Brunch Café

Here once again. …having the corned beef with Jalepeno cilantro soup this time. Friendly staff, great service and fabulous food. Must stop by.

Best breakfast in the area (not a greasy spoon) and good for kids. California crapes are a must! Gets really busy at times, but worth the wait.

This is what I have to say about Brunch Café, we’ve always been greeted by friendly staff. Our food is prepared faster than Jimmy John’s, reasonably priced. Food is delicious. And they allow scooter parking out front.

In the area for errands and found this little gem with the help of good old Unilocal!
They have a huge selection of things on their menus from pancakes to french toast to bennies to sandwiches and more! The more we looked at the menu, the more we kept changing our minds because everything sounded so good!
We started off with the strawberry mimosas! (Mimosas for breakfast, why not?! It was 5’o clock somewhere.) I’ve had them in other flavors but not strawberry, I loved these.
I went in with my heart set on french Toast since I have been craving some good french toast for weeks now! I couldn’t decide between which to get, but I ended up choosing the Stuffed French Toast which had fresh sliced strawberries, cream cheese stuffing, and topped with whipped cream. OMG! Let me tell you this one may be top 3 of the BEST french toast I’ve ever had! I pretty much demolished the entire thing! Highly recommended.
My cousin had the Florentine Bennie. I tried a bite and it was delish! She was highly satisfied with her choice as well.
As far as service, the waitress was nice and checked up onus frequently. And our food came out so fast, which was a plus since I was starving.
Even with the drive, we will definitely be returning to try other items on the menu!

Great food and great service. I visit family a couple of times a year and an go here often. You won’t be disappointed. The last visit we had Nicki and today Jessica, both are excellent servers. I eat out a lot and know good service and they are great.

I was here on Saturday morning, this place was packed. We probably had about 6 groups ahead of us. luckily the wait wasn’t that long, about 15 minutes. This place is nice and clean, overall the set up is good and the wait staff is very friendly. And now to the food, the menu is large, it will take you some time to decide what you want to order, if you can think of something breakfast related, they have it. I ordered the Garden Omelet with brunch potatoes, and the portions are massive. we could have just ordered one entry between the 2 of us. The food was amazing, really enjoyed it. definitely will be back.

Awesome breakfast. Went for blueberry pancake and stuffed waffle. The pancake was enormous.

Brunch Café was definitely just OK. I was disappointed considering all the amazing review this places has, but I just wasn’t that impressed. We usually stick to our local Bartlett favorite spot, but we were celebrating my sister’s birthday and wanted to venture out. I had their eggsquiste sweet potato skillet and it was pretty tasty. It comes with sweet potato tots, ham, apples, gouda cheese and ham. You get to pick which way you have your eggs so I opted for scrambled egg whites. I was pleased with my selection. My son got the chocolate chip pancakes which was a lot of food for a kid menu item.
I guess the reason why i’m only giving it 3 stars was because my husband kind of got ill right after we left… He got the south of the border and within moments of leaving he was just about sick to his stomach… He was very vocal that he was NOT a fan…
All in all, I probably wouldn’t go back because I’ve had better breakfast food, but the service here was outstanding. Our food came out super fast. Some advice — maybe get some flavored coffee creamer… I wasn’t a fan of their coffee… I think it was burnt.

The perfect place for a Saturday/​Sunday brunch. The strawberry mimosa was perfection!
Overall the service was great and the food was awesome! Highly recommend!

Great food, wait can be long on the weekends but its worth it!

Oh no, our first bad experience here, ordered stuffed potato pancake. It consists two large potato pancakes with cheese egg and bacon, When I got it, it looked ok on outside, after eating almost half thinking it tastes bad, I then looked closely and both pancakes were bunt on the side that wasn’t showing. Took forever for our waitstaff person to come back. Also we never got a side of pancakes for my friends meal. When she did come, and we told her about potato pancakes she says «oh I thought someone brought those to you». She did ask if I wanted something else but everyone else was almost done eating, so I said what about a couple of pancakes to go, she should have offered to comp the potato pancakes. And it took forever to get the two pancakes, she even said, «I don’t know why it’s taking so long»

After a grueling five hour drive from Cincinnati to Chicago, my boyfriend and I were dying to get out of the car and get something to eat. Unilocal directed us to Brunch Café. We were promptly seated, even on a busy Sunday morning, and our sever Nancy was fantastic. She gave us great suggestions and didn’t rush us. Their breakfast menu is huge! We didn’t wait long for our food-​all delicious. Ask about their daily specials. You can see how smoothly this place is run. If I lived closer, I’d come here every chance I got.

