“Rosies moved to their new location and changed menu items. I use to go for the sausage gravy, but would you know they changed the sausage gravy and biscuits!!! It's not as good as before at all. The sausage were cut into tiny pieces instead of crumbled sausage. The biscuits were to big for the little gravy given. It was good while it lasted!!!!“

“Reasonably priced , good quality food“

“We visited for Sunday brunch around 11 a.m., and the restaurant was packed, so we had about a 45-minute wait before being seated. Despite the crowd, the staff kept things moving, and once we got our table, the service was friendly and attentive.

Our food arrived hot and fresh, and everything was made with quality ingredients. The omelets were flavorful, the veggie skillet was hearty and delicious, the pancakes were soft, fluffy, and perfectly cooked, and the waffle was crisp on the outside while remaining light and tasty. Every dish was satisfying, and the generous portions made the wait worthwhile.

If you’re planning to visit on a weekend, be prepared for a bit of a wait, especially during peak brunch hours. Overall, we had a great experience, enjoyed every meal we ordered, and would definitely recommend this spot for a delicious brunch.“

“You know those times when you have a craving but can only describe pieces of it? The answer is Egg Tuck. What a fluffy delight this is. I have been twice once in person, and once ordered on Uber Eats and both have been superb. I've had the Ham & Cheese along with the Bacon & Cheese, and it a fluffy sandwich. The way the fluffiness is absolutely delicious, it is not overwhelming and you can still get a great bite. I like doing the breakfast meal as it is a great bang for the buck. For $18 you get a sandwhich, a iced/hot coffee or orange juice and some tots. I will say that the Signature Egg Sauce, and House Sriracha Aioli are an amazing combination and everyone should try it at least once. The location is small and is ideal for small group dining 1-2 maybe up to 4 people dining at a table. As a coffee person, I prefer not getting coffee that is overly sweet but the Biscoff iced latte they have is phenomenal They have figured the perfect balance, and it comes with a cold foam top with a cookie crumble on top. I would for sure get that iced latte again as it was not overly sweet, and a wonderful way to start the day. If I am up north again in the Schaumburg area, I will stop by again.“

“Food fresh and love atmosphere. Blond manager alws friendly and attentive“

“very good food & service. first time here high recommendation and absolutely back for sure.“

“Best breakfast place in the Schaumburg area😎“

“I’ll start by sharing the things I did like first then the things I think could use some work. Food and service was very good, its a little expensive per person depending on what you get. I got the gnocchi, a cinnamon sugar donut, and a chai tiramisu latte. No complaints anywhere there. The chai was $7 but its a large container so I didn’t feel as annoyed about it anymore, I think the pricing is fair for such a big drink. I would maybe offer different sizing just because people like me struggle with large amounts of caffeine but I did okay! The place was clean, aesthetic, I really liked the staff, we got our food fast, it was easy to talk. We had no issue finding parking but it is downtown Naperville and we came on a Wednesday. I noticed the manager walking around helping, I liked that he was involved. He looked a little annoyed at times though despite everything being pretty mellow.

Here are the things I think could use some tweaking. They don’t split checks, they offered to split it down the middle but in this economy that’s crazy. Just do separate orders/checks. Thankfully my friend and I had zelle. I just don’t always love using zelle because it shows up weird in my statements so I’d prefer to just split the check. We were kind of confused by the checkout process because the receipt didn’t say where to tip, turns out it’s on the phone. It was a little chilly in there so I’d maybe just recommend bringing a light jacket, not that big of a deal though. Not huge tweaks I think the only thing that was annoying was the checkout process could use some work.“

“(2025) Brunch Cafe - Addison, IL I recently had the pleasure of dining at Brunch Cafe in Addison, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience! Our waitress, Febe, provided EXCELLENT service—she was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was amazing, coming out hot and fresh, just as we hoped. From the fluffy pancakes to the savory breakfast burrito, every dish was delicious and perfectly prepared. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff made us feel right at home. In my opinion, this restaurant should be rated #1 in Addison, IL for breakfast. No other place comes close to the quality and service we experienced here. Highly recommend! (2024) How ever long is your wait is please wait. It’s definitely worth the wait. Their food is absolutely delicious and our waitress was professional + friendly. Carrot cake pancakes are my new favorite.“

“This place is amazing! The owners treat you like you are family, the service is impeccable, and the food- wow, the food! More places need to be like this.“

