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.

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.

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.

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!)

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 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)

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.

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

Coffee, Tea and Fruit Juice Menu
Deeba A.

The food was delicious as always. Service absolutely great and attentive. Ambiance still whimsical with the farm animals and holiday decorations! We enjoyed our visit this time with dear friends we work on projects in the city with. Planning for a prosperous and plentiful New Year! Stop by and Enjoy your own experience!

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!

It's been a couple of years since my last review, but I promised I'd come back with an update--so here it is! A friend of mine, knowing how much I love brunch, saw Breakfast House and wanted to treat me. So, I found myself back at a spot I reviewed quite a while ago. It was a mild Saturday morning, and Breakfast House was already busy, with seating both inside and outside. I love how they maintain that cozy, at-home vibe, even on the outdoor patio, which is complemented by flowers near the tables. Despite the crowd, we were seated right away. I looked back at my previous review to see if my concerns had been addressed. Last time, I had the chicken and waffles but felt they could use more seasoning. I was hesitant to order it again, but as they say, "closed mouths don't get fed." This time, I asked for a bit more seasoning on the chicken and requested they make it as flavorful as if they were cooking at home. I'm happy to say, the chicken and waffles were exquisite this time around. I also had an egg and a side of breakfast potatoes, while my friend enjoyed a delicious vegetarian dish. Everything was washed down with some coffee. I'm so glad I got the chance to revisit Breakfast House, and with the improvements made to the chicken, it's now one of my top five chicken and waffle spots in the city. Based on this new experience, I'm giving Breakfast House a solid 4.5 out of 5.

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 decor is classic and cozy, and the coffee is genuinely excellent. I also love doing work here with their community tables. I usually don't like my lattes too sweet, but they nail the balance and flavor combinations every time. It is a bit sweet overall, but I'm not bothered by it? They really balance the flavor combinations really well, especially with the ghostly trio! Despite how busy it gets, the service is surprisingly quick, and somehow every drink still comes out consistently great. I honestly don't know how they manage it.

Cozy and huge coffee shop! They have my beloved oat milk for lattes. And tons of donuts, cakes,…read morecroissants, cheesecakes and also custard and pies! And cookies and danishes and muffins. Oh my! The pies kind of look like homemade individual sized pizza pockets with either spinach, chicken, veggie or zatar. They're on the bottom shelf in the picture. All kinds of pastries from savory to sweet. I was eyeing the chicken pie for a future visit during lunchtime. If you want to work on your laptop, the free WIFI is good and there are charge cord plugs all along the wall. I like how spacious and bright it is inside, not to mention the high ceilings. When I get cabin fever it's nice to "escape" to a clean and friendly location like this.

Qamaria is quite literally tucked away in Albany Park so I was shocked to see the ginormous space…read morewhen I entered. There's seating for probably 50 people, if not more, and it's open till midnight most days. This is the perfect 'third space' for anyone looking to catch up with friends or looking for a new work/study area. I loved the iced mufawar because it's a perfect blend of spices like cardamon and it gives me a caffeine high. There's an assortment of sweets and a few savory items like croissants. A shared parking lot in front is a major plus, but it's also steps away from the Brown Line making it super convenient. Definitely a great place to get some work done.
