5 Maple & Yolk | Breakfast & Brunch Eatery | Elmhurst

4.0 Good 28 Reviews

254 North York Street, Elmhurst

“What a wonderful surprise! We were a little hesitant to try Maple & Yolk since it’s new, but we are SO glad we did! This is the former Rainbow Café, now under new ownership, and they are doing an amazing job. The food was fresh, delicious, and excellent quality, the portions were generous, and everything we ordered was beautifully prepared. And I have to give a special mention to the French fries — absolutely AMAZING! 🍟😍 Honestly, some of the best we’ve had! The atmosphere was welcoming, the service was friendly, and you can tell the new owners really care about the quality of both their food and their customers’ experience. We had such an enjoyable breakfast and can’t wait to go back. Maple & Yolk is definitely a wonderful new addition to Elmhurst. Highly recommended! ❤️”

“(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.”

“The Willow Hills Pancake House was one of our favorite places when we lived in the area six years ago. We recently returned to Chicagoland for a wedding and had brunch with some old friends at the new Golden Century Cafe before heading home. We weren't sure what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food, the service, and the fresh redecorating by the new owners, Mark and Sandra, since they took over in December of 2025. If you haven't checked out Golden Century Cafe, it would be worth your while to do so. Good food and large servings at a reasonable price.”

“This used to be our absolute favorite spot. My friends and I would come here several times a week, and we loved the familiar faces on the staff. Sadly, things have drastically changed for the worse. ​We noticed the staff began turning over constantly, and after speaking with some of the remaining employees, we found out why: the owner is reportedly keeping 40% of the servers' tips. Under Illinois law, tips belong entirely to the staff, and an owner taking a cut is entirely illegal. ​It breaks our heart to walk away from a place we loved, but our group has decided to take our business to other local spots that actually respect and support their employees. We won't be back until management corrects this and treats their staff fairly.”
