“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!!“

“Flew in from CA for a concert (stayed at the Sonesta nearby) and needed a hearty brunch before my flight back.
First Watch exceeded expectations and over delivered. The place was bustling, we got seated promptly and our server was so nice and was always smiling :) The barbacoa chilaquiles were 11/10 and the french toast was 11/10. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“Food was delicious. They serve large portions. Staff is super friendly. Atmosphere is great, loved the mixture of background music including soft rock.“

“We love coming to have breakfast here on the weekends and usually have great service. Today, our server Arwa, the service was next-level. Despite having several tables she was attending to, she made sure to check in on us and make sure everything was to our liking.“

“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😎“

“Egg Tuck was absolutely amazing. After a few days on a liquid diet, this hit the spot in the best way possible. The eggs were silky smooth, melt-in-your-mouth delicious, perfectly flavored and paired beautifully with fresh avocado. The brioche bread pulls everything together — soft, rich, and just indulgent enough. I love how they “tuck” the sandwich into the cutest little box, and the sriracha mayo sauce is incredible. The space itself is spotless, the staff is genuinely friendly, and the easy digital self-ordering makes the whole experience seamless. Honestly, this felt like a K-drama sandwich moment — iykyk.“

“(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.“

“This was the first time at this First Watch. It is great there is a bar seating option as the waves of people waiting for a table were constant. The food was delivered hot and as requested. Definitely a great add to the OPRF restaurant cohort!“

“It's a decent breakfast place. Portions are good but it's not cheap. Also I feel like the quality of their food has gone down noticeably since I first went there three years ago, my Mom doesn't want to go here anymore. It's still good enough, but Hen House of Wheaton is down the road and their food is WAY better. But also way more pricey. It's in this weird place where it's not cheap enough for me to want it as a budget option, but the food isn't quite good enough for me to want to have brunch with my parents.“

“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!

“Lake St Cafe is such a hidden gem! The food is consistently delicious, fresh, and full of flavor, and you can really tell they care about quality. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming perfect for a relaxed breakfast or lunch. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always makes you feel right at home. Everything from the service to the presentation is on point. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area you won’t be disappointed!“

“Great food and service! Thanks!“

“Good service and food at a reasonable price“

“Excellent service and a really nice atmosphere, with plenty of good food choices, especially if you’re looking for healthier options. Two of us had breakfast along with lattes, and the total came to around $60 before tip, which feels pretty typical for inner city Chicago pricing.

The maple bacon was fantastic. We did wait about 15 minutes, but the place was clearly busy, so it made sense. Overall, a great experience.“

“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“

“Stefanie is awesome! The whole staff is positive.“

“I have take out from here quite often as I work in the area. Food is always done properly, each and every time. Monday I dined in and had a wonderful experience. Great staff, solid service. Shout out to the server Micheal great energy, definitely a people person. Highly recommend for a traditional breakfast.“

“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.“

“Best GF waffle I have EVER had!“

“This pancake joint is the BEST!!! The workers are awsome and super helpful. The inside of the restaurant feels like an authentic cosy dinner. The FOOD was great. As a proud polish man I ordered the potato pancakes. (Best decision ever!) The pancakes were really good and in a huge portion size. This place is adorable and worth your buck. WOULD RECOMMEND!!! I WILL BE COMING BACK.“

“Delicious food! Fast and friendly service!“

“I worked here for 6 months and the owners had me fired for talking Spanish to the cooks! VERY discriminatory!!!💯 Customers BEWARE of what type of establishment you are supporting when dining here!💯“

“Good Food , the spicy Chilaquiles were great 👍“

“This breakfast/brunch place is phenomenal. My 1st visit to a First Watch and we were not disappointed. The coffee, food and service (Jordan was our waiter) were terrific. Jordan was attentive and kept us happy. I would recommend this place to all!“

“Lovely local family restaurant!“

“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. 🩷“

“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..“

“The food was meh. I got the ribeye. I will start by saying that I cleaned my plate. So it wasnt THAT bad... But the steak was chewy and lacked flavor. And it might have been a touch over-done from the med-rare I asked for; AND it was way too thin. I'd be surprised if someone said it was half an inch thick. But again, I finished it. It wasn't nearly bad enough to complain about. But for nearly $50, it wasn't up to snuff. The green beans and mashed potatoes were both pretty good.
Service was good enough. Our waiter was on top of everything and fast. Can't ask for more.

We stopped in because we had limited time between check in at the hotel and when the concert started at Joe's live across the street/parking lot. If we had more time, we probably wouldve gone somewhere else. It's not bad, but it's not great food either. Again, for nearly $50, you would probably be better off somewhere else. But if it's your only option, you won't feel bad either.

They seemed pretty kid friendly, fwiw.“
