Such a great breakfast! Everything we had was super fresh and yummy, I had brought out-of-town visitors here for breakfast and everyone had a great experience with their food! I ordered the crab cake benedict and it was just absolutely delicious! Still dreaming about it..

The breakfast here is amazing! They have a ton of options. Their avocado toast is really tasty too. The food didn't take long to be taken to our table, although I wish that our server hadn't been in such a rush since it kinda felt like we had to leave quickly after finishing our food instead of taking some time ro finish our coffee.

I've always wanted to go check their menu and I'm glad that i finally did it. The space itself isn't big but perfect enough to maintain *not too crazy* brunch vibe. Servers were friendly and nice and food was delicious. Egg white omelette was fresh and busicuits&gravy was so savory. But I definitely recommend trying their soft, warm, and sweet cinnamon roll.

We came here for sunday brunch, service was super duper slow, saw the server 3x, they weren’t really busy. Outside sitting was nice. The food was really good, must try the lemon blueberry pancakes and the goat cheese omelet. The dirty chai was smooth and flavorful.

Came in for brunch and had the avocado toast with a poached egg. Wasn't a fan of the slice of bread they use but otherwise a solid option from the menu. The egg was cooked perfectly and there was plenty of avocado on there! The side of fruit was fresh and delicious. The salad could've used a bit of dressing but overall it was pretty good. Our waitress was great.

Blown away by the food and service at this location. I’ve come here several times for weekend brunch—recommend the crab cake benedict, chicken and waffles, blueberry pancakes. French toast is made with challah bread and very decent too. The staff are extremely efficient and work together as a team, and they really make sure you have everything you need. A rare find!

Amazing! We have been to this place many times and now I think I found my favorite - Avocado toast with salmon on the side and fruits! Everything was yummy (only melon did not taste like anything), super fast and friendly! Recommended :)

First time eating here, and I was a little confused as to how to order and pay, but it worked out in the end ! You just need to wait for a server to come by, and they will also bring a card scanner with them when you’re ready. The portions sizes are huge to make up for the price, and it was really good! I would definitely recommend this place to someone who wants a budget-friendly breakfast before heading to navy pier which is only a 8 minute walk away. I got the waffles with seasonal fruit, and my friend got the biscuits and gravy. I’m definitely coming back to try out their other sweet breakfast items 😋🧇