Large portions, great service and environment. Very creative dishes with vegetarian options. Could use a tad more seasoning :)

Every once in a blue moon my boyfriend and I will get the same mornings off of work. This is our go-​to place when that happens.
It’s always a busy place, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the joint empty. The service is excellent, always polite and friendly. There isn’t a long wait for the food either, which I like, seeing as I come STARVING every time. Their menu has a lot to choose from, even the picky eaters are sure to find something. Their portions are sometimes big enough for two people to share.
We’ve gone several times, and we have never had a problem with the food, staff or waiting periods. If it’s your first time coming here, I say give it a shot and enjoy! :)

Very good spot for breakfast. I have been here several times and no complaints. Look for longer waits on the weekend.

We come here very often.
The food and fruit are fresh.
The service is very good.
The coffee is strong.
They have a very good hot tea selection.
Although there are a couple things they could improve, they are minor things
While their brunch potatoes are good, I feel they could be improved.

Great breakfast place. They use real of the bone ham and the eggs Benedict are awesome.
We will be back

I learned of this establishment from family, and i’m glad I did!
We will usually go once a week for breakfast, but make sure to call ahead or make a reservation, because they are ALWAYS busy and on a wait during peak hours!
Delicious food, from the crepes, French toast, Belgium waffles, griddles, and omelets!

We walked into this place and the eating area is clean and well lit. The food is good and I had no problems with it. The reason I’m giving this place 3 starts is because of the service. We were seated when we arrived, however, there must have been some mis-​communication between the staff because we were not acknowledged for a long time. It took about 15 minutes for someone to approach our table and ask if anyone has taken our drink orders. Luckily, I was meeting my insurance agent and we had lots to talk about so the effect of what would seem like poor service was diminished.

The food here is amazing! The bronco scrambler special and waffles were soooo good! Great service experience as well. This was my first time here, and I will def be back again.

2 stars for this breakfast place. I frequent many restaurants for breakfast. Richard walkers, Wildberry, Egg Harbor, etc. This place wasn’t horrible but wasn’t great either.
Pros: Awesome service. Nice large mimosa (twice size of Richard Walkers for same price).
Cons: I ordered eggs over easy. Although the yolk was nice and runny, the egg whites were very overcooked. They were dark brown and crunchy; cooked on too high of heat. If you look through customer photos you will see how many of the eggs are burnt. You would think a breakfast place would excell at eggs. The breakfast potatoes were also sub par.
Overall, not a bad spot for breakfast but not a place I will be back to often.

Excellent breakfast and lunch… I enjoy it anytime I’ve gone

My favorite place for breakfast! My fiancé and I come here at least once a month. I love the skillets! I also like that they have flavored creamers for coffee!

Lots of parking
Greeted immediately
Quoted 15 minute wait
Seated in 15 minutes
Server showed up immediately with coffee
Nice menu selection
Food was great
Reasonable price
Server was friendly and attentive
Cashier was fast and friendly
Great place!

This place is phenomenal! Food and service are always perfect, however, if you’re in a hurry to be seated skip this place. They are VERY popular and weekends are slammed! It’s worth the wait if you can though.

Decided to go here for brunch on a Saturday morning, I was told there would be a 15 – 20 minute wait. We were seated on time (which was nice) and proceeded to order coffee, however, there was no skim milk. This was a bit disappointing but not the end of the world. Decided to order stuffed waffles with a side of fries and signature french toast with sausages. The food was great and fruits were fresh. The service is what determined my rating of a ³⁄₅. The waitress was nice, however forgot to ask if I was finished eating and proceeded to take my plate without my okay. I tend to be very protective of my food and did not take this lightly. Also, when my friend asked for a to-​go box, the waitress placed to box right on the food instead of off to the side, which obviously dirtied the box. If the service had been significantly better, I would’ve rated my experience a ⁴⁄₅ however it wasn’t.
I would eat here again only because the food is fresh and tasty, however I would only do so in hopes of having better service.