“This is a wonderful place to have a meal! Super friendly people, very accommodating of allergies, and delicious food! Highly recommend!“

“some of the best breakfast food I have ever had! great great food and great service!“

“Good service and food at a reasonable price“

“The food was good and wasn’t cold with plenty of customization options you can get. We were checked on and our drinks were refilled. There were plenty of options available, mainly for breakfast, but there were options you could have for lunch as well.“

“Grew up in the area, great memories! Nice to know they are still in business. Used to work Nextdoor at White Hen Pantry, 1969 - 72“

“Stefanie is awesome! The whole staff is positive.“

“Warm, welcoming spot with excellent service. The plain pancakes were genuinely perfect - neither too thick nor thin, neither too floury nor cakey - we dubbed them Goldilocks pancakes! Light, buttery coffee that felt as welcoming as everything else here. Chilaquiles were flavorful and spicy, though some items could use bolder seasoning. Our son declared the chicken fingers his new “best-ever” and ate them all - that’s unheard of! Reasonable prices. Read our full Southwest Suburbs Breakfast Club review online (see bio).“

“Delicious food! Fast and friendly service!“

“Big portions. Corned beef hash was good but not enough corned beef but overwhelming potatoes.“

“It was our first time there, the food was delicious and our waitress was amazing!“

“If only my stomach can fit one of each food from every category, then I'd give you a full review. However, just something as simple as their breakfast burrito was spectacular. 8.5 outta 10“

“This was a great place to eat! We tried it yesterday, during our trip, and were throughly pleased with it all. The restaurant looks great, service was fast, and the food was delicious. I’d recommend this to others.“

“Been here several times but this was the most recent visit in years. Food is terrific & portions are generous. Great menu options. We went on Father’s Day and I think they were short-staffed so service was pleasant but slow - we had to ask several times for some basics (i.e., syrup to go with pancakes - silverware). But on a regular day it’s probably a good go-to.“

“Mario was awesome!!! We will go see him again!!“

“First time visit. Food was very good and great portions. Had to get the basket of biscuits :) Yum! You won’t go wrong ordering them.
Our server, Matilde, was wonderful. Greeted us with a smile that never left throughout our meal. Very friendly and attentive. We will be returning.“

“Delicious 🤤 and the service was great!“

“I don’t usually give all 5 stars but our waitress Alondra was incredible! She greeted us very warmly. She made sure our drinks were filled and topped off. She was super patient with us because we don’t get out often so we took longer to look over the menus. She also checked in us not once but twice to make sure our food was cooked properly and that we were happy with our meals. I tipped her around 25%-30% because she deserved it! To top it all off she asked if we wanted a water to go and said goodbye warmly with a smile. Felt like I was visiting a family member or a really good friend. We definitely left full, and with happy smiles on our face!

To the cooks: you made our meals taste and feel like a home cooked meal on a sunny Sunday morning! Thank you for your incredible skills and cooking.“

“Thanks to our wonderful server, Emily, my family and I had a great experience! We came in on Sunday night, and our experience was absolutely amazing. The food was delicious and was brought to us quickly. Our server also made sure our experience was perfect the entire time. Her positivity really made our night! The restaurant and bathrooms were also spotless!“

“Great staff, wonderful food, calming atmosphere at Bloomingdale location. Love their senior specials and their oatmeal with fruit. Plenty of lot parking and handicap spaces. Entrance doors must push open. Plenty of room for wheelchairs at tables and in restrooms.“

“Great food great atmosphere great service once they replaced the well done bacon which they happily did love this place and will be back cinnamon roll French toast highly recommend!!“

“We were in town for a basketball tournament, with a group of 22, and their staff accommodated our entire group! From the hostess, to our waitress, to whom I believe was the manager (tall gentleman), they were fantastic! The food, was delicious!!! Serving sizes were generous and their drinks were great as well. If we are ever back in town, we will return!“

“We had a great experience here! Even though there was only one waitress working when we arrived (about an hour and a half before closing), service was still quick and friendly. The food came out hot, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Our waitress was thoughtful enough to let us know the salsa had some heat, and even offered to put it on the side. It was definitely spicy but so tasty, and I ended up adding it to my dish anyway.

Overall, we really enjoyed both the food and service, and I’d definitely come back the next time I’m in town.“
