    Breakfast Burrito
    Marissa J.

    I've walked past this place many times but finally decided to stop in. It was the best find ever! They have some of the best coffee and breakfast I've ever tasted. I personally got the breakfast burrito and it was sooo good and flavorful. I'm also a big fan of their breakfast potatoes. The coffee tasted really good and fresh. There was a little wait but they do have a waitlist once you are there. All of the food came out quickly. Overall its a cute little restaurant tucked in the streets of old St.Charles.

    Mocha supreme , caramel latte

    Absolutely amazing ambiance !! Great service and the food ‍ my goodness was it delicious. From the Beignets to the chicken and waffles. The loaded potatoes was on point! Most definitely my new go brunch spot

    This time of year on Main Street in Dr. Charles is so festive. My cousin and I met at this establishment for brunch. They are in a new location and it's very beautiful. The charm of the historic building is well represented. It was busy and we did have to wait to place our order. I'll give them a pass this time since there was a 5K race ending and it's a popular time of year. Their breakfast potatoes were good, but were served a bit on the cool side. I also had the french onion soup. This was very delicious and I'm picky on any soup. I think it should be a food group. It's worth a try and I hope they bring back the chicken potpie soon. That is the meal that keeps me coming back.

    It's a pretty space that would be perfect for meeting a friend, quiet on a weekday morning, good avocado toast, great coffee, friendly fast service.

    Hot Honey Hot Chicken Biscuit

    My friend and I came here on a Saturday for some breakfast and coffee. I got a toffee nut latte and it was delicious! To eat I got the hot honey chicken biscuit. The chicken was really good with the honey and it had good flavor but the biscuit was a bit dry. I was a bit disappointed because it was just the chicken and biscuit, nothing else. I got the potatoes on the side with cheese, bacon, sour cream and onions. The potatoes were so good and I recommend getting them with all the things on them! I brought my 9 month old and the waitress offered me a high chair and I felt like there was plenty of room around the table for it without feeling crowded.

    Cozy little breakfast and lunch joint. I had the omelette, my friend the tomato soup and grilled cheese. Soo good!

    I didn't know about this restaurant, but was definitely impressed. An eclectic and tasty selection of breakfast and cafe items. Worth checking out!

    Beautiful space, decorated well and a very friendly staff! We ordered a couple of breakfasts and my wife's poached eggs came out hardboiled. The serves were great and took care of it, including having one of the redone eggs have to be redone again! My wife was so embarrassed, but they insisted on redoing them u til they got them correct (cooked, but runny). They laughed and joked with us and made the entire experience great. Good was all tasty and a good value for the price and environment! Would love to come back and try more options and see the servers (Megan and Jen) again!

    Cute little place, limited seating. We got there around 10am on a Sunday, were seated quickly. Good menu selection, ice latte was excellent. Breakfast sandwich was good, but needed a sauce or spread. Belgian waffle was excellent. Would definitely go again when we can sit outside on the patio.

    Cutaway of the Bomb Burrito
    John D.

    This is THE BEST place for breakfast/brunch in St Charles. Come at me... Seriously though. The food here is wonderful. Full of creative, scratch made signature dishes, created with QUALITY ingredients and delivered to your table with great service. I can't get away from the bomb burrito. Eggs, cheese, chorizo, and beef short rib meat. Soooo good. Served with the house potatoes, which are very simple, but prepared to absolute perfection!!!!! Now they're frying them in beef tallow. Yes. There's only a couple of places in StC that care enough to do this. No crappy vegetable oils here!! It's a somewhat small space, and can get busy at peak times on Fri, Sat, Sun, so be aware of that. BUT ITS WORTH THE WAIT!!!! The coffee drinks are also on point lots of great options to add a latté or cappuccino to your meal. Great place, usually our first choice for breakfast or lunch in St.Charles.

    After reading many positive reviews for this, charming gem, I had to check it out for myself, and boy! Let me tell you, every review was absolutely spot on! This place is charming, quaint, has an upscale ambience that makes your breakfast or lunch experience all the more enjoyable. The staff were very friendly, fast and efficient.

    After a long walk at Frontier Park the next best thing is eating at this cafe. Upon walking in sultry , well lit and calming environment. Seated quickly at bar for my me date breakfast. Staff friendly. I ordered Coffee drip and Chicken and Waffles. Delicious. Slow service but well worth the wait. Coffee hot and steamy, chicken tender and seasoned well , waffles soft and moist and breakfast potatoes cooked thoroughly. Prices reasonable and menu options are plentiful. Great meal and kudos to the chef .

