A big variety of unique breakfast dishes which is a nice change of traditional recipes. I opted for their special today, potato benedict. Looking forward to the fun of returning to create my list of favorites. Service was good with frequent coffee refills Will post a pic of the breakfast menu.

Love the ham here, it is juicy and fresh. Thick cut bacon, not the crappy kind people use in fast food places. Fresh squeezed orange juice, lots of different kinds of tea to choose from. Staff is always very friendly, food served pretty fast, place is nice and clean. Over all a great breakfast place.

Food was good as was service. Met a friend here for lunch and we were there way past closing time (We Were unaware). They never rushed us out or made us feel uncomfortable. I will definitely return.

We've passed by this place almost daily but never stopped in. We went there today for brunch and loved it! The place is bigger than what it appears from the outside and was packed the entire time we were there. We got seated right away. The service was great and the wait time for our food was not long at all. My boyfriend ordered the meat and potato skillet and half order of bisquits and gravy and I had the stuffed portabello. We both loved our choices but are anxious to go back and try more items off the menu. They offer a big selection and have lunch items available as well. I'd recommend this place!!

I live across from the brunch cafe and eat there often! The service is quick. The pricing is great . The wait is sometimes a bit long but that's what you get when you want good food. My only complaint is they only offer Breakfast Potatoes no hash browns and the bacon is extremely over cooked at times. Over all this is a great breakfast place.

I have lived in the Bloomingdale/Hanover Park/Roselle area for nearly a year and I have visited Brunch Cafe a number of times (usually once a month). To this day, my guest and I have yet to be disappointed by the outstanding service and food that the staff at Brunch Cafe offer. The food is always cooked to order and it exceeds expectations. The only downside to Brunch Cafe is the parking and waiting line. However, a gem like Brunch Cafe will always have a waiting line. People always return for a quality product and even better service. Keep up the good work Brunch Cafe!

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.

Thank you Yelpers 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.

I have been here more times than i am able to count and only once had anything ever gone wrong and it was promptly, & politely fixed by remaking my meal after the bacon in it had been burnt the first time. I took my whole family here, extended included and everyone loved it just as much as i did.

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.

Fail. We went in on Thursday afternoon around 1:30pm. Place was pretty empty, not surprised because they close at 2:30pm, so I'd guess normally people come to eat in early hours. I ordered a simple two eggs with bacon and pancakes, served with potato bites. Bacon and eggs were rather cold, it felt like they were pre cooked already, could have got better from a hotel bfast buffet. Friend's portella mushroom was nothing better, lots of cheese - which is unneccesary. Fruit was not fresh either, how difficult is it to serve nice and fresh fruit? Pancakes was ok in the whole meal. Rest are horrible. Latte was ok too, but i wouldn't want to visit this place again. Too bad and I have no idea how it could get 4 stars rating....

This place is packed on the weekends, and it's for good reason! Luckily they take reservations, so think ahead. Parking is also tricky, especially with snow mounds but it's all worth a great breakfast. Their menu is huge with unique options. I went with the sweet potato skillet which was unlike anything I've had before. The sweet potatoes were these mini dumplings at the bottom of a skillet with ham, apples and Gouda cheese! They top this one off with two eggs. Skillets are served with pancakes or toast, but the skillet was meal enough! Although this place was packed, our service was great and the food came out quickly. I would definitely recommend this place and will be back again!

Brunch cafe never disappoints. Ordered an ez cheddar, ham & tomato omelette which comes with two big pieces of rye toast & plenty of potatoes. The omelette was very tasty. The potatoes are decent, I like to add salt, pepper & butter to pizazz them up a bit. The coffee is very good. They do get busy Sat/Sun morning so expect to wait a bit. Definitely worth the wait! Only complaint today is that I ordered a side of sausage and did not receive it.

Good food, good service, nice location. Always seems to be crowded, which is a good thing. I've had the burgers here and the soups. Both are good. Staff is friendly. Only thing stopping it from getting a 5 star rating is while everything is very good, nothing blows me a way.

This is a good brunch spot - clean, comfortable, efficient, and fresh and reasonably priced servings. It was quite busy here at lunch time on a weekday, and I'm told it's always like that. They were quite quick with the food, and the coffee was good as well. We had their signature brunch french toast, which was particularly nice in that it wasn't too sweet on the toppings. We also had the meat and potatoes benedict which also was fine. It's in a newer strip mall, and they've been there 5 years already (I saw it develop over the years as I pass by here fairly routinely on an annual basis, and had't realized the time had flown by like that).

The best breakfast around! Great food, decent prices, excellent wait staff! Our food was ready so quickly I thought it wasn't ours! We are also a salt conscience family and the food was perfectly seasoned! Huge portions! The coffee was fresh and good! Our server Jessica was wonderful!! We will definitely be returning in the near future! Great for kids!!

Gave it another chance and to my extreme dissatisfaction, Brunch Cafe miserably failed, like they have over and over again. Once again, most dishes are near the $10 a pop mark, for breakfast, that's pretty expensive for the $H1T they are serving, especially when there is a wonderful breakfast spot just down the way. By the way, service is good here, never an issue with them. I really am not that complicated and I hate to be a pain in the butt (I am a server!), but I have never sent my food back in my life, until coming here the other day. We all ordered skillets, mine had the hash browns (or "brunch potatoes", non-crispy potato cubes) on the side because every other time I've been here my skillet is 85% potatoes. So, as a test I wondered what would happen if I ordered them on the side. When the food came out, my Mexican skillet was nothing but raw tomatoes, 1 slice of jalapeÃ±o ( I kid you not, 1 measly slice) and a 1/2 ounce of Mexican sausage; $8.99 Once again, the SAME ISSUE I've always had with this place, they screw you out of everything you order. Ok, fine, I don't want to be that person, right? I hate to complain because I know how annoying it is when people do but at this point I realized that they also hadn't brought out the salsa and sour cream that the skillet came with, acccording to the menu. So when the server retrieved it for us, I tried to eat my $8.99 meal again hoping that would make things better. Nope. After I ate the eggs, I just realized all that was left was grease and tomato juice (funny thing there was more grease than anything else in the skillet), so I sent it back, and ordered a side of scrambled eggs because most of my appetite was gone at this point. The best part of the meal was the bacon chocolate chip pancakes, as I've mentioned before in my previous review. The side of scrambled eggs I ordered tasted funny and I couldn't finish it. All of us weren't exactly satisfied with our food. It's just simply not worth the trip. When we got the bill, I wasn't charged for the skillet, but for 2 orders of side of 2 eggs scrambled. Ok, kind of weird to charge me twice for the eggs, but I didn't question it because I knew the girl was on her way out and didn't want to get her in trouble. Besides, seeing how cheap they are with what they serve people, like a skillet of potatoes and eggs for $10 bucks, I figured her cheap-a$$ manager told her to charge me for the eggs on my skillet in addition to my side. When I went to the register, the hostess asked "how was everything today?", to which I replied, "not good at all, actually terrible". She replied, "oh, was it the service or the food", to which I replied, "service was fine, it was the food." Her response was "oh sorry about that, $34.46 please..." Great customer service skills! Excellent. *sigh* What a waste of time and money; my family and I will never be back here again.

Very good breakfast place. Many many choices on the menu. I had whole grainier French toast with market-fresh berries-nothing to complain about. Some orhers made negative comments about slow service. Not this morning. Very positive experience.

Brunch CafÃ© is a place that I'd known about for quite some time prior to actually visiting. They're not too terribly far away from where I work, but unfortunately I start work so early in the morning I hadn't had the opportunity to actually stop by until I had a day off. Now, I hate to do this but having seen this place carrying a 4.5 star rating I admittedly went in with fairly high expectations. Now, there have been places I've gone to with similar high ratings and come out sorely disappointed, and I did have this in mind before stopping but considering how long I had been waiting, and how busy this place was. I was hyped. I walked in and was seated quickly, there was a reasonably lengthy wait before I was asked to order but admittedly they were rather busy. One other thing worth noting about Brunch CafÃ© is that the parking lot is a pain to get in and out of and I always get nervous in packed parking lots that I'm going to return to my car only to find a ding or a scratch. With plenty of time to study the menu before ordering I settled on a Steak skillet with pancakes as my side. From there I took a look around the restaurant. I am not the biggest fan of the decor here, but it wasn't as bad as some other places I've seen. Places that try too hard to look trendy irritate me like a mosquito bite and this place didn't quite go over that edge but I wouldn't say it was the most comfortable style atmosphere in the world either. One somewhat unique thing here is that there are coffee mug engravings carved into the chairs. It gives it a feeling more of a coffee shop than a breakfast joint though. But being a brunch place I guess it's a little of both. Finally my food was brought out, the skillet had nice moist and tasy pieces of steak in it, it was well cut up to get steak in every bite and had a good taste and consistency. The cheese, egg, mushrooms and onion were all nice. The potato was a little on the soft side and could have been a little crisper, but the quality fluffy eggs more than made up for it. Overall this was a fantastic skillet. Was it one of the best I've ever had? No, but it was very good. The pancakes here were nice and soft, the syrup here was thick and rich and had a nice overall flavor. I'd say these were well above average pancakes as well. I was very pleased with my food. Service here was a bit slow, but they were rather busy. The food was excellent, service was friendly. I am going to give this place a full five star rating and say despite having come in with high expectations I did not come away disappointed. If you're looking for a place for breakfast or brunch Then I know a good place with good food to munch What is this place? you might say? Well you should try Brunch CafÃ©

Came here for brunch and very impressed about the menu. They had so many things to choose from. Waffles pancakes burgers skillets Benedict toast. We got the apple toast, berry explosion waffle and steak skillet. The food is good. Service was good to. Will come back again to try something else on the menu.

I'm not really picky when it comes to brunch but there are a couple things that I prefer. One is fresh cream. The other is fresh jam. Both of these items were already waiting for me at my table when I arrived at 12pm so I'm going to have to assume they're not fresh, The place is big enough for a brunch place so they can turn and burn their tables pretty fast. We didn't have to wait long because we took advantage of their call ahead seating but even people that just walked in didn't have to wait too long. I ordered their mediterranean omelet and decided to try their creamy chicken and rice soup. The omelet was fine. It's eggs. There's not really any room for error. But their chicken soup was nauseatingly creamy. Not sure if it was the chance I took on adding the pre-packaged cream to my coffee, but I felt like vomiting. Other than that, the ambiance is nice and kitschy. If I come back, I'm staying away from the pre-packaged cream and creamy soup.

Great food and drinks, staff was very courteous and warm welcoming. However, the wait was absurd. The food quality did compensate for the wait though. We did have a couple complicated orders for our party and there were no mistakes which is a bonus. The staff itself was extremely speedy trying to compensate for the wait itself, but not overly fast in the matter which to rush you out your seat which was enjoyable.

I don't know why I didn't absolutely love this place the first time I came here (maybe they made some major improvements, or maybe I was cranky), but this is absolutely my favorite breakfast place now. I went to another location, not realizing it was related to this location, and fell in love. When my family came into town, I wanted to try this location again. It did not disappoint! There was a bit of a wait (they will announce your party over the loudspeaker, but it's hard to hear inside - you can wait outside and hear it better). There aren't many places to sit and wait (it's a pretty small place). Luckily it didn't take too long and we were seated at a booth within 20 minutes. The service was great, the atmosphere is cozy and clean, and the menu is my favorite part! So many things to choose from, and many of the items are unique that I have not seen at many other places. We ordered the California crepes, lemon poppy seed crepes, and the Mediterranean omelette (I'm still regretting not getting the stuffed potato pancakes). Everything tasted great - we were hungry so we devoured it. I can't wait to go back!

Following a jam packed funeral service at St. Walters' church this week, my guy took one look at me and was at a loss. But when we lost a close family friend, not to mention, the most wonderful little Irish priest, he decided to console me with food. Out of no where we became part of a large convoy, swathed in black, en route to a wonderful spot: the Brunch Cafe. Once there, we waited a good 35 minutes, but were rewarded with a couple of wonderful cups of coffee. The nice thing about exceptional coffee is that after a couple of draws it's pretty cathartic. Our server was awesome; efficient and unperturbed at the mob scene beginning to form. Fortunately, my guy knew what he wanted pretty fast. The Bennies here are wonderful and come fully loaded: you have a pretty big plate of food. He chose the Portobennie: mushroom, goat cheese, onion, pepper, and wonderful seasoning over 2 poached eggs, with a side of chorizo sausage. There is plenty to choose from at Brunch CafÃ©; though we love going out for breakfast, their lunch options are equally amazing. But I picked the Lemon Poppyseed Crepes. This delicate and delish entrÃ©e comes with giant blackberries and kiwi. It isn't too sweet and it's got a touch of vanilla. The atmosphere is kind of warm; with a lot of burgundy and bright jolts of color here and there. As we got going with the food, we smiled about all the great things our little Irish priest had done. Our plan was to have him marry us and bury us! But in the end, the Brunch CafÃ© did exactly what it needed to do by providing a wonderful brunch in great surroundings to let the healing begin. Awesome!

Wow. Fantastic. This establishment is a professional regarding brunch time cuisine. It took us a good while to even make a decision as to what to eat because EVERYTHING looks so darn FABULOUS. Additionally, I found myself flipping through all 117 pictures posted on Yelp of the different entrees while we waited for our booth. The traditional choices were there... but with a fun flare and creative twist. I finally narrowed things down to the Signature French Toast and the Flourentine Eggs Benedict... because they were so heavily raved about on Yelp. The waitress was super cool and asked if I was interested in playing some brunch roulette. I said, "yes !" The hubs ordered the brunch chicken and the FIL ordered the Reuben. A quick 15-20 minutes later I covered my eyes and POOF a glorious plate of Signature French Toast with strawberries, kiwi, and vanilla infused icing was placed in front of me, ready to be devoured. Not a bite was spared. This place is PERFECT for brunches, delicious food, a family meal, and an opportunity for a good time with great food. Cannot wait to go back!

For a while, Brunch Cafe had been on my Bookmark list for 'places to try' and I'm disappointed and ashamed that I let it linger there for so long. Had I known what I was missing I might not have let it sit idly pending, but the past is the past. I loved it. In previous years, I've had a personal Quest for the Best challenge, and one of the criteria was Best Eggs Benedict. I mention this, because the BC was the catalyst to resurrect that challenge...however it's going to be extremely difficult to find a contender to compete the Brunch Cafe's solid, top spot on the list. The decor is modern, and cozy; It's got the charming bustle of a diner; and the menu is impressive. Tea drinkers should be pleased with their 'tea board' which offers small samples of the blends they offer, so you can interact with the tea before making a blind selection based on the name (it's a nice touch). I guess the Scrambler plates leave something to be desired, but one cannot help get food envy when a scrambler is delivered side by side with the eggs benedict. Needless to say, I'm a fan. I've recommended Brunch Cafe to friends and family (and a stranger once which was a little awkward, but oh well) so I'll certainly be back for more. Honestly though, it'll be very tough to try something new knowing what I know about the eggs benedict. [Side note: How many times can I fit 'eggs benedict' into a Yelp review? The answer is apparently 4]

This place is good. Not amazing, but definitely, solidly good. I've been here a variety of times. Service is always very pleasant, quick and kind. Big plus. The food is a bit hit or miss. I love their waffles with fresh berries. Delish. But my mom asked if they made their own hollandaise sauce, as she was contemplating getting eggs benedict. I was like, mom, of course they do. This is a brunch restaurant, and hollandaise is easy to make fresh. But we asked our waitress, she checked with the kitchen, and nope! Really?! To me, that was very off-putting. What else comes out of a can here? If you can't get fresh, homemade hollandaise sauce at a brunch cafÃ©, what do you have to do? Clearly this really bugged me. Anyway, I digress. Overall the food though is tasty. Not a bad option.

Amazing breakfast place that we go to already once a week. Our all time favorites are the sweet crepes, you can't go wrong with the strawberry banana crepes. Menu offers a ton of options, both for breakfast and lunch. Waitresses are always very sweet and the place has a great atmosphere.

Went here for St. Patrick's day (my bday) breakfast around 10am, and perfect timing. No wait, no crowds. Read great reviews here and wanted to check this place out. First off, our waitress was very friendly and helpful in answering our questions about what was 'popular' and her recommendations. Service was outstanding also. Came with 2 friends who ordered the caliente omelet (this was enormous and looked like what an omelet should look like, big and fluffy ). She said it was delicious! My other friend and I both had the south beach scrambler. We tried a side of biscuits and gravy, biscuits were very tender and fresh, sausage gravy was tasty and not greasy or heavy. I enjoyed these! South beach scrambler has spinach, bacon and avocado with melted montery jack cheese. This was good, but I assumed the avocado was on the side and not in the scrambler (bad assumption). I love spinach, and like avocado, but the avocado was a little too overwhelming for me as there was a lot of it in the scrambler, lots of spinach too, but that didn't bother me. Avocado can be a bit heavy so I would have preferred less and couldn't even finish half of my order. Brunch potatoes were pretty simple and could have been served warmer. We tried a side of buttermilk pancakes also and these were pretty good! Everyone commented that they tasted something sweet in the batter...not sure what it is, I'll have to ask the waitress next time. They were decent though. Kindof of creamy, but fluffy...these were different. Next time I would try the omelet or eggs benedict, lots of menu options.. I will be back though. Our food was served in less than 10 minutes!! No lie!! Super fast, attentive service. Kudos to our waitress, she checked on us constantly!! Very impressed.

Came in as a recommendation from my coworkers. The nice lady in the front led me to the left of the restaurant which is a little add on to the other piece of the dinning room. ,2 booths and a few other tables. It took around 5 minutes for my waitress (lynette or nicolette) to come and acknowledge me. She came back with the drinks for my daughters right away though. Took my order which was steak skillet with pancakes and choc chip pancakes for my daughter.. it took around 10 mins which is not bad at all. My butter was hard as a rock I had to take the butter from a table that had just left.. After running my food my waitress never came back (until she had to drop my check). My daughter had to get our boxes I noticed everyone that was sat there had to long before being acknowledge. Food was very good which is why I will be back.. maybe next time I won't be sat in the same spot... HOPEFULLY!!

Love this place! Everytime I go here, im always leaving fully satisfied. A little pricey but its worth it. 4 stars because one time I was here, we were totally forgotten by the waitress. Communication needs improvement. Otherwise, highly recommended!

Found this place using Yelp. I wish I would have taken pictures, because the food not only looked delicious, but also tasted delicious. I got the Irish skillet and substituted Swiss Cheese for American and chose pancakes as a side. Both were above the standards I was thinking i'd get. Very fresh ingredients. The standout on the menu, however was what my fiance ordered. She got the breakfast quesadilla. Huge portion was was loaded with eggs and all the fixings. We also noticed a lot of people were ordering this dish.

I came here about a month ago, on a weekend, no reservation (didn't know they took them!) and waited quite a long time, but it's clearly VERY popular. Family place, pretty noisy. Food was very good. I had a simple vegetarian type omelet with fruit on the side. Only reason for 4 stars was waiting and noise. But some people like a boisterous atmosphere during brunch. Will probably try again, with a reservation.

Very underwhelmed. I had heard great things about this place, but fail to see the allure. I went there with my two children, found it to be overpriced with okay food. The place was packed so service was slow. One adult and two small children cost almost $30? We won't be returning any time soon.

This place never disappoints. They know how to move through a holiday weekend breakfast crowd and still manage to give you good food and great service. This skillets are usually my dish of choice, but the apple bread French toast is awesome too.

Okay, I'm updating my review to 5-stars. I've spent more money here (over the years) than at any other restaurant. That's got to say something, especially since it's a breakfast/lunch place, and we're not dropping $100+ per visit. I've literally only had 1 or 2 dishes here I didn't really care for (I've tried almost everything on the menu...literally), and that has more to do with my tastes -- no fault of Brunch Cafe. If it's your first time visiting, may I suggest: -Stuffed potato pancakes -Ay Caramba or Caliente skillet/omelet -Just about any French Toast offering -- if they've got one on special, go with that. You get eggs and bacon or ham -Berry Chicken Salad (really good, especially when berries are in season. The pretzel roll is delicious.) -Sweet Potato Skillet -Apple Gouda Melt If you're getting a breakfast dish that comes with pancakes, sub for the multigrain pancakes. They add cinnamon to the batter and they really come out great. I give my wife a hard time about going to eat here almost every Saturday we're in town (I like to try new places), but I never leave hungry or unsatisfied.

Took my toddler for a Brunch date.. Great service .. Even better food.. I tried the breakfast sliders with potatoes on the side .. Waitress recommended to get them crispy if you like it that way .. Which was great.. Got my daughter the French toast for kids.. Which came with cool whip , syrup and a cup of strawberries & banana slices ln the side .. Really good .. Good food.. Glad to have found another breakfast place with good food ..

Cannoli Crepe. I'm going to give you a minute and let that simmer. It was as rich and delicious as you would expect, without being overly sweet or filling. A cannoli crepe special included one thin vanilla crepe lightly stuffed with cannoli like cream and a few chocolate chips, topped with pistachios, your choice of eggs and bacon. It took me all of .6 seconds to decide on my meal. BOOM. Hubs enjoyed a massive breakfast burrito and the little one was more than happy grabbing handfuls of scrambled egg and diced potatoes. While I didn't really get to see too much of the restaurant, I have to tell you why... We waited for 20 minutes for brunch on a weekend (no surprise there), but once we ordered our food came out in less than 10 minutes. They really, really know how to turn tables here. And they don't turn 'em and burn 'em, they just get your food out quickly and with a friendly smile. Cannoli crepe, guys, it's what my dreams are made of.

Good food...horrible and unfriendly service. The staff was cold from the get go. They seemed annoyed with the world and were not welcoming. At the end of our service (paying the bill) they didn't say a word. I believe they were mad because we stayed a bit longer than expected. We eat slow and and we had a good conversation going. It's Good Friday! Relax a little and smile. Tables were constantly available. I don't think we were keeping you from making more money. No worries....I won't be come back and will definitely not recommend it to anyone.

Best breakfast around. My family likes coming here on Sunday for breakfast my friends like coming here on girls days out. They are very friendly. I get the California crepe or the south beach omelets. My dad gets the stuffed potato pancakes. My mom gets the stuffed baked potato omley. My brother gets the breakfast burrito. My sister gets the lemon poppy seed crepes. Everyone loves this warm comforting breakfast place. I came for lunch and had the tuna melt and my friend had the burger. Yum. So great this is a place you can go to days in a row. The kids ket the berry bowl it has a tasty cream sauce on the side with raspberries strawberries and blue berries. Go today.........

Pretty solid spot for breakfast. They have all you could want and then some. The decor is pretty standard for a breakfast/lunch spot and the staff is friendly and VERY speedy! This is always a go-to spot for breakfast and will remain so in the future. We'll come back again.

we've moved into the area now and this place is pretty much around the corner and the reviews were pretty good so I swung by. The place was simple but not in a bad way, just enough to make it home like. the staff rocking bears gear made me happy. Food was fast and delicious, I will try more of the menu because there were so many choices but only one stomach to feed. Also they have $2.50 shots of espresso which I dig but will have to venture into the reg coffee next time.

This place is really on a downward spiral. I used to love coming here for breakfast, but sadly the last few times I've left with sheer disappointment. On my last visit the service was terrible. The waitress brought our food and was just plain rude. I asked her for a straw for my sons juice and she flung it on the table. The girl never checked if we needed refills on our drinks and never even came back to the table until she brought our check. She just dropped it on the table and didn't say a word. I ordered the breakfast burrito it was mediocre at best. My potatoes were cold and there was hardly any filling in my burrito. There are several breakfast places in the area, it's safe to say this was my last time here.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, how have I not written a review for this already? Hold the freaking phone, that's not possible!!!! I *love* me some Brunch Cafe. I love the ambiance, the speed of the food, the QUALITY of the food, the variety of dishes, and I think it's awesome how they have their specials actually on display when you walk in. Not on a piece of paper, but on actual plates so you can SEE them. It makes for a very appetizing wait (if there is one). And if there IS a wait, WAIT. It's worth it! On my most recent trip, I ordered the veggie omelet, my daughter got the french toast sticks, my son ordered the eggs and bacon--which came w/ surprise hash browns!!, and my husband got the cinnamon roll french toast. All.of.it .was.amazing. I don't think there's a thing you could order at The Brunch Cafe that would be bad! They're quick, friendly, and they provided a to-go cup for my husband's coffee. Talk about service! We will be back again and again!!

This place. Oh this place! I came on a Sunday afternoon for breakfast with my boyfriend. I read the reviews and expected there to be a wait. We were seated within 30 minutes. We were able to hang around outside because the host calls names over a microphone and there is a speaker outside (score!) I hate being packed like hungry sardines in the waiting area of restaurants. Once seated, we were pleasantly overwhelmed by all the awesome options before us! The menu looked and sounded all so delicious! There was a lot I wanted to try. I opted for the South Beach Scrambler (scrambled eggs, monterey jack cheese, spinach, bacon, avocado) served with a side of brunch potatoes and blueberry pancakes. My man ordered the churro waffle with bacon and brunch potatoes. The food was amazing. The scrambler was delicious! Next time, I will probably ask for them to go light on the cheese (the entire top was covered in melted cheese. Don't get me wrong, I love cheese, but I am also trying to be somewhat conscious of fat/calories LOL!) The potatoes were seasoned well and the pancakes were delicious. I was hoping for a bit more blueberry glaze (they seemed to just be topped with a handful of blueberries and only had a dabble of the glaze). But they were still fantastic and fluffy! My boyfriend absolutely lovely his churro waffle. This wouldn't be something that I would think to order. He let me try it, and oh Lordy - FANTASTIC! It reminded me of a funnel cake from Six Flags. He was head over heels in love, and he isn't too vocal about food (meaning, it has to really be amazing for him to comment on it AND to say that we will definitely be back to a restaurant). He said that he plans to get two of those waffles next time haha! The bacon was also crispy and thick. Our waitress didn't chat us up much, which is fine, we were so hungry that we just wanted to order and get our food haha. I was very happy to have my diet coke refilled each time before it was completely empty. I was thirsty, so I pounded through a few of them. She kept them coming and that kept me happy. Not overly friendly but extremely attentive, and that honestly matters more to me. Keep our drinks filled and check on us every so often. That's all I need! If I had to make one comment, I would say that the portions are a bit smaller than most breakfast places. I almost never finish my meal from Wildberry and similar establishments. I was able to finish all my food with no discomfort (same with my boyfriend). I like leftovers so I wish the portions were just a big bigger. We will most definitely be back here and I cannot wait to try something new and delicious from their menu!

This place is GREAT! Amazing food, nice staff, good atmosphere. I've been here several times, there is always a long wait to be seated, but WELL worth it. I've tried several Breakfast, Lunch, Brunch cafes in the area and NONE compare to this one. It's my go to place.

Rosanna L.

My brother has raved about this place and I'm a huge breakfast girl so I couldn't deny it any longer. Sunny side, scrambled, over easy, any style eggs and I'm all yours! Sunday brunch time was busy, but a wait for 4 was only about 15-20 minutes, awesome, because I was starving! The menu reminds me of Yolk, the font, the style, hmmm something I should know? So many options, where to start? French toast? Waffle? Skillet? Omelettes? Ugh someone help me!! I wanted one of everything! Okay Rosanna be realistic here! Okay, okay I ended up going for the biscuits and gravy, 2 sunny side eggs, waffle, and wheat toast. Dang girl you can eat! I sure can with the help of my gang. The waffle ( yelp.com/biz_photos/RGZ7â€¦ ) was fresh and had a crunch to eat, loveee. Biscuits and gravy ( yelp.com/biz_photos/RGZ7â€¦ ) was pretty good, but I've had better, maybe a thicker sauce. I also got a taste of the red velvet french toast ( yelp.com/biz_photos/RGZ7â€¦ ) and boyyyy was it sweet! For you sweet tooth! It's good, but I'm not a sweet breakfast kind of girl, give me my eggs! If you're a meat lover get the steak skillet ( yelp.com/biz_photos/RGZ7â€¦ ), juicy and tendert!!! Enjoyed our brunch, had good service, we might be back, if you were closer we definitely would be back. See ya Brunch.

My husband and I went there on a busy Sunday morning but were seated within 15 minutes. The waitress greeted us immediately and timely took our order. The crepes with avocado, spinach, bacon, cheese and topped with hollandaise sauce were delicious and I got two nice size stuffed crepes, one of which I took home and ate later as a snack. Would definitely go back. Menu had a lot of things I'd like to try.

I was craving for a good brunch on last Saturday's and thank god I found this place . Me and my husband drove for 30mins to reach there and then 10mins waiting for seating but this was worth it .I loved my egg skillet. it was just perfect, the way it should be.

Jessica P.

