They don't accept debit and credit cards. I ordered a hamburger patty with my vegetable omelette. The hamburger patty was overcooked and hard to swallow.

Authentic and genuine family owned and operated diner! Lots of things made fresh completely from scratch in the kitchen, a rarity these days. Something for everyone on the menu for both breakfast and lunch. Cash only, so be prepared.

Green Bay Cafe is the crown jewel of Winnetka! You feel comfortable as soon as you walk in--not only is it adorably cozy inside, but the staff are very friendly and attentive. The breakfast skillets are so delicious! The food has a homemade feel but is well worth the price and better than any breakfast I could make at home. I highly, highly recommend Green Bay Cafe!

We love to try new local places when we travel, so we stopped in at this cute breakfast joint. Their menu looked promising with some unusual items like banana pancakes and chorizo breakfast burrito. That said, we stuck to the usual...scrambled eggs and home fries...corned beef hash...English muffins. And coffee. The food was decent, but not cooked to our liking. No soft or runny eggs, please; they were barely acceptable. The rest of the meal was good, but not outstanding! Friendlly and attentive service.

Very small, but food and service are great and nice ambiance. A cute spot for a weekend day.

Delicious. Cozy. I miss places like this. Bring cash!Kid-friendliness: I went solo this time but place was crawling w kids in a good way. Felt like being over to your cousin’s house.
Considering the reviews I had read, I thought this was going to be much better. The poached eggs were hard on the inside, they only have black coffee, and the food was overall very mediocre. They also only accept cash please be aware of that as it is only written on a tiny sign on the door!

Food was delicious, and this was such a pleasant cozy place to eat :) Just FYI for folks with physical accessibility needs, the bathroom is very difficult to get to so this might not be a great option for you.

This was my first time visiting the Greenbay Cafe. It is an intimate breakfast spot with counter seats and about 8-10 tables. It has a large variety of breakfast foods. I finally decided on the Tamale Flapjacks. Their coffee was very good, which is a key part of the meal. ☕️ The corn flapjacks were smothered in cheese with a side of salsa and sour cream. It was more than I could eat, so I took the rest home for later. The staff was friendly and the service was quick. I'll be back to try more of the menu.Note: Cash only, so make sure you have some bills on hand. ?

My husband and I just found this place last week and we've already recommended it to a couple people. The tamale pancakes were a noble try but not sure if they were correctly executed. Other than that everything else was life changing. The chocolate chip pancakes were everything. Fast and friendly service. Loved the simple and homey ambiance.
