Nadia YassinAugust 11, 2012The male server we had was one of the best servers I've ever encountered. I'm Vegan, so they did everything to make us feel comfortable and have options. Delicious food, worth trying out.
Serious EatsMay 24, 2013Piggy Moo Cluck Sandwich: The house-made ciabatta is crumbly on the outside, almost like a biscuit, which adds slight crunch to each bite. But it's also soft and airy in the middle.
Chicago TribuneAugust 1, 2014Topped with fresh blueberries and a dollop of creme anglaise and coated in lemon sauce, these lemon pancakes will leave your mouth watering well after you've scraped your plate. Read more
Time Out ChicagoFebruary 14, 2012Dig into whole wheat–carrot pancakes, hearty omelettes and cool melon-ginger juice. You might be full, but don't leave empty-handed: Pick up the pumpkin whoopie pies, which kick cupcakes to the curb. Read more
Share the salmon hash and the lemon pancakes for a salty/sweet combo. Wash it down with an iced Vietnamese coffee.
Get the vanilla yogurt with seasonal fruit! Don't let the yogurt touch your plate - ensure that it goes from the bowl directly to your mouth to ensure you don't waste a drop of the yogurt.
Kimberly WolfsonFebruary 16, 2014I love to make my own omelet -- they have so many choices. For a healthier side instead of the potatoes, get the roasted tomatoes -- they are so good!
- Chicago TribuneAugust 1, 2014If your sweet tooth isn't satisfied by the end, browse the bakery display on your way out and take home a few seasonal pastries. Read more
- Time Out ChicagoDecember 6, 2011Try the carrot-whole-wheat pancakes from our 100 Best list: This cafe's changed the breakfast game with its tender, sweet and maybe (but probably not) healthy pancakes.
Katie Konrad SwansonFebruary 9, 2013Fluffiest omelettes! Not an easy thing to achieve. They even ask you if you want them soft or hard. I said medium and they came out perfect!
JessicaJuly 14, 2013Highly recommend the lemon pancakes. Not too sweet or heavy. And the piggy moo cluck sandwich is perfect for sharing
Joni LupoDecember 25, 2013Lemon pancakes were amazing. Don't forget to get it with a side of bacon! Damn good Bloody Mary too.
Sharif NassrMay 27, 2012Order the Ethiopian drip coffee for a bold and flavorful morning pick-me-up. Straight black, no cream. No liquor on Sundays before 12:00 p.m. C.S.T. : (
Definitely get the warm muffins for the table. The blueberry and cranberry muffins are amazing
Doug DavisJune 2, 2012Get the grilled tomatoes and maple glazed bacon. Perfect compliments to a great omelette.
Cary BlackFebruary 4, 2018Food is rather boring, burnt coffee. “Chocolate chip pankcakes” are nothing more than packcakes with some chocolate chips sprinkled on top. Chilaquiles are chips and some scrambled eggs.
If you have a little kid, they have special silverware for them to play with.
Great breakfast. Try the lemon pancakes with a side of the maple glazed bacon.
Kathleen ODonnellDecember 11, 2016Eggs Benedict with ham and spinach & fingerling potatoes.mmmmm good
- JessicaJuly 14, 2013Great food and coffee but beware, it can get very loud inside. Hearing people at your table can be difficult.
Juan GMay 27, 2013Nice place but unfortunately they completely messed up my omelet order. The waiter needs to accurately take the order, even after asking us twice to confirm. Definitely dissatisfied.
Radim SVOBODAJune 16, 2013If your group isn't full yet, they won't seat you at a table until you are complete. Is this NYC or what??
Monika McMahonJune 15, 2014Don't even bother asking for the piggy moo cluck without the bread. The chef refuses to serve that order.
