    French toast grits
    Sha M.

    Nice place. Good food. Got a side of grits & plain french toast. Good quality price & portion. They got 100% maple syrup, it almost tastes as good as vermonts maple syrup lol. Hard workers. Nice people. Fresh.

    Smoked Salmon Benedict with mix greens
    Maggie M.

    Came on a Sunday before noon and the wait time was 20-30mins. So we decided to sit at the bar, we were lucky there were 3 spots available for us inside. They have seating at the bar inside and outside on the patio. We shared the Blackberry sangria, which was light and refreshing. Wasn't strong in alcohol so it was great to have for breakfast. There was enough for all of us to have about 2 glasses. Had the Smoked Salmon Benedict with mixed greens. The eggs were poached perfectly and the yolk oozed out when cut in half. Had a good amount of salmon for each bite. The mixed greens were fresh and the lemon dressing was very light. Think it would be better with just a little bit more dressing. Then we take the check and pay up front at the cashier. They can split the payment at the register or choose by seat.

    7:30 am on a Tuesday. Only a few tables seated. Had a coupon for a free birthday entree. Excellent service by Melanie. Had the Rustica Fritatta made with egg whites. Cremini mushrooms, sweet onions, sun-dried tomatoes, and kale. Served with organic greens, lightly dressed, and toast. Hubby had the traditional breakfast: eggs, potatoes, chicken sausage, and toast. Delicious coffee--urn left on the table. $42 before discount or tip.

    Had brunch here with my daughter today and we both loved our hash bowls. Fresh ingredients and flavorful combinations. Nice atmosphere, comfortable seating & the service was good. Great menu. We definitely will be back.

    Eggs

    I went here with my dad for a bruch and let me tell you, it was amazing. We orderd this Kale drink and its not some gross drink you would get at some low quality restaurant. It was honestly the best drink I ever had thatvwas healthy. For my food I ordered pancakes and eggs. Now I could not even finish half the pancake it was so big, and the eggs. Dont even get me started. I can not leave this place without getting eggs. 100% 5 stars!

    Grits

    Excellent breakfast plate. I got the traditional with fluffy eggs, chicken apple sausage, whole wheat toast which came with home fried potatoes. I also ordered the grits. It was filling the service via UberEats was sufficient and timely. Customer service was great. ​

    We had a yummy breakfast here today. The food was very yummy, definitely recommend the bacado omelet and BLTE sandwich. The vibe is really nice, perfect for a relaxed morning. Service was okay, not super fast but still friendly. We ordered the kale tonic and purple haze. Both was super refreshing and felt so healthy LOL. Overall, it's a great spot to start the day!

    The food exactly as it came. Unopened, I haven't started to eat it. 16 dollars.

    What is this portion??? And they didn't include the bread... thanks for the jam? I also got a morning meditation drink which was really good! Sad that this is the to go portion since I do love dining in.

    First Watch is always a solid win. The food is consistently great - super fresh, flavorful, and served in portions that actually feel worth it. Everything comes out bright and well-made, whether it's a brunch classic or something a little more on the healthier side. The vibe is relaxed, service is reliable, and it's the kind of place you leave already planning your next visit. I'll definitely be back!

    Soft opening First watch was paying for your meal! What a generous treat. The service was in point and the food and Kale Tonic was a hit! I will definitely be back.

    Salmon Eggs Benedict
    Kate K.

    I was excited to try First Watch after all the rave reviews. And while the atmosphere and service were great, the food was underwhelming. My eggs Benedict was hard boiled it was so overcooked and I found a small hair in it. The rest of our entrees were just ok while the price was $$$$ - with all the amazing breakfast diners around, we probably won't go back to First Watch.

    I treated my mother in law to breakfast at this new location and it did not disappoint! We were greeted and seated immediately. Our server, Jay, was not only friendly, but knowledgeable. She made great suggestions for us and took great care of us. The food was amazing. I had the avocado toast and the million dollar bacon. Soooo good! Highly recommend!

