Pancake Café Wrigleyville | Breakfast, Brunch, & Lunch

Got pancakes from Doordash and they were SO GOOD! Fluffy and flavorful. Pricing was great with large portions. Me and my partner enjoyed the pumpkin, chocolate and strawberry pancakes, as well as loaded breakfast potatoes.

I loved how everything was packed to ensure they stayed warm and didn't become soggy while traveling. I hope to visit in person next trip to Chicago. 🥞

Recently came here for breakfast. Food was excellent and hospitality was wonderful. Their new owner/manager Kristian and staff were really nice and welcoming. Great place for small kids and families. Will be coming back.

A consistently solid choice for breakfast and brunch in Wrigleyville. The pancakes are excellent—fluffy and just right. The menu has good variety, service is friendly, and the atmosphere is clean and pleasant. It’s a reliable, no-fuss spot for a good meal.

We’ve been here before, but wow — this place has gotten even better. We met the new owner today and he was genuinely kind and welcoming, and you can really feel that the restaurant is in great hands now.

The food was excellent with zero complaints (and that includes our very honest 11-month-old, who happily ate everything we offered off our plates). I got steak and eggs off their NEW special menu and was not disappointed! Can’t wait to try other items off of it.
For coffee, I tried the latte and it was really good, not too sweet — the kind that makes you already plan your next visit before you’ve finished it.
My husband ordered a Bloody Mary, which I ‘just tried a sip of’, and it was surprisingly delicious — and I’m not usually a fan of alcoholic drinks at all.

Overall, great food, great drinks, and a warm atmosphere. We can’t wait to come back and try more coffee drinks and other breakfast options. Highly recommend! ☕🥞

I was excited to try it this restaurant but I felt discriminated being an Hispanic.. I got sat down and waited 15 mins to order my food… they brought my food in different times instead of together and two I had to ask for my coffee after I got served.. the coffee tasted old and bland…

I just wanted to leave a brief review for one of the best employees, Liz. The last time I came in, she was wonderful—extremely polite and very attentive. I can honestly say the reason I’ll be coming back again is to say hello to her, because she was phenomenal. Aside from the excellent service, the food is great as well.

Great place for a good breakfast. Had a skillet and pancake sampler. Also the Irish coffee. All of it was very good.

I’ve been meaning to try this place for quite a while; I’m honestly wishing I hadn’t bothered. It was very busy, and it seemed maybe they weren’t prepared for a crowd (in spite of the holiday). The server came to take our drink orders immediately when we were seated, then tried to take food orders as well. When we said we needed a few more minutes, it took about 30 minutes for him to come back again to take our order (dropping off our drinks in the meantime, of which multiple were missing and had to be re-requested more than once). Food was decent, but nothing special, and some dietary requests when ordering were ignored. We couldn’t get an itemized receipt until after we paid (??) so luckily we weren’t charged extra for attempting to order the same drink multiple times or for the missing dietary accommodations. Even if today just happened to be busier than they anticipated, the mistakes and extremely slow service made it an unpleasant enough experience that I’m very unlikely to visit again.

Our absolute favorite breakfast spot in Lakeview! The food here is consistently top notch. I always go for the Steak Skillet and pancakes—the skirt steak is perfectly cooked every time: tender, juicy, and never chewy.

A close second is the Chorizo Skillet, which is the ultimate hangover cure—flavor-packed and satisfying. The wait staff is fantastic—friendly, attentive, and always ready with a coffee refill. This place never disappoints and is a must-visit for breakfast lovers!
