50 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Glen Ellyn

“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.“

“Wonderful food and staff, our server Kristy was warm and attentive. Ask for her! Breakfast menu is expansive!“

“Egg House is our Sunday breakfast spot. Plenty on the menu to choose from. We have had Terri as our server for years and she always makes it a pleasant experience.“

“Rosies moved to their new location and changed menu items. I use to go for the sausage gravy, but would you know they changed the sausage gravy and biscuits!!! It's not as good as before at all. The sausage were cut into tiny pieces instead of crumbled sausage. The biscuits were to big for the little gravy given. It was good while it lasted!!!!“

“(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.“

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

“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.“

“Food fresh and love atmosphere. Blond manager alws friendly and attentive“

“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!!“

“Best breakfast place in the Schaumburg area😎“

“This is a wonderful place to have a meal! Super friendly people, very accommodating of allergies, and delicious food! Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Warm, welcoming spot with excellent service. The plain pancakes were genuinely perfect - neither too thick nor thin, neither too floury nor cakey - we dubbed them Goldilocks pancakes! Light, buttery coffee that felt as welcoming as everything else here. Chilaquiles were flavorful and spicy, though some items could use bolder seasoning. Our son declared the chicken fingers his new “best-ever” and ate them all - that’s unheard of! Reasonable prices. Read our full Southwest Suburbs Breakfast Club review online (see bio).“

“My husband and me went out for breakfast at Pancake Cafe. We used to live in Bolingbrook so it was very close. But have moved to Oswego. So thought it would be great to go back. The food was very good as usual. They have a beautiful restaurant. Lots of stain glass light fixtures. Plus they have a lot of other stains glass
glass. The staff was very friendly and tender to us on a timely matter. Asking if we needed anything else, plus filling up our coffee cups. We had a wonderful breakfast and enjoyed ourselves.“

“If you’re looking for a place that gets it right across the board, Egg Harbor Elmhurst is it. The food was outstanding—flavorful, fresh, and served at the right pace. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without us having to ask twice. You can tell they care about the experience as much as the meal. I’ll definitely return, and I’ll keep recommending Egg Harbor Elmhurst to anyone looking for a great spot.“

“Delicious food! Fast and friendly service!“

“Great atmosphere. Great and friendly service. What really disappoints me, it is the fact, the employees don't have any sense of urgency. The managers do, I can see them going here and there while the actual crew is standing doing barely nothing with a cup on their hands lying over the counters.“

“It was our first time there, the food was delicious and our waitress was amazing!“

“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!“

“If only my stomach can fit one of each food from every category, then I'd give you a full review. However, just something as simple as their breakfast burrito was spectacular. 8.5 outta 10“

“This was a great place to eat! We tried it yesterday, during our trip, and were throughly pleased with it all. The restaurant looks great, service was fast, and the food was delicious. I’d recommend this to others.“

“What better way to celebrate after a baseball game than at our favorite breakfast place! Food is always amazing, and they are so sweet to our boys!“
