You can't miss with their brunch menu, go pork hash if it's your first visit. BYOB, but you grab drinks from the Empty Bottle too.

One of the best brunches I've had in the city. Inexpensive + BYOB. I had the poutine and it was phenomenal: small cheese curds and a spicy, orange, bacon gravy ladled over fries with two poached eggs!

I enjoyed the sauce a lot, and liked that there was a lot of it. The english muffins were the thick, classic style and I wanted to the lather the sauce on every bite. http://bit.ly/1FS4RpP

The tomatoes on the grilled cheese are "cured" before between served with Wisconsin cheddar, smoked gouda, and provolone. The roasted flavor helps tie the sandwich with the tomato fennel soup.

This sunny cafe boasts a great selection of comfort food entrees, plus dishes more refined than you'd expect at your usual late night eatery, such as beef cheeks and Peruvian bay scallops. Read more

Sometimes you need a reminder of why brunch steeped in simplicity is a good thing. Their Eggs Duncan is a satisfying take on the classic benedict with a healthy serving of greens and two poached eggs. Read more

Perfect for a romantic date night with your boo or a 13 person BYO pre-game for the Big Freedia concert at the Empty Bottle next door, we’ve never had a bad experience. Read more

The have one of the tastiest brunches in the area! Always delicious. Tried the pimento cheese Benedict (add bacon of course 😆)

From the breakfast “mashbrown” (a genius combination of mashed potatoes and hash browns) to the crisp and juicy half-chicken with roasted garlic for dinner, the new food is simple and satisfying. Read more

The devious minds behind this brunch spot think they can throw perfect poached eggs on top of crispy poutine and call it breakfast? They could call it dessert and I’d still eat it any time of the day. Read more

I've always shied away from eggs Benedict because I don't like eggs, but they'll do it here with tofu & it is AWESOME!

This casually hip storefront offers plenty to chomp on, notably a delectable roast chicken, which may be partnered with Swiss chard and diced Yukon Golds or perhaps lentils and Brussels sprouts. Read more

BYOB and I've never eaten something here I didn't like. The bi bim bop is my favorite, and their biscuits with jam are amazing.

Always try the specials, they're always unique and are a testament to the talent in the kitchen. And get a malted milkshake...just do it.

the gnocchi is effen awesome. I could seriously eat that daily. I don't know what they did to their vegetables in the pasta but it was perfect. loved bite cafe!

The pulled pork sandwich could be served at any bbq restaurant in the country. So well-spiced and flavorful. The pork hash is also a beautiful dish.
JohnFebruary 9, 2014
Get the hash - and the Dark Matter coffee is delish. Drink it black.
Marios RigopoulosMarch 25, 2015
Best brunch place in Chicago. Everything was perfect and the staff possibly the friendliest ever

The Regular is an amazingly delicious breakfast sandwich! Highly recommend this place.

Bite Café's take on vegetarian Bi Bim Bop is simply amazing. Mind you, this is coming from a Korean.
Tina WeidenhammerAugust 22, 2014
I've been here now 3x, always love the small but we'll curated menu. My food is wonderful & my coffee cup never gets empty #leapliving
Jillian BurnickasFebruary 5, 2015
I like to call this place a hipster diner. Good food. Must try the challah bread dessert.
Ricky SherrillMay 8, 2015
Be sure to add some hash-browns & biscuits to your order. They are a must try.

Fish Friday is a treat. The stroganoff is a must for beef eaters. The lemon pound cake is the perfect ending.

Try the mashbrown from our 100 Best list: The search for the perfect hash browns ends at Bite, where a patty of skin-on potato mash is always fried to a golden crisp.

The best lunch item has to be the burger! And for $10 it's totally worth every penny.
Mark BurstinerOctober 19, 2014
Amazing French toast, eggs Benedict, and almost every hash is great
Heather DumfordJune 8, 2014
Two words: Pork Hash...best combination of flavors I've had for brunch in Chicago
GourmetLiveOctober 18, 2010
Open from brunch until dinner, Bite even offers some after-hours nourishment in the form of veggie burgers and falafel sandwiches—great for soaking up those extra beers after midnight.
Cassie GrafströmMay 17, 2016
We've tried a fair number of their breakfast items and all are delicious
Mike GonzalezJuly 23, 2013
Came for brunch during the week (served until 5pm) and there was no line and quick service :)
ChristopherFebruary 22, 2014
With the new heavy metal soundtrack and insane Horseshoe burger, this place seems to be taking a turn to Kuma's Corner
Vasu MirmiraMarch 22, 2014
Awesome! Not super kid-friendly, but great food and friendly, attentive staff!
ManbqueMay 18, 2012
Try their breakfast poutine. Whatever you order, get some Dark Matter BBQ sauce on the side. Manbque approved!
Jessica KinserSeptember 12, 2013
Had the char fish. Great mix of flavors with the cream, corn, and tomatoes.

Rec from a carnivore: tofu scramble!! Don't be distracted by all the beautiful hipster hostesses and waitresses.

Cute brunch place, and BYOB if you're feeling like A.M. bubbles
Leann RidulfoMarch 19, 2016
Good grilled cheese and tomato soup. Good mushroom gravy. Good fries.
Emily MelvinSeptember 16, 2011
Great breakfast. I die for the Poutine. Makes me wonder why everything is not smothered in bacon gravy.
Syng ShinJuly 1, 2014
Their bi bim bop was amazing. Highly recommended.
Carrie JeanMay 29, 2015
Tofu scramble, biscuits/jam, winter salad, BYOB, grab a mimosa from Empty Bottle while you wait for your brunch table!
Emily JurlinaAugust 13, 2014
The breakfast tacos are great. You can order them individually.
Marcelo PinNovember 9, 2013
