My first visit awhile ago was fine, came here the second time and disappointed in many ways. Food, dark oxidized avocado, asked for sunny side up but egg came scrambled. Service was worse, hard to get any attention even if we were trying to, waitress had an attitude since beginning, told to just look at the menu special when we asked for recommendation, told that's how it is when I mentioned my refilled coffee had little taste. It was really hot in there, people at front told me there is no air conditioning

Came for breakfast and got lax and bagel with café latte. Salmon was okay, but coffee was delicious. Overall enjoyed the atmosphere. This place has a good variety of breakfast. Service needs some improvement tho.

Loved the food! The service was excellent, the waitress let me take my time despite having a few crowded tables. No pressure but also very knowledgeable in the menu items. Since this place is next to a hotel, bathrooms need key access. Again, very nice place and classy! I hope to return soon! :) in my photots I show the chicken and waffle with orange juice and coffee.

Wow! I had the cobbler crepe and it was so delicious. I also really enjoyed my iced latte since it was such a hot day on the patio.
The patio space was perfect, I really appreciated the shady spot under the umbrella when the sun was so hot. I will definitely be back!!

Unfortunately we had a terrible meal at this Café. The food was drenched In butter and oil and didn't taste good. I gave 2 starts instead of 1 because the waitresses was nice and understanding when we returned the meal.

Only been here once, after I ran the shamrock shuffle. Busy because it was Sunday morning, but food was delicious and affordable. Baby friendly.

Great place for generous breakfast portions and special diet requirements such as gluten free, vegan, dairy free, etc. The first breakfast I had gluten free crepes. They were light and fluffy and covered in a lot of beautiful berries, a full banana, house made granola and drizzled in honey. Delicious!!
My daughter had chocolate crepes with Nutella. They were super sweet and a little too rich but she laughed at herself saying, What did I expect!? She enjoyed the leftovers after a night of seeing the sights.
The second morning I had the pictured gluten free French toast, well the picture shows less than half of the meal. Again covered in berries and a banana. I asked for maple syrup instead of agave and it was real maple syrup. They used three large hearty multi grain pieces of bread and the soy custard it was dipped in was delicious.
My daughter got the Greek yogurt which was generously covered in granola and almonds with a very tasty honey. The portion was quite large! She added sides of potatoes and the chicken cherry sausage thinking yogurt wouldn't be enough. Again all the servings were huge and delicious and she really didn't need the much food. A good problem to have I guess.
The lunches offered sounded wonderful as well but we didn't get to eat there for lunch.

The staff was so carrying and nice, it really made for a good experience.
The food is delicious, there smoothie are great. It is a little on the expensive side but overall fair. Portions are nice and plentiful.
The place is very nice and comfortable. A good place for a good brunch.

Convenient location next to our hotel in downtown Chicago. Seating was quick. Place is kept very clean and spacing between tables is adequate. Extensive menu with a very unique drink menu featuring many health option smoothies. Short wait time for food after order was taken. Had the banana french toast which came on banana bread - thick slices and plenty of banana. The smoothie pic is 'oatmeal'. The other order was 'Berry crepe' which came with lots of fresh berries. Prices are very reasonable compared to other Chicago restaurants we have been to. Overall, this business is customer focused and recommend.
