Honey-Jam Cafe Wheaton (formerly Butterfield's)

Got the “Sope Benedict.” This might very well be the BEST Bene I’ve ever had. Please don’t ever remove this from the menu. Truly a remarkable flavor combo! Well done!!!

For the price that a breakfast cost compared to the quality was not good and did not have the taste that well and there was issues with the bill

This place has really declined. Over cooked omelet for $18. I have been visiting this places for 20 years when it was butterfields. Such a shame. I won't be back.

★☆☆☆☆ **Disappointing decline in quality**

It’s really unfortunate that I’m writing this review, because in the past Honey Jam Cafe—especially the Downers Grove location has been fantastic from past experiences and I hadn’t dined at Honey Jam Cafe in a while, and this recent visit (Wheaton) was a huge letdown.

The food quality has gone really bad. Everything tasted bland with zero flavor, like it was slapped together using low-quality ingredients. Even the fruit looked and tasted stale and old.

Service was also mediocre, and that’s with the restaurant not being busy at all.

I won’t be dining here again, which is a shame because I used to genuinely enjoy this place. After reading other reviews, it looks like there’s a pattern with declining food quality and service, and unfortunately my experience matched that.

I have given this place tries as I like the vibe but not the food. Each time I have ordered well done scrambled eggs and bacon. Unfortunately each time my eggs were in a round circle and totally uncooked in the middle as you can see in picture. My bacon is never well done and hubby’s biscuit was super dried out. Yesterday our waiter never checked on us for a long time and did not rectify the situation. I do love their mugs and hot drinks! Sorry for bad picture but I had already put most of my breakfast in a box to take home to my dogs.

Good service and atmosphere, the spinach egg bacon crepes were nice. I had the Vietnamese coffee too, but it was watery and the condensed milk wasn’t stirred in when it was hot. It’s a little disappointing since I’m very familiar with the coffee, it came a bit rushed and makes me doubt whether to spend money on it again. Great place for breakfast though.

I find the food was just okay and overpriced! A family of four was $95.00 for breakfast not including tip. I felt like a sucker. The restaurant isn’t very clean and there was an unpleasant odor where we sat. The wait staff looked unkept.I wouldn’t go back and don’t recommend at all.

Disappointing experience overall. For a breakfast priced around $15 per plate, the quality was far below reasonable expectations. Most of the food appeared to be prepackaged rather than freshly prepared, which was both surprising and disappointing at that price point.

The sausage gravy was extremely thin and tasted as though it had been made with water rather than milk, and the biscuits were bland, lacking even basic seasoning like salt. Flavor and care in preparation were noticeably absent.

Service issues compounded the problem. Multiple orders were incorrect, and most concerning, a clearly stated allergy request was ignored. That is not just an inconvenience but a serious safety issue that should be handled with much greater care.

Between the food quality, pricing, and service errors, this was not a positive experience, and I would not recommend this place unless significant improvements are made.

Service was good. The waiter didn't do anything wrong besides not listen.

Negatives: The sausage gravy feels like either diluted packet mix or it was made with mostly water. The biscuits were flavorless and dry. The omelet was not as advertised and had mozzarella instead of Monterey jack. The only one who was happy with their food was the one who had prepacked, frozen chicken tenders and French fries.

Positives: eggs were cooked correctly. Coffee was pretty good.

Definitely not worth the money spent.

went to this honey jam last friday. experience started off well, server was friendly in the beginning then completely disappeared. we were ready to go and the server never showed. one of the circulating servers eventually asked if we needed anything. we said yes, we would like the bill. apparently, he gave us the wrong bill. we went up to the counter as instructed, and we paid for the wrong tab unknowingly. then server that was gone all of a sudden showed up when we were driving out. he said our table showed it wasn’t paid and told us to go back. he was able to chase us out of the restaurant but wasn’t able to get me a box. they embarrassed us, making us go back and acting like we didn’t pay, when the reality was that it was entirely their fault for giving us the wrong bill. we did pay. didn’t get an apology and got publicly humiliated, acting like it was all our fault when it’s their simple responsibility to give us the correct bill. i could see people staring and judging, they probably thought we hadn’t paid and tried to leave. actually humiliating.

Service was ok, atmosphere is what you'd expect from a decently updated breakfast spot. Star is the food. Been many times and anything we order from the kitchen is always great. The menu has a good variety, some creative options and a lot of classics with the right amount of side options so that most can assemble the breakfast they want. This past time, I got biscuits and gravy, two eggs over easy, with hash browns. All of it was perfect. My daughter is a chicken tender connoisseur and rates Honey Jam's as her second favorite. This place can get busy, but we did not have to wait for a party of 5; the dining room is large and there are many tables, though some can be rather close together.
