We came in on a Sunday for brunch after church. It wasn’t a bad breakfast, but nothing particularly memorable — and a bit pricey for what it was.
I had the Chilaquiles con Pollo, which were pretty good overall, though I would’ve liked more salsa since they were a bit on the bland side. The chicken and avocado were both extra charges, which made the meal even pricier. My boyfriend had an omelet — it was kind of dry and didn’t come with cheese, but the potatoes on the side were tasty.
The place was very quiet with hardly anyone dining in, and the atmosphere wasn’t the coziest or most inviting. Not terrible, but probably wouldn’t be my first pick next time.

The Cherry Pit Cafe, in Deerfield, IL, is an outstanding destination for breakfast or lunch, if you are looking for delicious food, a large and varied menu, and a cozy environment.Their service staff is warm and welcoming, and the restaurant is a fun step back in time with its nostalgic decor. I highly recommend it⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A charming and cozy spot right in the heart of Deerfield, Illinois! While visiting my sister, my wife, son, and I searched for a breakfast place and came across the Cherry Pit Café. Among all the options, it stood out not only for the appealing menu but also for the best value.
Our breakfast was excellent—generous portions with perfectly grilled potatoes, extra-crispy bacon, fresh fruit, and hot, crunchy toast. The coffee was spot-on and served with your own thermos pitcher for easy refills, which we loved.
What really made the experience special were the people. The owner, Freddy, welcomed us with such warmth, and our waiter, Matthew, had us laughing the whole time with his wonderfully dry sense of humor.
Overall, it was a delightful first visit and an experience I’d highly recommend to both tourists and North Shore locals. The Cherry Pit Café is definitely a must-try!

Last time I got food they burned some of it and the other half was cold. Also charged me extra for things that shouldn't have been charged in the first place. Will never spend my money here again and I suggest others to do the same if they charge you extra for cheese and an egg.

Cute diner with decent food and large portions. I think the tortilla our huevos rancheros was on might have been made fresh there. Attentive staff. Family style atmosphere.

Great food. Cozy Cafe environment. Park in lot behind
A Deerfield classic. Only downside is that it gets crowded and cramped, so if you're claustrophobic or have mobility issues, Cherry Pit isn't for you.

The Cherry Pit Café is a good place to have a tasty Tex-Mex breakfast. The food, like I said, is tasty, the service is okay, and the price is reasonable. The dining room can get noisy when it is busy,for if they have one or two large groups. We opt to sit at the counter, which can be fun, because you can watch the cooks make the food.
Along with theTex-Mex, The Cherry Pit also offers more traditional breakfast options; pancakes, waffles, and simple egg dishes. If you are in Deerfield, check out the Cherry Pit Café.