I came here on a Saturday morning with friends and was seated immediately.. The menu has a lot of options whether you are craving a sweet or savory breakfast/brunch.. Food - I ordered the California crepe and it was delicious...the crepe tasted a little sweet as well....the portion of the crepe that I ordered was huge..my friends ordered the south of the border, Ay Caramba!, and an exceptional with Canadian bacon (I think it was a little tough to chew and salty a little but I guess that's what Canadian bacon is like)...we all enjoyed our meals and had leftovers to take home...we were definitely very full as we left the restaurant --Dessert: we ordered the Bananarama Pancakes..it was good, but we could barely taste the graham crackers.... Service - nice service.. Atmosphere - nice to come with friends or family

Brunch Cafe has been on my must eat at list for a long time now. Unfortunately, I wasn't particularly impressed with my visit. I ordered the signature brunch french toast, which is soaked in vanilla bean custard, baked and topped with kiwis and strawberries. Overall, it was just OK and I did enjoy the flavors. However, I felt like it could have been presented and executed better. First, more vanilla bean custard could have been drizzled atop the toast. I could have dipped the pieces of my toast that I ate without fruit into it and it would keep the toast moist. Second, the amount of fruit I got on top of my toast was super skimpy. There were countless times where I found myself eating just the toast without any fruit at all. Third, the sides of the plate had a berry sauce on it. I don't know if that was meant as a decor or garnish. It tasted good and more of that would have been nice. My boyfriend ordered the Mardi Gras scrambler, which consisted of scrambled eggs, andouille sausage, spinach, oven roasted tomatoes and provolone cheese. It was also served with their brunch potatoes and a side of wheat toast. Overall, he found his meal to be just OK. However, he absolutely did not enjoy the potatoes since they were too mushy. I tried them and I agreed. They were seasoned OK, but the mushy texture ruined it. Service wise, it too was just OK. It took us a while to get a server. Also, we never got any water with our meal. Halfway through our meal, our server noticed this, acknowledge it and said that she would bring us some water, but she never did. It wasn't like we needed it, but it's pretty standard to get a glass of water when you go out to eat. However, she was good about refiling my boyfriend's cup of coffee and giving me more hot water for my tea. Their tea selection is wonderful and they give you a board with several different small jars of tea that you can smell before making your selection. Unfortunately, I left underwhelmed and I definitely would not make a special trip to come back.

Excellent service, but unexciting food. Big chunks of barely cooked potatoes in the skillet, but minimal amounts of meat in it. Sent coffee back twice before I got a hot cup. All these high ratings, maybe I ordered the wrong thing. But I'll go with once wiser, twice the fool.

Connie L.

Brunch Cafe is my default place for brunch because it's the best place in the area whenever I'm craving an omelette. The staff have always been friendly and are good about checking up on my table. The food comes out relatively fast and the portions are large. I typically leave with a food baby.....and then I go into a food coma shortly afterwards.

You know what really started our visit off on the right foot? Our wonderful waitress Micky. She was sweet, attentive, personable and witty - such a pleasant breath of fresh air early in the morning! The first thing I realized was that SO MANY things sounded amazing! However, we ordered the biscuits and gravy for him and the aye caliente skillet for me. Mmmmh yummy skillet.. crispy potatoes, creamy melted cheese, sweet tomatoes, onions and jalapenos mixed in with great chorizo and topped with scrambled eggs. A side of pancakes, homemade salsa and thick sourcream. Though the red salsa was extremely fresh and tasty, be sure to ask for the salsa verde - this was my favorite out of the two. The chorizo was good, not fatty at all which I like. It seemed a little heavy on cumin, which made it vaguely remind me of middle Eastern cuisine. Heavy cumin is totally fine with me, though! The biscuits and gravy were thoroughly enjoyed as well. Plenty of sausage bits to be found in the gravy and fresh, flaky biscuits underneath this magical goo. I spied some amazing looking pieces of bacon on our way out, and will be sure to order a side of it next time! Micky told us that the kitchen has 6 daily specials, 3 for breakfast and 3 for lunch except on the weekends when there is 2. The chef is a creative mind (just look at the menu and try not to drool!), whom values fresh ingredients and a homemade endresult. And so do I!

Although it is always busy, this place is so good! We've had many things on their menu and all we have liked! Black and white pancakes are good, so are blueberry bliss. Apple French toast was very good and so are the skillets. My favorite is the ay caramba-different but in a good way. All the dishes always look pretty and I can't say I've had a bad thing here! Great service too!

Perry S.

I have eaten and many breakfast/brunch restaurants and I have never found one better than brunch cafÃ©. I have probably been there 20+ times and they have never failed to provide fast service with food that is delicious. I can honestly say I have never had a bad meal there be it the eggs,crepes, salads or sandwiches.

I took my 89 yr old aunt to this place on Labor Day. We had to wait about 15 min but it was worth it. Great service- people seem to know the owner and staff so it has a following. I had the stuffed potato pancakes-best breakfast I have had in a lonnnggg time and I had enough for two meals. My aunt had the berry creeps and those were delicious -lots if fresh berries. The coffee was excellent; quality food; fair prices. Decor is pleasant-clean. Flowers on tables. I will definitely return and recommend this place to anyone in the area

The menu here is incredible! Such a variety of breakfast items, it's hard to pick what to to try. Plus they always have a new specail. Although, you can never go wrong with bacon, chocolate pancakes. Always enjoy my food here! Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it's a mad house to get in.

Paul K.

Good service, good food, and BUSY!! I had the 3 meat omelet. Can you guess the meat? OK I will tell you bacon, sausage, and ham!! What a surprise. My omelet was cooked perfect and potatoes, toast, and coffee was all good. I would say if you are in the area drop buy and enjoy.

I've been going here on and off for a few years, since long before I started Yelping. It's a good place with some nice twists on brunch classics. Solid option if you're in the area and feel brunchy, though it's definitely crowded if you go during weekends. I decided to stop by Saturday because I was starving and had some work I needed to get done. They have free wifi, so hey -- multitasking! Love it! I had an Ay Caramba! skillet and a caramel latte. Although there was a line of people waiting to be seated, one nice thing about brunching by yourself is that it's more likely you will get seated right away. All those groups need bigger tables, you see. That means the tiny tables that only seat two are all open and lonely, and just waiting for a one or two-top to get seated there. I even had a window seat! :) The Ay Caramba! skillet tastes like what would happen if huevos a la Mexicana and chorizo and eggs had a delicious baby. I ordered it with Greek toast, eggs over easy, so I could smear my toast with jam and stab my egg yolks with it. (Yes, I do have a thing for egg yolks, and I'm not ashamed of it.) So. Tasty. Just enough spice, and that skillet comes with salsa and sour cream on the side. The chorizo was properly drained, too, so there wasn't a gigantic pile of grease when I was done -- just a nice little sheen like you always get with chorizo. Good times. The caramel latte was also delightful. My server was friendly and efficient, even though it was one of their busiest days of the week. Good place.

I have gone here a few times and its always hit or miss. Sometimes the food is great! However, the other half the time they mess up my order completely and never seem to care. If they could just work on their consistency, this would be the best spot to have brunch.

I have visited Brunch Cafe a few times now and I am sold. This is a great spot for breakfast! Expect a wait, it's gotten a reputation for a good place and it sees all the crowds. Cannot say I have been disappointed by the service, food or atmosphere at all. I have recommended Brunch Cafe to several of my friends and the rest of my family, who all now love going as well!

We keep coming back to Brunch again and again! Worth the wait, service is quick and friendly. Great menu with a lot of options. We have tried several other breakfast spots in the area (Bloomingdale cafe, Dino's...) and Brunch remains our favorite.

Love this place. Every time I go here I leave so full and it doesn't kill my wallet. All the food is cooked well, it's always clean and the service is great. If you go on a weekend morning expect a wait. The south each scrambler is fantastic - although you can't go wrong on this menu. Always bring people in from out of town and they always leave impressed.

Rick M.

My favorite breakfast spot! It's been a sunday tradition of mine to try out different places for breakfast and this is the spot. The waits are long as it's not the biggest place but the wait is worth it. Gluten free pancakes is a rare option as well. The only reason for not giving it 5 stars is the price.

After coming here multiple times, today will be my last. We purchased a living social deal a few years ago for here that we never used. The fine print says the paid value did not expire until 2016, so we finally decided to use it today. The hostess refused to let us use it despite the fine print right in front of her. She called the manager, George, who said in a jerk tone "this expired 3 years ago buddy." We AGAIN explained about the fine print and pointed directly at it. He responded by saying he never knew that (smart business owner to not read what you sign up for...) and threw my fiancÃ©'s phone on the counter. This was in front of multiple customers and we were embarrassed even though we were correct. He was such a jerk about it and clearly did not care about our business, which he's now lost.

Great experience! Food was delicious. Had the Ay Caramba Skillet with salsa and sour cream. What I really loved was the many choices of tea! Ahhh that got me so happy. I didn't know which one to choose! I ended up getting Lemon Green Tea, it came with honey and lemon on the side. The server was super sweet amd very attentive. Will totally go back!

Erin L.

I met some girlfriends for brunch here and was impressed! Their menu was a mix of traditional and more unique items. One of my friends got chocolate bacon pancakes. They were delish! I got this mexican skillet but it was put on 3 mini tortas - unique! The coffee was a little weak for my taste - but I love me some STRONG coffee. One of my buds got a bloody mary with a huge celery stick and one got hot tea. They had an impressive variety of teas. But when they brought it out, it was served with Smuckers honey in plastic containers....kind of strange. This place is a little more expensive than your normal breakfast joint. After tax and tip, over $16 for one person for coffee and breakfast food but it's delicious, unique and fast food!

Five stars, miss this place like crazy. We moved from Roselle to Evanston two years ago and we still have not found s spot near us that comes close. In the four years we were in Roselle we ate here monthly and never had a bad meal. It has it all - great food, great atmosphere, and really great service. We may just have to take the drive soon. California crepes, I need you in my life again!

Another warm sunny weekend, another breakfast place to try out - this past weekend I joined two siblings at Brunch Cafe. The exterior facade (simple breakfast joint in a strip mall) doesn't give away the surprising spacious area they have inside. Service was the usual for a good breakfast spot - quick & pleasant without being overbearing. While I love French toast (which is their mainstay), I simply could not forego the Sweet Potato skillet. MMM, gouda + apples + ham on sweet potatoes? Best skillet I've had in a long time. The one curiosity of this place - they are a breakfast joint but don't do hash browns, in any format. Their skillets, stuffed potato pancakes (which one of my sisters had), etc only come with breakfast potatoes. They simply do not do hash browns. We asked. Odd. I will definetely come back and try to do the French Toast.

I had been debating on my reviews for Brunch Cafe. My fiance and I had decided to come here on a regular basis and found that coming to Brunch Cafe is like dating a man. My review is based on "To Go" and not dining in. The experience is probably best dining in with Brunch Cafe. Our first date with Brunch Cafe was awesome, great, and butterflies in our stomach kind of date. He showed us the best side of him (I will just say "him/his/he" for now as I'm the one writing the review). The food was spectacular, eggs beaten just right or in my case cooked perfectly over medium, the sausage patties were not overcooked nor was it undercooked. The potatoes were seasoned perfectly, and the pancakes were moist. It was the best first kiss. The smiles on the cashier's face was beautiful, and service was just up to par. Our first date was like a dream. Our second date wasn't as glamorous as the first, but we thought, "that's okay. Maybe Brunch Cafe is just tired and overworked." We had ordered scrambled eggs and bacon instead of sausages for one and also eggs over medium and corned beef hash after changing my mind about getting sausage links. When we arrived to get our food, the smiles seemed to have slightly diminished and we didn't feel that warm fuzzy feeling we first had. Nevertheless, we were excited to dig in. The bacon was not crispy as how we like it and they gave us both the sausage patties and corned beef hash instead of just corned beef hash. He also made my eggs over easy so it was more runny than I would have liked. The potatoes were okay and not seasoned as well as the last time. The pancakes kisses were still great. We decided to go on a third date. This time we were hopeful that our assumption that Brunch Cafe was just having an off second date was true. Unfortunately, our third date showed that Brunch Cafe really was just a great first date kind of guy. It was a horrible 3rd date experience. Because our order was incorrect the 2nd time, I decided to look through the bag first before leaving and asked the employees if they can show me our order. The employees seemed to have been annoyed with my request. I had asked for Jam over the phone but there was none added to the bag. We had ordered our eggs with sausage patties and corned beef hash. The corned beef hash had an off taste to it and was not cooked thoroughly. It was definitely on the soggy side. My stomach turned for the worst after eating it and I was unable to function the rest of the day. the potatoes were also okay and the best part was always the pancakes. I don't know why we did, but we decided to. Out of stupidity on my part? We decided to forgive Brunch Cafe and give him one last chance. *sigh* I was very skeptical but I decided to be the foolish romantic instead and only remember the first date we had with him. This was the defining moment and our deciding factor to never again see Brunch Cafe. We had ordered scrambled egg with ham and eggs over medium with ham. Normally there are napkins in the bag, but this time there were none. When I paid for it, the cashier failed to give me my change. Was it really that she forgot to give me my change or was she taught to assume that the rest of the change was a tip? This definitely rubbed me the wrong way and it made me uneasy. When I arrived home, instead of eggs over medium I got scrambled eggs. Because the change incident still lingered in my mind, the scrambled eggs definitely upset me. I don't normally let things like this affect me, but I just couldn't let it go. The potatoes tasted like they were not fresh and gave us left over potatoes. I'm not saying this is the case, it just tasted like it. The butter was placed in with the pancakes so when we opened it, it was liquid and splashed out. Still, the best part is their pancakes. Why did I not ask them to check the bag to see my order this time? I guess I had just watched "Waiting" with Ryan Reynolds the night before. Because of that movie, I am more scared to speak up about my food than ever before. So, we have decided to break up with Brunch Cafe. It's unfortunate because our first date was just beautiful, magnificent, and magical. But, like wonderful first dates, that's just what it was. So long Brunch Cafe.

I go here with my family for brunch, on average, twice per month. They have great recipes here, and it's no surprise why there's always a wait. I have never been disappointed with ANY of their offererings ranging from traditional breakfasts/pancakes to breakfast burritos to omelets to skillets. Everything's delicious and the owners are very kind and friendly. They deserve the success that they've had. :-)

I have only eaten here once, but I had a great experience. I was meeting up with some buddies before a golf outing and we all had a great meal. I thought there was a lot of good options on the menu that were different than other places. I'm glad I saw this place again on yelp, because it reminds me to go back. Food was great, service was good. Give it a try.

Food was good. Prices are fair. Very family friendly. Kinda far for people coming from Chicago but if your in the area, you can't lose.

First off, let me preface by saying that I am a breakfast person. I can eat breakfast for lunch or dinner or pretty much any time of the day. That said, I am also finicky about my breakfast and the IHOPS and Denny's of the world don't cut it IMHO. We started going to Brunch Cafe last year and were hooked. Sure its a little pricey but the ambience is good, the food is delicious, the service is first rate...I don't think there's more to expect. Must try are their crepes which are thin and just delicious. Their belgian waffle is amazing. There is a lack of good breakfast places in this area and Brunch Cafe fills that need. Will continue to go there until another place comes along and matches up in terms of the food, service and decor.

We've been there several times. Many times were good and we should say we are coffee drinkers and for the cup being so large the coffee gets cold if we don't drink it fast

Mmmmm. On a recent visit to suburbia I ended up at the Brunch Cafe, it is one of my favorite burb breakfast places now. I had about 3 hours of sleep and a hangover and my brother wanted to spend the day tree shopping (insert freaked out face here). First, we needed breakfast. There was about a 20 minute wait, but there wasn't anywhere close enough to get to sooner than that, so we waited. The service was mostly good, except that we waited about 15-20 minutes for the check after we were done eating. I'm not a banker or anything, but I'm pretty good with math. Had we not had to wait 20 minutes for our check, the next table wouldn't have had to wait 20 minutes for their table. It's a vicious cycle. I wouldn't have minded so much, but I was watching other tables and they were just sitting there done eating too. So it wasn't just that our server forgot about us. I had the biscuits and gravy (please see aforementioned hangover comment). They were actually really good. I'm not a biscuits and gravy connoisseur, but these biscuits were incredibly fluffy considering they were most likely made hours earlier. My sis in law went the healthy route, as she always does, and had a yogurt and fruit parfait. She claimed it was "delicious". The menu had lots of good looking items. I am a breakfast whore. I fully understand waiting for a table at a good brunch/breakfast place at 9:30 on a Sunday. I do not understand waiting another 20 minutes for my check. I'll fork over that 5th star if they don't make me wait so long next time around.

By far, this is the best breakfast restaurant in the area. Not only is the food phenomenal, the wait staff is on point and the bussers are on the ball. The owner, George, is always there to greet you with a smile and will make a point to know you by name. We eat there every weekend and we always have the same thing, the caliente omelet with egg beaters. It's so good!! Go early on weekend.... before 9, or the place gets jammed packed. After 11 it generally slows down.

I meet here every Monday morning with my business partners. The staff and breakfast is awesome. I have been here many other occasions as well and I've never been disappointed.

I have to say that when i went, everyone had talked it up so as a cynic naturally didnt believe it, it was extremely enjoyable. The food was delicious and it was extremely busy! The only problem i ever encountered was they fact that the servers seemed a little impatient as well as the managers. It wasn't like they weren't pleasant but it seemed like they didnt want to engage into any convo with me and my party. Definitely worth a visit though.

The food and coffee are always good. Always busy but never a long wait. And even as busy as they are, I never feel neglected nor ignored by the staff. Great selection of food and very reasonably priced too. I highly recommend brunch cafe.

The food here is really good but pricey compared to others places with comparable quality. On the weekend the waits are always long. Their menu is unique and very creative. I wish they had shredded hash browns instead of breakfast potatoes.

You know a place is good when there is a 45 minute wait to eat breakfast. And this is that place. Totally worth the wait. There is truly no other breakfast place in the area of the same quality and variety that I have found. I have been here a number of times over the past few years and most recently attended a baby shower here. Didn't even know they hosted events like that. What a great venue for a baby shower or even a bridal shower. I really appreciate how clean this place is and how many options they offer. We had a whole buffet of breakfast and lunch options from crepes to a breakfast frittata thingamajiggy and turkey wraps and homemade chips. The breakfast sausage is not my fave but the thick-cut bacon was cooked well. The crepes were awesome. I ate a whole crepe and enjoyed some fresh fruit. They also had french toast and banana bread french toast on the buffet that I wanted to try but I already had more than enough to eat. I am not a huge breakfast person (but my family and fiance are huge breakfast fans), so every time I go for breakfast, I love that they offer lunch items as well. I typically get their chicken sandwich with roasted red peppers. I always forget to ask for the red pepper on the side because it tends to make the bread soggy so I plan to order it this way next time I go to see if the red pepper is the soggy little culprit. Overall, I really like this place for breakfast and am a fan of their service and cleanliness. We'll be back soon.

I've dined at Brunch Cafe several times, and I can honestly say this is one of few places that's a hit every time. Besides the occasional wait, you'll leave with a food coma, and the service and owner have always been pleasant and attentive, hope that doesn't change. Also, my wife (HR Manager at Ampac located across the street) is a big fan, so she caters often from this place. Anyhow, thats my experience ... again, I hope they maintain the quality service and food they've always demonstrated.

I love this place. The portions are 2 servings worth. I do the Cali crepe - lovely and fresh. My friends have done the strawberry waffles, red velvet french toast. I dig the strawberry-OJ. Refreshing! Service is very good.

This is place is great! First time in this place and just thought the food was delicious, service was great and the price while a bit on the higher side is very fair. I would highly recommend this breakfast lunch place!! I would suggest the breakfast burrito. Everyone in our group loved their food. Will revisit soon!

Nikko S.

Best brunch in the area. I had the meat and potato skillet, I ordered it with scrambled eggs, but received sunny side up. I am not picky so rather than making a fuss I decided to eat it anyway. Other than that tiny mess up, the food was amazing. Our server was quick to refill our drinks and very friendly. I love how many options they offer. I was stuck between several different meals. If you haven't tried this place yet, you're missing out.

Can't go wrong here. Best Breakfast ever. Top Notch. Quick service and great staff. If you happen to arrive at prime breakfast time, you will have to wait, but once seated you will understand why. Recommend the skillets or Blueberry Bliss Pancakes.

How could I have missed the Mimosa's on the menu??? I need to sharpen my brunching skills. I've been back twice since my original visit and this most recent time it took my brother to point out to me that I had been brunching here all wrong. The Mimosas are about $6 and they are huge when you think about mimosa servings. Definitely at least 20 oz of sparkly-juicy fun. There's the classic OJ and then also a strawberry OJ. The Strawberry OJ is delicious--great fresh flavor--a great burst of sunshine! There are also Bloody Mary's on the menu--if that's the direction your thirst takes you. This time around I had the chorizo egg white omelet. Yee Haw! I just found what I have been missing most about living in Tejas--the chorizo and eggs breakfast taco. No taco here, just some toast, but that's ok. This omelet was bursting with tasty spicy chorizo. Tastes just like the dish my adopted abuela made for me at my favorite breakfast taco joint in San Antonio. And they have Chollula hot sauce if you need more heat--my favorite. The Yellow Rose of Texas just tipped it's hat to Brunch Cafe. It can get kind of loud at BC, and there's a good chance you'll have to wait for seats on the weekends. They recently expanded so there's more seating though-which they totally needed. Service is friendly, a little abrupt sometimes. But I'll gladly deal with that for a Texas sized Mimosa and my chorizo omelet any day!

Love this place. One of the best breakfast place in the chicago-land area. I love crepes and even their eggs are nice and soft and taste differently, very good. Everything my family has tried we have liked.

Christina S.

If you are looking for a perfectly prepared crepe, among other things, look no further. I have found that most restaurants don't know how to properly prepare a crepe, usually resulting in a dry and often bland result. Not so here. The BC has got this down perfectly; moist, good flavor and light. BEST crepe I've ever had. There is a good selection of both sweet and savory, and I opted for the ham and Swiss. I would ask for more cheese next time, but the cubed ham was juicy, tasty and plentiful. And there were two ample sized crepes served. My friend Sam ordered the Signature Brunch French Toast with strawberries and kiwi, and it was as delicious (and pretty) as widely reported on yelp. She also tried a side of corned beef hash, and I think she liked it but thought it was overpriced for the small helping. I think my friend Jenna ordered a veggie omelet which looked packed with veggies and some sort of potatoes on the side. I was in my own food coma, but I know she enjoyed her brunch. :) We drove about an hour in the rain to meet friends here and it was worth it. :) We waited about 15 minutes to be seated. Never had to ask for coffee, setting was simple but also warm and inviting, service was excellent and friendly, and orders were super fast period, but especially considering it was Sunday brunch peak time! It was Jenna's choice (awesome), all of our first visit, and we can't wait to go back!

Nora L.

The restaurant was really busy when we got there. The wait on a table for three during Sunday morning brunch was about 45 minutes. It seemed like forever, but we stuck it out. I am so glad we did because the food was great. The southwest scramble was enough for two meals, so the price was reasonable. If I'm ever in the area again I well definitely try to make it back to the Brunch CafÃ©.

I absolutely love this place! I only ever get the turkey Swiss wrap which is my absolute favorite but my friend gets breakfast, particularly the "aye caraumba!"'and he loves that as well! Staff is always very very friendly... It's definitely worth the 45 mins wait:)

Danielle K.

Visited with little ones on a Sunday AM. Very good food, well worth the 45min wait. They have French Vanilla creamer ; ) deal breaker! Our waitress was extremely nice and accommodating to our substitutions. Wish I could remember her name, blonde with big flower in her hair. Only reason this isn't 5 stars is bc as nice as the staff was, we didnt see them very often. Management keeps them busy; seemed like even bus boys were in the weeds. Will return again and recommend this to anyone looking for a great breakfast.

Three times I've been here, and I've gotten three completely different items each time. That they've succeeded on all three is a good sign that the popularity of this restaurant is merited. The first thing I had was a veggie omelet; this was wonderfully fluffy with fresh veggies. The second thing I remember having was a Route 20, a vegetarian crepe. Surprise: this savory crepe came out just right (a bit thick) with the same fresh ingredients I'd come to expect. This last time, I'd gotten a salsa verde skillet (actually called the "nacho"). Yes, this actually tasted good. The nachos were good, and every ingredient from the cheese to the sour cream to the green salsa verde was fresh. The potatoes on the side were well seasoned and cooked perfectly. The pancakes from The Brunch Cafe are always made perfectly. They also don't taste like cardboard, which is a plus. There's definitely buttermilk in them. Real maple syrup only helps the cause. My wife's omelet was, thankfully, made using real ham (not ham cubes!) and also very good. I can't really recommend this place enough--I've always had great meals here on Sunday mornings, and I look forward to coming back for more.

My favorite place for breakfast. I have eaten here many times and have never been disappointed. The food is amazing. Some of my favorites are cinnamon roll French toast, south of the border quesadillas, breakfast burrito, and any of the huge fluffy omlettes.

Sam M.

Haha, I just saw this place has 166 reviews, and I'm sure they're all amazing. My fiancÃ© and I have been coming here at least once a month since they've opened, and have never had a bad experience. The food is amazing, and the staff is so kind and efficient. Even when they're packed, we never wait too long for anything. They do business very well over there.

What a cute place! Added bonus that it was delicious and they have great bloody mary's. I met my girlfriends here for brunch and made a reservation. We were seated right away and it looked like they were turning tables pretty quickly. The wait looked like 20 mins or so on a Saturday late morning. Since I couldn't decide if I wanted breakfast or lunch (literally everything on the menu sounded fantastic) I ended up having savory crepes with my bloody mary and it was perfect. Normally I'm a member of the clean plate club, but I could only put back half of my plate (one crepe). The leftovers made a great dinner. The portions were on the big side, but then again, their prices reflected that. It wasn't outrageous, but it wasn't cheap either. Service was really quick and friendly. Our group of six sat there chatting a little bit after our quick brunch and our server didn't even get annoyed that we were camping and wasting her table. It was nice to not feel rushed and like we were being kicked out. I will certainly add this place into my usual brunch rotation. I can't wait to try some of the other things on the menu!

Christine L.

Loved this place! Was expecting it to be packed as we came on a Saturday mid-morning but there was no line & we were seated right away. The menu had an excellent variety, a mix of the usual breakfast items with some more unique ones. Being indecisive me I had such a difficult time trying to figure out what to order. Finally settled on the Ay Caramba! skillet. It was very, very good albeit a little greasy. But then again, what chorizo dish isn't greasy?. I loved that the salsa had a good kick as a lot of times salsa at a brunch place can be bland. Definitely took it up a notch. The skillet came with your choice of a side of toast or pancakes. I had the pancakes and they were pretty standard (but still good). My friend got the crepes, and if I had known how huge they were going to be I would have ordered them instead! Usually when I think of crepes I think of a dinky little dish, which is why I usually don't order them when I eat brunch. These crepes were monstrous, the size of two big burritos on a plate. The one bite I had was superb. Service was extremely quick, we were all surprised at how quickly the food came out. Prices were average for this type of brunch place. I definitely want to go back to try more of their dishes!

Can you tell we love to go out to breakfast? I've reviewed many breakfast places and The Brunch Cafe is darn good. It's a bit out of the way for us so we only go here if we are running errands out that way. They have an excellent variety for breakfast and lunch, and not all your standard run-of-the-mill brunch fare. Their specials are inspired and half the time I end up ordering one of those. In Autumn my favorite is their sweet potato, ham & Gruyere omelet special. I think it may have been added to the year-round menu now, but I'm not sure. The portions are large as well. My husband and I normally get 2 - 3 meals out of just one omelet with breakfast potatoes! Who can finish one of those? I'm guessing if someone does they have to be rolling to the car afterwards. The place is a decent size, lots of tables, but they get busy so if you aren't on the early side on a Saturday or Sunday expect to wait a short time. The service is good...not as personable & welcoming as little local places in Elgin we love, but still good.

The Brunch Cafe has quickly become my favorite breakfast/brunch date spot when I go out with my extra special breakfast/brunch date partner... also known as My Beautiful Gma. Everything I've had here so far has been fantastic but somehow Gammie and I always find ourselves in the same pickle: A. What To Get and B. Why We Shouldn't Just Get One of Everything. First World Problems, Yo. It was The Brunch Cafe that introduced Gams to mimosas (both reg and strawberry) and the finer points of, well, finer breakfast. Not just eggs, bread, batter, butter, + dashes of salt & peppa here and there. The Brunch Cafe is so much more, my friends. Add in basil, garlic, pesto, RED.VELVET.PANCAKES! and so much more... like those heaven sent breakfast potatoes. The servers are super friendly but I have found that sometimes the hostess can be a bit 'tude-y. And the prices aren't your standard cheap-o B-fast prices but that's A-OK cuz you ain't getting no standard cheap-o B-fast at The Brunch Cafe. And make sure to look directly to your right when you walk in as they have a display of all their specials for the day and just like that old saying, sometimes seeing is believing. So even if you went in with your heart set on bfast style stuffed portobello caps, you might end up with taffy apple waffles or some other extra especial special.

Love this place! First let me start off by saying that I am not a big fan of eating out for breakfast (I figure I can make my own eggs!) - That said, I will tell you that this place changed my mind! The menu is so far beyond "eggs". - And everything Ive ever tried, has been very good.. my personal favorite - The california crepes. Also, they have a great selection of loose-leaf teas (something I have not come across in other places). All in all, yes, they are crowded... because everyone loves it here! But totally worth going!

Erinn N.

I wasn't horrendously impressed. The food was ok. I wouldn't order the stuffed potato pancakes again. Service wasn't great, we were seated, served our drinks and then our orders weren't taken for at least another 10 minutes. We went during the week around 830 am.... It wasn't that busy. Then when we were done, we were definitely handed another table's very pricey bill. For ok food, that was on the pricey side...I don't think this will be a frequent place to visit.

Found this place on Yelp. I was very impressed by the food, service, ambiance and prices. I ordered the California crepe. Best hollandaise sauce ever with the perfect balance of buttery richness and lemon tart. I wish the crepes were thinner, but my wife prefers the thicker crepe. I guess that's a toss up. I would have liked to seen more creative options for their omelets, like some funky cheeses. Also, their coffee was just average. I make a mean cup of coffee, so I'm picky. This was our first time here, if the next experience is like this one, it's a 5-star place.

