“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!!!!“

“You know those times when you have a craving but can only describe pieces of it? The answer is Egg Tuck. What a fluffy delight this is. I have been twice once in person, and once ordered on Uber Eats and both have been superb. I've had the Ham & Cheese along with the Bacon & Cheese, and it a fluffy sandwich. The way the fluffiness is absolutely delicious, it is not overwhelming and you can still get a great bite. I like doing the breakfast meal as it is a great bang for the buck. For $18 you get a sandwhich, a iced/hot coffee or orange juice and some tots. I will say that the Signature Egg Sauce, and House Sriracha Aioli are an amazing combination and everyone should try it at least once. The location is small and is ideal for small group dining 1-2 maybe up to 4 people dining at a table. As a coffee person, I prefer not getting coffee that is overly sweet but the Biscoff iced latte they have is phenomenal They have figured the perfect balance, and it comes with a cold foam top with a cookie crumble on top. I would for sure get that iced latte again as it was not overly sweet, and a wonderful way to start the day. If I am up north again in the Schaumburg area, I will stop by again.“

“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!!“

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

“Best breakfast place in the Schaumburg area😎“

“I’ll start by sharing the things I did like first then the things I think could use some work. Food and service was very good, its a little expensive per person depending on what you get. I got the gnocchi, a cinnamon sugar donut, and a chai tiramisu latte. No complaints anywhere there. The chai was $7 but its a large container so I didn’t feel as annoyed about it anymore, I think the pricing is fair for such a big drink. I would maybe offer different sizing just because people like me struggle with large amounts of caffeine but I did okay! The place was clean, aesthetic, I really liked the staff, we got our food fast, it was easy to talk. We had no issue finding parking but it is downtown Naperville and we came on a Wednesday. I noticed the manager walking around helping, I liked that he was involved. He looked a little annoyed at times though despite everything being pretty mellow.

Here are the things I think could use some tweaking. They don’t split checks, they offered to split it down the middle but in this economy that’s crazy. Just do separate orders/checks. Thankfully my friend and I had zelle. I just don’t always love using zelle because it shows up weird in my statements so I’d prefer to just split the check. We were kind of confused by the checkout process because the receipt didn’t say where to tip, turns out it’s on the phone. It was a little chilly in there so I’d maybe just recommend bringing a light jacket, not that big of a deal though. Not huge tweaks I think the only thing that was annoying was the checkout process could use some work.“

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

“I love going here!! Any time I am in the Chicago area, I find Egg Harbor. They are accommodating with large groups, service is great, and best part is the ability to order a wonderful, filling gluten free breakfast! Never had an issue with finding something to eat or it not tasty. Highly recommend stopping by.“

“This place is amazing! The owners treat you like you are family, the service is impeccable, and the food- wow, the food! More places need to be like this.“

“So long Sprinkles. I have a new favorite cupcake bakery —Courageous Cupcake. They are moist, delicious and made with fresh quality ingredients. The employees are super friendly and kind.“

“Best GF waffle I have EVER had!“

“This is our favorite breakfast place. The food is excellent, served hot. Service is great with coffee cup never being empty. Can’t say enough good things about this place.“

“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!

“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).“

“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.“

“OMG the Baked Blueberry French Toast!! 😋 Yummmm!!“

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

“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“

“This place was spectacular. The food was amazing. I ordered a tuna sandwich that was absolutely delicious, they told me it was homemade, and you could definitely tell. The potatoes were incredible.
My boyfriend ordered a burrito that tasted like homemade comfort food, just like something your grandmother would make. I also really enjoyed the chicken soup; it was divine, super creamy, and full of delicious flavor.
The coffee was absolutely delicious, and the service was impeccable. Our waiter treated us with so much kindness and everything was served very quickly.“

“Good service and food 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.“

“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.“

“Delicious food! Fast and friendly service!“

“The gluten free menu options are awesome!! The pancakes are soft and fluffy not stretchy (iykyk) our server Rosie B was very polite. So happy to have a new breakfast place and looking forward to trying lunch options in the future. Price was great too!!“

“Big portions. Corned beef hash was good but not enough corned beef but overwhelming potatoes.“

“Good Food , the spicy Chilaquiles were great 👍“

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

“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.“
