overly sweet with the syrup. It was such a wonderful experience. The service is top tier and the food is filling. Would definitely recommend tempo cafe to anyone.

Amazing! This was a short walk from our hotel. We are so happy we came here. The poor man skillet was amazing! The banana nut pancakes tasted like warm banana nut bread so delicious! I can’t wait to come back to Chicago to eat here again!

Absolutely delicious! Simple cafe in the heart of the Gold Coast. I’ve come here several times and the food is always great. Perfect egg skillet and pancakes every time. :). Also very cool Chicago Art.

Amazing spot for breakfast. Food came quick and the service was also great. They have in house orange marmalade, and salsa as well. Definitely gonna come back here to try other things on their menu.

Our visit to the Tempo Cafe for brunch was an absolute treat! We both had Scrambler Skillets - one Poor Man's and one with ham, mushrooms and cheese. Each portion was easily two meals! All of the staff were friendly, but our waiter, Forti, was an absolute gem of a human being. He was kind, friendly, attentive and made us feel like part of the family the entire time. The team knocks ir out of the park for flavor, variety, atmosphere and an all around amazing experience. We cannot wait to go back the next time we're in Chicago!!

Tasty, fresh, fast, and reasonably priced diner in the Gold Coast? Yes, please! This is a rare find in the area, especially because they open early. We ordered some simple plates and were very happy all around. The coffee is okay but it will definitely get things moving so don't go too far from a bathroom. I think the only thing I would do differently is try a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice.

It's a good spot to have brunch, we didn't wait long to be seated even though the place was quite busy. The food was ready soon after ordering. Both the avocado toast and gyros sandwich were delicious.

I am surprised about the fact that there are not too many cafes like this one in Chicago. Mostly because of the fair price and the food options.
The food is good, fresh and tasty.
The prices are fair, I paid 20 to 50% less than in other places in the same area, but the atmosfere is the best part of this place. You will always find families and groups of friends eating and having conversations with human contact. Amazing!

Came across this cafe while walking around the city. They had an outdoor patio and indoor seating. We decided to dine in! The interior decor was a little dated but don’t let that discourage you.
The service was good, quick, friendly and fresh. There were a lot of options to choose depending on your appetite.

Best diner for an early morning breakfast. Best pancakes around hands down. I highly suggest the chocolate chip! The service was also great!