Just went here today and had a great experience. There was a large selection of food to choose from and a lot of unique options for french toast (red velvet french toast). I ended up getting the Mediterranean omelet and it was delicious! The service was a bit slow but the place was packed, so that was to be expected. And the only down side was is that they do not take reservations so we had to wait a bit, but the table turnover rate was pretty quick. Can't wait to come back and try something else!

Tadd T.

Had were a buttery Bronco scramble with hearty chunks of ham; bland and boring fried "brunch potatoes"; and a massive $6 mimosa made with cheap sparkling wine and from-concentrate OJ (not a bad thing if you're the it-gets-the-job-done type, and let's face it - a lowbrow mimosa is better than no mimosa). Swift and cheery service rounded out the meal. Arrive early, reserve a table, or prepare to wait. Thou hadst been warn-ed.

Having never been there before, we wanted to try it. First thing we noticed was the cleanliness. Next thing was friendly waitstaff. We went for breakfast, and the vary was excellent. I had multigrain pancakes - excellent! Slight hint of cinnamon - great serving size (even brought 1/2 home!) Husband had crepes. Very good flavor. Highly recommend. Waitress was attentive, and friendly. Great place to go.

I love breakfast food. I love food in general. I love coupons via email. I love you. Just kidding. Actually, if you're interested 23 year old male...haha, sorry, this isn't a chat room? NO WAIT, I AM REVIEWING BRUNCH CAFE. That was just my attempt at humor. Keep reading! Grandma and Mom wanted to take out my twin brother and I for lunch, since we are turning 23 in a matter of days. Of course, being the Yelper that I am, I of course wanted to try a new place, and thanks to the whole Yelp community for suggesting this place. It was a brunch of great reviews that made me want Brunch Cafe. Now the FOOD! I wanted an omelet and 'cakes. Of course, I was a subscriber via email, and I kid you not, as I was reading through...BAM an email from Brunch Cafe! It was a $10 Free Birthday Entree! Yes! I went up to the front, made sure I could use it, and Ellen, our waitress, had it already done when she dropped off the check! That a girl, Ellen! I wasn't paying, but 4 people at the total being 35.50! I'm in there like swimwear on this muggy September Day. I got the Caliente with egg whites, plus avocado, no cheese/chorizo. I keep it class, folks. My brother got similar, and Mom and Grandma ordered sandwiches. The pancakes I ordered were multigrain; blueberry for me, strawberry for my bro. Sweet, sweet child O' mine, they were good! Omelets great, perfectly cooked, and fresh vegetables! Hey!!! So while Grandma and I got coffee, I thought the meal was over. Of course, the men of the table didn't need boxes, because we're men who invented the wheel, use Brut Aftershave, sweat a lot, and finish meals. Oh no, it wasn't over! Our server Ellen, brought us each a birthday cupcake that I had to box as well as the other bday boy, because of already chewing gum! Thanks so much Brunch Cafe! If you're not getting their emails, what are you waiting for silly! September is National Breakfast Month! I know that for two reasons. I love breakfast, and Brunch Cafe JUST sent me an email reminding me! Awesome place, with a brunch of different options for every single person in your party! YA BABY!

Brunch Cafe is okay. I was mainly disappointed that they didn't have fresh-squeezed orange juice which was listed on their site. When I asked the waitress about it, she snarked "It says "fresh" on the carton." I ordered a raspberry iced tea instead and it was terrible with a really off aftertaste. Their florentine Benedict is pretty good, though I had to ask for more Hollandaise sauce as it didn't have enough initially. Potatoes were bland and textureless. The banana french toast was tasty.

Rita B.

Family friendly restaurant. Went on a Sunday for a late breakfast. Place was packed! But we didn't wait for more than 15 minutes. Staff is so nice. Food is plentiful and delicious! I ordered the ah caramba! It was spicy but delicious. Husband's dish was good too! I enjoyed this place so much that I had to come back later in the week with different family members. They too loved this place too! Menu is creative. I'm looking forward to trying a lot of things here. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars is because the coffee is downright nasty! It was so strong that after the first sip I got heartburn. My husband who likes all kinds of coffee couldn't even drink the coffee here. Either way, def gotta give this place a try.

Bananarama!! I don't like pancakes, but this is one of the few places I get pancakes at! The other day I tried Bananarama, pancakes with bananas in the batter, crusted with graham crackers and topped with fresh strawberries and banana with strawberry glaze and anglaise! 1-the portions are HUGE!! So you will definitely be full at the end of your meal "we don't want you to go home hungry"-our waitress 2-Presentation: perfect!! 3-Taste: the fruits were ridiculously fresh!! That is a first! keep it up because i HATE sour fruit, it's not pleasant in the morning, so good job on that!! Pancakes: nice and fluffy, you can taste all the elements of the pancakes Overall food: AMAZING Overall service: our waitress was new, she moved back form california, and she was very very sweet! I mean for real genuine, knew what she talked about and engaged with the customer. I wish I grabbed her name, because Brunch Cafe you have a keeper. I am definitely coming back!

Nicole L.

The decor is nice, bright and open. I had the eggs Benedict - the hollandaise sauce was very good but the ham was a bit too thick and tough for my liking. The English muffins were grilled - they tasted like grilled cheese which was different but after awhile I grew tired of it. The brunch potatoes could use some more spice but tasted better drizzled in the extra hollandaise sauce I had requested. Service was ok. I was a bit disappointed in how long it took for our waitress to check on us after dropping off our food, however. Overall I did like this place and would probably eat here again to try the banana bread French toast since it sounds really good, but I'd go to Red Apple in Carol Stream for eggs Benedict since I like their version better.

I love Brunch Cafe. I first heard about it through a Living Social deal a few months back. I am not a big breakfast person but I think Brunch Cafe is converting me. The most recent meal that I've had here is the Bananarama Pancakes which are graham cracker crushed banana pancakes topped with fresh bananas and strawberries...yum!! I do have to mention that the fruit here is exceptional...everything has always been so fresh and tasty. I've also had the garden omelet which was huge....their omelets here are like footballs! The last time I was here (Saturday around 11) there was about a 20 minute wait. Since I am not a morning person I've never been here before 10. It seems if you get here around 11:45-12 there isn't a wait because the breakfast rush is over. Tip - order the strawberry orange juice...you won't be sorry!

Nicole M.

I've been wanting to try Brunch Cafe for a while now and what better way then with a Living Social deal. Went there on a Sunday morning around 9:30am, they said it would be about a 20 min wait and it ended up being only about 10 mins! yay! This place kinda reminds me of Wildberry. Red Velvet French Toast, that's all I have to say! Yumm. Tasted just like a Red Velvet Cupcake! I was in Red Velvet Heaven! They give you 3 slices, stuffed with cream cheese and topped with Strawberries. My only grip was some of the strawberries were not fresh but mushy and brown. yuck! Other then that it was delish. Got a side of bacon, 3 think cut slices, was also good. Also got the Strawberry-Orange Juice, it was good but I didn't really taste much Strawberry in it. My boyfriend ordered a Skillet and said it tasted good and all the veggies were fresh tasting. Prices pretty average for a Breakfast joint.

I did not have a good experience here this morning and it's tainted my view of The Brunch Cafe a bit. It's a bit disappointing as my friend and I decided we wanted to grab Sunday breakfast so I looked into places on Yelp. The Brunch Cafe had such great reviews, interesting choices and the food looked great! My experience is a one off but based on my experience I give them just two stars. This is not to say I won't give them another go, because I definitely will so hopefully I can give them a better rating after my next visit. When we go in this morning, we waiting nearly an hour to be sat. They accidentally crossed our name out on their wait list for whatever reason. We stood right in front of them as tables upon tables got sat ahead of us. I was so confused but my friend convinced me they would call us soon and there had to be some reason we waited so long. I had an appointment I had to be at at 11:15 so I was about to walk out so my friend asked them what was going on. That's when they said they accidentally crossed out our name on the list. Which yes, mistakes happen. As a former head hostess at a restaurant, I know what's going on around me. If I see frustrated people that have been waiting much longer then people I have just sat, I will look into the situation and rectify it. But we just kept getting looked at and then overlooked. They had a few hostesses, too, so I'm not sure how no one could care enough to double check our name. When I discussed this with my friend it was just me being way overly critical at this point but just seemed a bit odd in a place of 15 servers. To their credit, they were very apologetic plus gave us $2 off our meal at the end. I was so annoyed at this point though that I know had 20 minutes to sit down, eat and get out that I was just not a happy camper for the rest of the meal. We got in and got out and were just not able to fully enjoy our meal. We wanted to get coffee, relax and enjoy ourselves but that just couldn't happen. I got the sliders breakfast meal which comes which three sliders and their breakfast potatoes. The potatoes were just okay, no ketchup on the table or offered. The breakfast slider was amazing though! I LOVED it! Sadly, I could only finish one in the allotted time and had to take the other two to go plus 90% of my potatoes. Our waitress was very nice and moved quickly for us when we told her we were ready to order right away and needed our receipt right when our food arrived. As I said, the food seems to be good, just a bad experience this morning. I'll be back to try again but I'm disappointed in this first impression.

Amazing Breakfast Fare! I went out to eat with my mom, grandma, and brother. The two ladies ordered sandwiches that I'm sure were delightful. My brother and I ordered omlettes with egg whites and egg beaters, respectively. We both got different veggies in our omlettes, but we both had avocado and salsa with them. The food was really good. Omlettes were made with fresh veggies, the fruit platter was excellent, and the multi-grain cakes were very earthy, but tasty! I've been wanting to head out here for a year now; I'm glad I did! If anyone is in the area, stop by this place! The only negative I found was that they did not offer broccoli as an option in their omlettes. I found this odd, but the rest of the meal made up for it. Finally, the staff overheard our party discussing my upcoming birthday, and we were given two cupcakes for the occasion. I love when restaurant staff go the extra mile like this; they were rewarded accordingly! Great staff, service, atmosphere, food... GO VISIT NOW!

I LOVE THIS PLACE. It's so great. The menu has things that I've never seen around this area. We started out with homemade strawberry-orange juice. My son had the Strawberry Cheesecake Pancake Roll Up. It was covered with Strawberries and Blueberries and stuffed with cream cheese! My daughter had the "Bananarama" which was pancakes with a graham cracker crust, Bananas, Strawberries and a Creme Anglaise. That is the picture I will post on here. Me being a total meat and potato woman, got the meat and potato skillet. It was cooked perfectly. Eggs were great as well. The big favorite of our excursion was the Breakfast Burrito. The thing has got to be at least 2 pounds, and stuffed! My husband ate this, and while he literally nitpicks everything to death, he had no negatives of this place at all! The reason I did not give it 5 stars is because it is very expensive. For our family of 4, it cost nearly $50 after tip. But the food is worth each and every penny. Try it out.

I recommend this very good breakfast location. The food was tasty, fresh and appealing. The coffee was hot and strong. The service was friendly, prompt and open. While busy Saturday morning, it was a good busy--you know, the hum of a place that was hitting on all cylinders. I enjoyed my omelette, especially because it was not over-cheesed. Yes, blasphemy I actually like to taste those fluffy eggs and the off-the-bone ham, as well as the cheese. Very solid balance between those ingredients. One of the reasons I give four stars is that I have only been one time. I firmly believe that five stars includes a level of consistency as well as excellence. I add this only to say I have no reservations about recommending this restaurant.

I had tried Brunch Cafe after it had first opened (years ago) and found the food to be terrific, but the service was slow. I'm happy to report that during my last two visits, the service has been outstanding - finally matching the quality of the food.

I've been to Brunch Cafe numerous times, that the Manager says Hi to me. This time was different. I got there alone when it was busy but the tables were turning over on a regular basis. 1 party was before me. I asked for a table large enough to read my paper. They said no problem and would be a few min. 5 min later they called my name and walked me to the 'smallest tables in the place against the wall. I said no thanks, i requested a table large enough to read the paper. i sat bck down and waited. in 10 min. 2 other parties of 2 that arrived after me were seated in the larger tables. I walked to the front cashier and told them what i saw. she said it's sometimes difficult giving me a seat when its' busy. Again, tables were turning over on a regular basis ( only 1 other party ahead of me when I walked in). She could have said when i first arrived that it would be a problem. But no, she said a few min. She didnt bother to say 'i'm sorry '. I left and drove 2 miles down the street to another restaurant where I was greeted with a smile, and good food.

After trying almost all the breakfast/brunch offerings in the area this is by far the best! Superb customer service, excellent food, and the best pancakes around. The team makes it a point to make everyone feel welcome - regulars and first timers alike. 2-3 specials every weekend, including on Sundays when others only offer standard menu.

I am definitely not a breakfast person. Breakfast food to me seems either too simple (sausage, eggs and bacon) or too sugary. If I had to pick a place for breakfast, this is my go to spot. I've been coming here once or twice a month since it opened and I haven't been let down once. What I usually get: Soup: I really really like their chicken noodle soups on Mondays. Its mostly noodles and there's very little chicken but the hot tasty clear broth is satisfying to me for some reason. At around 4 bucks, it may seem like a ripoff but I would say the quality makes up for the price. Biscuits and Gravy: Lots of gravy, I usually get a side of breakfast potatoes to sop up the sausage gravy after I finish the biscuits. Breakfast Potatoes: Basically fried potato cubes. Works well with a lot of the dishes here. Sausage Links: Larger than your average Johnsonville sausage link but also costs more. Overall I'd say this is a great place for breakfast but I don't really eat breakfast so I'm just guessing. The service is fast, the place is always neat and clean, and the people are nice. If you're the early rising, breakfast eating type definitely give this place a shot. If not and you only come here to nurse a hangover with fatty food like me....still consider this place. I'm sure you won't be let down.

I've been here a couple times - primarily due proximity. Honestly, it's nothing to rave about. The food isn't bad, but it certainly isn't great. There's definitely a lot to choose from on the menu for both breakfast and lunch. They have the same menu items you can find at most places - omelets, skillets, benedicts, eggs, pancakes and french toast. However, they're just at a higher price. Maybe it's because of the ridiculous amount of food you get. One dish could probably serve 2 people. I'd rather have smaller portions - breakfast leftovers don't reheat well. I love the berry bowl - raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and strawberries with a sweet cream on the side. However, I don't recommend the crepes...they're very dough-y and more like a pancake. They definitely are not thin and delicate. Each time I've been here the place has been packed and there's a wait. So in my experience, when a restaurant is that busy, service is sub par. Brunch is no exception. Overall, it's just average. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but if you're looking for a traditional breakfast, Brunch Cafe will do.

This is my suburban equivalent of Meli's cafe in Chicago. It might be even better because its cheaper for bigger portions. For breakfast places around this part of town, it doesn't get any better than here. Firstly, the service here is top-notch. The owner is here every time I've been here and he has always been extremely nice and courteous whether there was just a few people here or whether it was packed to the gills. Service is fast but not rushed and the waitresses are nice. Like Meli's, I've had a fair share of items here and none have disappointed. My notable favorite for breakfast the is the South Beach. For lunch it's the Tuna Melt. And did I mention it's tremendous bang for your buck here? Food-stuffing portions at reasonably great prices.

Chris T.

Highly recommended! I have been here a handful of times and have had great service each time. The food has been exceptional and the management is very friendly. The only time I was disappointed, was when they ran out of their daily special. Everyone I have recommened to here has been extremely satisfied!

I can sum up this place in 3 words: butter, butter, butter. I ordered a ham and cheddar omelet which tasted like it had at minimum a stick of butter in it, and it was large enough to feed 2 people for portion size and 4 people for calories. My friends' orders were no different, overloaded w/ butter. The only thing w/o the overwhelming butter taste was the coffee which was sludge (the waitress said it was an improved coffee blend from the last kind they had, so I shudder to think what it was previously). The service was great though and more than made up for the coffee buzz kill. This place got mobbed about 5 minutes after being seated, so try calling ahead if you don't want to wait. Overall, a decent brunch option in the burbs.

Went here on a Saturday about 30 mins before closing and it was empty. Which is not a bad thing, I hate waiting. And usually brunch places = long waits. But, usually long waits also mean good place. Fortunately, this short wait didn't equate to crappy food. They had a lot of different options including lunch. Which is great. Sometimes you go to brunch places and all they have is breakfast. They forget that brunch is a portmanteau of breakfast and lunch. Ok ok, I admit, I just wanted to use that word in a yelp review. It's one of those words that most people never use, but everyone is aware of them. Anyway, back to the food. Wife got a panini which she enjoyed. She wasn't in the mood for breakfast food I guess. Oh she got a smoothie which was very delicious. They even had the seeds so you know it's fresh. Or maybe they add seeds, either way, it's good. I got a south beach scrambler. It's kind like a skillet, but a little different I guess. It's not mixed together I think. I like that they have different options for meat. A lot of places only have ham/sausage/bacon. But these days a lot of people like to do turkey sausage/bacon, so its' nice to see the variety. Oh they have Wifi.

1 pm on a Sunday: We were shown quickly to a table where we found the usual decor mix of tables and booths. I felt a bit out of place because I wasn't wearing a Cubs uniform. Service was brusque and to the point: it was busy. The cappuccino was weak. My crispy bacon (see photo) was totally burnt. Sausages were fine. I had sliced tomatoes, not potatoes, with my meal and the plate looked bare. On top of that, it was all simply bland. My girlfriend's turkey burger and fries were "dull." We weren't asked at anytime if it was good. The whole experience was very average and I'll not go back. It was not unpleasant, just really average.

Shannon P.

I don't know how this place has 4 and a half stars. The food is mediocre at best and overpriced, the coffee tasted burnt (like it had been sitting on the warmer for a long time), our server was rude (though some of the other servers I observed seemed much friendlier). I feel like I wasted my money.

John J.

Tried to reserve seating for two but the wouldn't do that if its less than six people. Also, two many people standing around the entrance which made it difficult to enter. Was told I would have at least a 20 minute wait. Decided to go to Wildberry in Schaumburg.

Renee S.

I love Brunch Cafe. The unfortunate thing about this place is that it has significantly RAISED my bar in diner/breakfast experience. Their limited hours generally don't fit my "dining out" schedule. My family (picky eaters) from out of state visited for a week. They went here for brunch 4 days in a row!!!! My favorite thing is the veggie skillet. But, everything is good... I look forward to going back :)

Jeff G.

I just wanted to add another review after having visited here a few times. There is really no place close by that can touch their quality of food. There are basics to choose from that are done well, but the gourmet offerings are superb. I just finished off a chicken sandwich with apple slices, bacon and avocado that was excellent. It is well worth the trip and prices are reasonable. Coffee and lunch was $13 which I feel is a great value for what you get.

Scott D.

This place is A-OK for me. I had the Mile High Omlette which you may guess is your typical Denver Omlette. The taste was nothing special but did get the job done in erasing my hunger pains. The cheese in the omlette was a little over bearing and the country potatoes that comes with this dish was basically tasteless. The service was spot on. The total for the omlette plus tax was $10 on the nose.

Paul M.

I have been to Brunch Cafe twice now and I have been very impressed both times. The food quality is excellent and the portions are rediculous (in a good way). This time i did manage to finish my meal (Caliente omlet), but I could barely breath when I was done. haha The service is good and the waitress was on top of the coffee before we could get low. The only negative is the wait to get in. If you go during a peak time be prepared to wait a long time. Sunday morning to early afternoon the wait can be 30 minutes plus. There is a lot of waiting area, but it gets full quickly.

Jennifer S.

Ive visited Brunch Cafe twice in just as many weeks and I am already looking forward to going back. My son loved the Blueberry Bliss Cakes! He actually called the cream drizzled over it - Heavenly. My husband ordered an omelet that was practically the size of his head. Way too much food! But, it was cooked perfectly and that's a big deal to him. I had a short stack of chocolate chip pancakes with crisp bacon. My only question is why I got four strips of bacon on my first trip in and only three strips a week later. Kinda strange. Overall, a nice experience. Good service. Owners/managers standing at the door to greet you with a smile. Yum!

Noomi J.

Large portions with average prices. I've been here 3-4 times and have tried their country fried steak, stuffed french toast, meat omelette, and pancakes. I can't remember the others. But tastewise, they were fairly good, nothing spectacular. Good service with food arriving in a timely manner.

Judd O.

Service was top notch. Got seated quickly and got our check quickly. Went pretty late in the day though so I'm not sure how crazy packed they can get. I had a veggie skillet, it was OK- not great. My girlfriend had the nacho omelette and it was awesome. She also had a strawberry mimosa and wasn't too thrilled.
(4)
Trisa G.

This was one of the best breakfast meals I have had. Great service, atmosphere and food. As an added bonus I was very impressed that they served tea using tea leaves. Awesome!!! Again the menu selection would meet anyone's taste buds. I would highly recommend the Brunch Cafe.

Christina E.

I went here for the first time on Monday. We got seated right away. Service was very fast and our waitress was very friendly. The food here was great!! I will be coming back here for sure. The menu has a huge variety of every possible breakfast you can choose from! I would say cost wise it is pretty average compared to other breakfast places. Our bill was $45 total, but we had 4 Mimosas on there. Each of our dishes was about 8.99 and there was enough to take home for breakfast the next day if we wanted.

Pravar V.

Its one of the best breakfast places in Schaumburg area. The quantity is good enough for an individual. I have been to this place so many times but never experienced lower quality food. The service is quick as always. Its always crowded. They dont take reservations for less than 8 people. This is the only reason I didnt give 5 Star.

Josh M.

I am always down to try and new breakfast place to find the best b's and g's or good skillet. This place goes way past the usual fair that you see at your basic diner. The menu is like a top hits mixed with a stoners wet dream of menu items. I have been here a couple of times now and I seriously would like to try all of the menu items because they all sound that good. Too bad the hours are just for brunch because I would go here late night Denny's style to get my breakfast for dinner fix. I have had a couple of the menu items so far including the veggie skillet which was good but not great, breakfast sliders that I would definitely order again, and the brunch chicken sandwich that was an interesting combo but worked nicely. Service was fast and friendly and everything was cooked perfectly the couple of times we have went here. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a good alternative to the basic diner even though they do the classics just as good. I know ill be going back.

Mary B.

My husband and I literally stumbled upon this place after we gave up on Savoury recently. Wow! The staff is very friendly and make it a point to ask (very sincerely) how everything is/was. The menu choices range from some of the more typical breakfast options to some really creative (and yummy) dishes. Their French toast options are all really good. They also have really interesting specials. This is the only local breakfast place that I actually order coffee at because it's really good quality. Wait staff is friendly and prompt. On Sunday mornings there can be quite a line, but they're very organized and seem to move the line along pretty quickly (and the food is worth waiting for). The atmosphere is comfortable and nicely designed.

Alex R.

This is one of my favorite breakfast spots. The service is fantastic, and they always get the food out to us very quickly. Their portions are huge so I'm always full when I leave. My girlfriend gets the California Crepe, and it comes with two generous portions. I come here for the Steak Skillet. It's cheesy and nicely packed with steak and mushrooms. I'm not a huge fan of the square-cut potatoes in the skillet, but everything else makes up for it. While the coffee and pancakes are just ok, I love this place because of the service, portion sizes, and the overall quality of the food. Definitely come here for a delicious and filling breakfast!

Kris L.

Yum! This has become the new breakfast "go to" spot when it's my turn to visit my friend out in her hood. Service was good, waitress was super sweet. I ordered the whole grain french toast while my friend had the south beach omelet with breakfast potatoes. Everything was super delish, I even helped my buddy polish off those potatoes. The strawberry OJ was sweet and a bit sugary (which I was a fan of, however some of you may not be). My only gripe was that when the bill came I was charged an additional .50 cents for syrup. I didn't ask for it, it came out with the meal so I was a bit confused. I did love that our server let us sit and chat for over an hour while the restaurant had people waiting to be seated. Didn't feel rushed one bit!

Lisa M.

I definitely will be back here! My mom and I were looking for a nice late lunch and we decided to try it. We were not disappointed at all! We arrived slightly before One and they were still busy but we were promptly seated. Our server was excellent and always made sure my mom had coffee. We had ordered the Meat & Potato skillet and an Omelet (forgot the name but it had bacon, ham & sausage). Not only did our food come out super quick, but the portions were huge! I cannot wait to come back again and try more of the menu!

Mmmmmmimosas are mmmmmmmm good! Best pancakes in town. Only comment, is they should offer shredded hash browns, if they did, it would be the only breakfast spot for me.

Loki C.

The food is fantastic and we always have great service. The only thing I'd caution anyone wanting to stop by for breakfast is that there is typically a wait. There are some very innovative recipes here with unusual twists to classic breakfast and lunch dishes--I think it's why it's such a popular spot.

Sara B.

I really like this place. My friends and i have been here for breakfast a couple times. The portions are huge and enough to feed 3 people usually. I found this place on yelp and would tell anyone to try it out! Love their hot tea selections and strawberry oj as well

Been here twice now. I can't wait to go back. Usually a long line on weekends, though moves along fairly quickly. My first visit I ordered the "Ay Caramba!" skillet. I love spicy foods, and this tasted delicious without burning my palate. The chorizo was the highlight and star of the dish. My second visit I ordered the "Cinnamon Roll French Toast." Now, I love cinnamon rolls, but this didn't quite live up to my expectations. I should have just ordered "savory" like I usually do. The french toast itself tasted fine, but that's just it. Tasted just like any other french toast, just with some "extra" cinnamon in it. The vanilla icing (like in a cinnamon roll) they added just seemed not enough to me. Maybe a little more would have brought out those cinnamon roll flavors. In all, the place is still amazing. I'd always go back. Don't be discouraged by the long lines, wait usually isn't as bad.
(5)
Kristine M.

This is one of my favorite places to go in the suburbs for breakfast or lunch. The service is always good and drinks are refilled prompetly. I generally order the cinnamon roll french toast or the stuffed waffle for breakfast. The food always comes out hot and in a timely manner. I have eaten here for lunch once and got the chicken salad sandwich which I give two thumbs up. The restaurant is very accomodating for a large group of people for seating and when it comes to the check. Most restaurants give you a hard time for splitting the check, but everytime I've gone here, the servers ask up front if we want the check split. Lastly, the prices are so reasonable which makes it an added bonus when dining here.

Dawn G.

We found this place on yelp while visiting family just outside of Chicago. What a find! This place was so good we went back the next day. Thanks whole menu looks amazing. I had the potato skins benedict. They were so good a twist on the classic eggs benedict. It was a hollowed out potato skin with bacon and cheese a poached egg and hollandaise sauce and came with fresh melon. The coffee refills were fast and plentiful. I tried some of my sisters chocolate chip pancakes and they were to die for as were was the red velvet french Toast. We can't wait to go back to Chicago to visit this place again. My one tip would be to get there on the earlier side for breakfastthey get busy.

Brunch Cafe is one of my favorite places for breakfast. Located in a strip mall setting on Lake St., there is plenty of parking. It looks like it fills several units in the strip, so it appears to have multiple entrances, but there is actually only one. Once you find the right door and enter, you are immediately greeted by the hosts at the greeter station/checkout counter. There are lots of tables and booths, and they need every one of them. I have always been lucky enough to be seated immediately, but Brunch Cafe does get busy. I usually see people waiting for a table after I am seated. Sample plates of the breakfast specials are on display just inside the door, so be sure to take a peek before going to your table. Seeing them is much more tempting than hearing them described in words. The servers are very busy, but they always seem friendly and happy to take care of me. Tina has provided great service with a smile the last two times that I have been to Brunch Cafe. This was even through my repeated requests for water refills. I cannot get enough water! You might be asking yourself when I am going to talk about the food...I have been saving the best for last. The breakfast food is fantastic. Red velvet french toast with eggs and a giant slab of ham off the bone...decadent! California quiche... delicious! Veggie stuffed potato pancakes Benedict... savory! Lemon poppyseed french toast... taste sensation! Everything is cooked perfectly. The food comes fast too. They must have a very efficient kitchen staff. You will not go away hungry because the portions are large at a reasonable price. As with many breakfast places, they will give you your check at the table, but you need to walk back to the previously mention counter to pay. Not a big deal, because I like that Tina and the other servers are concentrating on keeping me fed. Brunch Cafe is a great example of what a breakfast spot should be. I just wish it was in Bartlett instead of Roselle. No matter though, because I will be back.

So, I stop for lunch and I walk in the door at 2:20 in the afternoon not knowing they close at 2:30. They welcome me in to have lunch as stay as long as I want. Never rushed or anything. That says it all about customer service!!!

This place was swamped when I went (then again it was a sunday afternoon) But the wait was atleast 20 min. They have a lot of varieties for breakfast & lunch My dad & I loved both of our orders If you like chai tea lattes try theirs! It was perfect! Definitely going back :)

Jenny C.

I love the Brunch Cafe because you can order a mimosa. The place is jam-packed during the weekend breakfasts, but most places are. I'd say that the Brunch Cafe is worth the wait. I had ordered the berry waffle, it was a decent-sized portion, and SO fluffy. My boyfriend ordered a skillet and loved it. Their potatoes are seasoned and taste awesome. Also, get their mimosa. I have tried the strawberry mimosa that was recommended to me by a waitress once, but it tasted like it was also mixed with orange juice and it tasted funny. I would go with the traditional one.
(4)
Carolyn W.

This is the best breakfast restaurant in the area. Every item on the menu I have tried has exceeded my expectations. The waitresses are super friendly as well. Don't miss this one. There is always a wait on the weekend, but it is worth the wait!

