Great place to stop for coffee and a bakery item. Fun salads and specials and I love their chicken sandwich with bleu cheese! Food is far better than the service, always feel like I'm bothering them

No frills breakfast and lunch cafe. Think breakfast panini, lox bagel, huevos rancheros. Nice outdoor seating when the weather cooperates. Good coffee and tea options as well.

Milk & Honey pickles its own sweet spears that are served alongside their sandwiches, but they're happy to throw in a couple of extras, and if you're hankering for a dozen, they're 25 cents each.

This sunny, friendly sandwich-and-coffee joint helps kick-start the day with countless baked goods and specialty coffees, plus an array of hearty options for when you feel like filling up. Read more

Decor, atmosphere, the menu, the food, the music. Perfection.

For those willing to indulge, try their orange brioche French toast or huevos rancheros. At Milk & Honey, you don’t need to wait until the weekends to enjoy brunch, which is also served Monday-Friday. Read more

Warm weather brings coveted additional patio seating at this overflowing Wicker Park breakfast and lunch fave. (That means more chances to eat the awesome baked goods.) Read more

Quaint place for brunch with quick service and an array of espresso drinks, the huevos rancheros were fabulous.

This is a favorite spot of local designer Laura Lombardi. She insists you have to try the homemade granola! Check out more about Laura and her designs at ofakind.com! Read more

Cheese Sandwich: In its simplicity--just six ingredients, bread included--lies oh-so-many layers of flavor.

If you're there for weekend brunch, get the Huevos Rancheros Casserole. It's baked to perfection.
Kristin LukowskiOctober 9, 2011
Huevos rancheros were amazing. Waffles had real cream -- real cream!!! -- on top. Not the most polite service but it's a do-it-yourself place so it didn't have to be.

Try the BLT made with extra-thick bacon and rosemary-and-thyme–encrusted roast beef. Be prepared to either fight your way to the front of the line or just head home with a bag of signature granola. Read more

This quiche is at least two inches thick, and the cauliflower, leek and Swiss cheese (fillings change daily) combine for a savory symphony. Read more

They always great soups, including chilled ones in the summer! Love their spicy pickles, too!
Melissa EFebruary 9, 2014
The spicy black bean soup is great! Nice and spicy. The ordering situation is a little weird and crowded though.

They have good breakfast and lunch options. Plus, I love their lavender cookies.

Breakfast panini is scrumptious. Grab some banana bread to go!
Ann Marie HankinsDecember 29, 2011
Food is good, great for families; but be careful... The kids oatmeal comes with nuts(it's not indicated on the menu) and could cause issues if you have nut allergies.
Patrick McDonaghApril 24, 2016
Good brunch! Make sure your whole party is there before trying to get a table

Black bean burger was a little mushy. Prefer it crispy. Black bean soup was to die for

This place makes you not mind waiting for coffee and food. Also the waffle and pancake specials are rad.

Delicious food and quite reasonable. My only complaint is that they are not open for dinner (other than during the summer)!

The Huevos Rancheros is the best breakfast in Chicago...period!
Ali RaizinOctober 21, 2009
The Bloody Mary at Milk and Honey is pretty generic apart from the topings. it comes with a cherry tomato, cheddar cube and an insanely good pickle (that only comes with the drink)

The avocado toast is my favorite dish!

Good food for breakfast and no wait.

The salmon made me and my roommate sick. Maybe it was an off day. It's usually really good.
Euphenia ChengDecember 27, 2009
Great coffe with their own blend from intelligentia bean. Awesome granola with yogurt, but my favorite is still the orange broiche French toast!!

Go on a Sunday after 1:30 to sit and arill grab breakfast.

Try the Butternut Squash Quiche - Divine and proper for Autumn!
Patrick McDonaghApril 9, 2016
Good breakfast spot. Won't seat you unless your entire party is there, but wasn't a big deal.
Lo BerghoffOctober 11, 2011
Sit outside on a nice day! Ice water and tea is self serve next to the cashier!

Everything tastes amazing but the employees are sassy and clearly have forgotten how to smile

Delicious sandwiches like the portabello, roasted tomato and spinach! Line moves quickly. Nice staff.
