    White Mocha Latte
    Alli W.

    We had breakfast here on Thursday morning during our trip and the place was almost empty! Homey and warm place with gorgeous views outside. Staff here were friendly, quick and efficient with their service. White mocha latte - Yum! Perfect balance of sweet and bitter without one overpowering. The drink was super creamy and tasty. Avocado toast - Too much arugula in this but the overall taste was really delicious. We appreciated how they served fruit as a side. Biscuit and gravy with scrambled eggs - Scrambled eggs were bland. Biscuit was more like having a donut - fluffy and soft to eat. It was a satisfying dish to have overall for breakfast.

    Fried Chicken & Biscuits

    We found Eggy's while looking for breakfast places within walking distance to our hotel. The place is very nice and it wasn't too busy on a rainy Sunday morning. Our party of 2 was seated right away and our waitress brought over some water and took our drink orders. I went with the fried chicken and biscuits while my dining partner went with the American skillet. The food came out pretty quickly and it was all solid. I tried the breakfast potatoes first and they were seasoned perfectly and cooked well. They had some bite to them but they weren't hard. They were seasoned pretty simply but they tasted great. The fried chicken was fried very well; the outside was almost crispy while the interior stayed juicy. I love sausage gravy and Eggy's is solid; delicious when slathered over the fried chicken and biscuits. The overeasy eggs on top added even more to the textures and flavors. The biscuits were the lowlight of the meal but they were still decent. One of them was a little overdone so it was super dry while the other was softer. A little inconsistent but they were both tasty. I enjoyed their coffee and my girlfriend seemed to enjoy her matcha latte and American skillet. All-in-all, a solid breakfast spot.

    Went here for a weekday brunch and it was pretty crowded. Service was quick. Menu was huge with large diner menu of pancakes, skillets and many more I got the skillet and soup. I am glad that i found something vegetarian in the menu even though it was egg based. Its a bit more on the pricey side for a diner. Ambiance was bright and service was decent

    We went twice while we were visiting Chicago. The food was good- flavorful and warm. The service was timely and the servers were attentive and nice. It's a bit busy in there and you may end up sitting very close to other people, but I appreciated them trying to reduce wait times.

    good brunch food but not worth the wait to get seated or the wait to get food. on a sunday morning, the wait was obnoxiously long and once we ordered, it also took awhile to receive our food. we ordered a smoothie in addition to our order and the staff forgot about it for so long that we just cancelled the order. in terms of food, it's solid but not anything particularly special. the chicken tortilla soup was delectable and the chorizo eggs benedict was a nice combo. but the panini was pretty normal. the interior has diner vibes, it's very casual.

    Grilled Chicken Sandwich.

    What a great find. Popped in here for lunch and enjoyed it very much. The grilled chicken sandwich had a great spicy sauce. BLT sandwich was good, but should be made with iceberg lettuce, not field greens. My Tortilla soup was great. Excellent French fries. Broad menu of breakfast and typical diner food. Isaac was a great server.

    Obsessed! Eggy's is phenomenal, delicious food, fast service, large portions, and super affordable. Perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. Always hits the spot!

    This place was a hot commodity when we went in, it was a long wait so we sat at the bar for quicker service. I got chicken and waffles, it was just ok. The chicken quality and prep wasn't flavorful or well cooked to me. The waffle was a little hard, but with some butter it was ok. My friend got the French toast, she didn't finish it because the toppings were overwhelming. Potatoes were a little bland. The staff were kind and accommodating.

    I used to be a regular decades ago when I worked nearby at Tower Ambulance and was in and out of Edgewater Hospital. Edgewater was a true community hospital, and Eggy's was a friendly, wonderful hospital cafeteria. The original owner served up comforting breakfast and coffee to hardworking medical workers and distraught patients' family and friends and helped heal our hearts. One of my favorite memories of those younger days was having breakfast at Eggy's. One of my deep regrets at aging is that I cannot eat like that every morning. Some of my favorite dishes are on the menu at this upscale much more expensive 21st Century version, but the decor and location are certainly more posh. Actually compared to the rest of the immediate area, the food is a relatively good deal here. It's perfect if you're staying at the Sofitel or otherwise nearby. Sadly, none of the workers seem to know anything about the original owner even though there's a article about him on the wall (young people don't read I guess).

