We came here for breakfast on our last morning in Chicago. We sat outside on a really lovely morning. My sister ordered the cold brew and I had a London fog latte on ice. Both were delicious. I got the egg white omelette with turkey bacon. The eggs were extremely fluffy and the cheese and spinach were great inside. The little tomato avocado salad had some dressing that complemented the omelette so well and the turkey bacon was cooked to perfection. The waitress was super nice and the food came out really quickly. Highly recommend.
This place was highly rated which is why we decided to give it a try on our last day here in Chicago.
We got there around 8:30 am (it opens at 8 am) and were told there was 45 minutes wait while half the restaurant were empty. I am sure there is a reason for it but I just don’t know myself. Since there were a few spots left at the bar, we decided to just have our breakfast while staring at the bartender debating whether it is socially acceptable to order a whiskey on the rocks before 9 am.
Sorry I digress: the fluffy pancakes were indeed fluffy. In fact, it was so fluffy that we almost ordered a second one. I had also a fried chicken burger with fried eggs. I have to say this was the best burger I had that had a fried egg in it. It was just a little weird that I ordered coffee to go with it but that was on me.
Overall it is a great place. You gotta check it out while visiting Chicago!

If you are a planner, this is where you want to be. I am not a planner and tried to walk in this restaurant for breakfast for 1 year and finally made it (only 25 minutes wait was acceptable) typical waiting time is very long and personally don't like to plan the breakfast location ahead. I was glad it was worth the wait as the produces have a much better quality than other places and the vegan options strikes! The plate presentation is also well cured and the attention of details makes this place ranking much better than other places. It is a little more expensive than others, however it is totally worth it. They also have fresh fruit juices with NO sugar added! This is particularly rare around. The hashbrown were all cut and presented in a squared shaped form, not just the classic disordered small mount.
The service was great and the waiter asked several times for a coffee refill, which is much appreciated!
Definitely will have to change my habits to book some breakfast to make sure I don't miss out again on this! Will definitely be back!

Really delicious food! That’s the first thing that really matters. Then the ambience was wonderful especially on a summer evening with cool breeze. We were a party of seven and everyone enjoyed themselves. Portions are large for a few of us and we didn’t have space for desserts, pity. I have the scampi pasta and it’s probably one of the best I’ve had. The corn broth was wonderful and full of umami (I thought it could be too sweet but it wasn’t). I tried my friend’s vegan bowl and the rice and shiitake mushrooms were so yummy! Great place for groups with all sorts of diet preferences.

Here’s the deal…..amazzzzing food but multiply that will the exceptional service. I stayed in the hotel next door and basically had breakfast, lunch, and cocktails there every day for a week. Walter should go into the bartender hall of fame…WOW…thanks for making me feel like one of the family. Rahim, you are a true professional and such an amazing leader of this crew. Folks let’s talk about the coffee service! Top notch. Get the Lavender latte and the breakfast tacos and call it a day!!!!

This restaurant is really beautiful, nice design. Food is outstanding but maybe just one plate will be enough for you. Cocktails are pretty good, they have a huge barista selection for coffees, however we did not try any. Deserts are super sweet. It’s basically healthy food. Service is OK, nothing special. Make sure you get a reservation. 100% recommended

Bumping place… always packed, but great food!
Environment: 9/10. This place is packed! Lots of folks here on a Sunday Brunch - loved the vibe. Some of the tables can be a bit sticky… we sat at the bar and moved to a table - both were. Definitely great vibes and cool little bakery area.
Food: 8.5/10. Solid food and no major complaints. Also, didn’t blow my mind either - but I’d definitely be back as a regular place to frequent. I may be spoiled by really really good food though.
The glasses smell a bit like dishwasher - maybe give the dishwasher a quick wash?
Service: 7/10. Whilst sat at the bar, every person behind was heads down avoiding eye contact. It was real disappointing. Had one guy finally come up to us after 10 minutes - I think he was a manager. He was solid. Also, Jack was pretty good too.
Overall, great place that is bustling with tourists and locals. I’d say they just need a little more attention on service and they can get across the line in my books.

We stopped here for dinner on Sunday night. It looks like a place you’d more likely stop for breakfast or lunch. However, our dinner was very good, too! More traditional in fare, we had the fries appetizer, chicken bebe and prime meatloaf. All were reasonably priced, full of flavor and well-portioned.

A good place for breakfast/brunch in the city. They have a good variety of options for brunch. Their coffee selection is amazing. Do try their freshly squeezed juices. Sunday brunches here great! Also, they have a really good pastry counter. Loved it!!

This place is literally one of the best breakfast joints I’ve ever had!! I didn’t get the opportunity to try lunch or dinner here. But my co-worker for their tacos for dinner & said they were really good! Love the health conscious ingredients they use, yet it tastes AMAZING!!! I ordered the bacon, egg & cheese sandwich the first day & figured it would just taste like a basic breakfast sandwich. Boy was I wrong!! It was unexplainable how good it tasted! Their tea is really delicious as well! Environment is cozy & relaxing.
