FRESH FRUIT PARFAIT
Kevin J.

Stopped in at noon on a Saturday in August and was sat right away for a table of two. Both indoor and outdoor seating was available. Food was excellent. Way better than expected from a low key environment. We would highly recommend coming for a great, easy brunch on the weekends. Meals ran around $15 each.

Crispy chicken wrap
Mike L.

Perfect breakfast and lunch spot in West Town! Super friendly staff and the food is amazing in this cozy spot. They have a very large menu with all the breakfast favorites as well as long list of lunch items! The place is small but does not feel overcrowded. Come for the food stay for the hospitality! Pro Tip: order a single pancake on the side to try them, so good!

HUEVOS RANCHEROS
karina k.

The huevos rancheros was good...just wish for $13.50 plus tax and total $14.96 I got a side like hash browns or potato's or something on the side. Otherwise the food is good and not salty and seasoned just right. Street parking only on a busy street. Free unless it's M-F 4-6pm. See sign. And the food was ready for pickup in 10-15 min as promised.

CHALLAH LEMON FRENCH TOAST
Larry H.

Amazing breakfast food! Every time! Love the Intelligencia Coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice.

OMELET
Andre W.

I have often heard good things about Breakfast House and have been wanting to try for some time. I just now realized there are multiple locations as I came on Yelp to write this review. My first experience was via Door Dash order in which I've done twice. I first ordered the Croissant Sandwich which was really good! It includes virginia ham, white cheddar and scrambled eggs on a grilled croissant along with a side of roasted potatoes. Its a nice size as well...like shareable! I also ordered the egg white omelet in which it was ok...also came with the side of potatoes and could be shared. I actually came by to check out the actual restaurant and its your normal everyday diner. Staff is very nice and gives menu tips if asked. I got the Breakfast House Hash and was very excited about it. Unfortunately it lacked the flavor I thought it would have. The dish includes two poached eggs atop a mix of chicken sausage, andouille sausage, roasted potatoes, onions, and red peppers. I had to douse in hot sauce and it helped but still didn't really do it for me. Big enough to be shared. I would come back and try again but would definitely bring someone as portion sizes are very big.

Breakfast was phenomenal... the Eggplant soup is a must try! 10 out of 10.
Edgar R.

Food is amazing and service aswell. The Eggplant soup is the best a must try. Came in for breakfast and will be back to try lunch thats for sure.... Give it a 10 out of 10.

Cornmeal cakes with scrambled eggs and fresh fruit.
Americo G.

First time visit. I was intrigued by the Cornmeal Cakes on the menu. The place was packed, but I was able to sit at the counter. Service, food, coffee and vibe was great. I will be back.

BREAKFAST BURRITO
Kenna G.

Solid breakfast spent at Breakfast House. We went around 9:15 on a Sunday and got a table immediately. Friendly staff. Fresh squeezed OJ: 5/5 Breakfast Burrito: 4.5/5 (the sauce on it is delicious, but I would suggest getting it on the side so it's not so hard to eat!) Pancakes: 3/5 (just very average)

CHORIZO HASH
Josilyn B.

The Breakfast house is a quaint little place on the corner of W Grand and N Wood. The meal I had was delicious. The service was prompt and everyone is very pleasant and kind. I recommend this place to everyone.

TWO EGGS AND MEAT
Sharonda D.

I'm BACK! Here for another conference had to stop in in-person. It was amazing as I expected it to be. The service was fast and hospitable. The location was situated nicely and very clean and fresh. The food was again a 10/10. I brought my son and he left no crumbs on his huge Nutella waffle plate. You guys are amazing.

L S.

Sour cream pancakes are out of this world! I don't like fluffy cake-like buttermilk pancakes so I'm always on the hunt for something more like sourdough pancakes. The sour cream pancakes here are thin like crepes, super soft and mine were served piping hot! I got a side of bacon also. The berry compote served with the pancakes is good but I didn't finish mine as the taste of the pancakes reigned supreme! Ambiance of restaurant is great and service was quick and friendly. Sorry the photo shows them half eaten but I wanted to demonstrate the thinness of the pancakes. Again, these are more like crepes than fluffy buttermilk pancakes (which are gross anyway!)

Hash
Ivan M.

Amazing service and the food was great. One of the best pancakes I've ever had which says a lot since I have had many different pancakes from Chicago. The hash was delicious but a bit heavy on the sodium. Overall great food and will definitely be back

Supreme Chorizo Hash, Side Buttermilk Pancake w/ Blueberries
Crystal D.

