Janik's Cafe

Rey Colón

Went here for breakfast yesterday. After a random Google search for a new breakfast spot to try, Janik's caught my eye with the Lox & Bagel platter on the menu. I have passed it many times going to other establishments nearby, but I never even noticed it was there. My lady ordered the Biscuits & Gravy with a mimosa. Everything was excellent. Responsive service, pleasant atmosphere, and great food. We both agreed that this place was worth revisiting for breakfast, brunch, or lunch.

Euro/Mexican breakfast/brunch place; about 50 seats, most at communal tables of 8. Kid friendly, accessible, metered street parking. Fairly lively/noisy. No reservations, but we were seated immediately on Sunday at 10AM and there was space the entire time we dined. Oddity: some of their tables are plastic, and your plate can easily slide away from you! 😁

We got the ham egg Benedict and the 2 eggs sandwich. The food was very delicious and came out super fast and steaming hot. The staff was very attentive, fast, and very pleasant. The food was not very heavy and was not super greasy (like some breakfast places can be). I’ve passed but this place many times and have never been but through some research I decided to give it a try. And I was quite pleasantly surprised. I can say this place is a hidden gem in wicker park. The family owned business has been around for a while, for a reason. Will definitely be coming back here again. Super delicious food and amazing spot. 10/10 would recommend.