Perpetual fence sitters unite! Throw down the shackles of conformity! When you are asked to choose between breakfast and lunch: REFUSE and choose BRUNCH! More specifically, choose The Brunch Cafe. This place was hoppin' with wait staff bustling and customers everywhere. Yet, the service was spot on and quick. We started with Orange-Strawberry Mimosas and they we're awesome. I opted for the Potato Skin Bennies, where they get rid of that healthy English muffin in Eggs Benedict and replace with potato skins. I'm sure the fat content could have killed a manatee but, it was sooo worth it. My wife order THE BEST french toast I've ever had: The Dreamsicle. This is a orange blossom infused batter for the toast topped with white chocolate chips and brunch cream. I don't even like French Toast and I kept trying to steal my wife's. I highly recommend the Brunch Cafe. It won't disappoint unless you are opposed to deliciousness.

went on after reading other yelp reviews. my son and i stopped in for breakfast yesterday. food was terrific. the boy had a waffle like ive never seen...i swear it was like 4 inches thick...crunchy on the outside but soft and tasty as well. i has an omelet with swiss cheese and spinach...and my bacon came just like i asked for it..." kinda sorta well done" which isnt even really a way to order anything, but they got it right! i would definitely recommend!

I had the opportunity to try out the brunch cafe at 8 am on a week day (pretty quiet place at that time) and it was a really nice experience. Service was really friendly, coffee kept on getting promptly refilled but more importantly the food was really good: perfect omelet and fine breakfast potatoes. I'll definitely be back when in the area. A lot of things on the menu I do want to try.

Coffee was so-so. Had the corned beef hash skillet. It was good but the hash was mostly potatoes and very little corned beef. Service was very good. I will go back again

Will S.

I love breakfast and lunch, so a place that specializes in both is my kind of place. This is my kind of place! I've eaten here many times and have always been impressed. They understand that people eat first with their eyes. Every plate that comes out of the kitchen looks like a food stylist plated it. And they have the 2nd part down, as well. Last time I had the Country Fired steak. Perfectly cooked, with a nice crunchy crust, covered with a nice gravy. Tasted wonderful. My wife got the Stuffed Potato Pancakes. She thought they were the best she'd had. All in all, if you like breakfast, lunch, or brunch, this place is amazing.
(5)
Joanna K.

I would give a 4.5 overall for this breakfast place. It's a pretty new place in this neighborhood. They offer a wide variety of breakfast and lunch items. Their service is fast! Their staff is very friendly. We got our food within 5-10 minutes of ordering. The items on their menu is reasonably priced. Although I have seen better. I have only been here a couple times and definitely will be coming back because their food is delicious. Although some of the items are a bit greasy. Brunch Cafe offers some different items on their menu that you would not see at other breakfast places. Definitely a good place to try them all. The portions are HUGE! You'll definitely will be bring home some leftovers. My favorite things to get here are: - Stuffed Potato Pancakes (my fav.) - Strawberry Banana Crepes - Signature Brunch French Toast - South Beach Scrambler - Garden Omelette - Veggie Skillet

Went here for brunch with a group of girls and the food was absolutely amazing. We had ordered: Yogurt parfait: blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, granola, and low fat yogurt. Like any ordinary parfait. Ingredients were fresh and looked scrumptious. Red velvet French toast: red velvet cake filled with cream cheese icing and topped with strawberries and whip cream. This was good, but could not eat the whole thing. I had a piece of it and was delicious. Berry berry crepe: filled with a strawberry flavored cream cheese and loaded with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. This was my selection and I devoured it. My friends did help me. Nacho scramblers: scrambled eggs, tortilla chips, tomatoes, green onion, pepperjack cheese, salsa Verde, and sour cream. This was a pretty big plate so my friend had to take half of it home. Grilled veggie: portobello mushrooms, roasted red peppers, tomatoes, red onions, spinach, balsamic mayo, and mozzarella cheese. My sister ordered this and like it. It came with fries and tasted good. Service was good. Food was good. I had good company. What more could I have asked for. It was a Sunday so there was a wait time, but that was expected.

I can not believe i didn't try this place until now!! this place is nice, the staff are super nice, and we got our own little corner :P ( a bunch of moms with bunch of kids, that's why) Food served very fast, and very good too!! I ordered omelet, but they put too much cheese on it (i'm not a cheese person), but still tasty, my kids ate it all!!

Never thought there could be a yummy brunch place in the suburbs (and I don't mean IHOP). Went on a Sunday around 11:30, had about a 20 minute wait which was surprising considering it was so crappy out but..once I had the food I could see why. I had the south of the border dish without bacon which was super yummy...quite a large portion and my friend and I split the lemon poppyseed crepe which was OHMYGOD delicious! It was just slightly sweet (not over the top) with perfectly ripened blackberries and kiwis... it was honestly a little piece of heaven. Service was quick...nothing fancy nothing special...just quick and clean the way it should be. Prices are reasonable! I am totally coming back here when I visit the burbs again...sooo damn good.

My absolute favorite breakfast restaurant. They do breakfast foods with a twist and have yummy specials. My favorite is the crepes with eggs and vegetables while my husband likes the stuffed potato pancakes. Everyone we have taken there really enjoyed their selections. Have to go early on the weekends to beat the crowds.

Simply put, one of my personal favorite places for breakfast. For those that enjoy a nice hearty meal, try their Signature French Toast, Potato Skin Bennie (if you're a fan of potato skins) or The Irish skillet. The Berry bowl and toast is a popular choice for the kids.

Paul S.

Awesome. Nice interior. Very friendly staff. Very unique menu with excellent choices. Eggs Benedict with filet and sun dried tomatoes was one of the specials of the day. The meal was delicious. The meat was flavorful and soooo tender! The other dish that we ordered was the pecan roll french toast with eggs and bacon. It was also one of the three Sunday specials. Again, eggcellent! Bravo to the Chef and Owners of La Brunch Cafe. If your closest restaurant wasn't over an hour drive from my house I would be there every weekend!

Always crowded, but this is one of the few places I am willing to wait for. Love the south of the border, but everything else I have had has been top-notch. Make it a point to visit if you have never been.

This place is so amazing I almost dont want to admit it and let the world know. Service is fast and precise. We have never sent a dish back in the insane amount of times we have been here. They are good if you want to substitute things in the skillets etc, and don't give you dirty looks when you want to change something. Wait staff is incredible and knows their product. Food comes out so fast too. Waitstaff helps one another out too.....love that if they at taking another tables order another will come and help out and serve the dishes. Great policy.

THIS WAS THE BEST FRENCH TOAST IVE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!! it was sooooo yummy! i love banana bread anyway so this was right up my alley! my nephew got the red velvet french toast and those were awesome too! everything we ordered was so good that i wanna come back to try other things on the menu!

I really like the cafe for breakfast or lunch, it's all good! George and his staff are so friendly, he remembers names and faces so it has a neighborhood feel. I love their crepes and pancakes plus they offer a nice variety of brunch options, The decor is nice, the bathrooms clean and the service of quality. The food is really good, the staff is reliable for recommendations. They've expanded the place so the other side is also nice for hosting showers and meet-ups. No complaints, I come here often!

Long wait for eggs,. yes, but........VERY WORTH THE PAIN! The coffee could use a boost, but nothing else should be changed. Eggs done perfectly, quick service, reasonable prices. Carrot cake french toast? OMG.... and I am not usually a french toast guy. GET IT.

They need to work out the crowd situation around the cash register on Sunday mornings, but that is my only complaint. The food was great and our server was exemplary. The place was packed but she made us feel like her only table. We would definitely go back.

Get the poppy seed crepes!!! Or the Carmel Apple French toast....but that may have been a special. I always find something delicious on the menu!

The waiting area at this restaurant isn't ideal as the servers have to cross through it to get from the kitchen to one of the dining rooms. However, all that vanished once we were seated. I was pleasantly surprised that they sat our party incomplete (even though I would have understood if they hadn't). I ended up with a strawberry themed breakfast. I wasn't going to get the strawberry orange juice until I tasted the one my cousin ordered. I HAD to have me a glass....delish! Then I ordered the Strawberry Stuffed French Toast, stuffed with cream cheese and strawberries. It was HUGE. Glad I shared it! But man oh man, was it good! Everything tasted so fresh. The interior is simple, but clean. The service was lovely. Our server was very attentive. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll be back. (And I probably will because I have family who live in the area.)

Sarah L.

This is easily one of our favorite new breakfast joints and will definitely replace our trips to Woodfield's Wildberry. Service was attentive, clean and modern decor, and the food was literally out in a blink of an eye and delicious! Portions are huge and 1 dish can easily feed two people. An added bonus: Breafast cocktails! It's a bit of a drive out west but definitely worth a visit.

Chloe H.

I love it here. I take my dad with me for an occasional early breakfast. The waitstaff is down to earth and they give us plenty of time to choose our food. It comes out fast; usually we don't wait longer than 10 minutes. The omelettes are great, and portions are generous as one could expect with such a place. Sometimes I have to pick for my dad because he can't decide, and he has liked everything he's eaten so far: Belgian waffles, stuffed French toast, and the pancakes.
(5)
Chuck D.

I had to go back and give this 5 stars. Our search for the best breakfast place has been halted because we can't stop coming back here! I have not had the same thing twice and absolutely everything has been wonderful. Great staff, great food! There is always a crowd it seems, but it is handled well and the turnover is quick thanks to the fast, friendly service. So if you see its busy, don't let this deter you. My boyfriend and I actually moved further from the area, but still drive nearly a half hour to go to it. Yum!! Go here :)

I never knew what the term Burnch was until several years ago, a guy friend of mine wanted to grab "Brunch". Ever since then, I'm always wanting to grab brunch. Again, I' a GOOGLE gal, so that was the first thing I did when I wanted to grab brunch in this new town of mine from my move from MI. Of course, I came across a place titled "Brunch Cafe"...well duh! Obviously it severs BRUNCH! I had to go give it a try since it's the first place that I've ever seen with Brunch in its title. AWESOMEE.... The hostess is a small cute girl that is so nice each and every time we go there. The decor is so "homey" and comforting. I have only had to wait one time for a table and the other times, I was always seated right away (not that they weren't busy, it's because they are quick with cleaning and setting up) The food they serve is out of this world. They sure do want to make sure that you walk away full and happy. I always get too much in my stomach where a little adjustment of the waist is always needed. You have an assortment of dishes that you may choose from and it's always mind boggling to see everything they have for brunch! I brought my siblings here one time to show them this spectacular place I found and the first thing they noticed was the enormous servings. No one (even the boys) finished their meals as the skillets are very fulfilling. I brought my parents here one time and that was when we had to wait for our table. The 30 minute wait was worth it still! I did come here one time with my little girl (just her and I) and we had a slight accident that I thought was taken care of very well. We sat at a smaller table than I would have liked but I wasn't going to complain, they were busy out the door and I really wanted to eat there. Well, the buser was pushing the cart to gather the dirty dishes and accidently hit my little girls chair. He immediately apologized and asked right away if she was ok. Of course, she was fine, but I knew that if he had hit her, it would be a different story. Right after, two manager came up to me to make sure that my little girl was ok as well. No, they didn't wait until after, they dropped what they were doing and rushed over right away. Yes, they could have been worried that she was really injured by this small accident, but if they weren't worried, they wouldn't come over at all. You could tell that the managers truly cared for this business as I alway see them when I came there. We still come there here and there to grab a goo brunch.

We went to this place for brunch but were really in the mood for breakfast, the server was friendly but asked us about 10 times in the span of 10 minutes if we were ready to order, we were there for the first time and kind of settling in and I guess it was about time to close so she was just super anxious to serve us? When she realized it was our first time and we needed more time, she gave us more time but she could have asked us if we had any questions, because we did but they were never answered :( Anyway, I got the pancakes and potatoes (CARBS YEAH!!!) and they were both good, the pancakes were especially delightful. My boyfriend got the omelet, it was okay, but i'm never a fan of omelets to begin with. If I go back it would be for pancakes and mimosas, can't go wrong! I don't understand the big hype about this place and how people can eat so much damn food. The menu was small and nothing truly stuck out as ZOMG AMAZZZINNGGG.

Brunch Cafe is just a phenomenal restaurant, and they deserve every star. Every time I've gone, I've felt genuinely welcome. The hosts are incredibly friendly and have been able to get my girlfriend and I a table without any wait every time- even when the restaurant is very busy. The waitstaff is outgoing, fast, and responsive. It's refreshing to see servers that know their business so well- as a former server myself, I am impressed. What's really incredible is both how delicious the food is and how quickly it arrives. I don't think it's ever taken more than 10 minutes to get our meal. I'd personally recommend their pancakes, cinnamon roll french toast, scrambler platters, corned beef hash, and bacon. They are all exceptional dishes, nicely presented, and reasonably priced. The coffee is robust and exactly what you need to get going. The decor is simple, clean, warm and inviting- people just seem happy to be there. It's just what you need in the morning. I've eaten out at some really amazing breakfast restaurants, including a few very nice gourmet places in Chicago, so I won't say you can't find better food anywhere. However, if you're staying local and want your money to go a lot farther, you'll be hard pressed to find a nicer, friendlier, well run establishment than Brunch Cafe.

I don't know how they do it but once you get seated at the Brunch Cafe everything goes fast. You get served fast, the food is served about as quickly as possible, and, well you get the idea. The staff always seems friendly in spite of the busy lines which always seem to form on Sundays when I go. Take a chance on whatever specials they have, they've all been delicious so far.

Great twist on old favorites and their own dishes are excellent. Go for Breakfast or lunch but it's hard to choose what to order when so much is good.

Karolina N.

Came here for the first time on a Sunday, 8 am - before the breakfast rush started. Our party of 5 was sat down right away. We ordered and received our food amazingly fast. The menu has a lot to choose from and you really can't go wrong! French toast is delicious, especially the banana bread and their signature one. Fyi, the omlettes are big. The only reason they lost a star is because I felt a bit rushed to leave, even with the friendly service. Definitely recommended!

Syd F.

I am a huge fan of Brunch. However.... the fox river grove location is way better! The servers at Roselle location only come back to check on you to bring the check. Water glass was empty for the last half of meal which really bothers me! but food is delicious as always.

Just a quick review... The Brunch Cafe is an awesome breakfast place. A true hidden gem! Food is great (as well as fresh!), and service is friendly. Coffee is good. Portion sizes are generous, and presentation is good.

A busy, crowded waiting area? 30-minute wait to be seated for a Sunday brunch? Sounds like they imported all the aggravation of a big-city brunch out to the western burbs. I was almost tempted to jump back into my car & head to the nearest IHOP. But I decided to stay and wait. And was it worth it? Yes, it pretty much was. They have a pretty good-sized collection of breakfast/brunch/lunch items that range from very basic to very creative (plus daily specials). My favorite was the stuffed potato pancakes, a fairly simple creation (bacon & eggs scrambled between two potato pancakes, topped with melted cheddar) that was absolutely delicious. If you are not into breakfast-y fare, their sandwiches are pretty good two - I had a few bites of a reuben that was the best I had tasted since my last trip to New Yawk City. To those who would complain about prices, consider sharing a dish or two. The portion size of many of the entrees are enormous, which I guess appeals to the super-size suburban crowd. If you don't have an enourmous gut to fill, an omelette and a side dish or two could easily satisfy two persons of reasonably modest size. Service is friendly and fairly efficient. My only regret is not leaving enough room to sample one of their super-decadent pancake, waffle, or french toast dishes. On my way out I made a point to spy on other tables, to plot what I'll order on my next visit. Definitely one of the best brunch experiences I've had in a long time outside of the Chicago city limits.

Lunch with my mom here was a delight.I drove her almost paralyzed butt out to Elgin to her Chiropractor and on our way back the Brunch cafe was about the only thing we saw that looked cute and clean so we stopped in.We got seated right away but it was really crowded. We were instantly greeted by our beautiful peepy waitress! I did notice an employee trend here. All the waitresses are young and gorgeous. No problem with that since some of those crappy breakfast restaraunts hire really ugly waitresses and I sometimes loose my appetite before I even eat.So the pretty factor works for Brunch cafe. The menu is pretty big and has lots of options including fritattas,omelets, sanwiches,big pancake list, wraps,salads and benedicts.I ordered the south of the border which is a breakfast quesadilla and my mamma got the bruschetta salad. I ordered mine with no bacon and added some more veggies. When it came to the table it was hugemungus!! It must have contained 8 eggs! I extracted at least 5 of them.It was so good and the salsa it came with was extra spicey,I likey! My moms salad was hugeo too and had some crusty brushcetta bread on the side.She loved it and said the chicken was done perfectly. If I'm ever in the area again I would most def stop by.I think I would get some of their pancakes!

My wife and I ate here this morning for the first time. It will definitely be added to our list of favorite places to go to dine out. The stuffed crepe (savory) with ham & swiss was great. What was even better was they specialized the order and stuffed with eggs as well at my request. The food was delivered hot, delicious, and quick. Only thing I could say (not really a complaint) is that I almost wish there menu had 1/2 portions. Definitely received our money's worth here.

Beware doing takeout. I had a taste for a waffle but did not want to eat it there. I literally live one mile away. I drove picked up the waffle. Took it home. It was rubbery and cold like it was from the day before. Had to throw it away. Waste of a very expensive waffle. Never again

I hate to write this review. If I tell you exactly how good "Our Usual Place" is, then you'll flock there and we'll never get in. But it isn't fair of me to keep it all to ourselves. We have been going to Brunch Cafe since it opened and have never, in the dozens of times we've been, had anything less than exceptional service and stellar meals. I almost always go with something that's on special, and ALWAYS choose what they say is "new". They are not afraid of flavor or being creative with their ingredients. Yesterday, though, instead of breakfast, I opted for lunch. I had a craving for a simple patty melt. And this one was nothing fancy at all. But the marble rye was crisp yet tender, the patty was seasoned perfectly and was medium rare and juicy, the onions were sweet, soft and buttery, and the cheese was super melty and creamy. The fries? Perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. It was just a patty melt, but one of the best I've had, and I LOVE PATTY MELTS!

Now, living a block from Yolk, Bongo Room, and some of the best breakfast spots in the city, I have a high bar for breakfast. The menu is just insane. I got denver spuds, which are like potato skins with scrambled eggs, onions, cheese, etc. in there. That was pretty much the coolest breakfast menu item I'd ever seen. I wanted like everything on the menu, but had to go with the one I'll least likely find anywhere else, and it was solid. I was with 3 other people who all really liked what they got as well. The service was pretty average but the food was above average (flavor didn't blow me away, but definitely would go back). I think this will be my go-to spot when I'm in the burbs.

Solid brunch food. HUGE portions. Allowed a group of 4 of us to sit and chat for two hours. The food is good but not amazing, however, I don't think you can expect AMAZING from a suburban Illinois brunch spot. The savory California crepe was surprisingly tasty. I ordered a cobb salad which was huge and did not skimp on ingredients. Total per person was probably $15.

Great new place in the neighborhood. It is a medium-sized newly opened restaurant. It is clean and airy when you walk in with complimentary colors on the walls. If you are unsure what to order while waiting to be seated, check out the special board WITH PLATTERS ON DISPLAY on the small table at the front! As I am a visual person, it is great to see what the food actually looks like when choosing! We went at noon on a Sunday, since the game was on (I know, I know bad planning) it was not too crowded. We only waited about ten minutes for a party of seven. I have heard the wait can be longer and they may be expanding (into the open store-front next door) soon. Either way, most people expect some type of wait for brunch...NBD. I chose to order the CHOCOLATE crepe special (yes, dessert for breakfast!) with blackberries, strawberries, and white chocolate chips on top of two crepes made of milk chocolate. VERY rich, but worth it! The coffee was great tasting (it might sound like something that should be taken for granted, but many breakfast spots have coffee that tastes like the grinds!) with all the condiments (including flavored creamer...yeah!) on the table. It was a nice change of pace that the cup was large enough to keep me satisfied through most of the meal. My counterparts ordered the biscuits with gravy, omlettes, nacho fritatta, and their speciality french toast (more like yummy bread pudding with fruit on top) with rave reviews from all. It can be difficult to please everyone in a large group, but this place did it (and many of the guests at the table are repeat customers that have never been disappointed). The repeaters always order the fresh-squeezed orange-strawberry juice, but I needed my coffee so I cannot comment other than passing along their positive remarks. The service was with a smile (even when we asked to make change) and recommendations at every turn (there is such a variety of choices on the menu that it is hard to decide!)....it is hard to find friendly service from the host, the cashier, and the wait staff. I hope that since they are new this doesn't fall by the wayside as they get busier. I am keeping my fingers crossed and will visit again when I am in the neighborhood to try something else on the menu :)

My wife and I have gone to this place a several times now and it still has been very good. The omelets are very big and fluffy. i don't care too much for the breakfast potatoes unless you ask them to have them well done. Then the potatoes are perfect. The savory crepes and very delicious and the waffles are even better. Service is always fast and friendly so a win win so far. Looking forward to another visit soon.

I love Brunch Cafe! I am so happy that it opened up! Everything that I've had so far has been really good. I love the Eggs Benedict and I especially recommend the Berry Bowl. It is a bowl of fresh raspberries, blueberries and strawberries with a side of delicious topping! I go every time I get the chance. :) The service is friendly and fast. My only wish is that they had real cream for my coffee instead of the individualized mini half & half's that I have to open up. The price point is also just right, and for the money, I don't think it gets better.

First time me & my family tried it, we had to wait for about 20 minutes. There was a long line ahead of us & just when I was just about to walk, George, the very amiable host called my name & set us up on a nice comfortable booth. Tina,one of the charming servers came to take our orders. Just a few minutes after we were served our drinks came our orders. Service was incredibly swift & very efficient. I love their ham & Swiss crepe. I'd recommend their Reuben sandwich. w/c was tenderly delicious served with their custom baked marble bread. My kids loved the berry pancakes. All in all, it was a terrific food experience for us..I'd say kudos to all the guys & dolls at the Brunch Cafe in Roselle.

Liz F.

We had lunch here on a Sunday, even though it was later in the afternoon it was still pretty packed. My bf and I both had breakfast, and I had a bloody Mary and coffee. The service was pretty good, but the food was excellent. I had the traditional eggs Benedict- the eggs were perfectly cooked, and the English muffin wasn't soggy (which I consider a sign of a place that knows what they're doing). Best of all my meal came with brunch potatoes which were delicious. My bf had the cinnamon-bun French toast. He's not one to typically order a sweet breakfast but he loved this. It was sweet with out being over bearing. The food came out quickly and our server was attentive but not pushy. Note- they do not have a full bar, or even beer and wine. They only have bloody Mary's and Mimosas.

Lesley C.

This place rocks! We used to go all the way to Savoury in Barlett for "unique" breakfast options, so it's nice that this is in our neck of the woods. Menu-wise, there's something to please every palate, savory or sweet. My favorite is the breakfast panini with eggs, tomato and lots of goat cheese on sourdough bread with delicious breakfast potatoes. I've also enjoyed the breakfast sliders, Service is friendly and efficient, and servers are very good about special requests. Pricing is on par with most sit-down brekkie places -- about $10-$11/pp for breakfast (including tax and tip). Highly recommend.

DAN D.

Had to get food two times and both times French toast was burnt. Service was sub par and hostess was awful. She asked us how everything was and after saying "not good" her response was "oh". Yup that was it. I can safely say I'm sticking to omega from now on.

Allison C.

I have been to this cafe a number of times and absolutely love it. I have had the banana french toast which is amazing. Also any kind of egg dish you get, you will be getting tons of other food as well. The food is delicious and very filling. The atomsphere is geared towards families and the wait staff does a good job. The brunch cafe is never too crowded and you will get seated within a few minutes of walking in their door. I would definitely recommend you checking that place out if you are looking for good breakfast food and at a reasonable price!

Carin C.

We have lived in the the area for over 10 years and have eaten at every breakfast place within a 10 mile radius... Brunch Cafe has taken the top spot hands down! You know you've hit a home run when there is no place you would rather go. Order South Of the Border - the home made salsa is perfection!

Angela P.

Fred, Milo and I went here yesterday (Sunday) to meet my cousin for brunch and we were very happy with our choice! We had to wait about 20-30 minutes to get in but it was definitely worth the wait. We were promptly greeted from our server and placed our order shortly after. The food seriously came with lightning speed!! And it was delicious! I had the stuffed potato pancakes that I had read about on here and they were phenomenal! Fred had the Irish skillet and my cousin had the Portobenny which is a version of eggs benedict that used portobello mushroom caps instead of english muffins...that was SO good too! I just realized, right now actually, that they forgot to bring me my side of sausage links, but I will get them next time. We will definitely be going back here in the near future because it isn't too far from our house and the food was AWESOME!

Evelyn Z.

Yummy yummy in my tummy!!! Lol blueberry bliss pancakes were HEAVEN!! I tried two of their skillets ehhhh pretty standard in the flavor department but that all gets fixed with a mimosa or their tasty smoothies. Service friendly, but either call ahead to get your name on the list or get there early.

We usually have brunch here after Sunday mass and it never fails to deliver the best food possible at reasonable prices. We have had most items on the menu and we never had a bad meal. My favorites are the banana bread French toast, the omelets, and pancakes. Excellent service as well.

Maryann G.

I have been here several times and have never been disappointed with what they have to offer. Their service is great with friendly staff and servers. Quality of food is awesome and I don't have to wait too long just to get our meals. I try to order different things every visit to go about their menu, and I have always been highly satisfied with the taste, quality, and meal portions. I'm glad they're just around the corner and is very easy to find.

Luke M.

It is a really great place to eat at. It is clean, nice location, great staff and the food is fantastic. When I order an omelet, I get a huge plate of food AND on top of that an order of pancakes (or toast if you choose). There are a lot of options for breakfast there. So, in short, food good, big variety of breakfast items, friendly staff and a neighborhood feel. What else is there to ask for?
(5)
Dave G.

Been here twice now and have been fairly impressed. Very busy on the weekends, but the wait was not too bad. 1st time I went, I waited a bit for service, but it was very busy and i was in no hurry. They actually cleared a table being used as a coffee station to seat me. I had the South Beach Scrambler with bacon, avocado, cheese and spinach. Eggs were cooked to perfection. Creamy and moist like they should be. Toast was good, coffee was better than average. So impressed with the eggs, I took some home to the gf. She loved them. Went with her the next weekend and she had what I had and loved it. I had the country fried steak and it was just ok. Gravy was good but not much of it. I'm a french toast guy, but the side of pancakes were very good. Want to try the red velvet french toast...next time. Will give this place a few more go's. Very well could be my new go-to breakfast joint.

Molly T.

I have been meaning to write a review on this place since December. I am from San Francisco and San Franciscans love to eat!! If there is a new restaurant in town, we will be there. We are hard to please too when it comes to food. SO....I thought this place was great for the price you pay. We ordered pancakes and scrambled eggs. Portions were huge!! For the 4 of us, the bill was about $35 with tip. Service was ridiculously fast!!! We ordered and food arrived within a few minutes. However, food was nothing special. I was satisfied and full. Again, great service. There is a hotel nearby which is great for out-of-towners.

Was wonderful. A pleasant surprise for a saturday lunch. Had a special which had bread pudding, ham and eggs. I haven't seen such a nice slab of ham in ages. Took home the pudding to enjoy tonite. It was a nice surprise because we hadn't been there in ages. Won't wait this long again.

My absolutely favorite place to eat! Amazing breakfast especially the stuffed waffles with fresh strawberries and bananas. Delicious eggs benedict! Yummy loaded breakfast potatoes! Great lunch specials and huge salads. Delicious chicken sandwich. Wait staff is great, always refilling drinks and very friendly. Packed on the weekends, expect to wait at most 10 minutes for a table. Never had a bad meal and I have been going since they opened.

This is a great breakfast, brunch place in the suburbs. They have lots of choices and variety. Beware, you will get full! I have had their omelets, skillet dishes, and crepes. You'll get your traditional breakfast and brunch foods at this place. The decorations were good and the service was excellent.

Brunch Cafe is very good. The service is always friendly, and the food is always great. I have been coming here since it opened and have almost the entire menu. The Banana Bread French Toast and the Stuffed Potato Pancake are my favorites but everything is great. I love that they have specials, not too many breakfast places have featured specials that they add to the menu. Seriously, go here and get the Banana Bread French Toast!!

Met 2 friends here for lunch this week. One had a breakfast sandwich and really enjoyed it. I had the chicken salad sandwich. It was excellent. The only thing that would change my vote to 5 stars is to have choices of sides.

LOVE IT! We will be back many times for as long as they'll have us. the food is all fantastic. So glad I bought groupons for this place I had no idea they even existed. I have now made this a regular weekend stop.

I have been eating at brunch for over a year and half now. They have the best breakfast food I've tasted at any diner in the burbs or anywhere else for that matter. I can't believe that someone gave them two stars! This restaurant is a gem and I'm glad georges business is doing so well! The Reubens are amazing, the french toast is to die for, and the chicken parm sandwich is the best chicken I've ever eaten. I've never had to wait longer than 15 minutes on a BUSY Sunday! They staff is the best and always know your name. Terri is the best waitress and she's a big reason I love eating there. Its rare to see an owner everyday in his restaurant greeting customers, expediting orders, and even knowing a regulars voice on the phone. I straight up love this place. I can't say enough things about it and I've never had a single issue. Anyone that isn't amazed by the fresh food or has issues with the price should go back to IHOP. You pay for quality and this is the best.

This is a great place to try something new each visit. Staff is friendly. Food is great. Current favorites are the french toast and the omelets.

Awesome. Been there so many times and great every time. They always make sure you have a full cup of coffee and their food is awesome. If you haven't had the cinnamon french toast, get it!

I love Brunch Cafe. The unfortunate thing about this place is that it has significantly RAISED my bar in diner/breakfast experience. Their limited hours generally don't fit my "dining out" schedule. My family (picky eaters) from out of state visited for a week. They went here for brunch 4 days in a row!!!! My favorite thing is the veggie skillet. But, everything is good... I look forward to going back :)

Chris T.

