My husband and I recently visited for the first time with his parents, and we absolutely loved it. My in-laws come here often since they live nearby, so when we were in the area, we decided to finally give it a try. (Sorry, no pictures this time! I was enjoying my food so much that I completely forgot.) The ambiance is welcoming, bright, and modern, and the restaurant is much larger than I expected. Everything was clean, and our waitress was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. I ordered the Lox Plate, and it was outstanding. The salmon had the perfect texture and seasoning, the cucumbers and bagel were fresh, and all of the flavors paired together beautifully. I love seeing lox on a menu, but many restaurants either don't do it well or serve portions that are too small. Here, everything was spot on, and the portion was generous enough that I left completely satisfied. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal, and my husband and I have already said we'll be back very soon. This restaurant is a fantastic addition to the neighborhood, especially since there aren't many local breakfast spots nearby that aren't part of a chain. Highly recommend! read more

The Vanilla Iced Latte w/ Oatmilk was to my liking. It had no sugar and it was balanced flavor wise. The Oatmilk always hits. The Corn Beef hash skillet was a good too. I will say a 4/5 - wish it had my Corned Beef and a bit more crisp. I liked that the onions & peppers were chopped the same size and had a good amount of cheese. Beautiful decor inside. Very bright and inviting. The staff is very nice but they definitely need more help in the dining room...maybe an extra waiter/waitress or 2. It does get very busy especially on the weekends. I will go there again. read more

5800 North Cafe - Vanilla Iced Latte w/ Oatmilk - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Food was decent. Very standard diner food. The Mediterranean omelete was overpowered by olives which were very salty. Coffee was fine. I'm surprised with all the 5 star reviews given that nothing really stood out. Service was fast and friendly as we were in a rush. It's a pretty large place and can get busy. read more

Food is just ok. Chiliquiles were lukewarm temperature. Everything we had was bland. The place is nice and clean. Our server was nice but not overly warm. read more

The food was delicious, and the portions were pretty big. (Photos will be attached). Everything was so good! Pancakes moist not dry & and overly sweet. The chilaquiles were full and very filling. The service was great, our server Chelsy was very nice and attentive. Our food came out quick. The restaurant looks new and is very clean. (Even the restrooms were clean which is a big deal for me) We will definitely be coming back. read more

Love 5800 North! Their breakfast selection is amazing, so much delicious food and we love their different pancake add-ons. Lunch items are fantastic too. Love the look of the cafe...ambiance with bright lighting and clean look. Love it! Everyone is so friendly and kind. Great neighborhood restaurant! read more

We were so excited to finally try this place! They opened a couple months ago and they're a perfect addition to the neighborhood! Great food for a good price. We got the Berry Mascarpone French Toast & Barbacoa Chilaquiles Skillet and both were amazing! And the portions?! We were so stuffed and had enough for leftovers the next day. It's a spacious room with quick service! To top it off, they serve Intelligentsia coffee so the lattes tasted great! What's funny is, we went a couple weeks ago and then took some family the week after and now I want to go again! read more

My friend and I are always looking for brunch places that are midway between us and stumbled upon 5800 N. The website doesn't really do the menu justice, it's kind of hard to read. That said, there are so many options, particularly for this vegetarian and egg hater. Pro tip: Make a reservation! The place had a solid wait from the time we arrived until we left. Service was ok, spotty at bits, but I also attribute it to the place being busy. We had to ask a second time for some missing items. To eat, I got the berry crepes and a side of hash browns with cheese. My friend got the eggs Benedict with a side of pancakes. The crepes were very good, but I preferred the bites without the berry mascarpone filling. The side of pancakes my friend got was huge, this would be plenty as a main. They are very good at accommodating larger parties, but do wait to seat you until your party is all there. read more

You need to go here! A plethora of wonderful things about this place ---where do I start -- OH --THE FOOD--AWESOME! BEST breakfast ever! So far tried fluffy, generous omelettes, Benedict's, stuffed french toast!! YUM! My picky uncle (the breakfast connoisseur) comes from Des Plaines to eat here. Said they have the best Benedicts he ever had. Also the Acai and mango ssmoothies, white chocolate & Pistachio latte --soooo good! BEST VEGGIE BURGER EVER! (homemade - NOT frozen) The decor is adorable and inviting - some tables can fit huge families, clean, modern bathrooms and friendly service! Love the music! Been there many times ----the owner stops by to check on customers - love it! Now go and ENJOY! :) read more

Vibrant new Breakfast spot. Service was wonderful (staff is familiar as they moved over from a different breakfast spot.) Food was delicious and menu is good with a few things I haven't seen before. Expect to wait for a table at busy times. My family will be back. read more