    Out here in deepest Suburbia, sometimes things present a vaguely Disneyesque artifice, where, if…read morethe fantasy world was more advanced, "Quotation Marks" would appear magically in the air around buildings (and, alas, people) indicating irony should be applied as a mitigating factor. This is not to imply in any way those places (or people) are therefore any less in quality or to be avoided. But I digress... I've driven past the "Paris Bistro" here, since it was established, and, unfairly thought "yeah, right". Why? Route 59 is a 1000% American Commerce Zone, rife with every franchise on the docket, and conformity is securely on the menu. And rightly so. Folks out here may have had their success, but they were raised in front of American TV, and their consumer habits developed accordingly, especially with regard to cuisine and eating habits. There are, of course, bona fide Ethnics in the general area, but those are germane to the Communities in residence. (Some FAB Chinese, Indian and Mexican places-q.v.) I am not aware of a burgeoning French settlement anywhere nearby. Around here "Cooper's Hawk" passes for "fine dining", and if you've ever fine-dined, you'll know Cooper's Hawk may parlay a decent feed, but it ain't Alinea, Bubba. In the far Western and Southwestern Chicago 'burbs, folks' Culinary tastes are as conservative as their politics. So whither "Paris Bistro"? It's a handsome suburban building with inviting signage. When you walk in, you pass a bar having an impressive array of boozes. Keep going west past the bar and you're in a room mimicking a rural setting, if a rural setting had curved leather banquettes. There's a more traditional dining room on the other side of the bar, but I didn't go in there. It was daytime, and bright, but when daylight ebbs, I'll bet both rooms are romantic. The service is reserved and accommodating-you're not going to find a wisecracking "Alice" on the staff. The menu actually is pretty accurate as a French Bistro in the USA. Lots of Français on it (in the titles), but the descriptions are all clear English. You don't have translation to fear.The menu is extensive, and features many traditional "Bistro" faves, along with select "American" choices. I was in for Brunch. Disregarding conformity, I ordered the Escargot for Hors D'oeuvre, not that I wanted to, but because I am pathologically incapable of NOT ordering Escargot if they are on the menu before me. They were yum, but I wish there was a softer bread available for sopping the buttery-garlic goodness remaining after the morsels are consumed. As "they" say, a French Chef is judged by their prowess in cooking a simple Omelette, so that's where I went. "Jambon et Gruyere" to be exact. It wasn't a large beast, but it was tasty, light, and properly prepared. No sign of the Rugby-Ball pancake-batter-enhanced behemoth omelettes you'll find in common Coffee shops. Accompanying was a (very) small salad of nice composition, with just enough fruity vinaigrette to satisfy. Also on the plate were tasty and ultra-crispy "shoestring fries". I'm not a slave to potatoes with breakfast. but these were damned good. The problem at hand (so to speak) was the transport from plate to mouth, as they were very thin and very crisp. Both fork and spoon were inefficient. I thought of using the spoon to crush them, thus rendering spoon a contender to preserve my dining decorum. In the end, I bit the bullet and just picked them up in hand, decorum be damned. I wish I had a bucket of these for movie-watching snacks at home. The coffee was a conundrum. It arrived with a strongish smell, like it was burnt and past its prime, but lacked the acrid flavor such as found in a forlorn brew. It was actually a fine, bold, cup of VERY dark roast. It's a nice, sophisticated (but not snooty) resto, dignified but not stuffy. If you need to have a business breakfast/brunch, this is a perfect place. Also, if you're not in the mood for the hustle and bustle of a noisy coffee shoppe. Prices a bit higher than you might expect, but... I quite enjoyed both the bread and circuses here, and while I never mistook myself from being anywhere else than in Naperville (not Paris), I caught the vibe, and it was nice. I am officially pissed at myself for not stopping here sooner. No "quotation marks" for this place. Throwing 4 stars (for now), and I'll be back here very soon for dinner.

    I recently went to Paris Bistro for a Galentine's Day tea with my Pilates friends. We were a group…read moreof five. We were shown to a table in the room to the right of the host stand. That room is usually where they sit families. It was not our choice and we voiced our opinion to sit in the dining room. The staff immediately switched everything to the warm and inviting dining room. The food provided was tasty from the mini sandwiches to the tartines to the sweet treats. I have to say there was an inconsistency with sizing. Some were generous and some were lacking. They could've done a better job with consistency so we all got the same sizes. The tea service was very cute but you were only able to choose a couple teas. I've been to other teas at Suzette's and Pinecone Cottage where the tea is unlimited, as well as they ask if you would like another tasting of something that you really liked. I felt for the money this tea service was limited as well as not consistent. It was a great way to spend time with my Pilates friends, though. I could see myself doing this again if there were improvements made and they were more generous by offering an additional taste.

