“This place is a hidden gem! We've only been here for breakfast so far but the food and service was amazing. I only wish we lived closer. 😍“

“Great food and even better service. Family-run, with well-trained, attentive and caring staff. This cannot be taken for granted. There are many choices for breakfast in Naperville, mostly chains that move masses of people in and out, sometimes without even a smile. Sweat Toast has earned my regular business. Breakfast should not be a difficult experience. They are consistent, allow substitutions without hassle and are always willing to accomodate a customer's needs. Regardless of rude comments about Naperville people and "house pets" made by another google reviewer, who inappropriately used this platform to disparage other people and show his ignorance, our registered support dog Gizmo bothered nobody during our visit, even though he was not feeling well as we were leaving. Accidents happen. I have seen much worse with children and their inattentive parents.“

“Grew up in the area, great memories! Nice to know they are still in business. Used to work Nextdoor at White Hen Pantry, 1969 - 72“

“Excellent food , excellent service , clean , great menu, highly recommend“

“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 were attended by AMIRA, her service was way on a whole different level. Super polite, always paying attention to our table. Had complete knowledge of the menu and what to recommend. I was just visiting from Puerto Rico and if I come back I would love to visit Yia Yia again because the food is awesome but the service provided by Amira made the food even better.“

“(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.“

“Great food and service! Thanks!“

“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“

“Went there in the afternoon for late breakfast. Food was excellent ...service was crap..Waittress brought out my friend's food and didn't bring out all of my food till I was halfway through my meal. When I told a waitress she said that the kitchen was behind on putting orders out but I was there a 1/2 hour before they close? Food was excellent and a large amount and plan on taking leftovers home.

Parking: Probably at least 80 to 100 parking spots.

“Visiting from out of town & found this place by accident. So good. The food is delicious and amazing. Sebrena is delightful & made thoughtful suggestions for our order which elevated our experience. Planning on coming back tomorrow before leaving town.“

“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.“

The atmosphere is always welcoming, clean, and cozy, which makes the dining experience even better. As usual, the food was delicious and served quickly. If you're looking for great service and tasty meals, I highly recommend them.“

“I really needed a latte ok two after a crazy few days. Omar our server go brought it out pronto. He took our order right away and the food was amazing. Coffee always amazing and hit the spot. Gave me a disposable cup to take 2nd latte with me. Pumpkin pancakes were wonderful and my daughter's oatmeal and berries were great. Service and staff were friendly and helpful.“

“The food was excellent. We enjoyed it.“

“I moved to the area 6 months ago, my sister & I tried this place for the 1st time today. Even though it was a Saturday morning & very busy we were seated within a couple of minutes. Being it was our first time here we had to take time to look over the menu & the specials. We decided to share the West Coast crepes, & the Caprese Benedict, both were fresh, delicious, & plentiful, both of us even took a half of a crepe home, we also shared an order of bacon 🥓 which was thick cut, & not too salty. The menu has plenty of options to choose from, healthy options, vegetarian, meaty, fruity, etc. The one thing I would like is with their crepe menu, they have a few different options that are sweeter more like dessert crepes, & they have the West Coast crepe which is savory, my sister & I both agree that it would be nice to have other savory options for the crepes also. The service from the hostess to the waitress, and the other staff were friendly, & helpful, with the fact that this was our first time the waitress was kind enough to give us time to look over the menu & make a decision on what we wanted. P.S. I ate a flower for the 1st time! It was a garnish on our plates. The only thing I regret, is that I didn't take pictures of our food.“

“Delicious 🤤 and the service was great!“

“We were in town for a basketball tournament, with a group of 22, and their staff accommodated our entire group! From the hostess, to our waitress, to whom I believe was the manager (tall gentleman), they were fantastic! The food, was delicious!!! Serving sizes were generous and their drinks were great as well. If we are ever back in town, we will return!“

“Great staff, wonderful food, calming atmosphere at Bloomingdale location. Love their senior specials and their oatmeal with fruit. Plenty of lot parking and handicap spaces. Entrance doors must push open. Plenty of room for wheelchairs at tables and in restrooms.“
