“This place is absolutely bonkers. Went on the weekend for late brunch. It was packed and had a long wait time but it was worth it. The staff is really polite kind and helpful. They make changes if needed. Very accommodating. The food itself is really amazing. We got the skillets, pancakes and french toast. They were all delicious! And huge portion size.

“(2025) Brunch Cafe - Addison, IL I recently had the pleasure of dining at Brunch Cafe in Addison, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience! Our waitress, Febe, provided EXCELLENT service—she was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was amazing, coming out hot and fresh, just as we hoped. From the fluffy pancakes to the savory breakfast burrito, every dish was delicious and perfectly prepared. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff made us feel right at home. In my opinion, this restaurant should be rated #1 in Addison, IL for breakfast. No other place comes close to the quality and service we experienced here. Highly recommend! (2024) How ever long is your wait is please wait. It’s definitely worth the wait. Their food is absolutely delicious and our waitress was professional + friendly. Carrot cake pancakes are my new favorite.“

“A favorite of mine! The Farmer's Market Benedict is delicious as are the Swedish pancakes with lingonberries. My sister has celiac disease, and Egg Harbor has a good selection of gluten-free items on their menu. Servers polite and attentive. Friendly atmosphere.

Dietary restrictions: Many gluten-free options.“

“Food fresh and love atmosphere. Blond manager alws friendly and attentive“

“Stopped here for breakfast, 1st time and I would definitely recommend it. The service was excellent and the food was great (real, fresh, hot, cooked to order)! I had the sampler with oatmeal pancakes and they were delicious!!! My other options included the chicken avocado crepe and Mediterranean omelette. The coffee was good, it came to the table in its own thermal to stay hot. I highly recommend!!“

“We absolutely love this place. The food is great, the customer service fantastic, and they always donate to local schools and help support the community. The owners are incredibly personable, and always personally greet us when we come in. You can always see one of the owners helping customers, running the register, taking out food, and/or busing a table. The absolutely lead by example, and I believe this is one of the main reasons Sweet Toast delivers incredible food and customer experiences.“

“Excellent service and atmosphere, great food options; lots healthy options available. Two of us had breakfast and lattes. Bill was 60ish before tip, so their prices are in line with inner city Chicago rates. Great maple bacon. 15 minutes wait bc the place is busy.“

“Great food, ambiance and service!“

“This is a good breakfast spot I've been to 3 times now. I've had the eggs Benedict, burrito suizo, and healthy scrambler.

Only the eggs Benedict blew me away. The burrito looks delicious but is kinda bland. The scrambler was nothing better than what I could make at home.

My partner had oatmeal today and actually that was really good. She order crepes in the past that were good tasting too.

There are very few breakfast restaurants I feel are worth going to these days.“

“Went there for the 1st time last Saturday. The service and the food were both excellent. Amber was on top of everything and was very knowledgable about the menu items. Husband had a ‘skillet’ breakfast and I had the granola/berry French toast. We left very little food and we didn’t need much to eat afterwards. The food was filling and kept us going until late afternoon. I recommend this restaurant and will be back! Highland Village Texas location“

“Best GF waffle I have EVER had!“

“This was our first time eating at YiaYia's Cafe in Hinsdale, Illinois. The restaurant and bathroom was very clean. The food was great tasting and perfect portions. The waitress was very friendly and professional. We will definitely be coming back to eat here again!

Keep up the great work!

“Jenny was great and went above and beyond accommodating our large party! We were really impressed by the customer service and kindness of the staff. The food was delicious, and we will definitely be returning. Thank you Jenny and Lake St Cafe!“

“We stumbled upon The Tasty Biscuit while in town for a wedding and ended up coming back twice—it was that good. Despite a packed parking lot both mornings, we were seated right away thanks to their fast, efficient service. The coffee was excellent, the menu was full of creative and classic options, and the food itself? Quite possibly the best breakfast we’ve ever had. On our second visit, we even recognized some familiar faces from the day before—clearly, we weren’t the only ones hooked! If you’re anywhere near this place, don’t miss the chance to stop in. Your taste buds will thank you.“

“This is a wonderful place to have a meal! Super friendly people, very accommodating of allergies, and delicious food! Highly recommend!“

“So long Sprinkles. I have a new favorite cupcake bakery —Courageous Cupcake. They are moist, delicious and made with fresh quality ingredients. The employees are super friendly and kind.“

“We had an absolutely wonderful brunch at The White Sheep in Naperville. Four friends catching up, and honestly, we couldn’t have chosen a better place. The food was outstanding — we shared the Eggs Benedict and the steak chilaquiles, and both were 100% recommendable. Portions are very generous; we shared everything and still had leftovers.

The lattes were also excellent, especially the tiramisu latte, the chai latte, and the classic latte.

Our server, Tania, was fantastic — attentive, kind, and perfectly balanced: always there when we needed something, but never hovering.

The atmosphere is beautiful: lots of natural light, cozy holiday décor, and a calm, welcoming vibe. What truly made the experience special is that we stayed for almost three hours enjoying each other’s company and never once felt rushed. We weren’t even given the check until we asked for it. That level of hospitality is everything for gatherings like this. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Great food and service! Thanks!“

“The food was absolutely fantastic, bursting with flavor, and the service was truly exceptional. Our server, Antonio, was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and full of great menu suggestions.