Highly recommended! I have been here a handful of times and have had great service each time. The food has been exceptional and the management is very friendly. The only time I was disappointed, was when they ran out of their daily special. Everyone I have recommened to here has been extremely satisfied!

I can sum up this place in 3 words: butter, butter, butter. I ordered a ham and cheddar omelet which tasted like it had at minimum a stick of butter in it, and it was large enough to feed 2 people for portion size and 4 people for calories. My friends' orders were no different, overloaded w/ butter. The only thing w/o the overwhelming butter taste was the coffee which was sludge (the waitress said it was an improved coffee blend from the last kind they had, so I shudder to think what it was previously). The service was great though and more than made up for the coffee buzz kill. This place got mobbed about 5 minutes after being seated, so try calling ahead if you don't want to wait. Overall, a decent brunch option in the burbs.

Went here on a Saturday about 30 mins before closing and it was empty. Which is not a bad thing, I hate waiting. And usually brunch places = long waits. But, usually long waits also mean good place. Fortunately, this short wait didn't equate to crappy food. They had a lot of different options including lunch. Which is great. Sometimes you go to brunch places and all they have is breakfast. They forget that brunch is a portmanteau of breakfast and lunch. Ok ok, I admit, I just wanted to use that word in a yelp review. It's one of those words that most people never use, but everyone is aware of them. Anyway, back to the food. Wife got a panini which she enjoyed. She wasn't in the mood for breakfast food I guess. Oh she got a smoothie which was very delicious. They even had the seeds so you know it's fresh. Or maybe they add seeds, either way, it's good. I got a south beach scrambler. It's kind like a skillet, but a little different I guess. It's not mixed together I think. I like that they have different options for meat. A lot of places only have ham/sausage/bacon. But these days a lot of people like to do turkey sausage/bacon, so its' nice to see the variety. Oh they have Wifi.

1 pm on a Sunday: We were shown quickly to a table where we found the usual decor mix of tables and booths. I felt a bit out of place because I wasn't wearing a Cubs uniform. Service was brusque and to the point: it was busy. The cappuccino was weak. My crispy bacon (see photo) was totally burnt. Sausages were fine. I had sliced tomatoes, not potatoes, with my meal and the plate looked bare. On top of that, it was all simply bland. My girlfriend's turkey burger and fries were "dull." We weren't asked at anytime if it was good. The whole experience was very average and I'll not go back. It was not unpleasant, just really average.

Shannon P.

I don't know how this place has 4 and a half stars. The food is mediocre at best and overpriced, the coffee tasted burnt (like it had been sitting on the warmer for a long time), our server was rude (though some of the other servers I observed seemed much friendlier). I feel like I wasted my money.

John J.

Tried to reserve seating for two but the wouldn't do that if its less than six people. Also, two many people standing around the entrance which made it difficult to enter. Was told I would have at least a 20 minute wait. Decided to go to Wildberry in Schaumburg.

Jeff G.

I just wanted to add another review after having visited here a few times. There is really no place close by that can touch their quality of food. There are basics to choose from that are done well, but the gourmet offerings are superb. I just finished off a chicken sandwich with apple slices, bacon and avocado that was excellent. It is well worth the trip and prices are reasonable. Coffee and lunch was $13 which I feel is a great value for what you get.

Stuffed French toast... Yumm also try mediteranean omelet with mushrooms. Luv this place- big portions & great food!!! But your making me fat, lol.

Scott D.

This place is A-OK for me. I had the Mile High Omlette which you may guess is your typical Denver Omlette. The taste was nothing special but did get the job done in erasing my hunger pains. The cheese in the omlette was a little over bearing and the country potatoes that comes with this dish was basically tasteless. The service was spot on. The total for the omlette plus tax was $10 on the nose.

Paul M.

I have been to Brunch Cafe twice now and I have been very impressed both times. The food quality is excellent and the portions are rediculous (in a good way). This time i did manage to finish my meal (Caliente omlet), but I could barely breath when I was done. haha The service is good and the waitress was on top of the coffee before we could get low. The only negative is the wait to get in. If you go during a peak time be prepared to wait a long time. Sunday morning to early afternoon the wait can be 30 minutes plus. There is a lot of waiting area, but it gets full quickly.

Jennifer S.

Ive visited Brunch Cafe twice in just as many weeks and I am already looking forward to going back. My son loved the Blueberry Bliss Cakes! He actually called the cream drizzled over it - Heavenly. My husband ordered an omelet that was practically the size of his head. Way too much food! But, it was cooked perfectly and that's a big deal to him. I had a short stack of chocolate chip pancakes with crisp bacon. My only question is why I got four strips of bacon on my first trip in and only three strips a week later. Kinda strange. Overall, a nice experience. Good service. Owners/managers standing at the door to greet you with a smile. Yum!
(4)
Noomi J.

Large portions with average prices. I've been here 3-4 times and have tried their country fried steak, stuffed french toast, meat omelette, and pancakes. I can't remember the others. But tastewise, they were fairly good, nothing spectacular. Good service with food arriving in a timely manner.
(3)
Judd O.

Service was top notch. Got seated quickly and got our check quickly. Went pretty late in the day though so I'm not sure how crazy packed they can get. I had a veggie skillet, it was OK- not great. My girlfriend had the nacho omelette and it was awesome. She also had a strawberry mimosa and wasn't too thrilled.
(4)
Trisa G.

This was one of the best breakfast meals I have had. Great service, atmosphere and food. As an added bonus I was very impressed that they served tea using tea leaves. Awesome!!! Again the menu selection would meet anyone's taste buds. I would highly recommend the Brunch Cafe.
(4)
Christina E.

I went here for the first time on Monday. We got seated right away. Service was very fast and our waitress was very friendly. The food here was great!! I will be coming back here for sure. The menu has a huge variety of every possible breakfast you can choose from! I would say cost wise it is pretty average compared to other breakfast places. Our bill was $45 total, but we had 4 Mimosas on there. Each of our dishes was about 8.99 and there was enough to take home for breakfast the next day if we wanted.
(5)
Pravar V.

Its one of the best breakfast places in Schaumburg area. The quantity is good enough for an individual. I have been to this place so many times but never experienced lower quality food. The service is quick as always. Its always crowded. They dont take reservations for less than 8 people. This is the only reason I didnt give 5 Star.

Josh M.

I am always down to try and new breakfast place to find the best b's and g's or good skillet. This place goes way past the usual fair that you see at your basic diner. The menu is like a top hits mixed with a stoners wet dream of menu items. I have been here a couple of times now and I seriously would like to try all of the menu items because they all sound that good. Too bad the hours are just for brunch because I would go here late night Denny's style to get my breakfast for dinner fix. I have had a couple of the menu items so far including the veggie skillet which was good but not great, breakfast sliders that I would definitely order again, and the brunch chicken sandwich that was an interesting combo but worked nicely. Service was fast and friendly and everything was cooked perfectly the couple of times we have went here. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a good alternative to the basic diner even though they do the classics just as good. I know ill be going back.

Mary B.

My husband and I literally stumbled upon this place after we gave up on Savoury recently. Wow! The staff is very friendly and make it a point to ask (very sincerely) how everything is/was. The menu choices range from some of the more typical breakfast options to some really creative (and yummy) dishes. Their French toast options are all really good. They also have really interesting specials. This is the only local breakfast place that I actually order coffee at because it's really good quality. Wait staff is friendly and prompt. On Sunday mornings there can be quite a line, but they're very organized and seem to move the line along pretty quickly (and the food is worth waiting for). The atmosphere is comfortable and nicely designed.

Alex R.

This is one of my favorite breakfast spots. The service is fantastic, and they always get the food out to us very quickly. Their portions are huge so I'm always full when I leave. My girlfriend gets the California Crepe, and it comes with two generous portions. I come here for the Steak Skillet. It's cheesy and nicely packed with steak and mushrooms. I'm not a huge fan of the square-cut potatoes in the skillet, but everything else makes up for it. While the coffee and pancakes are just ok, I love this place because of the service, portion sizes, and the overall quality of the food. Definitely come here for a delicious and filling breakfast!

Kris L.

Yum! This has become the new breakfast "go to" spot when it's my turn to visit my friend out in her hood. Service was good, waitress was super sweet. I ordered the whole grain french toast while my friend had the south beach omelet with breakfast potatoes. Everything was super delish, I even helped my buddy polish off those potatoes. The strawberry OJ was sweet and a bit sugary (which I was a fan of, however some of you may not be). My only gripe was that when the bill came I was charged an additional .50 cents for syrup. I didn't ask for it, it came out with the meal so I was a bit confused. I did love that our server let us sit and chat for over an hour while the restaurant had people waiting to be seated. Didn't feel rushed one bit!
(4)
Lisa M.

I definitely will be back here! My mom and I were looking for a nice late lunch and we decided to try it. We were not disappointed at all! We arrived slightly before One and they were still busy but we were promptly seated. Our server was excellent and always made sure my mom had coffee. We had ordered the Meat & Potato skillet and an Omelet (forgot the name but it had bacon, ham & sausage). Not only did our food come out super quick, but the portions were huge! I cannot wait to come back again and try more of the menu!

Mmmmmmimosas are mmmmmmmm good! Best pancakes in town. Only comment, is they should offer shredded hash browns, if they did, it would be the only breakfast spot for me.
(4)
Loki C.

The food is fantastic and we always have great service. The only thing I'd caution anyone wanting to stop by for breakfast is that there is typically a wait. There are some very innovative recipes here with unusual twists to classic breakfast and lunch dishes--I think it's why it's such a popular spot.
(5)
Sara B.

I really like this place. My friends and i have been here for breakfast a couple times. The portions are huge and enough to feed 3 people usually. I found this place on yelp and would tell anyone to try it out! Love their hot tea selections and strawberry oj as well

Jenny F.

Brunch CafÃ© is the BEST place to go for breakfast/lunch. The food is always fantastic. The soups they offer are always amazing and homemade. The omelet is the best I ever had in my life. The service is good and food comes out quick! LOVE IT!

Food is always fantastic. Unfortunately we eat there all the time, so it is not very exciting for us, but every time the food is great, nice portion size and great service. Highly recommend

Been here twice now. I can't wait to go back. Usually a long line on weekends, though moves along fairly quickly. My first visit I ordered the "Ay Caramba!" skillet. I love spicy foods, and this tasted delicious without burning my palate. The chorizo was the highlight and star of the dish. My second visit I ordered the "Cinnamon Roll French Toast." Now, I love cinnamon rolls, but this didn't quite live up to my expectations. I should have just ordered "savory" like I usually do. The french toast itself tasted fine, but that's just it. Tasted just like any other french toast, just with some "extra" cinnamon in it. The vanilla icing (like in a cinnamon roll) they added just seemed not enough to me. Maybe a little more would have brought out those cinnamon roll flavors. In all, the place is still amazing. I'd always go back. Don't be discouraged by the long lines, wait usually isn't as bad.
(5)
Kristine M.

This is one of my favorite places to go in the suburbs for breakfast or lunch. The service is always good and drinks are refilled prompetly. I generally order the cinnamon roll french toast or the stuffed waffle for breakfast. The food always comes out hot and in a timely manner. I have eaten here for lunch once and got the chicken salad sandwich which I give two thumbs up. The restaurant is very accomodating for a large group of people for seating and when it comes to the check. Most restaurants give you a hard time for splitting the check, but everytime I've gone here, the servers ask up front if we want the check split. Lastly, the prices are so reasonable which makes it an added bonus when dining here.

We found this place on yelp while visiting family just outside of Chicago. What a find! This place was so good we went back the next day. Thanks whole menu looks amazing. I had the potato skins benedict. They were so good a twist on the classic eggs benedict. It was a hollowed out potato skin with bacon and cheese a poached egg and hollandaise sauce and came with fresh melon. The coffee refills were fast and plentiful. I tried some of my sisters chocolate chip pancakes and they were to die for as were was the red velvet french Toast. We can't wait to go back to Chicago to visit this place again. My one tip would be to get there on the earlier side for breakfastthey get busy.

Totally dig this place. Bought the Living Social deal. So happy I did. Yummy all around. Great location, pleasant atmosphere, and good food. Blueberry pancakes = delicious.

Brunch Cafe is one of my favorite places for breakfast. Located in a strip mall setting on Lake St., there is plenty of parking. It looks like it fills several units in the strip, so it appears to have multiple entrances, but there is actually only one. Once you find the right door and enter, you are immediately greeted by the hosts at the greeter station/checkout counter. There are lots of tables and booths, and they need every one of them. I have always been lucky enough to be seated immediately, but Brunch Cafe does get busy. I usually see people waiting for a table after I am seated. Sample plates of the breakfast specials are on display just inside the door, so be sure to take a peek before going to your table. Seeing them is much more tempting than hearing them described in words. The servers are very busy, but they always seem friendly and happy to take care of me. Tina has provided great service with a smile the last two times that I have been to Brunch Cafe. This was even through my repeated requests for water refills. I cannot get enough water! You might be asking yourself when I am going to talk about the food...I have been saving the best for last. The breakfast food is fantastic. Red velvet french toast with eggs and a giant slab of ham off the bone...decadent! California quiche... delicious! Veggie stuffed potato pancakes Benedict... savory! Lemon poppyseed french toast... taste sensation! Everything is cooked perfectly. The food comes fast too. They must have a very efficient kitchen staff. You will not go away hungry because the portions are large at a reasonable price. As with many breakfast places, they will give you your check at the table, but you need to walk back to the previously mention counter to pay. Not a big deal, because I like that Tina and the other servers are concentrating on keeping me fed. Brunch Cafe is a great example of what a breakfast spot should be. I just wish it was in Bartlett instead of Roselle. No matter though, because I will be back.

So, I stop for lunch and I walk in the door at 2:20 in the afternoon not knowing they close at 2:30. They welcome me in to have lunch as stay as long as I want. Never rushed or anything. That says it all about customer service!!!

Greg M.

The food was very good and reasonably priced. I would recommend it if your in the area.

This place was swamped when I went (then again it was a sunday afternoon) But the wait was atleast 20 min. They have a lot of varieties for breakfast & lunch My dad & I loved both of our orders If you like chai tea lattes try theirs! It was perfect! Definitely going back :)
(4)
Jenny C.

I love the Brunch Cafe because you can order a mimosa. The place is jam-packed during the weekend breakfasts, but most places are. I'd say that the Brunch Cafe is worth the wait. I had ordered the berry waffle, it was a decent-sized portion, and SO fluffy. My boyfriend ordered a skillet and loved it. Their potatoes are seasoned and taste awesome. Also, get their mimosa. I have tried the strawberry mimosa that was recommended to me by a waitress once, but it tasted like it was also mixed with orange juice and it tasted funny. I would go with the traditional one.
(4)
Carolyn W.

This is the best breakfast restaurant in the area. Every item on the menu I have tried has exceeded my expectations. The waitresses are super friendly as well. Don't miss this one. There is always a wait on the weekend, but it is worth the wait!

Joe M.

Perpetual fence sitters unite! Throw down the shackles of conformity! When you are asked to choose between breakfast and lunch: REFUSE and choose BRUNCH! More specifically, choose The Brunch Cafe. This place was hoppin' with wait staff bustling and customers everywhere. Yet, the service was spot on and quick. We started with Orange-Strawberry Mimosas and they we're awesome. I opted for the Potato Skin Bennies, where they get rid of that healthy English muffin in Eggs Benedict and replace with potato skins. I'm sure the fat content could have killed a manatee but, it was sooo worth it. My wife order THE BEST french toast I've ever had: The Dreamsicle. This is a orange blossom infused batter for the toast topped with white chocolate chips and brunch cream. I don't even like French Toast and I kept trying to steal my wife's. I highly recommend the Brunch Cafe. It won't disappoint unless you are opposed to deliciousness.

Chris P B.

Hands down best breakfast place in the suburbs. Not the cheapest one but you get a decent meal and honest service with a smile. Their food is consistent and you can rest assured that no matter you choose it will be prepared up to the standards.

Kay N.

went on after reading other yelp reviews. my son and i stopped in for breakfast yesterday. food was terrific. the boy had a waffle like ive never seen...i swear it was like 4 inches thick...crunchy on the outside but soft and tasty as well. i has an omelet with swiss cheese and spinach...and my bacon came just like i asked for it..." kinda sorta well done" which isnt even really a way to order anything, but they got it right! i would definitely recommend!
(5)
Isabelle L.

I had the opportunity to try out the brunch cafe at 8 am on a week day (pretty quiet place at that time) and it was a really nice experience. Service was really friendly, coffee kept on getting promptly refilled but more importantly the food was really good: perfect omelet and fine breakfast potatoes. I'll definitely be back when in the area. A lot of things on the menu I do want to try.
(4)
Jim G.

Coffee was so-so. Had the corned beef hash skillet. It was good but the hash was mostly potatoes and very little corned beef. Service was very good. I will go back again

Will S.

I love breakfast and lunch, so a place that specializes in both is my kind of place. This is my kind of place! I've eaten here many times and have always been impressed. They understand that people eat first with their eyes. Every plate that comes out of the kitchen looks like a food stylist plated it. And they have the 2nd part down, as well. Last time I had the Country Fired steak. Perfectly cooked, with a nice crunchy crust, covered with a nice gravy. Tasted wonderful. My wife got the Stuffed Potato Pancakes. She thought they were the best she'd had. All in all, if you like breakfast, lunch, or brunch, this place is amazing.
(5)
Joanna K.

I would give a 4.5 overall for this breakfast place. It's a pretty new place in this neighborhood. They offer a wide variety of breakfast and lunch items. Their service is fast! Their staff is very friendly. We got our food within 5-10 minutes of ordering. The items on their menu is reasonably priced. Although I have seen better. I have only been here a couple times and definitely will be coming back because their food is delicious. Although some of the items are a bit greasy. Brunch Cafe offers some different items on their menu that you would not see at other breakfast places. Definitely a good place to try them all. The portions are HUGE! You'll definitely will be bring home some leftovers. My favorite things to get here are: - Stuffed Potato Pancakes (my fav.) - Strawberry Banana Crepes - Signature Brunch French Toast - South Beach Scrambler - Garden Omelette - Veggie Skillet

Dee C.

Went here for brunch with a group of girls and the food was absolutely amazing. We had ordered: Yogurt parfait: blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, granola, and low fat yogurt. Like any ordinary parfait. Ingredients were fresh and looked scrumptious. Red velvet French toast: red velvet cake filled with cream cheese icing and topped with strawberries and whip cream. This was good, but could not eat the whole thing. I had a piece of it and was delicious. Berry berry crepe: filled with a strawberry flavored cream cheese and loaded with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. This was my selection and I devoured it. My friends did help me. Nacho scramblers: scrambled eggs, tortilla chips, tomatoes, green onion, pepperjack cheese, salsa Verde, and sour cream. This was a pretty big plate so my friend had to take half of it home. Grilled veggie: portobello mushrooms, roasted red peppers, tomatoes, red onions, spinach, balsamic mayo, and mozzarella cheese. My sister ordered this and like it. It came with fries and tasted good. Service was good. Food was good. I had good company. What more could I have asked for. It was a Sunday so there was a wait time, but that was expected.

I can not believe i didn't try this place until now!! this place is nice, the staff are super nice, and we got our own little corner :P ( a bunch of moms with bunch of kids, that's why) Food served very fast, and very good too!! I ordered omelet, but they put too much cheese on it (i'm not a cheese person), but still tasty, my kids ate it all!!

Swati B.

Never thought there could be a yummy brunch place in the suburbs (and I don't mean IHOP). Went on a Sunday around 11:30, had about a 20 minute wait which was surprising considering it was so crappy out but..once I had the food I could see why. I had the south of the border dish without bacon which was super yummy...quite a large portion and my friend and I split the lemon poppyseed crepe which was OHMYGOD delicious! It was just slightly sweet (not over the top) with perfectly ripened blackberries and kiwis... it was honestly a little piece of heaven. Service was quick...nothing fancy nothing special...just quick and clean the way it should be. Prices are reasonable! I am totally coming back here when I visit the burbs again...sooo damn good.

Karen F.

My absolute favorite breakfast restaurant. They do breakfast foods with a twist and have yummy specials. My favorite is the crepes with eggs and vegetables while my husband likes the stuffed potato pancakes. Everyone we have taken there really enjoyed their selections. Have to go early on the weekends to beat the crowds.
(5)
Gary C.

Simply put, one of my personal favorite places for breakfast. For those that enjoy a nice hearty meal, try their Signature French Toast, Potato Skin Bennie (if you're a fan of potato skins) or The Irish skillet. The Berry bowl and toast is a popular choice for the kids.
(5)
Paul S.

Awesome. Nice interior. Very friendly staff. Very unique menu with excellent choices. Eggs Benedict with filet and sun dried tomatoes was one of the specials of the day. The meal was delicious. The meat was flavorful and soooo tender! The other dish that we ordered was the pecan roll french toast with eggs and bacon. It was also one of the three Sunday specials. Again, eggcellent! Bravo to the Chef and Owners of La Brunch Cafe. If your closest restaurant wasn't over an hour drive from my house I would be there every weekend!

Craig O.

Always crowded, but this is one of the few places I am willing to wait for. Love the south of the border, but everything else I have had has been top-notch. Make it a point to visit if you have never been.

K S.

This place is so amazing I almost dont want to admit it and let the world know. Service is fast and precise. We have never sent a dish back in the insane amount of times we have been here. They are good if you want to substitute things in the skillets etc, and don't give you dirty looks when you want to change something. Wait staff is incredible and knows their product. Food comes out so fast too. Waitstaff helps one another out too.....love that if they at taking another tables order another will come and help out and serve the dishes. Great policy.

my friend kept boasting about this place so we had to try it. went yesterday for breakfast wit my friend and nephew and we all LOVED our meals! my friend and i both ordered the banana bread french toast with banana slices on top. THIS WAS THE BEST FRENCH TOAST IVE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!! it was sooooo yummy! i love banana bread anyway so this was right up my alley! my nephew got the red velvet french toast and those were awesome too! everything we ordered was so good that i wanna come back to try other things on the menu!

I really like the cafe for breakfast or lunch, it's all good! George and his staff are so friendly, he remembers names and faces so it has a neighborhood feel. I love their crepes and pancakes plus they offer a nice variety of brunch options, The decor is nice, the bathrooms clean and the service of quality. The food is really good, the staff is reliable for recommendations. They've expanded the place so the other side is also nice for hosting showers and meet-ups. No complaints, I come here often!

Scott F.

Long wait for eggs,. yes, but........VERY WORTH THE PAIN! The coffee could use a boost, but nothing else should be changed. Eggs done perfectly, quick service, reasonable prices. Carrot cake french toast? OMG.... and I am not usually a french toast guy. GET IT.

Chris B.

They need to work out the crowd situation around the cash register on Sunday mornings, but that is my only complaint. The food was great and our server was exemplary. The place was packed but she made us feel like her only table. We would definitely go back.

Get the poppy seed crepes!!! Or the Carmel Apple French toast....but that may have been a special. I always find something delicious on the menu!

The waiting area at this restaurant isn't ideal as the servers have to cross through it to get from the kitchen to one of the dining rooms. However, all that vanished once we were seated. I was pleasantly surprised that they sat our party incomplete (even though I would have understood if they hadn't). I ended up with a strawberry themed breakfast. I wasn't going to get the strawberry orange juice until I tasted the one my cousin ordered. I HAD to have me a glass....delish! Then I ordered the Strawberry Stuffed French Toast, stuffed with cream cheese and strawberries. It was HUGE. Glad I shared it! But man oh man, was it good! Everything tasted so fresh. The interior is simple, but clean. The service was lovely. Our server was very attentive. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll be back. (And I probably will because I have family who live in the area.)

This is easily one of our favorite new breakfast joints and will definitely replace our trips to Woodfield's Wildberry. Service was attentive, clean and modern decor, and the food was literally out in a blink of an eye and delicious! Portions are huge and 1 dish can easily feed two people. An added bonus: Breafast cocktails! It's a bit of a drive out west but definitely worth a visit.

I love it here. I take my dad with me for an occasional early breakfast. The waitstaff is down to earth and they give us plenty of time to choose our food. It comes out fast; usually we don't wait longer than 10 minutes. The omelettes are great, and portions are generous as one could expect with such a place. Sometimes I have to pick for my dad because he can't decide, and he has liked everything he's eaten so far: Belgian waffles, stuffed French toast, and the pancakes.

I had to go back and give this 5 stars. Our search for the best breakfast place has been halted because we can't stop coming back here! I have not had the same thing twice and absolutely everything has been wonderful. Great staff, great food! There is always a crowd it seems, but it is handled well and the turnover is quick thanks to the fast, friendly service. So if you see its busy, don't let this deter you. My boyfriend and I actually moved further from the area, but still drive nearly a half hour to go to it. Yum!! Go here :)

I never knew what the term Burnch was until several years ago, a guy friend of mine wanted to grab "Brunch". Ever since then, I'm always wanting to grab brunch. Again, I' a GOOGLE gal, so that was the first thing I did when I wanted to grab brunch in this new town of mine from my move from MI. Of course, I came across a place titled "Brunch Cafe"...well duh! Obviously it severs BRUNCH! I had to go give it a try since it's the first place that I've ever seen with Brunch in its title. AWESOMEE.... The hostess is a small cute girl that is so nice each and every time we go there. The decor is so "homey" and comforting. I have only had to wait one time for a table and the other times, I was always seated right away (not that they weren't busy, it's because they are quick with cleaning and setting up) The food they serve is out of this world. They sure do want to make sure that you walk away full and happy. I always get too much in my stomach where a little adjustment of the waist is always needed. You have an assortment of dishes that you may choose from and it's always mind boggling to see everything they have for brunch! I brought my siblings here one time to show them this spectacular place I found and the first thing they noticed was the enormous servings. No one (even the boys) finished their meals as the skillets are very fulfilling. I brought my parents here one time and that was when we had to wait for our table. The 30 minute wait was worth it still! I did come here one time with my little girl (just her and I) and we had a slight accident that I thought was taken care of very well. We sat at a smaller table than I would have liked but I wasn't going to complain, they were busy out the door and I really wanted to eat there. Well, the buser was pushing the cart to gather the dirty dishes and accidently hit my little girls chair. He immediately apologized and asked right away if she was ok. Of course, she was fine, but I knew that if he had hit her, it would be a different story. Right after, two manager came up to me to make sure that my little girl was ok as well. No, they didn't wait until after, they dropped what they were doing and rushed over right away. Yes, they could have been worried that she was really injured by this small accident, but if they weren't worried, they wouldn't come over at all. You could tell that the managers truly cared for this business as I alway see them when I came there. We still come there here and there to grab a goo brunch.

We went to this place for brunch but were really in the mood for breakfast, the server was friendly but asked us about 10 times in the span of 10 minutes if we were ready to order, we were there for the first time and kind of settling in and I guess it was about time to close so she was just super anxious to serve us? When she realized it was our first time and we needed more time, she gave us more time but she could have asked us if we had any questions, because we did but they were never answered :( Anyway, I got the pancakes and potatoes (CARBS YEAH!!!) and they were both good, the pancakes were especially delightful. My boyfriend got the omelet, it was okay, but i'm never a fan of omelets to begin with. If I go back it would be for pancakes and mimosas, can't go wrong! I don't understand the big hype about this place and how people can eat so much damn food. The menu was small and nothing truly stuck out as ZOMG AMAZZZINNGGG.

Brunch Cafe is just a phenomenal restaurant, and they deserve every star. Every time I've gone, I've felt genuinely welcome. The hosts are incredibly friendly and have been able to get my girlfriend and I a table without any wait every time- even when the restaurant is very busy. The waitstaff is outgoing, fast, and responsive. It's refreshing to see servers that know their business so well- as a former server myself, I am impressed. What's really incredible is both how delicious the food is and how quickly it arrives. I don't think it's ever taken more than 10 minutes to get our meal. I'd personally recommend their pancakes, cinnamon roll french toast, scrambler platters, corned beef hash, and bacon. They are all exceptional dishes, nicely presented, and reasonably priced. The coffee is robust and exactly what you need to get going. The decor is simple, clean, warm and inviting- people just seem happy to be there. It's just what you need in the morning. I've eaten out at some really amazing breakfast restaurants, including a few very nice gourmet places in Chicago, so I won't say you can't find better food anywhere. However, if you're staying local and want your money to go a lot farther, you'll be hard pressed to find a nicer, friendlier, well run establishment than Brunch Cafe.

I don't know how they do it but once you get seated at the Brunch Cafe everything goes fast. You get served fast, the food is served about as quickly as possible, and, well you get the idea. The staff always seems friendly in spite of the busy lines which always seem to form on Sundays when I go. Take a chance on whatever specials they have, they've all been delicious so far.

Great twist on old favorites and their own dishes are excellent. Go for Breakfast or lunch but it's hard to choose what to order when so much is good.

Came here for the first time on a Sunday, 8 am - before the breakfast rush started. Our party of 5 was sat down right away. We ordered and received our food amazingly fast. The menu has a lot to choose from and you really can't go wrong! French toast is delicious, especially the banana bread and their signature one. Fyi, the omlettes are big. The only reason they lost a star is because I felt a bit rushed to leave, even with the friendly service. Definitely recommended!

Syd F.

I am a huge fan of Brunch. However.... the fox river grove location is way better! The servers at Roselle location only come back to check on you to bring the check. Water glass was empty for the last half of meal which really bothers me! but food is delicious as always.

Just a quick review... The Brunch Cafe is an awesome breakfast place. A true hidden gem! Food is great (as well as fresh!), and service is friendly. Coffee is good. Portion sizes are generous, and presentation is good.

