“Had the wonderful opportunity to enjoy breakfast at this fun little Cafe. Right off of Rand rd by Tony's Market in Arlington heights. Had the Popeye Benedict so yummy perfectly poached eggs and fresh fruit so tasty. Definitely worth atleast one visit but you'll find that won't be enough.“

“We visited for Sunday brunch around 11 a.m., and the restaurant was packed, so we had about a 45-minute wait before being seated. Despite the crowd, the staff kept things moving, and once we got our table, the service was friendly and attentive.

Our food arrived hot and fresh, and everything was made with quality ingredients. The omelets were flavorful, the veggie skillet was hearty and delicious, the pancakes were soft, fluffy, and perfectly cooked, and the waffle was crisp on the outside while remaining light and tasty. Every dish was satisfying, and the generous portions made the wait worthwhile.

If you’re planning to visit on a weekend, be prepared for a bit of a wait, especially during peak brunch hours. Overall, we had a great experience, enjoyed every meal we ordered, and would definitely recommend this spot for a delicious brunch.“

The food is absolutely delicious, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. The Million Dollar Bacon is incredible—perfectly cooked and so flavorful. I can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu!“

“This is THE BEST breakfast place I've ever been to. The menu is very extensive, so they gave us plenty of time to make our selections. We all got omelets (different types) and all the food was absolutely delicious! Our server, Jose, was extremely attentive and very patient with my elderly mother. I cannot recommend Garden Berry Cafe more highly!“

“Ate here for the first time this weekend. My server has was a girl named Sammie and she was great! Very talkative and attentive. I got the homemade cornbeef hash with some eggs and sour dough bread. Was delicious. I took two pounds of burnt tips to go for a Super Bowl party I was attending that night and they were a huge hit! Everyone loved them. I will totally be back to this place to try so many more things on the menu. Love it.“

“My wife and I celebrated our anniversary breakfast at Gardenberry Cafe, and it couldn’t have been a better choice. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by how clean, friendly, and welcoming the atmosphere was. The outdoor seating was a real highlight—it felt so good to enjoy a quiet meal outside together. Now the food… wow. I ordered the fajita skillet and French toast—both were incredible. My wife had the deluxe Philly cheesesteak with fries and tortilla soup. That soup was out of this world, and everything on her plate was just as impressive. The service was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and quick without feeling rushed. Honestly, the only "negative" is that Gardenberry is 35 minutes from our house. If it were closer, we'd be regulars. But even with the drive, we’ll absolutely be back soon. Great place, great people, great food. Highly recommend!“