I was really pleased with our breakfast from 5800 North last weekend. I ordered over the phone to pick up and it came up just before I got there. We ordered a skillet, omelet, kids' pancakes (I upgraded to the berry mascarpone ones for an extra $2) and because I was curious got the cinnamon role pancakes even though I knew we wouldn't be able to eat much of them. The omelet was really good. It wasn't all that much different from any other omelet but I appreciated that they had a create your own option (which a lot of places don't, surprisingly) so I could get what I wanted without having to delete or add something from an existing item and hoping they got it right. Thanks! My little one was THRILLED with her pancakes. When I got home and put the bag down she came over and saw them and immediately pulled them out of the bag, and got pretty upset when I pulled them away from her to get her seated. But when she finally got to eat them she gobbled them up, going straight for the fruit. I tasted the mascarpone and it was quite good; I'd consider ordering this dish for myself in the future. And this was a huge item, to the extent that I wondered if they took the order wrong and gave us the regular "adult" portion (but they were smaller silver-dollar pancakes so I think it's just big). The cinnamon roll pancake was as I suspected far too much but we had to give it a taste. It wasn't bad. They make it with something like the frosting from a cinnamon roll (maybe that's exactly what it is) and dusted with cinnamon. It wasn't bad, but I'm not sure it's my thing. Points for creativity and originality! The restaurant is very bright, sparkling, and spacious--you don't feel like you're elbow to elbow with the next table, thankfully. There's even a small parking lot down the block. There's some street parking and it's even directly across from a Pace station (we're in Edison Park, so Pace buses run up here). The first time I visited it wasn't overrun with patrons and there was no wait when I stopped in on Sunday around 11, so I'd be interested to eat in sometime. The second time I visited was to pick up breakfast for Mother's Day, and I ate less than half my omelet because I kept finding eggshells in it. Gross and makes me sick to my stomach, so that was a major miss. I'll be back... probably. read more

This is my second time ordering from this cute place. I ordered some breakfast for myself today. I had the waffles with chicken and jalapeños. I also ordered a side of hash browns with onions. My order was ready at 8 when I went in to pick it up . It was a little empty inside the restaurant, but it's a Wednesday, so maybe they get busy later. My food was so good , they also included cutlery , syrup, butter and ketchup. The chicken breast was very good , tender and cooked perfectly and it. They were just the right amount of jalapeños in it. Hash browns were amazing good . Buttery and crispy. The waffle was very good as well. I did actually step inside the restaurant area . It is so cute and clean inside . I will definitely go back and have so thing to eat inside one day. So if you're in the neighborhood of Jefferson park on Milwaukee, checked them out . read more

A very warm,welcoming place to eat.. service was great.... Prices and pretty fair... Although a few downfalls... ordered the skirt steak skillet, steak was grey in color, and tasted like cheap meat... I won't order again..we ordered berry mascarpone French toast, excellent....Bacon we ordered crispy and they killed it... hard and can use for bacon bits.. tasted dry and premade, not edible....Got raisin toast and they over toasted it hard... Coffee was great.... Went early in the morning.. this restaurant has great potential, but they have to get their cooks to do better especially if they want to be well-known in the neighborhood. We'll go back but we'll be a little while before we do although I do repeat don't get the steak anything... read more

Came across North cafe while looking for a good place to enjoy a nice birthday breakfast just me and the wife. So glad we decided to come here. Food was amazing and the service was also pretty attentive of us and making sure we were taking care of. I order the chicken and gravy skillet that was amazing and my wife the barbacoa skillet that I'm definitely getting next time we come. Definitely give it a try if you're looking for a nice breakfast restaurant. read more

Went here on a Sunday for breakfast around 10am. They were very busy but there is a church around the corner that must have just let out. We had to wait about 5-10 mins for a table for 3. There is a parking lot there and street parking around the area as well. The servers definitely were hustling covering a lot of tables. Server took our order right away and we didn't see her again until they brought our food. She did come by once to refill water but other than that it was not very attentive. The food itself was good. I enjoyed my chicken and biscuits which came with 2 eggs and hashbrowns. The other two people I was with also enjoyed their meal. Portion sizes were generous and we all left feeling very full. read more

We were looking for a breakfast place here in Chicago and found this place. There was a line when we got there but the hostess was super sweet and put our name down immediately. The wait wasn't long and the turn around was quick. And the food was definitely worth the wait, our server was very attentive and nice as well. Her name was Ana. The restaurant itself was big and looked very clean. I would definitely come back and recommend this place! read more

This has become my new favorite brunch spot. I've tried the garden skillet and barbacoa chilaquiles, and both are flavorful and delicious with fresh ingredients. They also come with a side of fluffy and yummy pancakes, and I recently tried subbing the pancakes for specialty ones--the Nutella and pistachio. The coffee and smoothies are good too, and we have had great service every time we've gone, with two different servers. I hope they keep up with the quality of food and service, and then we'll keep coming back! read more