While looking for a good breakfast while staying in the area, we stumbled across the breakfast house. We were worried about the wait but when we walked in we were able to sit in a couple of minutes! I would say plan accordingly because the line was looong when we left. The food here was amazing! I enjoyed the Supreme Chorizo Hash, that had literally all of the flavors and included guacamole (I love). With this meal you get the option to have toast or their fluffy buttermilk pancake. You know I already had my eyes on a side of pancakes so this combination gave me the best of both worlds. And I was able to add my favorite addition, blueberries! Not only on top as pictured but in the batter as well. Highly recommend it all!

Would we be able to bring in our own champagne on a Friday or is that option only available on Saturday/Sunday?…

As long as they are open, it is BYOB all the time. We have brought liquor and we have brought champagne. Enjoy!

Do they have mimosas?

They do BYOB, hope that helps.

Do they have parking?

Unfortunately it is a neighborhood spot, so you will have to find street parking. Right on Grand isn't too bad either East or West of the intersection. You can even try one block South, mostly business/warehouse.

The line was out the door. To get in, walk up the stairs (there's also a menu posted), then order at the register. You'll then pay and pick up your drink when it's called. Drinks are made pretty quickly; the service was kind, and they also have pastries on display. Seating-wise, they have some bar seating. But what gets you is the ambiance; it's rustic and chic! I'm all about trying either a basic or specialty matcha. I got a Matcha Latte, Tokyo Style, with Oat Milk. The matcha was good quality, a bit on the milky and creamy side, but the Tokyo style made it sweet. It was a good pick-me-up, but for the price, it was a bit expensive. I tried my friend's seasonal Hojicha Spiced Pumpkin Latte, and it was strong and good. If you're into matcha or coffee, Sawada Coffee in West Loop is a popular spot. Find them off N Green Street, close to public transportation. Happy me and Irene M. could get our matcha fix!

Not sure how Matt managed to get hired here, so I assume being rude is part of their training…read more After hearing great things about their coffee and being in town for a trip, I payed Wormhole a visit. I ordered 5 coffees one morning, and all the register guy did was write a few names on some cups and placed it down. I understand tipping culture is a divided topic of discussion, but at the end of the day, it is OPTIONAL. After pressing the skip button from what I believe to be non-tip worthy service, he threw a fit and said "Wow you're serious? After I did all that?" Meanwhile all he did was write names on cups. Now I would understand if he was the barista working hard to pump out the coffees, but two lovely ladies were in the back doing that. He shooed me and my friend out of line as we were still processing what he just said. The next customer orders and he had the audacity to talk about us to them while we're 5 feet away. Delusional as he was, he had the nerve to say we were holding up the line and made him do "all that work", and I could promise you, we knew exactly what we wanted to order the second we got up, and took no longer than 45 seconds. We also witnessed he got into it with another customer, so it seems like he's the problem here. Most wild service I have ever received, all for some milky coffees. I ended up tipping the lovely ladies in the back though. Be warned. There are much better spots.

It will get a little loud too if it's crowded, so be sure to listen to your order name or number in order to grab your drink at the delivery counter! Probably my 3rd or 4th time visiting, but the drinks always hit the matcha itch each time I love the Strawberry Matcha Latte since it brings a good level of sweetness from the strawberry puree but also the bitterness from the matcha. The matcha has such a deep flavor that with any of the specialty lattes, you don't lose any of that matcha flavoring to the add-ons. The Mango Matcha Latte is also very good! You get a lighter mango taste (in comparison to having a stronger strawberry taste), and you can still taste the depth of the matcha flavor. Even after the ice melting after time, you can still taste the matcha as if it was not watered down. That's how you know you're getting premium quality matcha. tl;dr If you haven't tried Gathers...you're missing out on some delicious matcha.

I LOVED their menu because they have a good mix of boba, matcha and other decaffeinated drinks. Boba prices are good too, and regular drink is around $5.5 on average. I got mango matcha and I can tell it's a high quality matcha. Even towards the end, the matcha didn't get watered down much (see one of the pictures). The mango didn't taste authentic, but good quality matcha made up for it. Ube monster was also tasty; it has Oreo crumbs on top. The sweetness was just right. Service was fast and there are so many self-check out stations.
