We were there on a busy Sunday morning and the service was good. Waited only 20 minutes for food for our table of 5. Food was hot and of good quality, but nothing special. I had the pumpkin pancakes and while good, I have had better. Restrooms were sufficiently clean for a busy morning. A good experience overall and would definitely meet friends here again.
Parking: There is a large lot though the restaurant itself is a little off the path if you have never been there before, near business park and hotels.

Disappointed when I came in last Sunday. I met someone for a work meeting and my eggs were full of eggshells. I didn’t send it back because I chose the place to meet and didn’t want to seem inconvenienced. As much as they charge for food, something as careless as eggshells in the eggs should not happen.

Lovely place to have breakfast. The service here is impecable. I had the cherry crepes, and they were delicious. I also had fresh squeezed juice and coffee; both were very good. If you want to treat yourself to a great breakfast, this is the place to go.
Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible. My sister had no issue eating with us and getting in and out of the building.

I always enjoy the food here and the service. I did have to deduct a star for the prices. Almost $10 for three slices of bacon is unfortunately getting out of hand.
Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free options, however, be aware that is is not a gluten free kitchen so cross contamination is possible. Make sure to let your server know so they can help!

I was there on a Saturday morning around 7:45am and the restaurant was about 1/4 full, but the staff almost outnumbered the customers. However, the service was very poor. It took at least 7 minutes for the server to come by. Also, during my visit, I only saw the server once for the order and once to give me my check.. I actually had to grab another worker to beg for my check. The server never once came by during my meal to ask if I needed anything else...which I actually did ...water, napkins, more applesauce...but he never bothered to come and ask. Regarding the food...they definitely don't deserve to charge the prices they do because it is not well prepared. The potato pancakes were $13.95 and not crispy on the edges, they were barely cooked inside, and the seasonings were so poorly mixed that I kept hitting pockets of pepper and choking. The bacon was $8.50 for 3 pieces and tasted like it had been fried in very old grease. The orange juice was $5.25 for a small glass and tasted strange. On the plus side, the decor is well done and beautiful. But if you sit anywhere near the kitchen, beware. You will be subjected to the staff shouting in Spanish for your entire meal from the kitchen and endless visits from the busboy clinking past your table.I hope other folks have a more positive visit, however, this restaurant makes the bottom of my list.

Highly recommend the western crepe. It has scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, green pepper, ham. Served with potato pancakes (not my fave but maybe they can substitute something else). Waiter was great! I had this dish when it was on special, it's not listed on the menu but he said they could make it for me. We also had the strawberry crepes, served with a citrus orange sauce. Everything is a little pricey but worth it. Tend to come here on special occasions. Wish this location participated in coupons like local flavor. The Schaumburg location is the only other closest one that participates.
