Brunch Restaurants near Crystal Lake, IL

“This place makes me happy. Great staff, great food, adorable place!“

“My all-time favorite breakfast spot in the area and choose it countless times over other places. The food is always fresh and so so good. The service from the waitresses who've been there for a long time (idk their names) is always spot on. We always feel well taken care of!
I have to mention though, after coming for the mother's day brunch for the first time, I experienced something that made me feel icky. The waitress we had (I believe she is newer) quickly added a 20% tip to our bill without saying anything, and then still not saying anything, handed me the card reader which prompted ANOTHER tip. I'm glad I noticed, as it happened very quickly. When I finished, she skipped through the survey questions on the reader. I left feeling like I was trying to be tricked and it didn't feel good. We only had a party of 3 adults and 2 toddlers. Not sure if it was protocol for the event, but it felt sneaky and not good.“

“Great place for breakfast“

“They always take care of us when we come in every Sunday. Great staff all around and always great food!“

“We went today to the brunch cafe after Holy Mass in the am. It was fully packed but we didn’t wait long. We all ordered but my food came out a little late, the manager (at least I think so) personally apologized and said there was a mistake in the kitchen and they are preparing the food as we speak. Honestly, I didn’t mind, it’s fine not a big deal at all. I Waited maybe 5min longer that the others at my table. I got my food and it was very good. We enjoyed it all. The bill came and it turns out I got my meal that I was waiting for a little longer for free, managers discount. It was super nice. They didn’t have to do it. It wasn’t a big deal to me. But they cared and wanted us to have the best experience. It never happened to me before at any restaurant. Thank you 🙏“
