Bakin' & Eggs is a great spot to shake it up when it comes to bacon. They have five different kinds on their menu: maple pepper, jalapeño, honey, cherry smoked, and mesquite. Try one or try 'em all. Read more

The BLT stacks two slices of thick-cut bacon, two eggs, aged Cheddar, walnut and basil-pesto mayo, field greens and juicy tomato inside multigrain bread to delicious and satisfying effect. Read more

The black bear was delicious. Also southern comfort was great if you are looking for a stick to your ribs meal or bring a friend and split with one of their lighter options.

The Oatmeal latte was delicious. I highly recommend the chorizo frittata with apple chicken sausage. The cheese grits were a disappointment and the honey bacon didn't really have a honey taste.

It’s hard to go wrong with bacon, whether in a flight (five strips each coated with a different glaze) or in a creamy potato soup. Little brunch-lovers eat free on Thursdays with adult entrees. Read more

Get the bacon waffle, complete with bacon rum batter and bacon garnish. Get the flight of bacon as a starter. Don't like bacon? Go to a lesser place and contemplate your failed life.

Really love the breakfast burrito, cinnamon role, scones, and chorizo frittata. Don't like the way they do chilaquiles. They take brunch reservations!!!

Frittata was great, cheesy grits excellent, and the array of bacon is stupendous. Even the chai was tasty.

Smaller menu than expected but the cinnamon raisin breakfast sandwich was huge and delicious! Definitely worth the visit

Excellent food that's worth the wait. I'd tell you where the best place to sit is, but then everyone would know about it

O-M-G, Be prepared 1) to wait, but it is worth it and 2) a food coma after you had a piece of food heaven. Do the Bacon Flight and Do the Lovely French Toast.
Mark BJune 27, 2010
Love bacon? Then you have no excuse. Get the bacon flight for a taste of 6 different types. No frills, just 6 pieces of bacon. BLT is solid as well and comes with eggs cooked how you want it.

I had my first vist to bakin' & eggs for brunch, today. I really enjoyed the Bacon Waffle (although, I really could have had more than 1 slice of bacon.) If you haven't been to the spot, check it out Read more

What's not to love about brunch? If bacon-encrusted Gouda mac-and-cheese, banana bread French toast and a stocked coffee bar doesn't get you excited, you might have to check for a pulse.

They have a FLIGHT OF BACON!!! And they serve Intelligentsia! This place is just full of win.
Nel WittmannApril 16, 2013
Wonderful! Love that you get your coffee while you wait, very kid friendly and the food was amazing!
CarolDecember 14, 2014
Try the oatmeal latte! The veggie frittata left much to be desired unfortunately

The scalloped edges of their muffins, the notes of honey in their chocolate-chip cookies and of course, it always helps when a bakery also offers a bacon flight. Read more

Buttermilk pancakes and home potatoes are delicious. Make sure you get cheese on your potatoes.
Joanna SmithSeptember 9, 2013
It was good I had the bacon waffles. A tad bit on the trendy side but my pancakes were fulfilling!
Demond D EdwardsFebruary 4, 2012
This place is just awesome!! The whole wheat pancakes are amazing! The BLT looks like heavenly visions fog greatness

Choose the house potatoes instead of the fruit, you will not regret it!
Ross GuthrieDecember 30, 2012
Try the bacon flight. 3 of the 5 have a great flavor: the other 2 taste like bacon.
Lauren MeekAugust 9, 2014
Really amazing brunch, but they don't have any alcohol. Amazing coffee and lattes
Chrysta W.February 5, 2012
If you're a small group of 2, try to snag a seat at the bar. Just saved 25 min wait! Also. Great customer service at the bar! Can't wait for the food.
Mike TMay 27, 2013
Unremarkable menu. The waiter talking to the next table about the scars from prior tattoos was off putting. Sound travels well here. I could hear entire conversations from tables 40 feet away.
JohnNovember 13, 2011
Good food but you've gotta stand in a line 5 deep to pay your bill afterwards. Same line that sells coffee and pastries to the people who haven't eaten yet.
Stephanie RivkinMay 12, 2015
Awesome brunch spot. Especially great for bacon lovers.
Aniela TaMay 12, 2013
Croissant bread pudding French toast- best thing I have ever put into my mouth
Benjamin WestApril 14, 2014
Whole wheat granola pancakes with fruit compote. Do it.
The Dekadent DivaJanuary 29, 2012
Expect a long wait. Enjoy a pastry or capuccino. BEST cheese grits & chicken apple sausage! No eggs benedict tho :(
Craig ConleyAugust 31, 2013
The Southern comfort bowl is a must try. Very good. :-)
Max HowellApril 13, 2014
Great food. Long waits. Very loud inside. Recommended at off peak times.
Madison BJanuary 22, 2012
Yes there will be a wait but grab a seat and some coffee, it's worth the wait!
Leyla ArsanDecember 19, 2010
The best espresso machaito I've had in Chicago. He grinds the beans for ea individual cup of coffee. Outstanding.
Frank MooreApril 7, 2013
The jalapeño bacon really gives the burrito a great kick
Michael BinettiJanuary 1, 2013
Southwest frittata is awesome. Good cup of coffee, too.

The whole wheat granola pancakes are awesome - get the chicken apple sausage as a side! So good.

The bacon pancakes are excellent
dena jacksonJune 18, 2013
If you don't like rasberry jam, then bring your own. That's all they have. No grape no strawberry.
Hilda Audardottir- GoulayMarch 18, 2012
Get a cup of coffee when you first walk in. It makes the invariably long wait so pleasant
Eli HickoxDecember 14, 2015
Great variety of bacon flavors
Chellz @CoasttocoasterstudioNovember 8, 2017
Get the bacon flight.
Romily BridgesFebruary 16, 2016
The chilaquiles are amazing!
Lissette GonzalezJune 11, 2014
Delicious lovely French toast!
Claire MooreJuly 4, 2013
Bacon is delicious. Chicken sausage not so much.
Alan KercinikMay 8, 2010
Anything they serve involving bacon (the flight, the waffle) is delicious. But the hostess girl is a snot.
