I have been wanting to try this place for while and had the opportunity to do so. It's a cute cafe…read morewith the nicest people and fresh tasty food. I ordered the salmon croissant sandwich and my friend had an egg one. We thought they were both delicious and filling. I'd love to try more options next time. I did notice they don't have a ton of meat options. Service was friendly and I like that you can pay on a portable machine while sitting. Plenty of free street parking.

I recently moved to the area and saw Will's Place while I was out on a walk. Will's Place has easy…read morestreet parking in front of the store front as well as close public parking lots near. The store has a beautiful big window up front and is so bright and clean when you walk in. To the left, there is a retail wall with purchase options, there are many tables in the dining area as well as a counter top on the right wall for additional seating. The counter to order has a small pastry case with a great display of options. There is a window that allows you to see into the kitchen from the dining area as well. I was greeted upon walking in, and there was a menu board on the wall with what I'm guessing are specials (daily or short term, I'm not sure) as well as laminated menus at the counter where you order. The menu has breakfast sandwiches and lunch sandwiches, salads, and great side options. It was explained that as much as possible is made in house (you can even buy house made pickles or pickled onions! to take home!) and there were several options that sounded delicious. I ended up going with a crispy chicken ranch wrap that was offered on the hanging menu board of specials. I got this to go and treated myself to a sprinkle cookie with it. While I was waiting for my food, Brad chatted with me about his love for hockey and he was so kind! My wrap was packed up super nice in a to go box and in a bag so I could easily walk back home to enjoy it. Still warm as I unwrapped it at my house, this wrap was delicious. It has fresh lettuce and tomato, crispy chicken, melty cheese, and ranch sauce (plus ranch on the side!) and a house made pickle spear. This was a perfect lunch and because everything was made fresh, it was actually really light and delicious. The cookie was unshockingly also tasty, I loved the rainbow sprinkles and it was such a fun treat after my meal. I can't wait to be a regular at Will's Place, this is a great little breakfast/brunch/lunch spot in downtown Skokie that is a really bright spot in the community. Thank you, Will's Place! See you soon!

I don't leave reviews often but I genuinely think this is one of Skokie's hidden gems…read more Will's Place is one of my favorite breakfast and lunch spots in the area. The food is always fresh, filling, and the menu changes regularly, which keeps every visit exciting with something new to try. The service is outstanding and everyone is genuinely kind, welcoming, and makes you feel right at home. One of the best parts is the sense of community. You'll often see familiar faces and local residents catching up over breakfast or an early lunch, making it a great place for good food and even better conversation. If you're looking for a friendly neighborhood spot with delicious food and a warm atmosphere, Will's Place is definitely worth a visit.

Came here with hubby and our child on a weekday for brunch. There were a good number of open tables…read morebut some of them weren't cleaned and the first table we chose had a piece of the wall sticking out so we relocated. I had expected more pancake options on the menu since it is a pancake cafe but there are ~4 options available (aside from the standard buttermilk and gluten free ones). I had the California omelet (avocado, mushrooms, tomatoes, pepper jack cheese) with hashbrowns and pancakes. I upgraded to the berry pancakes (blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries) for an upcharge. My child had the pancakes from the kid's menu which came with two small pancakes and a meat of her choice (she chose bacon). Food took some time to come out and we had to ask for water. My omelet was decent but the hashbrowns were overcooked and dry. The berry pancakes were just okay. There was fresh fruit on top but I didn't care for the berry drizzle on top of the pancakes as it tasted artificial. The kid's meal was very plain (I don't know what I expected) and I should have shared my meal with my child since she ended up eating all the berries off my pancakes anyway.

I kicked myself since last night but wanted to take out my mom for Mother's Day lunch…read more We got there and it was crowded, but went to the front desk to get a table (parking lot was full, but had allot of space, btw) - surprisingly, they said give us 5-10 minutes, and yes it won't take long. WOW! To make a long story short, we got seated, our drinks, and orders taken, and after 15 minutes, our food was hot and piping and fresh. And it was tasty - my steak quesadillas and my mom got a house Cobb salad. Both were tasty and looked great. Our server Miriam was awesome with our orders, she came by to check on us and not too many times, and was there to help us with leftovers and leaving stuff. She struck a nice balance of not being there vs being here too often, so that's Ace's in my book. Since it was Mother's Day, it's crowded and a bit loud but not too loud where it was too obnoxious, except for a few people who had no manners at all on dress, but that's another topic I won't go to, for now. Tables, plates and silverware were clean, and one can still get around, even with one table behind us with a handicapped person, it didn't crowd up much at all - it was all very reasonably spacious. Definitely will come back here, though I do miss that older lady who was our server the last time before today, who was very nice - had a bit of an attitude to her personality but not too much to make it tasteless, some sass makes for an interesting day. (Hope you are doing well, ma'am!)

The En Cartagena dish is a true winner. Beautiful and deeply delicious. Stewed black beans with cotija cheese surround fresh gallo pinto on a crispy corn tortilla. Two eggs on top of that.

La Boricua omelet sandwich has ham on it that you will never, ever forget. We can't wait to go back and try the steak mushroom bowl, the Cowboy and a number of other things that caught our eye. This is a great stop before or after the Skokie Farmer's Market, or when you just need a great, low key place to take visitors from out of town or treat yourself to a high quality brunch without driving all the way downtown.

Delicious. It hit the spot. It came with chips and a pickle! I will definitely come back and try the avocado toast as it has everything i love in it. Thanks again!
