3rd Coast Cafe

It's been so long since I've been here, at least over ten years. I'm just happy to see that they're still around. It was a memorable experience when I was last in Chicago.
After we were there I wrote an email in 2009:

Hey 3rd Coast!!

We were there this past saturday for brunch, Mika was great!! Just
wanted to return the good vibes he gave us and thanks for making
Chicago that much more special.

I am a regular returning every two to three years when I visit family in Chicago. Thanks for another great night out in Oct 2025 and looking forward to my next visit.

Fantastic breakfast stop! We went to 3rd Coast Cafe to start our weekend in Chicago, and it was an amazing stop. My omelette was made to perfection, and my wife really enjoyed her chocolate chip pancakes and hashbrowns. It is worth the trip down the steps to the 3rd Coast Cafe for a delicious breakfast with a pleasant atmosphere!

I really don’t like they vacuum the floor during ppl dinning. How do I eat with all the dust flying all over the air. Please educate your employee.

Hidden gem in the village.. delicious food all throughout the day.. staff so friendly & very welcoming..

Loved it. It was super packed and we initially were told there would be a 20 minute wait for two. It only took about 7 minutes. We were sat and Dylan was right there offering drinks. Our food came out pretty quick and we enjoyed the stuffed french toast, eggs benedict and our fantastic lattes. Great neighborhood spot

WOW. I was blown away by this little cafe, the coziness and comfort I felt walking into the restaurant made me want to eat here again and again and again. In fact- we did!! We were staying in the hotel next door so we came in for breakfast several times and made it in for dinner one night and had the best pork Marsala with crispy potatoes that makes me drool just thinking about it. BUT the real star was the Pesto Eggs Benedict, the pesto hollandaise was to die for and my husband’s Huevos Rancheros was so amazing with the house made sauce!!
I was thoroughly impressed and amazed by the kitchen that makes practically everything in house and with love. You can really tell the owner takes tremendous pride in her restaurant and pours her heart out into her work. Definitely make the trip here, you won’t regret it!!