A busy, crowded waiting area? 30-minute wait to be seated for a Sunday brunch? Sounds like they imported all the aggravation of a big-city brunch out to the western burbs. I was almost tempted to jump back into my car & head to the nearest IHOP. But I decided to stay and wait. And was it worth it? Yes, it pretty much was. They have a pretty good-sized collection of breakfast/brunch/lunch items that range from very basic to very creative (plus daily specials). My favorite was the stuffed potato pancakes, a fairly simple creation (bacon & eggs scrambled between two potato pancakes, topped with melted cheddar) that was absolutely delicious. If you are not into breakfast-y fare, their sandwiches are pretty good two - I had a few bites of a reuben that was the best I had tasted since my last trip to New Yawk City. To those who would complain about prices, consider sharing a dish or two. The portion size of many of the entrees are enormous, which I guess appeals to the super-size suburban crowd. If you don't have an enourmous gut to fill, an omelette and a side dish or two could easily satisfy two persons of reasonably modest size. Service is friendly and fairly efficient. My only regret is not leaving enough room to sample one of their super-decadent pancake, waffle, or french toast dishes. On my way out I made a point to spy on other tables, to plot what I'll order on my next visit. Definitely one of the best brunch experiences I've had in a long time outside of the Chicago city limits.

Lunch with my mom here was a delight.I drove her almost paralyzed butt out to Elgin to her Chiropractor and on our way back the Brunch cafe was about the only thing we saw that looked cute and clean so we stopped in.We got seated right away but it was really crowded. We were instantly greeted by our beautiful peepy waitress! I did notice an employee trend here. All the waitresses are young and gorgeous. No problem with that since some of those crappy breakfast restaraunts hire really ugly waitresses and I sometimes loose my appetite before I even eat.So the pretty factor works for Brunch cafe. The menu is pretty big and has lots of options including fritattas,omelets, sanwiches,big pancake list, wraps,salads and benedicts.I ordered the south of the border which is a breakfast quesadilla and my mamma got the bruschetta salad. I ordered mine with no bacon and added some more veggies. When it came to the table it was hugemungus!! It must have contained 8 eggs! I extracted at least 5 of them.It was so good and the salsa it came with was extra spicey,I likey! My moms salad was hugeo too and had some crusty brushcetta bread on the side.She loved it and said the chicken was done perfectly. If I'm ever in the area again I would most def stop by.I think I would get some of their pancakes!

it was ok. i don't find it better than other brunch places in the 'burb. i found the place a little over-rated and definitely doesn't worth the wait esp if longer than 30 min

My wife and I ate here this morning for the first time. It will definitely be added to our list of favorite places to go to dine out. The stuffed crepe (savory) with ham & swiss was great. What was even better was they specialized the order and stuffed with eggs as well at my request. The food was delivered hot, delicious, and quick. Only thing I could say (not really a complaint) is that I almost wish there menu had 1/2 portions. Definitely received our money's worth here.

Beware doing takeout. I had a taste for a waffle but did not want to eat it there. I literally live one mile away. I drove picked up the waffle. Took it home. It was rubbery and cold like it was from the day before. Had to throw it away. Waste of a very expensive waffle. Never again

I hate to write this review. If I tell you exactly how good "Our Usual Place" is, then you'll flock there and we'll never get in. But it isn't fair of me to keep it all to ourselves. We have been going to Brunch Cafe since it opened and have never, in the dozens of times we've been, had anything less than exceptional service and stellar meals. I almost always go with something that's on special, and ALWAYS choose what they say is "new". They are not afraid of flavor or being creative with their ingredients. Yesterday, though, instead of breakfast, I opted for lunch. I had a craving for a simple patty melt. And this one was nothing fancy at all. But the marble rye was crisp yet tender, the patty was seasoned perfectly and was medium rare and juicy, the onions were sweet, soft and buttery, and the cheese was super melty and creamy. The fries? Perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. It was just a patty melt, but one of the best I've had, and I LOVE PATTY MELTS!

Now, living a block from Yolk, Bongo Room, and some of the best breakfast spots in the city, I have a high bar for breakfast. The menu is just insane. I got denver spuds, which are like potato skins with scrambled eggs, onions, cheese, etc. in there. That was pretty much the coolest breakfast menu item I'd ever seen. I wanted like everything on the menu, but had to go with the one I'll least likely find anywhere else, and it was solid. I was with 3 other people who all really liked what they got as well. The service was pretty average but the food was above average (flavor didn't blow me away, but definitely would go back). I think this will be my go-to spot when I'm in the burbs.

Solid brunch food. HUGE portions. Allowed a group of 4 of us to sit and chat for two hours. The food is good but not amazing, however, I don't think you can expect AMAZING from a suburban Illinois brunch spot. The savory California crepe was surprisingly tasty. I ordered a cobb salad which was huge and did not skimp on ingredients. Total per person was probably $15.

Great new place in the neighborhood. It is a medium-sized newly opened restaurant. It is clean and airy when you walk in with complimentary colors on the walls. If you are unsure what to order while waiting to be seated, check out the special board WITH PLATTERS ON DISPLAY on the small table at the front! As I am a visual person, it is great to see what the food actually looks like when choosing! We went at noon on a Sunday, since the game was on (I know, I know bad planning) it was not too crowded. We only waited about ten minutes for a party of seven. I have heard the wait can be longer and they may be expanding (into the open store-front next door) soon. Either way, most people expect some type of wait for brunch...NBD. I chose to order the CHOCOLATE crepe special (yes, dessert for breakfast!) with blackberries, strawberries, and white chocolate chips on top of two crepes made of milk chocolate. VERY rich, but worth it! The coffee was great tasting (it might sound like something that should be taken for granted, but many breakfast spots have coffee that tastes like the grinds!) with all the condiments (including flavored creamer...yeah!) on the table. It was a nice change of pace that the cup was large enough to keep me satisfied through most of the meal. My counterparts ordered the biscuits with gravy, omlettes, nacho fritatta, and their speciality french toast (more like yummy bread pudding with fruit on top) with rave reviews from all. It can be difficult to please everyone in a large group, but this place did it (and many of the guests at the table are repeat customers that have never been disappointed). The repeaters always order the fresh-squeezed orange-strawberry juice, but I needed my coffee so I cannot comment other than passing along their positive remarks. The service was with a smile (even when we asked to make change) and recommendations at every turn (there is such a variety of choices on the menu that it is hard to decide!)....it is hard to find friendly service from the host, the cashier, and the wait staff. I hope that since they are new this doesn't fall by the wayside as they get busier. I am keeping my fingers crossed and will visit again when I am in the neighborhood to try something else on the menu :)

My wife and I have gone to this place a several times now and it still has been very good. The omelets are very big and fluffy. i don't care too much for the breakfast potatoes unless you ask them to have them well done. Then the potatoes are perfect. The savory crepes and very delicious and the waffles are even better. Service is always fast and friendly so a win win so far. Looking forward to another visit soon.

Katherine H.

I love Brunch Cafe! I am so happy that it opened up! Everything that I've had so far has been really good. I love the Eggs Benedict and I especially recommend the Berry Bowl. It is a bowl of fresh raspberries, blueberries and strawberries with a side of delicious topping! I go every time I get the chance. :) The service is friendly and fast. My only wish is that they had real cream for my coffee instead of the individualized mini half & half's that I have to open up. The price point is also just right, and for the money, I don't think it gets better.

First time me & my family tried it, we had to wait for about 20 minutes. There was a long line ahead of us & just when I was just about to walk, George, the very amiable host called my name & set us up on a nice comfortable booth. Tina,one of the charming servers came to take our orders. Just a few minutes after we were served our drinks came our orders. Service was incredibly swift & very efficient. I love their ham & Swiss crepe. I'd recommend their Reuben sandwich. w/c was tenderly delicious served with their custom baked marble bread. My kids loved the berry pancakes. All in all, it was a terrific food experience for us..I'd say kudos to all the guys & dolls at the Brunch Cafe in Roselle.

We had lunch here on a Sunday, even though it was later in the afternoon it was still pretty packed. My bf and I both had breakfast, and I had a bloody Mary and coffee. The service was pretty good, but the food was excellent. I had the traditional eggs Benedict- the eggs were perfectly cooked, and the English muffin wasn't soggy (which I consider a sign of a place that knows what they're doing). Best of all my meal came with brunch potatoes which were delicious. My bf had the cinnamon-bun French toast. He's not one to typically order a sweet breakfast but he loved this. It was sweet with out being over bearing. The food came out quickly and our server was attentive but not pushy. Note- they do not have a full bar, or even beer and wine. They only have bloody Mary's and Mimosas.

Lesley C.

This place rocks! We used to go all the way to Savoury in Barlett for "unique" breakfast options, so it's nice that this is in our neck of the woods. Menu-wise, there's something to please every palate, savory or sweet. My favorite is the breakfast panini with eggs, tomato and lots of goat cheese on sourdough bread with delicious breakfast potatoes. I've also enjoyed the breakfast sliders, Service is friendly and efficient, and servers are very good about special requests. Pricing is on par with most sit-down brekkie places -- about $10-$11/pp for breakfast (including tax and tip). Highly recommend.

DAN D.

Had to get food two times and both times French toast was burnt. Service was sub par and hostess was awful. She asked us how everything was and after saying "not good" her response was "oh". Yup that was it. I can safely say I'm sticking to omega from now on.

Allison C.

I have been to this cafe a number of times and absolutely love it. I have had the banana french toast which is amazing. Also any kind of egg dish you get, you will be getting tons of other food as well. The food is delicious and very filling. The atomsphere is geared towards families and the wait staff does a good job. The brunch cafe is never too crowded and you will get seated within a few minutes of walking in their door. I would definitely recommend you checking that place out if you are looking for good breakfast food and at a reasonable price!

Carin C.

We have lived in the the area for over 10 years and have eaten at every breakfast place within a 10 mile radius... Brunch Cafe has taken the top spot hands down! You know you've hit a home run when there is no place you would rather go. Order South Of the Border - the home made salsa is perfection!

Angela P.

Fred, Milo and I went here yesterday (Sunday) to meet my cousin for brunch and we were very happy with our choice! We had to wait about 20-30 minutes to get in but it was definitely worth the wait. We were promptly greeted from our server and placed our order shortly after. The food seriously came with lightning speed!! And it was delicious! I had the stuffed potato pancakes that I had read about on here and they were phenomenal! Fred had the Irish skillet and my cousin had the Portobenny which is a version of eggs benedict that used portobello mushroom caps instead of english muffins...that was SO good too! I just realized, right now actually, that they forgot to bring me my side of sausage links, but I will get them next time. We will definitely be going back here in the near future because it isn't too far from our house and the food was AWESOME!

Evelyn Z.

Yummy yummy in my tummy!!! Lol blueberry bliss pancakes were HEAVEN!! I tried two of their skillets ehhhh pretty standard in the flavor department but that all gets fixed with a mimosa or their tasty smoothies. Service friendly, but either call ahead to get your name on the list or get there early.

Maryann G.

I have been here several times and have never been disappointed with what they have to offer. Their service is great with friendly staff and servers. Quality of food is awesome and I don't have to wait too long just to get our meals. I try to order different things every visit to go about their menu, and I have always been highly satisfied with the taste, quality, and meal portions. I'm glad they're just around the corner and is very easy to find.

Luke M.

It is a really great place to eat at. It is clean, nice location, great staff and the food is fantastic. When I order an omelet, I get a huge plate of food AND on top of that an order of pancakes (or toast if you choose). There are a lot of options for breakfast there. So, in short, food good, big variety of breakfast items, friendly staff and a neighborhood feel. What else is there to ask for?
(5)
Dave G.

Been here twice now and have been fairly impressed. Very busy on the weekends, but the wait was not too bad. 1st time I went, I waited a bit for service, but it was very busy and i was in no hurry. They actually cleared a table being used as a coffee station to seat me. I had the South Beach Scrambler with bacon, avocado, cheese and spinach. Eggs were cooked to perfection. Creamy and moist like they should be. Toast was good, coffee was better than average. So impressed with the eggs, I took some home to the gf. She loved them. Went with her the next weekend and she had what I had and loved it. I had the country fried steak and it was just ok. Gravy was good but not much of it. I'm a french toast guy, but the side of pancakes were very good. Want to try the red velvet french toast...next time. Will give this place a few more go's. Very well could be my new go-to breakfast joint.

Molly T.

I have been meaning to write a review on this place since December. I am from San Francisco and San Franciscans love to eat!! If there is a new restaurant in town, we will be there. We are hard to please too when it comes to food. SO....I thought this place was great for the price you pay. We ordered pancakes and scrambled eggs. Portions were huge!! For the 4 of us, the bill was about $35 with tip. Service was ridiculously fast!!! We ordered and food arrived within a few minutes. However, food was nothing special. I was satisfied and full. Again, great service. There is a hotel nearby which is great for out-of-towners.

Was wonderful. A pleasant surprise for a saturday lunch. Had a special which had bread pudding, ham and eggs. I haven't seen such a nice slab of ham in ages. Took home the pudding to enjoy tonite. It was a nice surprise because we hadn't been there in ages. Won't wait this long again.

My absolutely favorite place to eat! Amazing breakfast especially the stuffed waffles with fresh strawberries and bananas. Delicious eggs benedict! Yummy loaded breakfast potatoes! Great lunch specials and huge salads. Delicious chicken sandwich. Wait staff is great, always refilling drinks and very friendly. Packed on the weekends, expect to wait at most 10 minutes for a table. Never had a bad meal and I have been going since they opened.

This is a great breakfast, brunch place in the suburbs. They have lots of choices and variety. Beware, you will get full! I have had their omelets, skillet dishes, and crepes. You'll get your traditional breakfast and brunch foods at this place. The decorations were good and the service was excellent.

Brunch Cafe is very good. The service is always friendly, and the food is always great. I have been coming here since it opened and have almost the entire menu. The Banana Bread French Toast and the Stuffed Potato Pancake are my favorites but everything is great. I love that they have specials, not too many breakfast places have featured specials that they add to the menu. Seriously, go here and get the Banana Bread French Toast!!

I have been eating at brunch for over a year and half now. They have the best breakfast food I've tasted at any diner in the burbs or anywhere else for that matter. I can't believe that someone gave them two stars! This restaurant is a gem and I'm glad georges business is doing so well! The Reubens are amazing, the french toast is to die for, and the chicken parm sandwich is the best chicken I've ever eaten. I've never had to wait longer than 15 minutes on a BUSY Sunday! They staff is the best and always know your name. Terri is the best waitress and she's a big reason I love eating there. Its rare to see an owner everyday in his restaurant greeting customers, expediting orders, and even knowing a regulars voice on the phone. I straight up love this place. I can't say enough things about it and I've never had a single issue. Anyone that isn't amazed by the fresh food or has issues with the price should go back to IHOP. You pay for quality and this is the best.

Manya A.

First off, let me preface by saying that I am a breakfast person. I can eat breakfast for lunch or dinner or pretty much any time of the day. That said, I am also finicky about my breakfast and the IHOPS and Denny's of the world don't cut it IMHO. We started going to Brunch Cafe last year and were hooked. Sure its a little pricey but the ambience is good, the food is delicious, the service is first rate...I don't think there's more to expect. Must try are their crepes which are thin and just delicious. Their belgian waffle is amazing. There is a lack of good breakfast places in this area and Brunch Cafe fills that need. Will continue to go there until another place comes along and matches up in terms of the food, service and decor.

Mmmmm. On a recent visit to suburbia I ended up at the Brunch Cafe, it is one of my favorite burb breakfast places now. I had about 3 hours of sleep and a hangover and my brother wanted to spend the day tree shopping (insert freaked out face here). First, we needed breakfast. There was about a 20 minute wait, but there wasn't anywhere close enough to get to sooner than that, so we waited. The service was mostly good, except that we waited about 15-20 minutes for the check after we were done eating. I'm not a banker or anything, but I'm pretty good with math. Had we not had to wait 20 minutes for our check, the next table wouldn't have had to wait 20 minutes for their table. It's a vicious cycle. I wouldn't have minded so much, but I was watching other tables and they were just sitting there done eating too. So it wasn't just that our server forgot about us. I had the biscuits and gravy (please see aforementioned hangover comment). They were actually really good. I'm not a biscuits and gravy connoisseur, but these biscuits were incredibly fluffy considering they were most likely made hours earlier. My sis in law went the healthy route, as she always does, and had a yogurt and fruit parfait. She claimed it was "delicious". The menu had lots of good looking items. I am a breakfast whore. I fully understand waiting for a table at a good brunch/breakfast place at 9:30 on a Sunday. I do not understand waiting another 20 minutes for my check. I'll fork over that 5th star if they don't make me wait so long next time around.

By far, this is the best breakfast restaurant in the area. Not only is the food phenomenal, the wait staff is on point and the bussers are on the ball. The owner, George, is always there to greet you with a smile and will make a point to know you by name. We eat there every weekend and we always have the same thing, the caliente omelet with egg beaters. It's so good!! Go early on weekend.... before 9, or the place gets jammed packed. After 11 it generally slows down.

I meet here every Monday morning with my business partners. The staff and breakfast is awesome. I have been here many other occasions as well and I've never been disappointed.

I have to say that when i went, everyone had talked it up so as a cynic naturally didnt believe it, it was extremely enjoyable. The food was delicious and it was extremely busy! The only problem i ever encountered was they fact that the servers seemed a little impatient as well as the managers. It wasn't like they weren't pleasant but it seemed like they didnt want to engage into any convo with me and my party. Definitely worth a visit though.

The food and coffee are always good. Always busy but never a long wait. And even as busy as they are, I never feel neglected nor ignored by the staff. Great selection of food and very reasonably priced too. I highly recommend brunch cafe.

The food here is really good but pricey compared to others places with comparable quality. On the weekend the waits are always long. Their menu is unique and very creative. I wish they had shredded hash browns instead of breakfast potatoes.

You know a place is good when there is a 45 minute wait to eat breakfast. And this is that place. Totally worth the wait. There is truly no other breakfast place in the area of the same quality and variety that I have found. I have been here a number of times over the past few years and most recently attended a baby shower here. Didn't even know they hosted events like that. What a great venue for a baby shower or even a bridal shower. I really appreciate how clean this place is and how many options they offer. We had a whole buffet of breakfast and lunch options from crepes to a breakfast frittata thingamajiggy and turkey wraps and homemade chips. The breakfast sausage is not my fave but the thick-cut bacon was cooked well. The crepes were awesome. I ate a whole crepe and enjoyed some fresh fruit. They also had french toast and banana bread french toast on the buffet that I wanted to try but I already had more than enough to eat. I am not a huge breakfast person (but my family and fiance are huge breakfast fans), so every time I go for breakfast, I love that they offer lunch items as well. I typically get their chicken sandwich with roasted red peppers. I always forget to ask for the red pepper on the side because it tends to make the bread soggy so I plan to order it this way next time I go to see if the red pepper is the soggy little culprit. Overall, I really like this place for breakfast and am a fan of their service and cleanliness. We'll be back soon.

I've dined at Brunch Cafe several times, and I can honestly say this is one of few places that's a hit every time. Besides the occasional wait, you'll leave with a food coma, and the service and owner have always been pleasant and attentive, hope that doesn't change. Also, my wife (HR Manager at Ampac located across the street) is a big fan, so she caters often from this place. Anyhow, thats my experience ... again, I hope they maintain the quality service and food they've always demonstrated.

I love this place. The portions are 2 servings worth. I do the Cali crepe - lovely and fresh. My friends have done the strawberry waffles, red velvet french toast. I dig the strawberry-OJ. Refreshing! Service is very good.

This is place is great! First time in this place and just thought the food was delicious, service was great and the price while a bit on the higher side is very fair. I would highly recommend this breakfast lunch place!! I would suggest the breakfast burrito. Everyone in our group loved their food. Will revisit soon!

Nikko S.

Best brunch in the area. I had the meat and potato skillet, I ordered it with scrambled eggs, but received sunny side up. I am not picky so rather than making a fuss I decided to eat it anyway. Other than that tiny mess up, the food was amazing. Our server was quick to refill our drinks and very friendly. I love how many options they offer. I was stuck between several different meals. If you haven't tried this place yet, you're missing out.

Can't go wrong here. Best Breakfast ever. Top Notch. Quick service and great staff. If you happen to arrive at prime breakfast time, you will have to wait, but once seated you will understand why. Recommend the skillets or Blueberry Bliss Pancakes.

How could I have missed the Mimosa's on the menu??? I need to sharpen my brunching skills. I've been back twice since my original visit and this most recent time it took my brother to point out to me that I had been brunching here all wrong. The Mimosas are about $6 and they are huge when you think about mimosa servings. Definitely at least 20 oz of sparkly-juicy fun. There's the classic OJ and then also a strawberry OJ. The Strawberry OJ is delicious--great fresh flavor--a great burst of sunshine! There are also Bloody Mary's on the menu--if that's the direction your thirst takes you. This time around I had the chorizo egg white omelet. Yee Haw! I just found what I have been missing most about living in Tejas--the chorizo and eggs breakfast taco. No taco here, just some toast, but that's ok. This omelet was bursting with tasty spicy chorizo. Tastes just like the dish my adopted abuela made for me at my favorite breakfast taco joint in San Antonio. And they have Chollula hot sauce if you need more heat--my favorite. The Yellow Rose of Texas just tipped it's hat to Brunch Cafe. It can get kind of loud at BC, and there's a good chance you'll have to wait for seats on the weekends. They recently expanded so there's more seating though-which they totally needed. Service is friendly, a little abrupt sometimes. But I'll gladly deal with that for a Texas sized Mimosa and my chorizo omelet any day!

Love this place. One of the best breakfast place in the chicago-land area. I love crepes and even their eggs are nice and soft and taste differently, very good. Everything my family has tried we have liked.

If you are looking for a perfectly prepared crepe, among other things, look no further. I have found that most restaurants don't know how to properly prepare a crepe, usually resulting in a dry and often bland result. Not so here. The BC has got this down perfectly; moist, good flavor and light. BEST crepe I've ever had. There is a good selection of both sweet and savory, and I opted for the ham and Swiss. I would ask for more cheese next time, but the cubed ham was juicy, tasty and plentiful. And there were two ample sized crepes served. My friend Sam ordered the Signature Brunch French Toast with strawberries and kiwi, and it was as delicious (and pretty) as widely reported on yelp. She also tried a side of corned beef hash, and I think she liked it but thought it was overpriced for the small helping. I think my friend Jenna ordered a veggie omelet which looked packed with veggies and some sort of potatoes on the side. I was in my own food coma, but I know she enjoyed her brunch. :) We drove about an hour in the rain to meet friends here and it was worth it. :) We waited about 15 minutes to be seated. Never had to ask for coffee, setting was simple but also warm and inviting, service was excellent and friendly, and orders were super fast period, but especially considering it was Sunday brunch peak time! It was Jenna's choice (awesome), all of our first visit, and we can't wait to go back!

The restaurant was really busy when we got there. The wait on a table for three during Sunday morning brunch was about 45 minutes. It seemed like forever, but we stuck it out. I am so glad we did because the food was great. The southwest scramble was enough for two meals, so the price was reasonable. If I'm ever in the area again I well definitely try to make it back to the Brunch CafÃ©.

I absolutely love this place! I only ever get the turkey Swiss wrap which is my absolute favorite but my friend gets breakfast, particularly the "aye caraumba!"'and he loves that as well! Staff is always very very friendly... It's definitely worth the 45 mins wait:)

Danielle K.

Visited with little ones on a Sunday AM. Very good food, well worth the 45min wait. They have French Vanilla creamer ; ) deal breaker! Our waitress was extremely nice and accommodating to our substitutions. Wish I could remember her name, blonde with big flower in her hair. Only reason this isn't 5 stars is bc as nice as the staff was, we didnt see them very often. Management keeps them busy; seemed like even bus boys were in the weeds. Will return again and recommend this to anyone looking for a great breakfast.

Three times I've been here, and I've gotten three completely different items each time. That they've succeeded on all three is a good sign that the popularity of this restaurant is merited. The first thing I had was a veggie omelet; this was wonderfully fluffy with fresh veggies. The second thing I remember having was a Route 20, a vegetarian crepe. Surprise: this savory crepe came out just right (a bit thick) with the same fresh ingredients I'd come to expect. This last time, I'd gotten a salsa verde skillet (actually called the "nacho"). Yes, this actually tasted good. The nachos were good, and every ingredient from the cheese to the sour cream to the green salsa verde was fresh. The potatoes on the side were well seasoned and cooked perfectly. The pancakes from The Brunch Cafe are always made perfectly. They also don't taste like cardboard, which is a plus. There's definitely buttermilk in them. Real maple syrup only helps the cause. My wife's omelet was, thankfully, made using real ham (not ham cubes!) and also very good. I can't really recommend this place enough--I've always had great meals here on Sunday mornings, and I look forward to coming back for more.

My favorite place for breakfast. I have eaten here many times and have never been disappointed. The food is amazing. Some of my favorites are cinnamon roll French toast, south of the border quesadillas, breakfast burrito, and any of the huge fluffy omlettes.

Sam M.

Haha, I just saw this place has 166 reviews, and I'm sure they're all amazing. My fiancÃ© and I have been coming here at least once a month since they've opened, and have never had a bad experience. The food is amazing, and the staff is so kind and efficient. Even when they're packed, we never wait too long for anything. They do business very well over there.

What a cute place! Added bonus that it was delicious and they have great bloody mary's. I met my girlfriends here for brunch and made a reservation. We were seated right away and it looked like they were turning tables pretty quickly. The wait looked like 20 mins or so on a Saturday late morning. Since I couldn't decide if I wanted breakfast or lunch (literally everything on the menu sounded fantastic) I ended up having savory crepes with my bloody mary and it was perfect. Normally I'm a member of the clean plate club, but I could only put back half of my plate (one crepe). The leftovers made a great dinner. The portions were on the big side, but then again, their prices reflected that. It wasn't outrageous, but it wasn't cheap either. Service was really quick and friendly. Our group of six sat there chatting a little bit after our quick brunch and our server didn't even get annoyed that we were camping and wasting her table. It was nice to not feel rushed and like we were being kicked out. I will certainly add this place into my usual brunch rotation. I can't wait to try some of the other things on the menu!

Christine L.

Loved this place! Was expecting it to be packed as we came on a Saturday mid-morning but there was no line & we were seated right away. The menu had an excellent variety, a mix of the usual breakfast items with some more unique ones. Being indecisive me I had such a difficult time trying to figure out what to order. Finally settled on the Ay Caramba! skillet. It was very, very good albeit a little greasy. But then again, what chorizo dish isn't greasy?. I loved that the salsa had a good kick as a lot of times salsa at a brunch place can be bland. Definitely took it up a notch. The skillet came with your choice of a side of toast or pancakes. I had the pancakes and they were pretty standard (but still good). My friend got the crepes, and if I had known how huge they were going to be I would have ordered them instead! Usually when I think of crepes I think of a dinky little dish, which is why I usually don't order them when I eat brunch. These crepes were monstrous, the size of two big burritos on a plate. The one bite I had was superb. Service was extremely quick, we were all surprised at how quickly the food came out. Prices were average for this type of brunch place. I definitely want to go back to try more of their dishes!

Can you tell we love to go out to breakfast? I've reviewed many breakfast places and The Brunch Cafe is darn good. It's a bit out of the way for us so we only go here if we are running errands out that way. They have an excellent variety for breakfast and lunch, and not all your standard run-of-the-mill brunch fare. Their specials are inspired and half the time I end up ordering one of those. In Autumn my favorite is their sweet potato, ham & Gruyere omelet special. I think it may have been added to the year-round menu now, but I'm not sure. The portions are large as well. My husband and I normally get 2 - 3 meals out of just one omelet with breakfast potatoes! Who can finish one of those? I'm guessing if someone does they have to be rolling to the car afterwards. The place is a decent size, lots of tables, but they get busy so if you aren't on the early side on a Saturday or Sunday expect to wait a short time. The service is good...not as personable & welcoming as little local places in Elgin we love, but still good.

The Brunch Cafe has quickly become my favorite breakfast/brunch date spot when I go out with my extra special breakfast/brunch date partner... also known as My Beautiful Gma. Everything I've had here so far has been fantastic but somehow Gammie and I always find ourselves in the same pickle: A. What To Get and B. Why We Shouldn't Just Get One of Everything. First World Problems, Yo. It was The Brunch Cafe that introduced Gams to mimosas (both reg and strawberry) and the finer points of, well, finer breakfast. Not just eggs, bread, batter, butter, + dashes of salt & peppa here and there. The Brunch Cafe is so much more, my friends. Add in basil, garlic, pesto, RED.VELVET.PANCAKES! and so much more... like those heaven sent breakfast potatoes. The servers are super friendly but I have found that sometimes the hostess can be a bit 'tude-y. And the prices aren't your standard cheap-o B-fast prices but that's A-OK cuz you ain't getting no standard cheap-o B-fast at The Brunch Cafe. And make sure to look directly to your right when you walk in as they have a display of all their specials for the day and just like that old saying, sometimes seeing is believing. So even if you went in with your heart set on bfast style stuffed portobello caps, you might end up with taffy apple waffles or some other extra especial special.

Good food and mostly consistent quality. HUGE portions. Avoid the salads though - I ordered the southwest and was so disappointed that my lettuce was still damp so my dressing wouldn't really stick. I hate that!

Love this place! First let me start off by saying that I am not a big fan of eating out for breakfast (I figure I can make my own eggs!) - That said, I will tell you that this place changed my mind! The menu is so far beyond "eggs". - And everything Ive ever tried, has been very good.. my personal favorite - The california crepes. Also, they have a great selection of loose-leaf teas (something I have not come across in other places). All in all, yes, they are crowded... because everyone loves it here! But totally worth going!