    I love Picasso's! It's such a cozy coffee shop. There is usually a line, but it's definitely worth…read morethe wait. When I come here, I usually park in one of the nearby parking lots. I have never tried their food (will need to come back!), but I usually get a coffee to go. I like the Van Gogh's Milky Way drink. I like it iced; it's a great flavor combination of mocha and coffee. I've always had exceptional service with the staff always friendly.

    People clearly love this place. At 8 AM on a Sunday morning, there was already a pretty good crowd…read more I've been doing meetups at local coffee shops for the past several weeks, and sometimes it's kind of a ghost town, even if the food and coffee is good. I'd suggest that people were there to visit downtown St. Charles, or whatever it's called, which has a certain old-timey charm to it, but everything else was closed--presumably until later in the day, but who knows. That fentanyl is a menace. Parking could be a pain, if it's not the wee hours of the morning on a weekend, and you're not ambulatory enough to walk from a block or two over, and yet you're going to get essentially the equivalent of a milkshake and a donut. Inside is rustic, inviting and larger than you'd think, with an upstairs area that I didn't bother to explore, due to lack of curiosity. We had a larger group and ended up pushing a few smaller tables together, plus a few chairs we borrowed from other tables. No one seemed to mind. The key is not to ask first. That mentality will take you far in both the world of finance and dating. I'm kind of over ordering food from coffee shops, where they're obviously just throwing something in the microwave and charging you $10 for it, but I needed something to eat. I'd just gone for a run. Their burrito looked like the textbook definition of cultural appropriation, but it also looked like it might not be half bad. I had their equivalent of an Egg McMuffin, called Ron's Breakfast Sandwich, or something to that effect. When I hear the name Ron, I of course think of Sasso from Carlito's Way, but that probably says more about me than anything else. I'm assuming he didn't have anything to do with this. Essentially, this was a store-bought English muffin, a surprisingly generous and delicious helping of cheddar cheese, a few slices of seemingly prepackaged black forest ham and a fried egg. It was fine for what it was. Could the egg have been salted, could the muffin have been buttered and could the ham been an actual slice of Canadian bacon, or even better, American bacon? Sure, but I went into this with low expectations. The cheddar was melty and delicious, and weirdly abundant, but processed American cheese would have been more fitting for this kind of sandwich. You'd think a guy named Ron wouldn't object to processed foods. The caramel frappe I had was amazing. I got it with whole milk and whipped cream. I didn't bother to check and see if they charge you extra for whipped cream, which is the kind of crap some of these places have been known to pull. I got the 16 oz instead of the 20 oz, but it was probably still enough to take a day off the end of my life (when I don't need it as much anyway fwiw). Sometimes, when a food item tastes good enough, you can just tell it's not good for you, and that was the case with this drink. It was decidedly rich. I'm never in this part of town, and if I were, it would be at night, natch, but if things ever get to the point where they're clearly trending in that direction, I might start stopping by on the reg and getting that caramel frappe just to speed along the process of my demise.

    Wow! What an experience…read more Naturally, I had to get a glass of their crisp Italian Pinot Grigio. It was a must with the girl chat we were having and I was tempted to order another, but we would've never left if I had. I started with the lava roll. Unfortunately, I did not get a picture as I ate it within approximately .3 seconds of it being set on the table. Flavorful, and had a kick of spice to it! Next, we ordered fries and had to throw in another round because they were so yummy. The sauce that came with them... um yes, they know exactly what they are doing. I also asked for honey mustard, and Marcus literally went in the back and made me my very own sauce. How exceptional?! I'm talking about both Marcus and the sauce he made, yes, exceptional! For our entrees, my friend ordered a classic pepperoni pizza and I had Marcus surprise me with mine. He chose the salmon entree, which I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved it. The skin was crispy, salmon was cooked to perfection, the risotto had a burst of flavor, and everything worked well together. Also, it was a gorgeous plate. I wanted dessert but we were so stuffed, we had to pass. But it gives us an excuse to come back and see Marcus.... And try more food.

    The food and drinks are always top notch. We tend to sit in the bar area and order from their menu…read morecompared to the full menu. However, these "bar bites" are still high quality dishes. We've not had a bad experience with service at any point. The host(ess), waiter, and bartenders always do a fantastic job. Sometimes it can be quite busy and when that's the case, it can be quite noisy in the bar area. The rest of the restaurant remains far quieter even during rushes. It's also a nice place to visit when the weather is nice because they have a lovely patio. The only nuisance are random cars and/or motorcycles that drive by and continuously rev their engines. Not Prasino's fault, just the ignorant people driving by. All in all, brunch, lunch, dinner, and happy hour offer great options for everyone. The best part of Prasion is tasting the fresh ingredients they use.