Charming place with the much anticipated opening of this place. This bright cafe with is pretty big with both booths and tables serving both classic and unique food that all can love. The space itself is very modern and updated since it's new. Our meal was far from perfect with would have boasted this review maybe to five stars but all new places take time to work out the kinks. We were seated immediately no reservations, very casual breakfast and lunch spot. The food quality is excellent. I had the corned beef and hash and they make it in house. The upgraded to a signature option for the pancakes and got the cinnamon roll and it was divine the hubs got a bacon and avocado omelette with regular pancakes. My husband's pancakes came out cold which bummed him out. Another issue we had was getting the server to come to us after our food was delivered because we were lacking syrup, ketchup, hot sauces (maybe just keep it on the table). It took her nine minutes from the time our food was dropped to come over to us. Also the silverware only comes with a knife and fork but no spoon to stir the coffee. We got to meet the wonderful Al and he made things right and we intend to try this place again soon and hopefully things will go much smoother next time. read more

Their food was very delicious and they always put their best effort in to their food. Their service was excellent and they were very kind.

I'm pretty sure 5800 North Cafe opened earlier this spring, I know it's definitely newer, newish to the neighborhood. Saturdays are our day for a brunch adventure, and we took the opportunity to see what they're all about. There is plenty of street parking and the building is large and on the corner of the block. I'm unsure if there's a private parking lot, but we found street parking easily. Walking in, the cafe is bright, well lit with natural light, bright colors, and clean modern design and decoration. The hostess was so kind and friendly, and we were sat immediately. The dining room is very large, there are plenty of both booths and tables, across two sections of dining room, as well as a bar in the back. Our server was Kathy and we were helped quickly after being seated. Like many other fast-paced breakfast diners, water was also brought to the table upon being seated. I want to emphasize how genuine and kind Kathy was through breakfast. She had a quick funny story that got us laughing, and service was amazing throughout our meal. The menu is expansive with tons of breakfast and lunch options. We are benedict lovers and gravitated towards that section of the menu. My partner had the Traditional Bennie, which comes with a huge slice of ham off the bone, eggs, and homemade hollandaise. I had the Irish Bennie, which comes with corned beef hash under the poached eggs and hollandaise. Both came with hashbrowns. Food came out quickly and looked amazing. These portion sizes are huge and absolutely felt more than adequate for the price. I will say this is not my favorite corned beef hash in town, BUT is one of the best benedict options locally by far. The hollandaise is so rich and vibrant, and the eggs were textbook perfect. The hashbrowns also one of the best around, they are thin and fried on a flattop for crispy brown edges. Neither of us could quite finish our plates, and we left so full and happy. I'm highly interested in the skillets and the pancakes, and this will definitely be a place we add to our rotation of favorites for breakfast. I hope this spot stays successful. Thank you 5800 North Cafe for a great Saturday morning. read more

Best breakfast & lunch cafe! Food is delicious, perfectly prepared every time, owner Al and entire staff are wonderful and very welcoming.

We've been wanting to try this place for awhile. We finally had the time and are happy we did! We had to wait about 10 minutes for a table because it was super busy. Once seated we got our water right away. Our waitress signaled to us that she'd be right over. It was over 5 minutes before she came to the table. We ordered right away. It was probably another 20-25 minutes before our food came. Our food did not disappoint. I had the veggie omelette and it had fresh veggies and was very good! My husband ordered the meat lovers skillet and the portions were so large he couldn't finish- which doesn't happen often. One thing disappointing is that he had toast that came with the skillet. Our waitress said she would get it, however she forgot. He was done eating before she came back to our table and when we reminded her she apologized and went to get the toast. Overall good food and I'll definitely give it another try! read more

I came to this cafe for breakfast with my boyfriend. It was our first time going and I loved the interior! It was such a perfect place for a rainy day. I ordered a strawberry smoothie, which our waitress Sandy said was delicious. She definitely did not lie! I would return just to drink it again. Our French toast and sides were great as well. The service was phenomenal, I will definitely come back. Shout out to our waitress Sandy! read more

We came on a Saturday morning around 10am. There was no wait and we were sat immediately. Our server, Jennifer I believe her name was, was very warm, kind, and attentive. I ordered the Breakfast Panini and it was delicious. I would welcome some greens added to it though! The only downside was that is was a bit messy to eat since it was loaded with so much deliciousness. My husband ordered the Steak & Eggs and was delighted that it wasn't the thin kind of steak that is typically served in this dish. My kids ordered the 1 egg meal (kid's menu) and the Cinnamon Roll pancake (regular menu). They both left full and happy (not too common of an experience for us haha). We all really enjoyed our food AND the freshly squeezed OJ was incredible. Aside from the food and service being outstanding, the vibe was also impeccable! It's very bright and cheery without being overwhelming. It's just also very clean and crisp. Me and my 10 year old daughter spent a good 5 minutes discussing how clean the bathroom was and how "it doesn't feel like a public restroom." You can tell there is a lot of heart behind this place. Highly recommend! read more

