Very cute little cafe. Scrumptious grub and the waiters and staff are very accommodating! Would highly recommend if you’re in Chicago!

Busy restaurant! We got so lucky to be seated right away! Servers were friendly! Our food came pretty quick with big portion! We love our food here. I got stuffed french toast with sourdough, it came with banana and walnuts. My husband got Polish sausage with egg and hash brown. Good spot for brunch and price is not pricey! Good price in the nice neighborhood!

We ate breakfast here 3 of our 4 days! Only didn't go the first day because we didn't know about it. Food was amazing. Super fresh, portion size was great and the wait staff was so good. Even the toast was good! I always think that is a true sign if a good breakfast place, when they take the time and care to even have good bread. The owner is incredible extremely friendly and wants everyone to have a great experience. If you are in the are this is a must visit spot.
