Bakin' & Eggs

We used the Google Assistant to make a reservation here! It was a sparsely decorated but nice interior. The staff was friendly, masked for COVID and we were seated quickly. Menus were available as a QR code or printed. We ordered oatmeal and a caramelized onion frittata with a cappuccino and a honey latte to drink. Would definitely order the honey latte again! The frittata was delicious but would recommend the cheese grits as a perfect complement. The oatmeal was steel cut and also surprisingly good and had some nice add-ins as well. Would definitely visit again!

It was great to go back to this restaurant after some years. Food still tasted good and staff was very friendly. I love it when you back to an old spot and the food did not miss a beat. Consistency is key for me with food. If you’re looking for a good breakfast/brunch spot, then give Bakin’ & Eggs a try. You will not be disappointed. Currently, there is construction on Lincoln but don’t let that deter from good food and coffee.

We chose this place last minute for brunch on Sunday. We had a group of 9 so we were happy that they had room for us. It's the only place I've been to that sells flights of bacon! The Bloody Mary was good but a little heavy on the horseradish (it's a house blend). Our server, Leal was funny and accommodated our lively group with a smile. I had the chilaquiles which was way different than what I am used to but delicious! It came in a patty type form and was heavy, I couldn't finish it. I also tried the banana bread French toast. It was super dense and rich! The restaurant itself just went through an upgrade and was clean, bright and welcoming. We would love to come back!

This restaurant just re-opened and thank goodness! The food is delicious and plentiful. The bacon flight gives a great opportunity to try different bacons and is fun to share. I had the banana pecan French toast and it was fantastic. My wife had the carmelized onion frittata and loved it. The coffee was good and plentiful (including when we switched to decaf). My wife is gluten free and there are plenty of options. The service was very good (still working through a few kinks from the re-opening but nothing major). Overall, a great breakfast place!

This is one of my favorite breakfast spots. If you like savory breakfasts, this is the spot for you. I've tasted around the menu, and everything is good. My personal favorites are the Southern Comfort Bowl and the Biscuits & Gravy tied. They have the best biscuits in town. The corned beef hash is a close contender though. The bacon flight isn't for me. I do like the Jalapeno bacon, but I don't taste a significant difference between the other bacon types. Their coffee drinks are as tasty as they are pretty. It's kid friendly. It can be a little loud with the kids, but it's a small price to pay to get one of those biscuits. This is a must try.

This place has a wonderful open layout with great lighting, aqua blue and gray walls and an over the counter bakery that makes it very inviting! The food was delicious, with creative and yummy recipes for anyone. Lattes were delicious, chilaquiles was as well! But I recommend splitting it cause it’s a huge amount of food. Banana pecan pancakes were everything you’d hope for! Definitely a must visit in Chicago. Only thing I’d say is they should definitely update their outdoor branding, the design looks pretty outdated.
