We went in around 130pm, I think we were 1 of 4 tables. We saw the server twice, when we made the order, and when she brought the order out. We asked for refills when the food was brought out, and then realized the order was wrong and planned to tell the server when she returned. She never came back so we had no refills and an issue with the order. We went to pay without the bill, as we never saw the server again. The lady at the register gave us an attitude because we didn't have the check with us. We had to point to her twice which table we were (right across from the register and the only table without customers that had dishes on it) I wouldn't go back. Complete lack of interest in customer service. read more

We made reservations for Mother's Day. I noticed they have a coffee/juice/smoothie bar while you wait. They were able to seat us upon arrival. It was quite busy. They had a limited menu because of the holidays but all the favorites were on there. It was still two sides full of options! Everyone was very happy with the food. Especially the FRESH corned beef hash, that is so hard to find. It's usually from a can. Our waitress was very attentive even though it was packed. The owner came to the table twice. The decor is different from the restaurant that used to occupy the space. It looks cute. We would definitely go back! They have a lot of patio seating, when it gets nice out that would be a great option. read more

Very disappointed this visit! The waitress took my order delivered it and then was missing in action. She didn't come to warm my coffee and didn't bring a to go container or my bill. The breakfast panini was tasteless!!!! Probably won't visit again read more

The food was amazing and the workers were SUPER friendly. I would recommend getting The Chilaquiles. The workers always make sure we are satisfied with the food. read more

Stay away from this place. It took us 15 mins to be seated when they were not busy. Then it took another 15mins to be able to order food. On top of that they got the order wrong. 3 items. I Berry smoothie, 1 wanna milkshake, and a bowl of lentil soup. It was a joke. They did get the soup right. How do you screw up a banana milkshake. Don't go here. We won't be going back. read more

The food was excellent. We both had omelettes. The service was outstanding. The restaurant is very clean and very modern and well decorated in a great location parking on the adjacent street. Prices were very good. I would highly recommend you go to this restaurant. Besiana our server was one of the best servers I've ever had, totally attentive very nice and the food arrived hot and delicious. read more

Grade A Cafe - My aunt's surprise extra treat!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mount Prospect, Illinois

Food and coffee is fairly good. Very similar to the previous place with a new paint job.

We had a gathering for a friend today and it was first time I was there. The food was very good and the service was great. Sharon was our server and she accommodated our group with pulling off a surprise for a birthday. Tony, the manager, was also very helpful. Everyone enjoyed their meals and we will definitely be going back soon. read more

First time dining at Grade A Cafe and I must say that this would not be the last. The staff was very attentive and friendly. We were seated right away and was immediately greeted by our server. Food was very fresh and came out quick and piping hot. I ordered the steak skillet and my husband had the classic french toast with a side of bacon. Both items were delicious and plentiful. We will definitely be back! read more

Breakfast just doesn't get any better than at GRADE A! Start out with an amazing choice of delicious teas - not sure which one? a tea leaf sampler makes this easy. Now on to the main event. I had two eggs with pancakes, crunchy hashbrowns, and bacon. And of course, the real maple syrup was served hot in its own decanter. Looking for something with a Mediterranean spin - My wife was delighted with her choice of the Greek Style Frittata. This is a skillet baked with 3-grade AA farm fresh eggs plus Kalamata olives, tomatoes, and feta cheese. Served with a choice of potatoes and toast or pancake. And the service? With a smile as warm and sweet as my syrup our server even offered a tea to go. YOU DESERVE A GREAT BREAKFAST! GRADE A is THE place to get it. read more

Ordered pumpkin pancakes and they were not more like gingerbread! If you don't know how to make them, then don't!!!! Also bacon was bad and coffee was bitter,potatoes undercooked, etc .. I would not go back! read more

Today was my first visit to grade a cafe after seeing photos of their food online. I went with my daughter on a Saturday morning. I ordered the avocado toast with egg whites and they brought me regular scrambled eggs. I didn't say anything but I'm not sure if the waitress got it wrong or the cook. read more