Erinn N.

I wasn't horrendously impressed. The food was ok. I wouldn't order the stuffed potato pancakes again. Service wasn't great, we were seated, served our drinks and then our orders weren't taken for at least another 10 minutes. We went during the week around 830 am.... It wasn't that busy. Then when we were done, we were definitely handed another table's very pricey bill. For ok food, that was on the pricey side...I don't think this will be a frequent place to visit.

Found this place on Yelp. I was very impressed by the food, service, ambiance and prices. I ordered the California crepe. Best hollandaise sauce ever with the perfect balance of buttery richness and lemon tart. I wish the crepes were thinner, but my wife prefers the thicker crepe. I guess that's a toss up. I would have liked to seen more creative options for their omelets, like some funky cheeses. Also, their coffee was just average. I make a mean cup of coffee, so I'm picky. This was our first time here, if the next experience is like this one, it's a 5-star place.

Just went here today and had a great experience. There was a large selection of food to choose from and a lot of unique options for french toast (red velvet french toast). I ended up getting the Mediterranean omelet and it was delicious! The service was a bit slow but the place was packed, so that was to be expected. And the only down side was is that they do not take reservations so we had to wait a bit, but the table turnover rate was pretty quick. Can't wait to come back and try something else!

Tadd T.

Had were a buttery Bronco scramble with hearty chunks of ham; bland and boring fried "brunch potatoes"; and a massive $6 mimosa made with cheap sparkling wine and from-concentrate OJ (not a bad thing if you're the it-gets-the-job-done type, and let's face it - a lowbrow mimosa is better than no mimosa). Swift and cheery service rounded out the meal. Arrive early, reserve a table, or prepare to wait. Thou hadst been warn-ed.

Having never been there before, we wanted to try it. First thing we noticed was the cleanliness. Next thing was friendly waitstaff. We went for breakfast, and the vary was excellent. I had multigrain pancakes - excellent! Slight hint of cinnamon - great serving size (even brought 1/2 home!) Husband had crepes. Very good flavor. Highly recommend. Waitress was attentive, and friendly. Great place to go.

I love breakfast food. I love food in general. I love coupons via email. I love you. Just kidding. Actually, if you're interested 23 year old male...haha, sorry, this isn't a chat room? NO WAIT, I AM REVIEWING BRUNCH CAFE. That was just my attempt at humor. Keep reading! Grandma and Mom wanted to take out my twin brother and I for lunch, since we are turning 23 in a matter of days. Of course, being the Yelper that I am, I of course wanted to try a new place, and thanks to the whole Yelp community for suggesting this place. It was a brunch of great reviews that made me want Brunch Cafe. Now the FOOD! I wanted an omelet and 'cakes. Of course, I was a subscriber via email, and I kid you not, as I was reading through...BAM an email from Brunch Cafe! It was a $10 Free Birthday Entree! Yes! I went up to the front, made sure I could use it, and Ellen, our waitress, had it already done when she dropped off the check! That a girl, Ellen! I wasn't paying, but 4 people at the total being 35.50! I'm in there like swimwear on this muggy September Day. I got the Caliente with egg whites, plus avocado, no cheese/chorizo. I keep it class, folks. My brother got similar, and Mom and Grandma ordered sandwiches. The pancakes I ordered were multigrain; blueberry for me, strawberry for my bro. Sweet, sweet child O' mine, they were good! Omelets great, perfectly cooked, and fresh vegetables! Hey!!! So while Grandma and I got coffee, I thought the meal was over. Of course, the men of the table didn't need boxes, because we're men who invented the wheel, use Brut Aftershave, sweat a lot, and finish meals. Oh no, it wasn't over! Our server Ellen, brought us each a birthday cupcake that I had to box as well as the other bday boy, because of already chewing gum! Thanks so much Brunch Cafe! If you're not getting their emails, what are you waiting for silly! September is National Breakfast Month! I know that for two reasons. I love breakfast, and Brunch Cafe JUST sent me an email reminding me! Awesome place, with a brunch of different options for every single person in your party! YA BABY!

Brunch Cafe is okay. I was mainly disappointed that they didn't have fresh-squeezed orange juice which was listed on their site. When I asked the waitress about it, she snarked "It says "fresh" on the carton." I ordered a raspberry iced tea instead and it was terrible with a really off aftertaste. Their florentine Benedict is pretty good, though I had to ask for more Hollandaise sauce as it didn't have enough initially. Potatoes were bland and textureless. The banana french toast was tasty.

Rita B.

Family friendly restaurant. Went on a Sunday for a late breakfast. Place was packed! But we didn't wait for more than 15 minutes. Staff is so nice. Food is plentiful and delicious! I ordered the ah caramba! It was spicy but delicious. Husband's dish was good too! I enjoyed this place so much that I had to come back later in the week with different family members. They too loved this place too! Menu is creative. I'm looking forward to trying a lot of things here. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars is because the coffee is downright nasty! It was so strong that after the first sip I got heartburn. My husband who likes all kinds of coffee couldn't even drink the coffee here. Either way, def gotta give this place a try.

Bananarama!! I don't like pancakes, but this is one of the few places I get pancakes at! The other day I tried Bananarama, pancakes with bananas in the batter, crusted with graham crackers and topped with fresh strawberries and banana with strawberry glaze and anglaise! 1-the portions are HUGE!! So you will definitely be full at the end of your meal "we don't want you to go home hungry"-our waitress 2-Presentation: perfect!! 3-Taste: the fruits were ridiculously fresh!! That is a first! keep it up because i HATE sour fruit, it's not pleasant in the morning, so good job on that!! Pancakes: nice and fluffy, you can taste all the elements of the pancakes Overall food: AMAZING Overall service: our waitress was new, she moved back form california, and she was very very sweet! I mean for real genuine, knew what she talked about and engaged with the customer. I wish I grabbed her name, because Brunch Cafe you have a keeper. I am definitely coming back!

The decor is nice, bright and open. I had the eggs Benedict - the hollandaise sauce was very good but the ham was a bit too thick and tough for my liking. The English muffins were grilled - they tasted like grilled cheese which was different but after awhile I grew tired of it. The brunch potatoes could use some more spice but tasted better drizzled in the extra hollandaise sauce I had requested. Service was ok. I was a bit disappointed in how long it took for our waitress to check on us after dropping off our food, however. Overall I did like this place and would probably eat here again to try the banana bread French toast since it sounds really good, but I'd go to Red Apple in Carol Stream for eggs Benedict since I like their version better.

I love Brunch Cafe. I first heard about it through a Living Social deal a few months back. I am not a big breakfast person but I think Brunch Cafe is converting me. The most recent meal that I've had here is the Bananarama Pancakes which are graham cracker crushed banana pancakes topped with fresh bananas and strawberries...yum!! I do have to mention that the fruit here is exceptional...everything has always been so fresh and tasty. I've also had the garden omelet which was huge....their omelets here are like footballs! The last time I was here (Saturday around 11) there was about a 20 minute wait. Since I am not a morning person I've never been here before 10. It seems if you get here around 11:45-12 there isn't a wait because the breakfast rush is over. Tip - order the strawberry orange juice...you won't be sorry!

Nicole M.

I've been wanting to try Brunch Cafe for a while now and what better way then with a Living Social deal. Went there on a Sunday morning around 9:30am, they said it would be about a 20 min wait and it ended up being only about 10 mins! yay! This place kinda reminds me of Wildberry. Red Velvet French Toast, that's all I have to say! Yumm. Tasted just like a Red Velvet Cupcake! I was in Red Velvet Heaven! They give you 3 slices, stuffed with cream cheese and topped with Strawberries. My only grip was some of the strawberries were not fresh but mushy and brown. yuck! Other then that it was delish. Got a side of bacon, 3 think cut slices, was also good. Also got the Strawberry-Orange Juice, it was good but I didn't really taste much Strawberry in it. My boyfriend ordered a Skillet and said it tasted good and all the veggies were fresh tasting. Prices pretty average for a Breakfast joint.

I did not have a good experience here this morning and it's tainted my view of The Brunch Cafe a bit. It's a bit disappointing as my friend and I decided we wanted to grab Sunday breakfast so I looked into places on Yelp. The Brunch Cafe had such great reviews, interesting choices and the food looked great! My experience is a one off but based on my experience I give them just two stars. This is not to say I won't give them another go, because I definitely will so hopefully I can give them a better rating after my next visit. When we go in this morning, we waiting nearly an hour to be sat. They accidentally crossed our name out on their wait list for whatever reason. We stood right in front of them as tables upon tables got sat ahead of us. I was so confused but my friend convinced me they would call us soon and there had to be some reason we waited so long. I had an appointment I had to be at at 11:15 so I was about to walk out so my friend asked them what was going on. That's when they said they accidentally crossed out our name on the list. Which yes, mistakes happen. As a former head hostess at a restaurant, I know what's going on around me. If I see frustrated people that have been waiting much longer then people I have just sat, I will look into the situation and rectify it. But we just kept getting looked at and then overlooked. They had a few hostesses, too, so I'm not sure how no one could care enough to double check our name. When I discussed this with my friend it was just me being way overly critical at this point but just seemed a bit odd in a place of 15 servers. To their credit, they were very apologetic plus gave us $2 off our meal at the end. I was so annoyed at this point though that I know had 20 minutes to sit down, eat and get out that I was just not a happy camper for the rest of the meal. We got in and got out and were just not able to fully enjoy our meal. We wanted to get coffee, relax and enjoy ourselves but that just couldn't happen. I got the sliders breakfast meal which comes which three sliders and their breakfast potatoes. The potatoes were just okay, no ketchup on the table or offered. The breakfast slider was amazing though! I LOVED it! Sadly, I could only finish one in the allotted time and had to take the other two to go plus 90% of my potatoes. Our waitress was very nice and moved quickly for us when we told her we were ready to order right away and needed our receipt right when our food arrived. As I said, the food seems to be good, just a bad experience this morning. I'll be back to try again but I'm disappointed in this first impression.

Amazing Breakfast Fare! I went out to eat with my mom, grandma, and brother. The two ladies ordered sandwiches that I'm sure were delightful. My brother and I ordered omlettes with egg whites and egg beaters, respectively. We both got different veggies in our omlettes, but we both had avocado and salsa with them. The food was really good. Omlettes were made with fresh veggies, the fruit platter was excellent, and the multi-grain cakes were very earthy, but tasty! I've been wanting to head out here for a year now; I'm glad I did! If anyone is in the area, stop by this place! The only negative I found was that they did not offer broccoli as an option in their omlettes. I found this odd, but the rest of the meal made up for it. Finally, the staff overheard our party discussing my upcoming birthday, and we were given two cupcakes for the occasion. I love when restaurant staff go the extra mile like this; they were rewarded accordingly! Great staff, service, atmosphere, food... GO VISIT NOW!

I LOVE THIS PLACE. It's so great. The menu has things that I've never seen around this area. We started out with homemade strawberry-orange juice. My son had the Strawberry Cheesecake Pancake Roll Up. It was covered with Strawberries and Blueberries and stuffed with cream cheese! My daughter had the "Bananarama" which was pancakes with a graham cracker crust, Bananas, Strawberries and a Creme Anglaise. That is the picture I will post on here. Me being a total meat and potato woman, got the meat and potato skillet. It was cooked perfectly. Eggs were great as well. The big favorite of our excursion was the Breakfast Burrito. The thing has got to be at least 2 pounds, and stuffed! My husband ate this, and while he literally nitpicks everything to death, he had no negatives of this place at all! The reason I did not give it 5 stars is because it is very expensive. For our family of 4, it cost nearly $50 after tip. But the food is worth each and every penny. Try it out.

I recommend this very good breakfast location. The food was tasty, fresh and appealing. The coffee was hot and strong. The service was friendly, prompt and open. While busy Saturday morning, it was a good busy--you know, the hum of a place that was hitting on all cylinders. I enjoyed my omelette, especially because it was not over-cheesed. Yes, blasphemy I actually like to taste those fluffy eggs and the off-the-bone ham, as well as the cheese. Very solid balance between those ingredients. One of the reasons I give four stars is that I have only been one time. I firmly believe that five stars includes a level of consistency as well as excellence. I add this only to say I have no reservations about recommending this restaurant.

I had tried Brunch Cafe after it had first opened (years ago) and found the food to be terrific, but the service was slow. I'm happy to report that during my last two visits, the service has been outstanding - finally matching the quality of the food.

I've been to Brunch Cafe numerous times, that the Manager says Hi to me. This time was different. I got there alone when it was busy but the tables were turning over on a regular basis. 1 party was before me. I asked for a table large enough to read my paper. They said no problem and would be a few min. 5 min later they called my name and walked me to the 'smallest tables in the place against the wall. I said no thanks, i requested a table large enough to read the paper. i sat bck down and waited. in 10 min. 2 other parties of 2 that arrived after me were seated in the larger tables. I walked to the front cashier and told them what i saw. she said it's sometimes difficult giving me a seat when its' busy. Again, tables were turning over on a regular basis ( only 1 other party ahead of me when I walked in). She could have said when i first arrived that it would be a problem. But no, she said a few min. She didnt bother to say 'i'm sorry '. I left and drove 2 miles down the street to another restaurant where I was greeted with a smile, and good food.

After trying almost all the breakfast/brunch offerings in the area this is by far the best! Superb customer service, excellent food, and the best pancakes around. The team makes it a point to make everyone feel welcome - regulars and first timers alike. 2-3 specials every weekend, including on Sundays when others only offer standard menu.

I am definitely not a breakfast person. Breakfast food to me seems either too simple (sausage, eggs and bacon) or too sugary. If I had to pick a place for breakfast, this is my go to spot. I've been coming here once or twice a month since it opened and I haven't been let down once. What I usually get: Soup: I really really like their chicken noodle soups on Mondays. Its mostly noodles and there's very little chicken but the hot tasty clear broth is satisfying to me for some reason. At around 4 bucks, it may seem like a ripoff but I would say the quality makes up for the price. Biscuits and Gravy: Lots of gravy, I usually get a side of breakfast potatoes to sop up the sausage gravy after I finish the biscuits. Breakfast Potatoes: Basically fried potato cubes. Works well with a lot of the dishes here. Sausage Links: Larger than your average Johnsonville sausage link but also costs more. Overall I'd say this is a great place for breakfast but I don't really eat breakfast so I'm just guessing. The service is fast, the place is always neat and clean, and the people are nice. If you're the early rising, breakfast eating type definitely give this place a shot. If not and you only come here to nurse a hangover with fatty food like me....still consider this place. I'm sure you won't be let down.

I've been here a couple times - primarily due proximity. Honestly, it's nothing to rave about. The food isn't bad, but it certainly isn't great. There's definitely a lot to choose from on the menu for both breakfast and lunch. They have the same menu items you can find at most places - omelets, skillets, benedicts, eggs, pancakes and french toast. However, they're just at a higher price. Maybe it's because of the ridiculous amount of food you get. One dish could probably serve 2 people. I'd rather have smaller portions - breakfast leftovers don't reheat well. I love the berry bowl - raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and strawberries with a sweet cream on the side. However, I don't recommend the crepes...they're very dough-y and more like a pancake. They definitely are not thin and delicate. Each time I've been here the place has been packed and there's a wait. So in my experience, when a restaurant is that busy, service is sub par. Brunch is no exception. Overall, it's just average. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but if you're looking for a traditional breakfast, Brunch Cafe will do.

This is my suburban equivalent of Meli's cafe in Chicago. It might be even better because its cheaper for bigger portions. For breakfast places around this part of town, it doesn't get any better than here. Firstly, the service here is top-notch. The owner is here every time I've been here and he has always been extremely nice and courteous whether there was just a few people here or whether it was packed to the gills. Service is fast but not rushed and the waitresses are nice. Like Meli's, I've had a fair share of items here and none have disappointed. My notable favorite for breakfast the is the South Beach. For lunch it's the Tuna Melt. And did I mention it's tremendous bang for your buck here? Food-stuffing portions at reasonably great prices.

A big variety of unique breakfast dishes which is a nice change of traditional recipes. I opted for their special today, potato benedict. Looking forward to the fun of returning to create my list of favorites. Service was good with frequent coffee refills Will post a pic of the breakfast menu.

We've passed by this place almost daily but never stopped in. We went there today for brunch and loved it! The place is bigger than what it appears from the outside and was packed the entire time we were there. We got seated right away. The service was great and the wait time for our food was not long at all. My boyfriend ordered the meat and potato skillet and half order of bisquits and gravy and I had the stuffed portabello. We both loved our choices but are anxious to go back and try more items off the menu. They offer a big selection and have lunch items available as well. I'd recommend this place!!

I live across from the brunch cafe and eat there often! The service is quick. The pricing is great . The wait is sometimes a bit long but that's what you get when you want good food. My only complaint is they only offer Breakfast Potatoes no hash browns and the bacon is extremely over cooked at times. Over all this is a great breakfast place.

I have lived in the Bloomingdale/Hanover Park/Roselle area for nearly a year and I have visited Brunch Cafe a number of times (usually once a month). To this day, my guest and I have yet to be disappointed by the outstanding service and food that the staff at Brunch Cafe offer. The food is always cooked to order and it exceeds expectations. The only downside to Brunch Cafe is the parking and waiting line. However, a gem like Brunch Cafe will always have a waiting line. People always return for a quality product and even better service. Keep up the good work Brunch Cafe!

Love the ham here, it is juicy and fresh. Thick cut bacon, not the crappy kind people use in fast food places. Fresh squeezed orange juice, lots of different kinds of tea to choose from. Staff is always very friendly, food served pretty fast, place is nice and clean. Over all a great breakfast place.

Food was good as was service. Met a friend here for lunch and we were there way past closing time (We Were unaware). They never rushed us out or made us feel uncomfortable. I will definitely return.

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.

Thank you Yelpers 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.

I have been here more times than i am able to count and only once had anything ever gone wrong and it was promptly, & politely fixed by remaking my meal after the bacon in it had been burnt the first time. I took my whole family here, extended included and everyone loved it just as much as i did.

Fabi G.

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.

Alison G.

Fail. We went in on Thursday afternoon around 1:30pm. Place was pretty empty, not surprised because they close at 2:30pm, so I'd guess normally people come to eat in early hours. I ordered a simple two eggs with bacon and pancakes, served with potato bites. Bacon and eggs were rather cold, it felt like they were pre cooked already, could have got better from a hotel bfast buffet. Friend's portella mushroom was nothing better, lots of cheese - which is unneccesary. Fruit was not fresh either, how difficult is it to serve nice and fresh fruit? Pancakes was ok in the whole meal. Rest are horrible. Latte was ok too, but i wouldn't want to visit this place again. Too bad and I have no idea how it could get 4 stars rating....

Amanda S.

This place is packed on the weekends, and it's for good reason! Luckily they take reservations, so think ahead. Parking is also tricky, especially with snow mounds but it's all worth a great breakfast. Their menu is huge with unique options. I went with the sweet potato skillet which was unlike anything I've had before. The sweet potatoes were these mini dumplings at the bottom of a skillet with ham, apples and Gouda cheese! They top this one off with two eggs. Skillets are served with pancakes or toast, but the skillet was meal enough! Although this place was packed, our service was great and the food came out quickly. I would definitely recommend this place and will be back again!

Brunch cafe never disappoints. Ordered an ez cheddar, ham & tomato omelette which comes with two big pieces of rye toast & plenty of potatoes. The omelette was very tasty. The potatoes are decent, I like to add salt, pepper & butter to pizazz them up a bit. The coffee is very good. They do get busy Sat/Sun morning so expect to wait a bit. Definitely worth the wait! Only complaint today is that I ordered a side of sausage and did not receive it.

John G.

Good food, good service, nice location. Always seems to be crowded, which is a good thing. I've had the burgers here and the soups. Both are good. Staff is friendly. Only thing stopping it from getting a 5 star rating is while everything is very good, nothing blows me a way.

Howard L.

This is a good brunch spot - clean, comfortable, efficient, and fresh and reasonably priced servings. It was quite busy here at lunch time on a weekday, and I'm told it's always like that. They were quite quick with the food, and the coffee was good as well. We had their signature brunch french toast, which was particularly nice in that it wasn't too sweet on the toppings. We also had the meat and potatoes benedict which also was fine. It's in a newer strip mall, and they've been there 5 years already (I saw it develop over the years as I pass by here fairly routinely on an annual basis, and had't realized the time had flown by like that).

The best breakfast around! Great food, decent prices, excellent wait staff! Our food was ready so quickly I thought it wasn't ours! We are also a salt conscience family and the food was perfectly seasoned! Huge portions! The coffee was fresh and good! Our server Jessica was wonderful!! We will definitely be returning in the near future! Great for kids!!

Gave it another chance and to my extreme dissatisfaction, Brunch Cafe miserably failed, like they have over and over again. Once again, most dishes are near the $10 a pop mark, for breakfast, that's pretty expensive for the $H1T they are serving, especially when there is a wonderful breakfast spot just down the way. By the way, service is good here, never an issue with them. I really am not that complicated and I hate to be a pain in the butt (I am a server!), but I have never sent my food back in my life, until coming here the other day. We all ordered skillets, mine had the hash browns (or "brunch potatoes", non-crispy potato cubes) on the side because every other time I've been here my skillet is 85% potatoes. So, as a test I wondered what would happen if I ordered them on the side. When the food came out, my Mexican skillet was nothing but raw tomatoes, 1 slice of jalapeÃ±o ( I kid you not, 1 measly slice) and a 1/2 ounce of Mexican sausage; $8.99 Once again, the SAME ISSUE I've always had with this place, they screw you out of everything you order. Ok, fine, I don't want to be that person, right? I hate to complain because I know how annoying it is when people do but at this point I realized that they also hadn't brought out the salsa and sour cream that the skillet came with, acccording to the menu. So when the server retrieved it for us, I tried to eat my $8.99 meal again hoping that would make things better. Nope. After I ate the eggs, I just realized all that was left was grease and tomato juice (funny thing there was more grease than anything else in the skillet), so I sent it back, and ordered a side of scrambled eggs because most of my appetite was gone at this point. The best part of the meal was the bacon chocolate chip pancakes, as I've mentioned before in my previous review. The side of scrambled eggs I ordered tasted funny and I couldn't finish it. All of us weren't exactly satisfied with our food. It's just simply not worth the trip. When we got the bill, I wasn't charged for the skillet, but for 2 orders of side of 2 eggs scrambled. Ok, kind of weird to charge me twice for the eggs, but I didn't question it because I knew the girl was on her way out and didn't want to get her in trouble. Besides, seeing how cheap they are with what they serve people, like a skillet of potatoes and eggs for $10 bucks, I figured her cheap-a$$ manager told her to charge me for the eggs on my skillet in addition to my side. When I went to the register, the hostess asked "how was everything today?", to which I replied, "not good at all, actually terrible". She replied, "oh, was it the service or the food", to which I replied, "service was fine, it was the food." Her response was "oh sorry about that, $34.46 please..." Great customer service skills! Excellent. *sigh* What a waste of time and money; my family and I will never be back here again.

Very good breakfast place. Many many choices on the menu. I had whole grainier French toast with market-fresh berries-nothing to complain about. Some orhers made negative comments about slow service. Not this morning. Very positive experience.

Brunch CafÃ© is a place that I'd known about for quite some time prior to actually visiting. They're not too terribly far away from where I work, but unfortunately I start work so early in the morning I hadn't had the opportunity to actually stop by until I had a day off. Now, I hate to do this but having seen this place carrying a 4.5 star rating I admittedly went in with fairly high expectations. Now, there have been places I've gone to with similar high ratings and come out sorely disappointed, and I did have this in mind before stopping but considering how long I had been waiting, and how busy this place was. I was hyped. I walked in and was seated quickly, there was a reasonably lengthy wait before I was asked to order but admittedly they were rather busy. One other thing worth noting about Brunch CafÃ© is that the parking lot is a pain to get in and out of and I always get nervous in packed parking lots that I'm going to return to my car only to find a ding or a scratch. With plenty of time to study the menu before ordering I settled on a Steak skillet with pancakes as my side. From there I took a look around the restaurant. I am not the biggest fan of the decor here, but it wasn't as bad as some other places I've seen. Places that try too hard to look trendy irritate me like a mosquito bite and this place didn't quite go over that edge but I wouldn't say it was the most comfortable style atmosphere in the world either. One somewhat unique thing here is that there are coffee mug engravings carved into the chairs. It gives it a feeling more of a coffee shop than a breakfast joint though. But being a brunch place I guess it's a little of both. Finally my food was brought out, the skillet had nice moist and tasy pieces of steak in it, it was well cut up to get steak in every bite and had a good taste and consistency. The cheese, egg, mushrooms and onion were all nice. The potato was a little on the soft side and could have been a little crisper, but the quality fluffy eggs more than made up for it. Overall this was a fantastic skillet. Was it one of the best I've ever had? No, but it was very good. The pancakes here were nice and soft, the syrup here was thick and rich and had a nice overall flavor. I'd say these were well above average pancakes as well. I was very pleased with my food. Service here was a bit slow, but they were rather busy. The food was excellent, service was friendly. I am going to give this place a full five star rating and say despite having come in with high expectations I did not come away disappointed. If you're looking for a place for breakfast or brunch Then I know a good place with good food to munch What is this place? you might say? Well you should try Brunch CafÃ©

Came here for brunch and very impressed about the menu. They had so many things to choose from. Waffles pancakes burgers skillets Benedict toast. We got the apple toast, berry explosion waffle and steak skillet. The food is good. Service was good to. Will come back again to try something else on the menu.

I'm not really picky when it comes to brunch but there are a couple things that I prefer. One is fresh cream. The other is fresh jam. Both of these items were already waiting for me at my table when I arrived at 12pm so I'm going to have to assume they're not fresh, The place is big enough for a brunch place so they can turn and burn their tables pretty fast. We didn't have to wait long because we took advantage of their call ahead seating but even people that just walked in didn't have to wait too long. I ordered their mediterranean omelet and decided to try their creamy chicken and rice soup. The omelet was fine. It's eggs. There's not really any room for error. But their chicken soup was nauseatingly creamy. Not sure if it was the chance I took on adding the pre-packaged cream to my coffee, but I felt like vomiting. Other than that, the ambiance is nice and kitschy. If I come back, I'm staying away from the pre-packaged cream and creamy soup.

Great food and drinks, staff was very courteous and warm welcoming. However, the wait was absurd. The food quality did compensate for the wait though. We did have a couple complicated orders for our party and there were no mistakes which is a bonus. The staff itself was extremely speedy trying to compensate for the wait itself, but not overly fast in the matter which to rush you out your seat which was enjoyable.

Danielle S.

I don't know why I didn't absolutely love this place the first time I came here (maybe they made some major improvements, or maybe I was cranky), but this is absolutely my favorite breakfast place now. I went to another location, not realizing it was related to this location, and fell in love. When my family came into town, I wanted to try this location again. It did not disappoint! There was a bit of a wait (they will announce your party over the loudspeaker, but it's hard to hear inside - you can wait outside and hear it better). There aren't many places to sit and wait (it's a pretty small place). Luckily it didn't take too long and we were seated at a booth within 20 minutes. The service was great, the atmosphere is cozy and clean, and the menu is my favorite part! So many things to choose from, and many of the items are unique that I have not seen at many other places. We ordered the California crepes, lemon poppy seed crepes, and the Mediterranean omelette (I'm still regretting not getting the stuffed potato pancakes). Everything tasted great - we were hungry so we devoured it. I can't wait to go back!

Following a jam packed funeral service at St. Walters' church this week, my guy took one look at me and was at a loss. But when we lost a close family friend, not to mention, the most wonderful little Irish priest, he decided to console me with food. Out of no where we became part of a large convoy, swathed in black, en route to a wonderful spot: the Brunch Cafe. Once there, we waited a good 35 minutes, but were rewarded with a couple of wonderful cups of coffee. The nice thing about exceptional coffee is that after a couple of draws it's pretty cathartic. Our server was awesome; efficient and unperturbed at the mob scene beginning to form. Fortunately, my guy knew what he wanted pretty fast. The Bennies here are wonderful and come fully loaded: you have a pretty big plate of food. He chose the Portobennie: mushroom, goat cheese, onion, pepper, and wonderful seasoning over 2 poached eggs, with a side of chorizo sausage. There is plenty to choose from at Brunch CafÃ©; though we love going out for breakfast, their lunch options are equally amazing. But I picked the Lemon Poppyseed Crepes. This delicate and delish entrÃ©e comes with giant blackberries and kiwi. It isn't too sweet and it's got a touch of vanilla. The atmosphere is kind of warm; with a lot of burgundy and bright jolts of color here and there. As we got going with the food, we smiled about all the great things our little Irish priest had done. Our plan was to have him marry us and bury us! But in the end, the Brunch CafÃ© did exactly what it needed to do by providing a wonderful brunch in great surroundings to let the healing begin. Awesome!

Wow. Fantastic. This establishment is a professional regarding brunch time cuisine. It took us a good while to even make a decision as to what to eat because EVERYTHING looks so darn FABULOUS. Additionally, I found myself flipping through all 117 pictures posted on Yelp of the different entrees while we waited for our booth. The traditional choices were there... but with a fun flare and creative twist. I finally narrowed things down to the Signature French Toast and the Flourentine Eggs Benedict... because they were so heavily raved about on Yelp. The waitress was super cool and asked if I was interested in playing some brunch roulette. I said, "yes !" The hubs ordered the brunch chicken and the FIL ordered the Reuben. A quick 15-20 minutes later I covered my eyes and POOF a glorious plate of Signature French Toast with strawberries, kiwi, and vanilla infused icing was placed in front of me, ready to be devoured. Not a bite was spared. This place is PERFECT for brunches, delicious food, a family meal, and an opportunity for a good time with great food. Cannot wait to go back!

