“(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.“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“Good service and food at a reasonable price“

“This place exceeded expectations by far! Seems like a little hole in the wall from the outside but the inside is very nice, and the breakfast was DELICIOUS! Our waitress was so sweet and service was quick, I'm impressed. Plan on stopping by again my next trip through!“

“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.“

“Delicious food! Fast and friendly 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.“

“Lovely local family restaurant!“

“What a GREAT pancake and breakfast place. The food is wonderful from the delicious omelets and agg dishes to the perfect pancakes especially their famous apple pancake to the perfect waffles & perfect crepes!! The best part is all of the food is served piping hot, the best way to enjoy it!! The coffee is fresh and the orange juice is fresh squeezed!!
The service is 5 stars as well. You never feel rushed so it is a great place to meet friends for breakfast and lunch!! You will be so happy and return again & again !! That's a promise!!“

“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“

“Warning: the internet menu is very outdated. The Maps app shows the recent menu as the 3rd photo. We had lunch and dinner, and the food and service was very good. The carbonara was a little bland, but the chicken was very good. But the portions huge. The soup of the day was very good and a large serving.“

“My favorite Green Chilaquiles, we live in Rockford and every time we’re passing by we come to Andy’s Cafe, thank you for the great service and delicious food..“

“We went for a later breakfast during the week as out of towners (10am from NW Iowa). The restaurant came highly recommended and man was it worth it. With breakfast, they bring cinnamon sugar mini donuts like rolls from a “steak establishment”. The portions we generous and the service was timely.“

“Made a detour along our 5 hour road trip, sugar milk cafe being our last stop as we headed home after a long day. So glad we chose them! Our food and drinks were delicious, the decor is beautiful within the establishment and staff were very kind/attentive. 🩷“
