Went to Brunch Cafe for a family celebration breakfast. Total of 8 in the party. I made reservations the night beforehand with ease. Our table was ready when we arrived. The waitress started taking our beverage orders the minute we sat down. She waited a reasonable amount of time to come back for our food order. Food came out quickly and correctly!! She was excellent in serving us never felt rushed even though the restaurant was packed. Very reasonably priced for a large party. The food at Brunch Cafe is always great! Good size portions and soup is always on!! read more

I have eaten here twice and this is a popular breakfast/lunch spot. my wife has ordered breakfasty type food - omelets, skillets etc. while I usually go with the turkey clubs, which is my all time favorite. I like the turkey clubs here but they use deli turkey which is okay but, to be honest, a letdown compared to a 'real' turkey club that uses turkey breast. My last one had a little too much mayo... I like the fact you get quite a few choices for sides that come with your order. I usually get a side salad which has always been very good and a nice respite from the typical fries you get with a sandwich. Service here is always very good and the prices are in line with other places in the area. I would definitely come back and next time I will check out more of the breakfast side of the menu. read more

Two of us went to Brunch Cafe for a late breakfast. It had been a while since we went there so we were looking forward to our visit. 10 AM on a Friday morning is a great time to go - there were plenty of open seats and we were greeting and seated right away. Our server was attentive and we placed an order almost right after sitting down. My guest had eggs benedict and I had the avocado toast. The benedict looked great and was told it tasked wonderful. The avocado toast was also very good. Their portions are very large and a good value for the money. Even with open seats, it is loud in the restaurant. There doesn't appear to be any sound baffling so the voices echo. It can he hard to talk since they noise can be loud. Other than that, the visit was very nice. I don't usually comment on rest rooms, but had the opportunity to use it while there. The men's room was bright and clean. The big issue here is parking. There are not that many spots in front of the restaurant and they fill quickly - not just for Bruch Cafe customers, but for other stores in the plaza. It's very difficult to find a close spot, especially when your companion uses a walker. Before going, know the experience will be good, but it may be frustration trying to park. read more

I love their food. I go here usually 3 times a month. They have a choice of fresh teas. Thso helpful in whatever you need. It's bright and cheery inside. read more

I went here twice recently, my first time at this particular location of Brunch Cafe. I've enjoyed the other locations for many years. 2/5 stars: Stuffed French toast - was hard and dry, not good at all! The bread tasted old and stale, the egg batter was not at all seeped through so it was just stale bread. Not good! The inside strawberry filling was good but it didn't really matter when the French toast itself was so dry. It was hard to even cut though with a knife. I've gotten this at their other location before and it was so much better, so this was definitely a bad batch. 5/5 stars: French toast trio - one lemon, one red velvet and one carrot cake. Instead of actual French toast they are literally slices of cake with each of those flavors. Absolutely delicious ! So now I'm torn because I had one bad experience and one good one. Is this location inconsistent? read more

Went to Brunch Cafe to celebrate 3 different birthdays for the month of August. It's a tradition to celebrate all 3 at the same time. When we walked in it was really packed but since we had reservations, we were seated immediately. 16 of us! The server was great and was very friendly. I ordered a veggie omelette, wrapped in golden hash-browns, which cost a little extra to do but I misunderstood that if I picked this option, I would not get a side of hash-browns. The server said confirmed but a few minutes later, she brought out a side which was nice. The omelette was cooked nicely and was not overcooked. It was filled with various veggies and was cheesy. I'd order again but skip the hash-browns wrap. The place was filled with various families and was a great atmosphere. Families enjoying food and conversation. Including ours!!! Great times and a highly recommended place to eat breakfast. read more

Good luck if you order to go orders. It's a 50/50 chance they get it right.. we've ordered from them frequently and there's always something wrong. As recently as today. So sooooo annoying sine it was on two meals and two sides. How freaking hard can that be. read more