For a while, Brunch Cafe had been on my Bookmark list for 'places to try' and I'm disappointed and ashamed that I let it linger there for so long. Had I known what I was missing I might not have let it sit idly pending, but the past is the past. I loved it. In previous years, I've had a personal Quest for the Best challenge, and one of the criteria was Best Eggs Benedict. I mention this, because the BC was the catalyst to resurrect that challenge...however it's going to be extremely difficult to find a contender to compete the Brunch Cafe's solid, top spot on the list. The decor is modern, and cozy; It's got the charming bustle of a diner; and the menu is impressive. Tea drinkers should be pleased with their 'tea board' which offers small samples of the blends they offer, so you can interact with the tea before making a blind selection based on the name (it's a nice touch). I guess the Scrambler plates leave something to be desired, but one cannot help get food envy when a scrambler is delivered side by side with the eggs benedict. Needless to say, I'm a fan. I've recommended Brunch Cafe to friends and family (and a stranger once which was a little awkward, but oh well) so I'll certainly be back for more. Honestly though, it'll be very tough to try something new knowing what I know about the eggs benedict. [Side note: How many times can I fit 'eggs benedict' into a Yelp review? The answer is apparently 4]

This place is good. Not amazing, but definitely, solidly good. I've been here a variety of times. Service is always very pleasant, quick and kind. Big plus. The food is a bit hit or miss. I love their waffles with fresh berries. Delish. But my mom asked if they made their own hollandaise sauce, as she was contemplating getting eggs benedict. I was like, mom, of course they do. This is a brunch restaurant, and hollandaise is easy to make fresh. But we asked our waitress, she checked with the kitchen, and nope! Really?! To me, that was very off-putting. What else comes out of a can here? If you can't get fresh, homemade hollandaise sauce at a brunch cafÃ©, what do you have to do? Clearly this really bugged me. Anyway, I digress. Overall the food though is tasty. Not a bad option.

Amazing breakfast place that we go to already once a week. Our all time favorites are the sweet crepes, you can't go wrong with the strawberry banana crepes. Menu offers a ton of options, both for breakfast and lunch. Waitresses are always very sweet and the place has a great atmosphere.

Went here for St. Patrick's day (my bday) breakfast around 10am, and perfect timing. No wait, no crowds. Read great reviews here and wanted to check this place out. First off, our waitress was very friendly and helpful in answering our questions about what was 'popular' and her recommendations. Service was outstanding also. Came with 2 friends who ordered the caliente omelet (this was enormous and looked like what an omelet should look like, big and fluffy ). She said it was delicious! My other friend and I both had the south beach scrambler. We tried a side of biscuits and gravy, biscuits were very tender and fresh, sausage gravy was tasty and not greasy or heavy. I enjoyed these! South beach scrambler has spinach, bacon and avocado with melted montery jack cheese. This was good, but I assumed the avocado was on the side and not in the scrambler (bad assumption). I love spinach, and like avocado, but the avocado was a little too overwhelming for me as there was a lot of it in the scrambler, lots of spinach too, but that didn't bother me. Avocado can be a bit heavy so I would have preferred less and couldn't even finish half of my order. Brunch potatoes were pretty simple and could have been served warmer. We tried a side of buttermilk pancakes also and these were pretty good! Everyone commented that they tasted something sweet in the batter...not sure what it is, I'll have to ask the waitress next time. They were decent though. Kindof of creamy, but fluffy...these were different. Next time I would try the omelet or eggs benedict, lots of menu options.. I will be back though. Our food was served in less than 10 minutes!! No lie!! Super fast, attentive service. Kudos to our waitress, she checked on us constantly!! Very impressed.

Came in as a recommendation from my coworkers. The nice lady in the front led me to the left of the restaurant which is a little add on to the other piece of the dinning room. ,2 booths and a few other tables. It took around 5 minutes for my waitress (lynette or nicolette) to come and acknowledge me. She came back with the drinks for my daughters right away though. Took my order which was steak skillet with pancakes and choc chip pancakes for my daughter.. it took around 10 mins which is not bad at all. My butter was hard as a rock I had to take the butter from a table that had just left.. After running my food my waitress never came back (until she had to drop my check). My daughter had to get our boxes I noticed everyone that was sat there had to long before being acknowledge. Food was very good which is why I will be back.. maybe next time I won't be sat in the same spot... HOPEFULLY!!

You can never do wrong coming here. Sometimes there's a wait for a table but it's worth it. The mimosa on a weekend morning is perfect with any meal!

Love this place! Everytime I go here, im always leaving fully satisfied. A little pricey but its worth it. 4 stars because one time I was here, we were totally forgotten by the waitress. Communication needs improvement. Otherwise, highly recommended!

Found this place using Yelp. I wish I would have taken pictures, because the food not only looked delicious, but also tasted delicious. I got the Irish skillet and substituted Swiss Cheese for American and chose pancakes as a side. Both were above the standards I was thinking i'd get. Very fresh ingredients. The standout on the menu, however was what my fiance ordered. She got the breakfast quesadilla. Huge portion was was loaded with eggs and all the fixings. We also noticed a lot of people were ordering this dish.

I came here about a month ago, on a weekend, no reservation (didn't know they took them!) and waited quite a long time, but it's clearly VERY popular. Family place, pretty noisy. Food was very good. I had a simple vegetarian type omelet with fruit on the side. Only reason for 4 stars was waiting and noise. But some people like a boisterous atmosphere during brunch. Will probably try again, with a reservation.

Very underwhelmed. I had heard great things about this place, but fail to see the allure. I went there with my two children, found it to be overpriced with okay food. The place was packed so service was slow. One adult and two small children cost almost $30? We won't be returning any time soon.

This place never disappoints. They know how to move through a holiday weekend breakfast crowd and still manage to give you good food and great service. This skillets are usually my dish of choice, but the apple bread French toast is awesome too.

Okay, I'm updating my review to 5-stars. I've spent more money here (over the years) than at any other restaurant. That's got to say something, especially since it's a breakfast/lunch place, and we're not dropping $100+ per visit. I've literally only had 1 or 2 dishes here I didn't really care for (I've tried almost everything on the menu...literally), and that has more to do with my tastes -- no fault of Brunch Cafe. If it's your first time visiting, may I suggest: -Stuffed potato pancakes -Ay Caramba or Caliente skillet/omelet -Just about any French Toast offering -- if they've got one on special, go with that. You get eggs and bacon or ham -Berry Chicken Salad (really good, especially when berries are in season. The pretzel roll is delicious.) -Sweet Potato Skillet -Apple Gouda Melt If you're getting a breakfast dish that comes with pancakes, sub for the multigrain pancakes. They add cinnamon to the batter and they really come out great. I give my wife a hard time about going to eat here almost every Saturday we're in town (I like to try new places), but I never leave hungry or unsatisfied.

Took my toddler for a Brunch date.. Great service .. Even better food.. I tried the breakfast sliders with potatoes on the side .. Waitress recommended to get them crispy if you like it that way .. Which was great.. Got my daughter the French toast for kids.. Which came with cool whip , syrup and a cup of strawberries & banana slices ln the side .. Really good .. Good food.. Glad to have found another breakfast place with good food ..

Cannoli Crepe. I'm going to give you a minute and let that simmer. It was as rich and delicious as you would expect, without being overly sweet or filling. A cannoli crepe special included one thin vanilla crepe lightly stuffed with cannoli like cream and a few chocolate chips, topped with pistachios, your choice of eggs and bacon. It took me all of .6 seconds to decide on my meal. BOOM. Hubs enjoyed a massive breakfast burrito and the little one was more than happy grabbing handfuls of scrambled egg and diced potatoes. While I didn't really get to see too much of the restaurant, I have to tell you why... We waited for 20 minutes for brunch on a weekend (no surprise there), but once we ordered our food came out in less than 10 minutes. They really, really know how to turn tables here. And they don't turn 'em and burn 'em, they just get your food out quickly and with a friendly smile. Cannoli crepe, guys, it's what my dreams are made of.

Good food...horrible and unfriendly service. The staff was cold from the get go. They seemed annoyed with the world and were not welcoming. At the end of our service (paying the bill) they didn't say a word. I believe they were mad because we stayed a bit longer than expected. We eat slow and and we had a good conversation going. It's Good Friday! Relax a little and smile. Tables were constantly available. I don't think we were keeping you from making more money. No worries....I won't be come back and will definitely not recommend it to anyone.

Best breakfast around. My family likes coming here on Sunday for breakfast my friends like coming here on girls days out. They are very friendly. I get the California crepe or the south beach omelets. My dad gets the stuffed potato pancakes. My mom gets the stuffed baked potato omley. My brother gets the breakfast burrito. My sister gets the lemon poppy seed crepes. Everyone loves this warm comforting breakfast place. I came for lunch and had the tuna melt and my friend had the burger. Yum. So great this is a place you can go to days in a row. The kids ket the berry bowl it has a tasty cream sauce on the side with raspberries strawberries and blue berries. Go today.........

Pretty solid spot for breakfast. They have all you could want and then some. The decor is pretty standard for a breakfast/lunch spot and the staff is friendly and VERY speedy! This is always a go-to spot for breakfast and will remain so in the future. We'll come back again.

Jun K.

we've moved into the area now and this place is pretty much around the corner and the reviews were pretty good so I swung by. The place was simple but not in a bad way, just enough to make it home like. the staff rocking bears gear made me happy. Food was fast and delicious, I will try more of the menu because there were so many choices but only one stomach to feed. Also they have $2.50 shots of espresso which I dig but will have to venture into the reg coffee next time.

This place is really on a downward spiral. I used to love coming here for breakfast, but sadly the last few times I've left with sheer disappointment. On my last visit the service was terrible. The waitress brought our food and was just plain rude. I asked her for a straw for my sons juice and she flung it on the table. The girl never checked if we needed refills on our drinks and never even came back to the table until she brought our check. She just dropped it on the table and didn't say a word. I ordered the breakfast burrito it was mediocre at best. My potatoes were cold and there was hardly any filling in my burrito. There are several breakfast places in the area, it's safe to say this was my last time here.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, how have I not written a review for this already? Hold the freaking phone, that's not possible!!!! I *love* me some Brunch Cafe. I love the ambiance, the speed of the food, the QUALITY of the food, the variety of dishes, and I think it's awesome how they have their specials actually on display when you walk in. Not on a piece of paper, but on actual plates so you can SEE them. It makes for a very appetizing wait (if there is one). And if there IS a wait, WAIT. It's worth it! On my most recent trip, I ordered the veggie omelet, my daughter got the french toast sticks, my son ordered the eggs and bacon--which came w/ surprise hash browns!!, and my husband got the cinnamon roll french toast. All.of.it .was.amazing. I don't think there's a thing you could order at The Brunch Cafe that would be bad! They're quick, friendly, and they provided a to-go cup for my husband's coffee. Talk about service! We will be back again and again!!

This place. Oh this place! I came on a Sunday afternoon for breakfast with my boyfriend. I read the reviews and expected there to be a wait. We were seated within 30 minutes. We were able to hang around outside because the host calls names over a microphone and there is a speaker outside (score!) I hate being packed like hungry sardines in the waiting area of restaurants. Once seated, we were pleasantly overwhelmed by all the awesome options before us! The menu looked and sounded all so delicious! There was a lot I wanted to try. I opted for the South Beach Scrambler (scrambled eggs, monterey jack cheese, spinach, bacon, avocado) served with a side of brunch potatoes and blueberry pancakes. My man ordered the churro waffle with bacon and brunch potatoes. The food was amazing. The scrambler was delicious! Next time, I will probably ask for them to go light on the cheese (the entire top was covered in melted cheese. Don't get me wrong, I love cheese, but I am also trying to be somewhat conscious of fat/calories LOL!) The potatoes were seasoned well and the pancakes were delicious. I was hoping for a bit more blueberry glaze (they seemed to just be topped with a handful of blueberries and only had a dabble of the glaze). But they were still fantastic and fluffy! My boyfriend absolutely lovely his churro waffle. This wouldn't be something that I would think to order. He let me try it, and oh Lordy - FANTASTIC! It reminded me of a funnel cake from Six Flags. He was head over heels in love, and he isn't too vocal about food (meaning, it has to really be amazing for him to comment on it AND to say that we will definitely be back to a restaurant). He said that he plans to get two of those waffles next time haha! The bacon was also crispy and thick. Our waitress didn't chat us up much, which is fine, we were so hungry that we just wanted to order and get our food haha. I was very happy to have my diet coke refilled each time before it was completely empty. I was thirsty, so I pounded through a few of them. She kept them coming and that kept me happy. Not overly friendly but extremely attentive, and that honestly matters more to me. Keep our drinks filled and check on us every so often. That's all I need! If I had to make one comment, I would say that the portions are a bit smaller than most breakfast places. I almost never finish my meal from Wildberry and similar establishments. I was able to finish all my food with no discomfort (same with my boyfriend). I like leftovers so I wish the portions were just a big bigger. We will most definitely be back here and I cannot wait to try something new and delicious from their menu!

I took my 89 yr old aunt to this place on Labor Day. We had to wait about 15 min but it was worth it. Great service- people seem to know the owner and staff so it has a following. I had the stuffed potato pancakes-best breakfast I have had in a lonnnggg time and I had enough for two meals. My aunt had the berry creeps and those were delicious -lots if fresh berries. The coffee was excellent; quality food; fair prices. Decor is pleasant-clean. Flowers on tables. I will definitely return and recommend this place to anyone in the area

Kimi G.

The menu here is incredible! Such a variety of breakfast items, it's hard to pick what to to try. Plus they always have a new specail. Although, you can never go wrong with bacon, chocolate pancakes. Always enjoy my food here! Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it's a mad house to get in.

Rosanna L.

My brother has raved about this place and I'm a huge breakfast girl so I couldn't deny it any longer. Sunny side, scrambled, over easy, any style eggs and I'm all yours! Sunday brunch time was busy, but a wait for 4 was only about 15-20 minutes, awesome, because I was starving! The menu reminds me of Yolk, the font, the style, hmmm something I should know? So many options, where to start? French toast? Waffle? Skillet? Omelettes? Ugh someone help me!! I wanted one of everything! Okay Rosanna be realistic here! Okay, okay I ended up going for the biscuits and gravy, 2 sunny side eggs, waffle, and wheat toast. Dang girl you can eat! I sure can with the help of my gang. The waffle ( yelp.com/biz_photos/RGZ7â€¦ ) was fresh and had a crunch to eat, loveee. Biscuits and gravy ( yelp.com/biz_photos/RGZ7â€¦ ) was pretty good, but I've had better, maybe a thicker sauce. I also got a taste of the red velvet french toast ( yelp.com/biz_photos/RGZ7â€¦ ) and boyyyy was it sweet! For you sweet tooth! It's good, but I'm not a sweet breakfast kind of girl, give me my eggs! If you're a meat lover get the steak skillet ( yelp.com/biz_photos/RGZ7â€¦ ), juicy and tendert!!! Enjoyed our brunch, had good service, we might be back, if you were closer we definitely would be back. See ya Brunch.

My husband and I went there on a busy Sunday morning but were seated within 15 minutes. The waitress greeted us immediately and timely took our order. The crepes with avocado, spinach, bacon, cheese and topped with hollandaise sauce were delicious and I got two nice size stuffed crepes, one of which I took home and ate later as a snack. Would definitely go back. Menu had a lot of things I'd like to try.

I was craving for a good brunch on last Saturday's and thank god I found this place . Me and my husband drove for 30mins to reach there and then 10mins waiting for seating but this was worth it .I loved my egg skillet. it was just perfect, the way it should be.

Jessica P.

I came here on a Saturday morning with friends and was seated immediately.. The menu has a lot of options whether you are craving a sweet or savory breakfast/brunch.. Food - I ordered the California crepe and it was delicious...the crepe tasted a little sweet as well....the portion of the crepe that I ordered was huge..my friends ordered the south of the border, Ay Caramba!, and an exceptional with Canadian bacon (I think it was a little tough to chew and salty a little but I guess that's what Canadian bacon is like)...we all enjoyed our meals and had leftovers to take home...we were definitely very full as we left the restaurant --Dessert: we ordered the Bananarama Pancakes..it was good, but we could barely taste the graham crackers.... Service - nice service.. Atmosphere - nice to come with friends or family

Brunch Cafe has been on my must eat at list for a long time now. Unfortunately, I wasn't particularly impressed with my visit. I ordered the signature brunch french toast, which is soaked in vanilla bean custard, baked and topped with kiwis and strawberries. Overall, it was just OK and I did enjoy the flavors. However, I felt like it could have been presented and executed better. First, more vanilla bean custard could have been drizzled atop the toast. I could have dipped the pieces of my toast that I ate without fruit into it and it would keep the toast moist. Second, the amount of fruit I got on top of my toast was super skimpy. There were countless times where I found myself eating just the toast without any fruit at all. Third, the sides of the plate had a berry sauce on it. I don't know if that was meant as a decor or garnish. It tasted good and more of that would have been nice. My boyfriend ordered the Mardi Gras scrambler, which consisted of scrambled eggs, andouille sausage, spinach, oven roasted tomatoes and provolone cheese. It was also served with their brunch potatoes and a side of wheat toast. Overall, he found his meal to be just OK. However, he absolutely did not enjoy the potatoes since they were too mushy. I tried them and I agreed. They were seasoned OK, but the mushy texture ruined it. Service wise, it too was just OK. It took us a while to get a server. Also, we never got any water with our meal. Halfway through our meal, our server noticed this, acknowledge it and said that she would bring us some water, but she never did. It wasn't like we needed it, but it's pretty standard to get a glass of water when you go out to eat. However, she was good about refiling my boyfriend's cup of coffee and giving me more hot water for my tea. Their tea selection is wonderful and they give you a board with several different small jars of tea that you can smell before making your selection. Unfortunately, I left underwhelmed and I definitely would not make a special trip to come back.

Excellent service, but unexciting food. Big chunks of barely cooked potatoes in the skillet, but minimal amounts of meat in it. Sent coffee back twice before I got a hot cup. All these high ratings, maybe I ordered the wrong thing. But I'll go with once wiser, twice the fool.

Connie L.

Brunch Cafe is my default place for brunch because it's the best place in the area whenever I'm craving an omelette. The staff have always been friendly and are good about checking up on my table. The food comes out relatively fast and the portions are large. I typically leave with a food baby.....and then I go into a food coma shortly afterwards.

You know what really started our visit off on the right foot? Our wonderful waitress Micky. She was sweet, attentive, personable and witty - such a pleasant breath of fresh air early in the morning! The first thing I realized was that SO MANY things sounded amazing! However, we ordered the biscuits and gravy for him and the aye caliente skillet for me. Mmmmh yummy skillet.. crispy potatoes, creamy melted cheese, sweet tomatoes, onions and jalapenos mixed in with great chorizo and topped with scrambled eggs. A side of pancakes, homemade salsa and thick sourcream. Though the red salsa was extremely fresh and tasty, be sure to ask for the salsa verde - this was my favorite out of the two. The chorizo was good, not fatty at all which I like. It seemed a little heavy on cumin, which made it vaguely remind me of middle Eastern cuisine. Heavy cumin is totally fine with me, though! The biscuits and gravy were thoroughly enjoyed as well. Plenty of sausage bits to be found in the gravy and fresh, flaky biscuits underneath this magical goo. I spied some amazing looking pieces of bacon on our way out, and will be sure to order a side of it next time! Micky told us that the kitchen has 6 daily specials, 3 for breakfast and 3 for lunch except on the weekends when there is 2. The chef is a creative mind (just look at the menu and try not to drool!), whom values fresh ingredients and a homemade endresult. And so do I!

Although it is always busy, this place is so good! We've had many things on their menu and all we have liked! Black and white pancakes are good, so are blueberry bliss. Apple French toast was very good and so are the skillets. My favorite is the ay caramba-different but in a good way. All the dishes always look pretty and I can't say I've had a bad thing here! Great service too!

Perry S.

I have eaten and many breakfast/brunch restaurants and I have never found one better than brunch cafÃ©. I have probably been there 20+ times and they have never failed to provide fast service with food that is delicious. I can honestly say I have never had a bad meal there be it the eggs,crepes, salads or sandwiches.

Paul K.

Good service, good food, and BUSY!! I had the 3 meat omelet. Can you guess the meat? OK I will tell you bacon, sausage, and ham!! What a surprise. My omelet was cooked perfect and potatoes, toast, and coffee was all good. I would say if you are in the area drop buy and enjoy.

I've been going here on and off for a few years, since long before I started Yelping. It's a good place with some nice twists on brunch classics. Solid option if you're in the area and feel brunchy, though it's definitely crowded if you go during weekends. I decided to stop by Saturday because I was starving and had some work I needed to get done. They have free wifi, so hey -- multitasking! Love it! I had an Ay Caramba! skillet and a caramel latte. Although there was a line of people waiting to be seated, one nice thing about brunching by yourself is that it's more likely you will get seated right away. All those groups need bigger tables, you see. That means the tiny tables that only seat two are all open and lonely, and just waiting for a one or two-top to get seated there. I even had a window seat! :) The Ay Caramba! skillet tastes like what would happen if huevos a la Mexicana and chorizo and eggs had a delicious baby. I ordered it with Greek toast, eggs over easy, so I could smear my toast with jam and stab my egg yolks with it. (Yes, I do have a thing for egg yolks, and I'm not ashamed of it.) So. Tasty. Just enough spice, and that skillet comes with salsa and sour cream on the side. The chorizo was properly drained, too, so there wasn't a gigantic pile of grease when I was done -- just a nice little sheen like you always get with chorizo. Good times. The caramel latte was also delightful. My server was friendly and efficient, even though it was one of their busiest days of the week. Good place.

I have gone here a few times and its always hit or miss. Sometimes the food is great! However, the other half the time they mess up my order completely and never seem to care. If they could just work on their consistency, this would be the best spot to have brunch.

I have visited Brunch Cafe a few times now and I am sold. This is a great spot for breakfast! Expect a wait, it's gotten a reputation for a good place and it sees all the crowds. Cannot say I have been disappointed by the service, food or atmosphere at all. I have recommended Brunch Cafe to several of my friends and the rest of my family, who all now love going as well!

We keep coming back to Brunch again and again! Worth the wait, service is quick and friendly. Great menu with a lot of options. We have tried several other breakfast spots in the area (Bloomingdale cafe, Dino's...) and Brunch remains our favorite.

Love this place. Every time I go here I leave so full and it doesn't kill my wallet. All the food is cooked well, it's always clean and the service is great. If you go on a weekend morning expect a wait. The south each scrambler is fantastic - although you can't go wrong on this menu. Always bring people in from out of town and they always leave impressed.
(5)
Rick M.

My favorite breakfast spot! It's been a sunday tradition of mine to try out different places for breakfast and this is the spot. The waits are long as it's not the biggest place but the wait is worth it. Gluten free pancakes is a rare option as well. The only reason for not giving it 5 stars is the price.

After coming here multiple times, today will be my last. We purchased a living social deal a few years ago for here that we never used. The fine print says the paid value did not expire until 2016, so we finally decided to use it today. The hostess refused to let us use it despite the fine print right in front of her. She called the manager, George, who said in a jerk tone "this expired 3 years ago buddy." We AGAIN explained about the fine print and pointed directly at it. He responded by saying he never knew that (smart business owner to not read what you sign up for...) and threw my fiancÃ©'s phone on the counter. This was in front of multiple customers and we were embarrassed even though we were correct. He was such a jerk about it and clearly did not care about our business, which he's now lost.

Great experience! Food was delicious. Had the Ay Caramba Skillet with salsa and sour cream. What I really loved was the many choices of tea! Ahhh that got me so happy. I didn't know which one to choose! I ended up getting Lemon Green Tea, it came with honey and lemon on the side. The server was super sweet amd very attentive. Will totally go back!

Erin L.

I met some girlfriends for brunch here and was impressed! Their menu was a mix of traditional and more unique items. One of my friends got chocolate bacon pancakes. They were delish! I got this mexican skillet but it was put on 3 mini tortas - unique! The coffee was a little weak for my taste - but I love me some STRONG coffee. One of my buds got a bloody mary with a huge celery stick and one got hot tea. They had an impressive variety of teas. But when they brought it out, it was served with Smuckers honey in plastic containers....kind of strange. This place is a little more expensive than your normal breakfast joint. After tax and tip, over $16 for one person for coffee and breakfast food but it's delicious, unique and fast food!

Five stars, miss this place like crazy. We moved from Roselle to Evanston two years ago and we still have not found s spot near us that comes close. In the four years we were in Roselle we ate here monthly and never had a bad meal. It has it all - great food, great atmosphere, and really great service. We may just have to take the drive soon. California crepes, I need you in my life again!

Another warm sunny weekend, another breakfast place to try out - this past weekend I joined two siblings at Brunch Cafe. The exterior facade (simple breakfast joint in a strip mall) doesn't give away the surprising spacious area they have inside. Service was the usual for a good breakfast spot - quick & pleasant without being overbearing. While I love French toast (which is their mainstay), I simply could not forego the Sweet Potato skillet. MMM, gouda + apples + ham on sweet potatoes? Best skillet I've had in a long time. The one curiosity of this place - they are a breakfast joint but don't do hash browns, in any format. Their skillets, stuffed potato pancakes (which one of my sisters had), etc only come with breakfast potatoes. They simply do not do hash browns. We asked. Odd. I will definetely come back and try to do the French Toast.

I had been debating on my reviews for Brunch Cafe. My fiance and I had decided to come here on a regular basis and found that coming to Brunch Cafe is like dating a man. My review is based on "To Go" and not dining in. The experience is probably best dining in with Brunch Cafe. Our first date with Brunch Cafe was awesome, great, and butterflies in our stomach kind of date. He showed us the best side of him (I will just say "him/his/he" for now as I'm the one writing the review). The food was spectacular, eggs beaten just right or in my case cooked perfectly over medium, the sausage patties were not overcooked nor was it undercooked. The potatoes were seasoned perfectly, and the pancakes were moist. It was the best first kiss. The smiles on the cashier's face was beautiful, and service was just up to par. Our first date was like a dream. Our second date wasn't as glamorous as the first, but we thought, "that's okay. Maybe Brunch Cafe is just tired and overworked." We had ordered scrambled eggs and bacon instead of sausages for one and also eggs over medium and corned beef hash after changing my mind about getting sausage links. When we arrived to get our food, the smiles seemed to have slightly diminished and we didn't feel that warm fuzzy feeling we first had. Nevertheless, we were excited to dig in. The bacon was not crispy as how we like it and they gave us both the sausage patties and corned beef hash instead of just corned beef hash. He also made my eggs over easy so it was more runny than I would have liked. The potatoes were okay and not seasoned as well as the last time. The pancakes kisses were still great. We decided to go on a third date. This time we were hopeful that our assumption that Brunch Cafe was just having an off second date was true. Unfortunately, our third date showed that Brunch Cafe really was just a great first date kind of guy. It was a horrible 3rd date experience. Because our order was incorrect the 2nd time, I decided to look through the bag first before leaving and asked the employees if they can show me our order. The employees seemed to have been annoyed with my request. I had asked for Jam over the phone but there was none added to the bag. We had ordered our eggs with sausage patties and corned beef hash. The corned beef hash had an off taste to it and was not cooked thoroughly. It was definitely on the soggy side. My stomach turned for the worst after eating it and I was unable to function the rest of the day. the potatoes were also okay and the best part was always the pancakes. I don't know why we did, but we decided to. Out of stupidity on my part? We decided to forgive Brunch Cafe and give him one last chance. *sigh* I was very skeptical but I decided to be the foolish romantic instead and only remember the first date we had with him. This was the defining moment and our deciding factor to never again see Brunch Cafe. We had ordered scrambled egg with ham and eggs over medium with ham. Normally there are napkins in the bag, but this time there were none. When I paid for it, the cashier failed to give me my change. Was it really that she forgot to give me my change or was she taught to assume that the rest of the change was a tip? This definitely rubbed me the wrong way and it made me uneasy. When I arrived home, instead of eggs over medium I got scrambled eggs. Because the change incident still lingered in my mind, the scrambled eggs definitely upset me. I don't normally let things like this affect me, but I just couldn't let it go. The potatoes tasted like they were not fresh and gave us left over potatoes. I'm not saying this is the case, it just tasted like it. The butter was placed in with the pancakes so when we opened it, it was liquid and splashed out. Still, the best part is their pancakes. Why did I not ask them to check the bag to see my order this time? I guess I had just watched "Waiting" with Ryan Reynolds the night before. Because of that movie, I am more scared to speak up about my food than ever before. So, we have decided to break up with Brunch Cafe. It's unfortunate because our first date was just beautiful, magnificent, and magical. But, like wonderful first dates, that's just what it was. So long Brunch Cafe.

I go here with my family for brunch, on average, twice per month. They have great recipes here, and it's no surprise why there's always a wait. I have never been disappointed with ANY of their offererings ranging from traditional breakfasts/pancakes to breakfast burritos to omelets to skillets. Everything's delicious and the owners are very kind and friendly. They deserve the success that they've had. :-)

I have only eaten here once, but I had a great experience. I was meeting up with some buddies before a golf outing and we all had a great meal. I thought there was a lot of good options on the menu that were different than other places. I'm glad I saw this place again on yelp, because it reminds me to go back. Food was great, service was good. Give it a try.