I had the pick two, which was a half a sandwich (grilled cheese) with a half salad (kale Caesar). The salad was so good! Fresh, crisp and lightly dressed. However, the grilled cheese was pretty sad. I opened it up and there was hardly any cheese. It was just like eating two pieces of grilled bread. They need to improve on that for sure. I also had their 12oz wildflower latte which was very tasty, but served lukewarm and not hot. If the milk is not steamed, it will bring down the temperature of the coffee. I like my specialty coffees served hot. I do have to say every staff member we came in contact with was friendly. They seemed happy and were there to help and answer questions. You place your order at the counter, and you receive a number which you display at your table. There are two dining areas with tables and a few booths to dine at next to where you place your order. Members of the staff bring your order to the table. We didn't have to wait long for our drinks and food. Even with the sad grilled cheese sandwich which was disappointing and the lukewarm latte, I would definitely go back to Blackberry Market again to try other items on their menu. I'll pass on the grilled cheese, though.

I scheduled an order on a Friday for a Tuesday morning pickup. I picked up a dozen GF donuts and a half-dozen chocolate chip cookies, and both were fantastic. They offer a ton of different donut flavors, though the ordering system limits you to choosing three varieties per dozen. I went with the banana bread, chocolate with chocolate icing and the brown sugar with chocolate icing, and they did not disappoint. The cookies were just as impressive, hitting that perfect texture without any of the dryness you sometimes find in gluten-free baking. The shop itself is super cute and perfectly set up for a quick visit. All the preordered to-go items are neatly laid out on a cabinet for a seamless pickup.

It was perfect for our 15 mo. There was plenty of seating and tables for parents, plus a designated area for parties, which is a nice touch. They also have a solid menu with coffee, smoothies, sandwiches, and options for kids. I only tried the coffee which was good, and the food looked great from what I saw. They do require kids to wear grippy socks. We didn't come prepared, but they had them available for just $1.99. I did notice a few kids without them, so it doesn't seem heavily enforced. Also, parents will need to remove their shoes. One of the best parts was that there's no time limit on play, and they allow in-and-out access, which makes it really easy if you're juggling errands or a toddler's schedule. Overall, such a great find and definitely a spot we'll be coming back to.

    This review is for the experience of the playroom (I don't have a good gauge of the food from the…read morecafe). I brought my daughter here to attend a birthday party and she had a blast! The play area was clean and bright, and I had never really been inside an establishment that was quite like this. It's an excellent idea (and business model, I'm sure). I feel like Playroom Cafe fills a gap of having an indoor place where your kid(s) can socialize with others, but for the parents/adults, you have a comfortable place to sit, relax, socialize with others parents, or catch up on work emails or whatever things you'd like to do (they have wifi) and a cafe that serves drinks and sandwiches. And of course, it's a great place to throw an amazing birthday party all year long. Since we came as guests for a birthday party, we didn't pay admission but I looked at the rates and it was $17 for a kid (adult admission free with a kid). The check-in process was smooth (cubbies for shoes at the entrance, socks required) and an attendant greets you with an iPad to e-sign a few waivers. Easy peasy. There was a ball pit, and kid-sized kitchen area with pantry items, slides, things to ride like little trucks and trikes, a jumping contraption (like a mini trampoline but replace the trampoline with a giant inner tube that kids stand on, and kids can hold on to bars while they jump. Probably much safer than an actual trampoline, and my toddler LOVED this thing. There was also a play section for kids under 2 which was perfect for us. We ended up hanging out in this area (extra padded play area, extra padded slide and steps) for maybe 15 minutes, before my kid wanted to explore something else. All to say, this place was great as a birthday party guest, and I can see myself throwing a party here for my kiddo one day. There was a private and semi-private party room, and the play areas are open to paying customers, whether you're there for a party or not. I love that this is in Naperville, another really great kid-friendly spot for the family.