Came in last Saturday with a party of 8 for a birthday brunch for my son. Service was amazing and they even gave my son a birthday treat! Portions were huge and we had plenty of delicious leftovers. Convenient parking lot and making a reservation was easy. I had the fried chicken and biscuits which was very good. Pancakes were a hit too. The rest of my party ordered omelettes, skillets, sandwiches, and everyone raved about their food. read more

Busy busy place. Seated in about 10 mins. Restaurant itself is super cute and clean and bright. Music is great. Servers are friendly. Shoutout to Julian for being such a great server. Plenty of food to choose from and all food that was ordered were delicious. I was able to sub my pancakes for a specialty pancake for an additional charge. Overall, price for three people for food and drinks was pretty standard compared to other brunch places. Would come back. read more

Food, service and ambience were all fantastic! The prices were great too! A group of 7 of us went here after my son's graduation. It was the first time for all of us. Our waiter was one of the best waiters we've had in a LONG time. All of our food was delicious. My older son had the cinnamon roll pancakes and he was extremely happy with them. My younger son had the chicken and waffles and said it was delicious. 2 people at our table got the corned beef hash skillet and couldn't believe how much food there was. I had the veggie omelette which was really good. Total bill for 7 people without tip was around $145 and we all had to go containers. Highly recommend and definitely will go back. read more

Very new place, and is so clean. I've read the reviews that talked about bad service and cold food. Fortunately, we didn't have that. Granted; we were one of only 4 tables occupied. 5 in our group, all ordered different things. Coffee was good, not great, but good. Food was delicious. I ordered a lox plate. Bagel was good, as was the lox, capers and veggies. Had green onions, as opposed to red onion. Actually, it wasn't a terrible thing. Just different. One Son ordered a skillet, it looked interesting. He said it was excellent. All in all, it was a good visit. I recommend giving them a try. read more

There haven't been many standouts in this neighborhood for a long time. Let's be real -- Jeff Park's food scene has been slow to evolve. But this new restaurant? A much-needed game-changer. Born and raised here, I've seen this area go through its ups and downs, but it's rare to find a place that feels elevated and still keeps that local charm. The food was excellent -- cooked to perfection, seasoned right, and clearly made with care. If I could offer one small tweak, it'd be to roast the jalapeños (or even swap in poblanos) for a smoother flavor and texture. And personally, I'd use Oaxaca instead of cheddar -- but that's just my chef brain talking. The coffee? Top-tier. Smooth, bold, and made right. And they have oat milk -- which shouldn't be a big deal, but for this side of the city, it absolutely is. I'm thrilled to finally have a spot near home where I can skip Starbucks and enjoy a proper latte. The space itself is beautiful -- modern yet comfortable, thoughtfully designed, and filled with great energy. The host was warm and welcoming, and our server, Sandi (with two E's!), was fantastic -- funny, attentive, and clearly proud to work there. She even showed me their espresso machine that was literally flown in from Italy. 10/10 across the board. Jefferson Park finally has a restaurant worth bragging about -- and I'll be back, often. read more

This place is right by where I live, and I honestly don't know how I overlooked it for so long! It actually opened just a few months ago, but somehow I missed it until recently. I went last weekend with a friend for brunch, When we walked in, there was a bit of a wait about 15 minutes which I didn't expect at all. I ordered the Lox Benedict, and it was absolutely delicious with fresh lox, and the flavors were spot on. I also tried the berry crêpes, and wow... the portion was huge and they were packed with flavor. Sweet, fresh, and not overly heavy. My friend got one of the skillets and she loved it. Service was good but I do think there is room for improvement. The owner did come by to check in on us, which I really appreciated. They also have their own parking, which is a huge plus. Overall, it's a hidden gem in the neighborhood and I'm really glad I finally tried it. Good luck read more

5800 North Cafe is the best breakfast place I've been to on the northwest side of Chicago. Pancakes and waffles have their own unique, flavorful taste and they give alot of food so you can take some home. Service is always friendly and efficient. Parking is plentiful in the lot a half block away and the restaurant always has great vibes. The owner is the one who usually meets us at the door and seats us. You will never be disappointed! read more

Visiting Chicago and was in search of breakfast. Soo happy we decided to eat here. Just like the reviews said the ambiance was very nice. We were greeted quickly and then seated. Our server came very soon after we were seated. We ordered the Two Eggs Any Style and the Garden Skillet. We didn't wait long for the food to come out and when it did, it was hot. I feel like we got a good amount of food for the price point. It was also prepared very well and delicious! The pancakes were also very good. Would totally recommend and if I'm ever back in the area, will revisit. read more
