Courageous Bakery & Cafe

-Ham and cheese croissant: 4 stars; loved the added touch of everything bagel seasoning. -Breakfast burrito: 5 stars for the fresh ingredients, perfectly made eggs and accompanying hot sauces. Charming, unassuming little spot in elmhurst with friendly, helpful service, around 15 or so tables, a constantly full pastry case and really fresh breakfast. They even gave us complimentary donut holes while we waiting for our breakfast. Will definitely revisit!

I found this place and have been hooked since. From the friendliness when you first walk in, to the explanation of the menu, to the freshness of the order and all of the self serve condiments. I even found out their sister location is in my hometown and they make everything from scratch. RUN to try them out.

OMG - my husband and I both had the Breakfast Burrito today. I initially posted to my FB account that it was the best Breakfast Burrito ever. Edited to say it was the best tasting breakfast we have ever had. Truly - hands down. And we eat out breakfast a lot!! Cannot WAIT to go back and try other menu items. Such cute ambiance and an inspiring story as well. 5 stars are not enough!!

Wow! I stumbled upon Courageous Elmhurst yesterday, and was pleased with how many delicious-sounding options they had on the menu. I ordered the chicken pesto sandwich on multi-grain bread, and it was very tasty! It came with tomato, onion, and greens, and I had it with a side of home fries (and a pickle comes with the sandwich). Prices were very reasonable (about $13 for what I ordered) and there are quite a few drink options also. Friendly service, and FAST too - the cook started making my sandwich within seconds of me ordering it! I'll be back before too long!

Such a cute little breakfast place (they serve lunch too)! I've gone a few times and the service is fantastic! All the people there are welcoming and the food is great! The breakfast tacos are definitely my favorite and an easy go to goe breakfast or brunch! The atmosphere is super cute too and perfect for families or guest of any age!

Great cafe! Met up with friends that we haven't seen in a year and this was a perfect mid-point! The ambience, food, staff, and price was on point. When we went up to the cupcake showcase, we talked to one of the staff and he was very friendly and personable. I didn't even know this place competed in "Cupcake Wars" so that was a huge surprise and a bonus, so we bought 4 cupcakes to go and they were delicious! Highly recommend this place!