I love this place! Been going to brunch cafe for over 25 years when it started in FRG. They have the best omelets and scramblers, my favorite is the south beach. The portions are generous and price is comparable to other breakfast/lunch places. The service is always fantastic. It's my go to for getting breakfast or lunch with friends or family. Highly recommend!! read more

Great service, delicious food, lively atmosphere and a very extensive and well thought out menu make this a sure bet for breakfast, brunch or lunch. They are pretty flexible in general with regards to bringing it pancakes that are a dud as a dessert etc on weekdays, yet on weekends they can't take as many special requests otherwise they back up the kitchen and make customers wait too long. Smart! The chilaquiles with green chile and pork were tasty yet needed a little more oomph in flavor. The pork was tender. My chorizo omelet was very tasty and not at all greasy - almost as if they had cooked the chorizo, drained it and patted it dry before making the omelette. Literally it could have used a little more fat! We would return without question. read more

I not recommend the server have bad actitud w/ the costumers y have rarely bad expirence

Great ambiance and food is good. It's basic brunch items. Friendly staff. They have fresh squeezed juices and food tastes fresh.

The food was beautiful and tasty overall. I had the bacon, eggs, hash browns and pancakes. The service was quick, but my bill did get put on someone else's check by accident. The restaurant itself was beautiful and very nicely set up. It was a very nice brunch and a fun time with friends. read more

What a delicious addition to the Arlington Heights area. Brunch Cafe improves upon the previous decor by replacing the lighting side the dining rooms so that it feels new and energetic. Just when I thought that this spot couldn't get any busier, parking is even harder to find here on weekend mornings and for good reason. Brunch Cafe brings lots of exciting breakfast creations that mix the classics with some elevated versions of favorites which is sure to please everyone in the party with their extensive menu. The prices are also quite reasonable as well, despite the more complex combinations that are available. Like other Brunch Cafe locations I've been to, there is definitely a focus on using more fresh ingredients, having attractive presentation, and keeping with good textures throughout. The pancakes here are fluffy and a good size, with specialty pancakes like the carrot cake being a bit more healthy with a multigrain batter but topped with fresh carrots and pecans that make it feel more luxurious. The skillets here are also solid, with crispy potatoes, good layering between different elements, and care taken to prepare each ingredient well. I'm also a fan of the care taken to choose fresh produce as items such as the apples and berries are nice, fresh, and juicy. Overall, worth a visit if you're a brunch lover in the area. The selection is good, prices are good, the food preparation is consistently excellent, and the dining area is fairly large so you'll likely be seated quick even when they're busy. With such a large menu, you'll need quite a bit of visits to try everything they offer! read more

The first thing I want to say about Brunch Cafe is they always have an excellent staff. I am continually impressed by their fast service, friendly nature, and how many times they stop by to refill coffee. I ordered the avocado toast and appreciated the different options available for the side dish. Today I picked the hash browns. The food tasted great and the portions were generous. The ambiance is decent - very clean, but I feel it's a bit sterile looking. Prices are good. read more

I went here to meet up with some of my family members who had gathered to have brunch. I had been to the Brunch Cafe in Kildeer but not this location before. I had prior lunch plans, so I was not planning to have a brunch meal here. I ordered a side salad with chipotle ranch dressing and a mocha cappuccino. While my order was being prepped, I tried their mimosa and had some bacon from others at my table. The mimosa was tasty but was a bit on the tart side. The fresh orange juice in the mimosa was more to my liking than the mix of the juice and the alcohol. The bacon was cooked to perfection. My side salad had freshly chopped lettuce, cucumber, onion, and tomato. The dressing came in the side. The salad did its job. I liked it. The mocha cappuccino served as a dessert for me after my salad. The restaurant was clean and well lit. It was inviting. The service was good. I would recommend checking out this establishment if you haven't been here before. read more

