“(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.“

“My favourite place ❤️ First Watch is my absolute favorite place for breakfast! The food is always fresh, perfectly balanced, and delicious. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff is super friendly. Every visit feels special. I especially love their coffee and seasonal dishes — you can tell everything is made with care.“

“I came here excited to try the egg sandwich, my card had an error on it. it did not work. The guy in the register Bruno, He was super nice, we were having a conversation and he decided to pay for my food because my card wasn’t working, he payed for my food with his own personal card. That touched my heart usually people just say like oh come back another time but not egg tuck. He was super nice. He added a smile in my face. Other than the 10/10 customer service, the food was so good! I devoured it in 5 minutes!!“

“We had a large group just before lunchtime on a Saturday, and they were great about squeezing us in. Our server D was amazing, truly, and the other staff were helpful and attentive, too. The food was delicious, hot, fast, priced affordably. They have a large menu. We had some special diets in our group and there were enough options for them to find what they needed. I definitely would return and would recommend it to friends.“

“Best breakfast place in the Schaumburg area😎“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best GF waffle I have EVER had!“

“I have the avocado lotto and it was plenty so much that I have enough for supper. The fruit was fresh and plentiful. The tunafish and cottage cheese were excellent. The patty melt with onions was cooked perfectly. It came with a cup of soup and a generous portion of coleslaw. We will definitely come back here again.“

“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!

“WOW!!!
This was hands down one of the greatest breakfast experiences I’ve ever had at any restaurants.
If you’re fortunate enough to have Linda as your server, be prepared to tip at least 40% because SHE. IS. AWESOME!!!

Not only was the food absolutely incredible, it came out within 5 minutes of ordering.

Do yourself a favor and please dine here. Support this wonderful local restaurant.“

“I was excited to see that First Watch was finally open and we did not have a long time to wait before we got a table. The place was packed so we chose to eat outside where the wait was shorter. The food was amazing in the atmosphere was very chill. I had a meal full of sides that were all delicious. And my cousin had one of the specialty meals. Everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend First Watch.“

“this place is phenomenal ! I've been to several locations but nothing like this the dutch baby was perfect and the apple pancake reminded me of the one my mom used to make. very eclectic clean interior with extraordinarily caring and attempting staff memembers. highly recommend this location for the food service and atmosphere. it's not often I'm blown away but the dutch baby is a difficult thing do well in a resturaunt environment with a rush etc and they did a truly stand out job.“
