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

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

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

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

We absolutely love our new breakfast spot! They truly have something for everyone . We've been regulars since they opened and have enjoyed many of their delicious menu items. My personal favorite is their flavorful breakfast skillet , among many other tempting options. The service is excellent--fast, hot, and fresh even during busy times. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and perfect for families. The entire staff is friendly, hardworking, and makes us feel right at home. We genuinely adore everyone here! read more

The ambience is so warm and inviting. The service was great. Waitress was very attentive I got the veggie omelet and added sausage. Loved the combination, it was very good. It was a huge omelet!!! The avocado slices were a nice add on. It was very and tasty. The side of fruit was plentiful and fresh. Overall a nice neighborhood breakfast spot. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We highly recommend this place. This was our first time here and it won't be the last. Went on Sunday and the place was packed. We had our doubts but were happy we stayed. We were seated within 5 minutes, waitress, who was great, came right away and food was served within 10 minutes. I was impressed. I had the veggie skillet & my husband had the meat lovers skillet. Both were excellent. Huge portions. He had pancakes with his and they were delicious. Prices are reasonable. Comparable to others and definitely not overpriced. The place is very clean and has a nice ambiance to it. I love the fact that it's family owned and not a chain. We are all for supporting small businesses. The owner walks around and asks if everything is okay which is unheard of nowadays. Everyone hustles, especially the bus men cleaning up the tables. There is a parking lot not far down the street. Honestly no complaints. I'm not one to write reviews but I had to for this place. It's a must and deserves 10 stars. read more

Brunch is my favorite meal, and my mexicana omelette didn't disappoint. I enjoyed the side of pancakes as the side- fluffy and moist. They have a good kids menu as well, great portions for kids under 12. My kids got the kids scrambled egg / sausage / and pancakes. I also really liked the design and layout of the restaurant - well thought out and comfortable . The server was helpful and kind , it seemed like the manager was caring as well as he checked on our table twice . It's my new favorite brunch spot. read more

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

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

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

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

I dropped by with my family to enjoy a meal here. Love that it's in the neighborhood within walking distance. We were able to go in person and make a reservation. The waitress and staff were amazing even with our large group and big order. I had a strawberry/banana smoothie and it was delicious. I also ordered the Chicken & Bacon Waffles, on the menu it states it comes with jalapeños but I was able to not add it. I'm not a fan of the flavor of jalapeños but I do enjoy the heat. It may be my fault for not adding the peppers but I was hoping for more of a kick from the hot honey sauce. It was pretty tame. The chicken was cooked perfectly, fried nicely, where it was still crispy and juicy. The atmosphere was very pleasant as well. The decor, lighting and music was bright and earthy. I recommend checking this out. I will be back to try more items! read more

The food was so delicious and the staff was friendly. Really big portions and gluten free options. Would definitely go back!

We've been here for breakfast twice and were pleased with the great food, quick and friendly service, and overall welcoming atmosphere. During the first visit, the overhead music was too loud, forcing us to raise our voices as if we were at a nightclub. That's really annoying when you just want some breakfast and relaxed conversation early in the morning. However, the music was at a normal level during our second visit, so maybe somebody complained. With that one suggestion in mind, I highly recommend this restaurant. It's a nice addition to the neighborhood. read more

I've been to this café a few times now, and every visit just makes me love it more! I've tried the Breakfast Panini, Florence Benedict, North Café Special Salad with fresh shrimp, Berry Mascarpone Crepes, Banana Coconut Cream Crepes, fresh orange juice, latte, and regular coffee--everything has been absolutely delicious with no complaints at all. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Portions are generous without being overwhelming, and you can really taste the quality in every bite. On top of that, the service is excellent. My waitress, Sandee, was so attentive and thoughtful--she even separated my salad to-go, which I really appreciated. Between the warm service, great atmosphere, and consistently amazing food, this place has quickly become one of my favorites. Highly recommend! read more

Wow! The service, atmosphere, and of course the food were excellent! Definitely a keeper -- they should expect us to come again and again. I believe our server was Julian, and he was incredibly friendly and professional. He even took the time to introduce his favorite dishes. We tried the Barbacoa chilaquiles and the Eggs Benedict. The Barbacoa was tender, perfectly seasoned shredded beef, and the Eggs Benedict had great flavor with nicely sliced ham. I also had a matcha latte made with authentic matcha powder whisked to perfection. Loved every aspect of our visit. Thank you, and good luck! read more

First time visiting this new cafe. It's a really nice place, pretty large location with its own parking located in the previous closed grocery store. There is also street parking.