One of the stranger waffles ive eaten. Ill admit i was taken in by the photo on the google maps page of a waffle with strawberries and a drizzle of chocolate. I quite like a dessert type waffle for brunch. Unfortunately it was not listed on the menu when i got there. I decided to try the "stuffed waffle", which i didnt really know anything about but, i like strawberries and bananas and whipped cream so it must be alright, right? The stuffed waffle is cut in half with fruit and "strawberry cream" in the middle. For some reason, even though this is called a stuffed waffle, i honestly didnt expect it to be cut like that. Maybe cut in half and stacked like a sandwich, but not through the middle. I did expect something called strawberry cream. I did not expect it to be pepto bismol pink and extremely sweet, and thick like condensed milk or cool whip. They gave me syrup and i didnt use any of it because it was just so sweet. Because they put it in the middle of the waffle the cream and fruit were unpleasantly warm. I think of fruit and cream as a cool and refreshing part of the dessert waffle, not warm. The waffle, which usually has a crispy outside and soft interior, ended up evenly moist and soggy. And the color. Do i believe strawberries could make cream that color? Maybe. Do i believe they did here? No, the uniformity looks like food coloring. Do i believe they should have done this? No, this is a very unappetizing color overall, unsettlingly like raw meat. The taste itself was like 4/5, it was pretty good minus the overly sweet cream. But i was disappointed in the overall waffle eating experience, the soggy waffle, the warm fruit (and the strawberry that was unpleasantly brown- im usually fine with odd looking fruit but strawberries dont normally look like that right??) My partner got a burger. It came with lettuce and tomatoes, which wasnt listed on the menu. The lettuce was fine but my partner does not like tomatoes. They said they wished the menu had clearer options for add ons to a burger, like whether they could get the grilled onions on the normal burger instead of the one with hot sauce. The only add on to a normal burger was bacon or cheese i think. Service and ambiance was fine overall. Just a weird waffle eating experience. read more

Very spacious. Good for large groups. Food is great. Service great. Can't complain one bit!

Spacious restaurant with an outdoor patio. Our server was nice and friendly. She was attentive and professional. I got the vanilla latte and the salmon Benedict. The latte was okay. I did find it overly sweet. The salmon Benedict was not too bad, kinda plain. I would have like it with some onions and tomatoes to balance out the salty capers. The pancakes were pretty good. It was nice and fluffy. Overall, I would go back and try something else . read more

ordered for pick-up this time and got the brunch chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. my husband got the breakfast sliders. i was very disappointed with my choice. there was very little avocado and only 3 small slices of apple in the whole sandwich. the fries were undercooked - lot of crunchy pieces. also there were a few fries that tasted like cleaning solution so I had to spit those out. my husband enjoyed his sliders though. i think this will be my last time ordering. read more

Do not even consider this place for Mother's Day! I did it because it's what my mom wanted. The staff and general manager were frantic the day before in anticipation. I asked to put in an order the day before or the morning of (like Walker Brother's does) and they said no. Ordered at 9 for a 10:30 pick up. Called at 10:15, they didn't see the order until then because online releases then (my mistake). They could not give an estimate as to how long it would take because they were so backed up. Arrived at 11 and they still couldn't tell me when to check back. There are so many ways to manage crowds and they don't even seem to think it's something they should consider, apparently. Your only bet is to keep walking in and bothering them while they are busy to see if your order is done yet. For the life of me, I can't figure out why they don't have a plan for days like this. I did know better so that's on me. Also, I can't tell you how it ended up. Still waiting! read more

Brunch Cafe is the latest restaurant to occupy this space. There have been at least four restaurants here since I've lived in Arlington Heights. All of these restaurants have been very good, and Brunch Cafe is no different. I ordered the cinnamon swirl pancakes. The swirl came from the pan it was cooked in, not the cinnamon or icing. I was disappointed that the pancakes weren't sweeter or had more icing. The cinnamon was baked into the batter. The pancakes were dry but could have been solved if I had asked for more syrup. I came with my sister, brother in law, and my mother, and they all enjoyed their dishes. Overall, it's not a bad breakfast and lunch place. read more
