    Great service, they kept ice water pouring and checking on us throughout our meal. Food came out quickly. What an awesome menu with several options! Breakfast burritos are HUGE and come with a side. My special Cajun omelet came with a side and a pancake. Flavors were ON POINT! Nothing bland here. Burrito sauce, crema, and salsa were authentically homemade. We loved the outdoor patio that is pup-friendly and having shade overhead. It was late morning but the sun was already hot and it was nice to have cover with beautiful flower walls next to us.

    VEGAN CHORIZO

    My favorite! Whether dining in or grabbing carry out, this is one of the most consistent, quality breakfast spots in the city. I used to live right next door, so I've been here more times than I can count. The staff are always kind and accommodating. I love that there is indoor or outdoor seating options. I've sat outside even in the rain and the cover was sturdy and kept us dry. The food is fresh and every dish I've ordered has been a hit. The fresh OJ vegan chorizo have nursed me back to health on more than one occasion :)

    It's a nice-looking place, and I found the food could have been better. One of my dishes was good. The person taking our order wasn't as helpful when I asked for a description of the food and stated that everything was good. It's not my type of food, and many seem to like it. I would give the place a try as a first-time experience. It never hurts to find a place that you want to go often for breakfast. I was rather surprised to have a tip starting at 20% and felt that I either needed to tip nothing or a 20% tip.

    This review is specifically for carry out. We woke up on Easter morning and wanted to support a local business and decided to try Breakfast House. We placed the order online and picked up shortly after. The food was prepared quickly and on time. I got the croissant sandwich, with a pancake and a side of bacon because why not. The croissant sandwich was okay, it needed a little something but I definitely got what I ordered. It came with a side of potatoes- it was more small diced potatoes rather than a hash or roasted. The bacon has the option of crispy or well done. We went with crispy and it was great! The pancake was a tad dense but had a cinnamon taste to it. Overall, we had a great experience. I'll have to come by to dine in person (when it's not a holiday)!

    Came here on a Sunday after church with a party of 9 or so and was seated fairly quickly. The wait staff here was so accommodating. The food is delicious. I don't think there was anything that was had amongst the group that wasn't good. I mean you can't go wrong with anything ordered. The eggs were scrambled light and super fluffy. Hands down my favorite of everything was the French toast. That is some of the best French toast I've had.

    Great service. Great food too. I had the eggs Benedict and it was delicious! I also had a horchata. Loved it.

    Quick stop in for breakfast as it is not too far from the O'Hare airport. Great and attentive service! Food is good quality and cooked to your liking. The place is super clean and welcoming. Whenever I may find myself in the Chicago area, this will be my go to spot for breakfast!

    VEGAN hash

    My friend had a LATE night party last night and we needed a BIG breakfast. Breakfast House delivered. While we waited for a table (it's brunch y'all how could you NOT wait,) we sat at the bar. It did take almost 10 minutes to get anyone to come over but the Spicy Bloody Mary was worth the wait! It was really good! I ordered the vegan hash and it was AMAZING. Crispy potatoes, delicious veggies, hot sauce and guacamole! YES!!! And I got a side of toast which was perfect to grab it all up with. Hubs got a vegan beyond burger (yawn!) and a mango frozen margarita. I'm not a sweet Rita drinker or a frozen drink person so I didn't have any of what he had. My hash, toast and Bloodys were all I needed. Thanks for a yum breakfast!

    BREAKFAST BURRITO OMELET
    Crystal C.

    This place definitely has kind employees but skimps on the seasoning with their food. The taste was bland and there was a hole in my wallet that was not even worth it. The building had nice lighting I just wish the food was better.

There are a few…read morethings that I look out for when visiting a new shop (grinders, espresso machine, house-made syrups, ease of ordering/POP layout, seating...etc.). My fiancé and I stopped in as soon as they opened to grab some fuel for our roadtrip out of town. We were greeted as soon as we walked through the door, bright and early at 6:30am. The baristas were super friendly. The atmosphere is nice and bright. Light wood tones and soft colors. Cute merch, too. The baked goods counter looked divine and wanted to purchase everything, but I stuck with a slice of banana bread. SOOOO GOOD. It was fresh, moist, and had the right balance of flavor between the banana and chocolate chips. Sometimes it gets too chocolatey, but the banana flavor was first and foremost. We ordered a drip coffee and a large iced vanilla latte with an extra shot. The drip coffee was fresh and hot with a nice flavor profile. The espresso used in the latte was fresh, bright, and slightly nutty. They have a La Marzocco, and you can usually expect pretty good espresso from those machines. I believe the vanilla was house-made, so bonus points for that. All things that I personally love in a latte! There was also a parking lot, so we didn't have to worry about street parking. We will definitely be back the next time we are in town! 10/10 recommend.

The vibe in here is quaint and bright, with different seating options. Would be a good spot to work from! Due to its convenient location and parking lot, I will definitely visit again!

But the main area still gives a great coffee shop vibe, with outlets for laptops. Also, the service is great! The food was really good, I loved the chocolate croissant. It was melting all over my hand with how much chocolate it offered. The cold brew was great as well, it was a great boost after an outdoor session. I did pull out my laptop to work on stuff, I do suggest either your own internet or if you have xfinity, use the hotspot. Their WiFi is ok for work and such, but due to the business it does slow down a bit, which is an average experience. Overall, 5/5! Great location, great team, great food. Will be back!
