Purple Haze Lemonade
Vernee D.

What a charming cafe in the middle of a charming Downtown area! It was freezing the morning we went in, but I was wanting breakfast - specifically pancakes. I had this place in the bookmarks and figured now was the best time to visit. Parking can be an issues in Downtown St. Charles since it is limited to street parking or public parking a few blocks away. We found parking right in front of FPC, mainly because it was a cold, Monday morning. We were greeted immediately, and inside was much smaller than I expected. We got seated right away though, and a good chance to really review the menu. I got a house coffee (delicious), and my husband got a Purple Haze Lemonade. We ended up getting a kid's pancake with bacon and scrambled eggs, Short Rib Breakfast Stack, and a Bomb Burrito. The pancake for my 2 year old was MASSIVE so it was a good day for him lol. The short rib stack was yummy - hash browns with runny eggs and meat on top. The burrito was also pretty good. Our breakfast entrees came with a side order of potatoes and while it was good, it got saltier over time so I might not get that next time. They advertise beignets, so we might go for that next time and try out their lunch menu!

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.

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.

Biscuits and gravy
Roberta A.

Absolutely loved our breakfast here! My husband and I sat on the patio overlooking the river, and the view alone made it worth the visit! So peaceful, beautiful, and the perfect start to our morning! What truly made the experience exceptional was our server, Jenn. She was incredible from start to finish!! She was warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful. She made great recommendations, checked on us at all the right times, and went above and beyond in ways you don't see often. My husband is picky about biscuits and gravy, and Jenn kindly brought him a sample of the gravy first to make sure he'd like it...such a small gesture to some people, but truly made it special for my husband. She even sent us off with coffee to go, which we really appreciated!! The food was just as impressive. I had the traditional breakfast. Everything was cooked perfectly, the potatoes were nice and crispy, Jenn recommended the ham, which was so flavorful and perfectly charred, so good!!! My husband ended up loving his biscuits and gravy! Between the amazing service, delicious food, and relaxing riverfront setting, this was easily one of our favorite breakfast experiences. Jenn truly made it memorable, and we'll definitely be asking for her every time we come back. Can't wait to return!!

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
Emily K.

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!

Short rib breakfast stack
Robert B.

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!

Belgian waffle with strawberry sauce
Ashley Q.

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.

I had my first breakfast at the Shack. I was alone so I…read moreasked to sit at the bar. The waitress and tender I believe was Emily? This fine lady, and the kitchen staff were on top of my experience. The Notorious was a little bit of everything on one plate. The biscuits and gravy were delicious. The biscuits were actually a bit crispy on the crust. The biscuits inside were moist and buttery. My eggs were sunny side up and perfectly to my taste. The sausage and hash browns complimented the rest of my meal. The coffee was from the pot. The carafe was even placed in front of me for refills! I look forward to returning to the Shack soon! Service was outstanding!

I had mixed feelings about my visit. The coffee was honestly the biggest disappointment it tasted…read morelike the beans had been roasted far too long, leaving it with a burnt flavor that made it hard to drink. The food, however, was much better. I ordered the "Mommy, Where Does Bacon Come From?" sandwich, and it was delicious. The pretzel bun was soft and fresh, and the sandwich had great flavor overall. I also tried the fried steak, which was cooked well and tasted great. The service was okay, but it was pretty slow. The ambiance was fine the walls are covered in writing, which is clearly part of the restaurant's design and gives it a unique character. Overall, the food was the highlight of the experience. If they improved the coffee and sped up the service, I'd be much more likely to come back.