Whoa! I just had a breakfast that blew every part of my mind. Oh if I could only give MORE than 5 stars for this place. 5 starts doesn’t do this place justice.
Had this place bookmarked for quite a while, based on a recommendation from a friend. Decided to try it today, figuring that the new years crowd won’t be that bad. Came in with my wife, we were seated right away. Our waitress was extremely pleasant. All of the staff seems to be, which is usually a good sign (I watch too much Kitchen Nightmares).
Anyways, while my wife got the meat & potatoes skillet, I decided to be a little experimental as usual & try the sweet potatoe skillet, it just sounded good. Boy, I couldn’t have been more right! That was one of the most phenomenal skillets I ever had in my LIFE! Every ingredient perfectly complimented each other. Every bite was just an explosion in my mouth. The Greek toast was good too. I WILL return!

Love their menu and service has been great both times I’ve gone!
This time I got the Apple Gouda Melt and it was awesome! Sliced ham off the bone with melted Gouda, cranberry mayo on grilled apple bread is a seriously delicious combo. I will get that again!

Always good food and good service!
Call before coming in to add your name on the waiting list

Very pleased with the this place. The food and atmosphere are excellent. We visited on a Sunday morning (between 10 and 11 if I remember) and the place was packed. Be prepared to wait for up to 30 – 40 minutes. Yes, it’s that busy. I had the portabenny which are eggs Benedict on portabella mushrooms. Cool idea. Pancakes were good and we ordered two skirt steak skillets for our group. Everyone was happy and enjoyed the meals. Doesn’t happen often so five stars!

This is my go to place for brunch! Their menu is so expansive and everything I’ve tried so far is delicious. Highly recommend!

Great first time here!
1. Arrived before 8 a.m. on a Saturday morning and was seated immediately.
2. Mostly everything on the menu looked delicious but settled on the baked potato omelet for me and the breakfast burrito for The Man.
3. Our order seriously came out in 5 minutes. No joke. No exaggeration. The waitress simply chuckled at our surprise.
4. Both dishes were AMAZING.
5. Attentive waitress refilled our waters with no prompt and actually ASKED if we wanted our coffees topped off as opposed to taking it upon herself to ruin already-​perfected sugar to cream ratios
Bottom line is we’ve found our new breakfast spot. Farewell to our old standby «Max.»

There’s always a wait on the weekends but it does move fast.
The wait for a table is usually longer than the wait for the food.
*Must try the strawberry orange juice! So good!
As for food, I’ve been there many times and nothing really stands out.
I don’t have a go to. Everything is just okay.
*Red Velvet Pancakes– good but super sweet!

This is my favorite place to have breakfast. I always try today’s special and it perfectly satisfy me every time. Also server is great. They keep checking on us with coffee.
I highly recommend this place

Ok, yes, this place is the bomb! Starting with the staff. Lisa our waitress, I think that was her name. She was very nice and friendly and she always kept checking on us with fresh coffee. No waiting for anything. The coffee was very very good.
The food was very delicious. I love the fact that this place has some very different and interesting options. Would you belive they have Churro Waffles? They are amazing! My son had the kids pancakes with chocolate and bacon crumbs… so good… I asked to get the craziest option wich was Sweet Potatoes Tots. It was so so exquisitely amazing with cheese and eggs on top. I will definitely be coming here again and recommend it to my friends.

This is the spot for a good breakfast. Their dishes are unique while still keeping things traditional. I always enjoy the Portabella Benedict but the stuffed waffles are great. They have flavored creamer for your coffee but you do have to ask for it.
On the weekends the wait can get a little long so plan accordingly.

Thank you Unilocalers for helping me find this place. I went here after reading reviews. We went in on a friday morning and there wasnt any wait. We were greeted by our server and she brought us coffee right away. I must share that one of the cups she gave us was dirty, had orange lipstick on it, yuck! No big deal though, she brought a clean one right away.
So we looked over the menu and there were so many yummy things on it. I decided on the stuffed waffle. It was delicious! It was topped with powdered sugar and fresh strawberries. The inside had a pink filling with fresh strawberries and bananas, it was delectable. I was very happy with my meal. It was nice to see that they serve mimosas and bloodies too. I wasnt in the mood for a drink but I will for sure go back and have brunch along with a bloody soon. Check them out, you won’t be disappointed.
