Stopped in on a fluke and was blown away. Nice neighborhood vibe going on the minute you walk in. The food was so tasty and fresh we wanted to try everything in the menu. Great variety. The space is super tight and clean. Can’t wait to get back.

I FINALLY found it. You know the kind of place that of course serves amazing food but the people too are not pretentious, take care of you and genuinely want to try to make sure you like what you order, how you are treated and actually give a damn.
Typically, you need a few minutes to kind of 'feel' the place you know. No exaggeration; it took a half second to just 'know' we are going to love this place. The staff are just so kind, helpful, sincere and are proud to be working here. Very accommodating. I'm running out of words here. Honestly, I already feel like I've just 'connected' to this joint and can't wait to come back again.
The coffee was just right (not too acidic like a lot of 'modern' places). We ordered 3 things.
I ordered the cowboy. Mama mia. Hmmm hmmm hmmm. The scrambled eggs had some flavorful spices (not heat but flavor) which were subtle but made the eggs way different than the traditional scrambled eggs you get just about anywhere. The addition of the chorizo and bacon IN the eggs was such a delight. The egg part of this scrambled too, it was not like what you typically find where the eggs have kind of lost their air and become flat. There was something about these that held their rightful space in the universe (which happened to be my plate for them right now).
The guac that came with it was actually one of the better ones outside that I have had recently (my wife's still is the best ever but this one here was different enough that I liked it). The 'hot sauce' they gave us upon request was EPIC. It is exactly that; HOT sauce but with flavor.
We also ordered an egg bowl with a little modification. My wife likes the eggs sunny side up. The veggies here were as one would expect. I wonder though if the dish would have tasted better if we had not messed with the eggs.
We really really wanted to try their nutella pancake (we are leaving for about 3 months so really wanted to try it during this trip) so we ordered a smaller portion of that. YUM YUM YUMMMMYYY. We typically don't have a sweet tooth but of course, nutella pancake? You gotta have that. The bananas and strawberries topped with the whip cream and powdered sugar (which next time, we might do without). This hit THE SPOT. The sweetness was so good, we did not touch the syrup. Wasn't needed.
All in all, this is an EXCELLENT place and I am SO GLAD we found it. I think this is going to become our 'regular' place once we get back.

I am in loveeeeee. It has simple decor yet Puerto Rican island vibes. I went for brunch on a Sunday, no wait. The VIP Ranchero Chilaquiles was made to perfection. Kiss the chef!!! Service was friendly and food came out quickly.

Insanely good. Walked in and could smell they cooking wit the right stuff. Ordered a hot mocha and it was one of the best I've ever had rich chocolate flavor with no bitter. Got a la cubanita sandwich and it was perfect egg to bread ratio easy bites. Potatoes were on point as.while. But let tell you their sauces are the boss fresh homemade aioli and cilantro sauce were out this world. Every server and employee was extra nice and just provided at home vibe. Will return again. Glad I stopped in

Brunch on the patio in downtown Skokie was a great call. The weather was perfect, the patio was comfortable, and sitting out there with coffee felt like the right way to spend a morning. I had the Egg Bowl, which was fresh, flavorful, and honestly really good. It was a little expensive for what it was, but I did not regret ordering it.
The service was on the slower side, but it matched the relaxed feel of the place. It was nice to linger over coffee while waiting for food, so it did not feel like a problem. If anything, it added to the sense that this is a spot where you can actually slow down and enjoy yourself.
The atmosphere is easygoing and welcoming, the kind of place I can see myself coming back to often. Even with the higher prices, the quality of the food and the overall experience made it worth it.
Overall, I would give it 4 stars. The food was great, the patio made the meal feel special, and while the service took its time, it worked for a leisurely brunch. I am glad this place is in downtown Skokie.

Very cool spot in a great downtown Skokie location, with a huge menu to choose from.
We sat outside where the decor was really aesthetic, with both shaded and unshaded seating options. I had a drip coffee with oat milk and the Chocolate & Banana Crepes, while my boyfriend ordered the Mushroom & Steak Sensation Egg Bowl with an oat milk latte.
The drinks and food looked beautiful and tasted just as good—though fair warning, the egg bowl is pretty heavy on the cheese.
Service was a little slow, but the staff was so friendly and accommodating that it made up for it.