    Patty Melt

    Went on a Sunday with family after church. The food is delicious and well seasoned. I had the patty melt and sweet potato fries, my sister had the bagel and lox, my brother in law had a crepe with berries, my niece had French toast with Nutella, my nephew had crepes. Everyone cleaned their plate. I also had an espresso martini and my sister had a dragon fruit margarita. I've had better espresso martinis, my sister loved her margarita. The wait staff was very patient and helpful, we had 4 kids under 10. The vibe was family friendly but also many adults having brunch. I'll be back to try more menu items.

    Sunday brunch!!! The restaurant itself was a little difficult to find but once we found it, we hit a jackpot. The restaurant is a cute, trendy spot with fun signs around. All the savory dishes (skillet, black bean burger, veggie panini) were incredible! The fries are shoestring cut, crispy, and very yummy. The chicken and waffles dish was huge. Could be shared if you have a smaller appetite. (It's a whole half of a chicken.) The crepes were just alright. They weren't thin enough and there wasn't enough nutella on it for my liking. The service was very quick and responsive. I will definitely be visiting again!

    Hi? Does anyone know where or what brand is the orange juice they serve im from florida and have not been able to find that sweeten taste and wonderful taste their orange juice had when i visited

    Sorry. I don't know the answer.

    Can anyone clarify the seating policy for the bar? It has always been walk up and first come first serve, but we were just kicked out as walk-ups for a reservation by the hostess? Is this the new policy?

    We ate at the bar last time, but were seated by the hostess there. We were a family of 4.

    Does anyone know if eggy's potatoes are gluten free? Thanks!

    Potatoes in general are gluten free. I don't see anything that's added that would result in them not being gluten free.

With a cozy locals vibe, there was a mix of young professionals on laptops and families starting the morning. The bright aesethics of Mexican heritage and decor celebrating local artists make the space inspiring and energizing. The coffee was great. I got the horchata latte, which tasted even better than I hoped. I also ordered a El Chavo Torta, a deceptively simple sandwich that was incredibly delicious. I don't know what they put in the bread or what magical place they bought the cheese from, but my mouth is watering just thinking about it. When I'm in Chicago again, La Malinche is on my list of must visit spots.

The staff were really welcoming, for an early morning. I got the hot chocolate. Honestly that's exactly what I needed that morning. It had that real Mexican chocolate taste. Thick, creamy, smooth and rich. The cinnamon came through warm but not too strong, plus a little extra on top that hit your nose before the first sip. Sweet and it almost had this slight earthy note too... hard to explain but good. It even had that little design on top, like the ones they do on cappuccinos. Didn't expect that but it was cool. I finished it slow. Didn't wanna rush it. Just sat there taking small sips and enjoying it while it was still hot.

    Not sure why I had not reviewed this soot earlier, I come here often, in fact I'm here right now…read more Great spot! Set in an old warehouse that is now an art gallery event space and restaurant nestled in an older warehouse district in Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago. Beautiful decor and laid out perfectly. The natural wood floors furniture ie tables chairs etc and iron work throughout sets the ambiance for old meets new. It works. The wide spacing between tables makes for a comfortable dining experience. So many folks come in to do their work and dine here. What a super addition to the neighborhood that less than a decade ago was essentially a street that was more a run down semi-truck alley. Great menu with neighborhood favorites leaning toward the old school Italian dishes. Sandwiches, soups, salads, and breakfasts just to name a few are all excellent. The pastries are insane and a must take home deal. I love the American Breakfast. Three eggs your way, thick diced America potatoes, thick cut bacon, and sourdough toast. Accompanied by what I believe to be home made jelly and for sure homemade gardiniera. Caruso's gardiniera actually. Diced into a relish unlike most standard gardiniera it's easier to eat with many dishes. Excellent flavor and just the right kick to it. FYI Dolce Arte also sells a to go line of homemade Caruso products from their gardiniera to past and past sauces and more. Yes, their coffee is really good too. Lavazza products I believe. The service is always on point. Casual but on point. Very friendly staff from diverse backgrounds. This is the place you bring people close to you, business lunches, meetings, formal ir informal, or like me, save it for myself as my own getaway spot. It's an artists dream and sets a positive time for any gathering.