We went here with a 12 person party celebrating 6 birthdays. Food, ambiance, and the entire experience was great! They brought out enough ice creams to cover our dozen people and sang to everyone to celebrate. The staff are wonderful and kept all of our chaotic orders straight. Perfect restaurant! read more

What a nice change for this space. Lots of good food and attention by all the staff. So convenient for before or after the movies. It also does not compete with the other restaurants surrounding it. I like that. read more

After a person who works there personally told my friend and I to come in to eat, we were looking at menu outside, we went in to eat and decided to eat outside. We were given 2 menus and were told to sit anywhere and someone would be out. We sat at a table literally up against the glass of restaurant. After a half hour someone brought us water. We asked if someone is coming to take our order and she said yes. After another half hour (in total an hour) we finally left. The best part was we walked past it an hour later and menus and water still on table. Very unacceptable first experience read more

Been coming here for ages. Zima is always amazing, friendly and professional. Love the food and coffee is even better. If you are in the area or not, gotta try this place out. read more

Not sure why my reviews are not being posted. Unfortunately this is the same complaint that everyone had from yesterday. I typically love this place but obviously not on a holiday and will probably not go back especially since it is about a 30 minute drive from my home to get here. I expected to have a wait to get in (after all it is Mother's Day) but the service was just unacceptable. We walked in and I asked to be put on the list. The guy running the hostess desk says they are not doing a list. they remember faces and will seat us. After a while the poor girl that was literally running back and forth trying to find tables for people, I noticed people jumping in and telling her that they wanted to be seated. Of course, the guy I talked to never told her about my party. so I joined the group and said I was a party of 3. She did get us seated fairly quickly at that point. That was the last of it. Our server told us they were very busy and only had 5 cooks. We placed our order. After a while, we finally saw a tray come out. I said "Look here is our food" The server said no it isn't. She did go and check and said that our order had finally hit the counter. It had been over 30 minutes at this point. I was getting frustrated because at this point we had been there about an hour. the server new how frustrated I was getting and really didn't want to be spending my entire afternoon there. But I figured we had about 10 more minutes. I noticed that people were starting to get served who arrived after us and there were a LOT of faces looking around like "What is taking so long". 20 minutes later, we are still waiting, the server tells me that it wouldn't be fair to push my order to the front as they are working on orders as they come in. But people who came in after are eating. Ok, we'll wait. 10 minutes later another table is served who came in after us. I told my granddaughters we were leaving. We got up and went to pay for our drinks. The server called us over to her. Here I'm thinking she is going to us that our food is coming out. Nope, only to say that we don't have to pay for the drinks and she'll talk to the manager. I understand being busy for a holiday but there was no control of management, or service at all in this restaurant for a holiday. Hopefully, they will learn from it but I can say I won't be back. read more

Stopped for a late breakfast with a friend. We were able to sit outside. Breakfast was avocado toast & Lox's Benedict. Both were excellent. Service was good & food was served promptly. The manager stopped at the table to make sure everything was satisfactory. Will be back & recommend everyone tries this place, read more

Amazing and friendly service! Loved the steak skillet, so delicious! The steak was perfectly cooked and tender, completely the entire delicious dish. Will definitely be returning! read more

Amazing food, amazing service, amazing atmosphere !!! AAA all around, I do highly recommend this place !

I love this place! The food is so good and the service is beyond excellent. Will for sure be returning!

I didn't realize they changed owners and it wasn't eggsperience until after we sat down. The hostess was super nice and my kid loved her. She was so nice! The food was.... okay. I got the corned beef hash skillet. To their credit, it wasn't canned corned beef. There was shredded corned beef but not a lot of it. It was mostly diced unseasoned potatoes. I did not enjoy it. The biggest gripe I had was the amount of fruit flies we were swatting away. My kid first noticed when one was on her orange on her plate. Blech... Big red flag for a restaurant. This is what I don't get, and I see it all the time: How does a spot that has a breakfast restaurant in it that does pretty well... closes... and a new place opens thinking they have it together to do better. read more

I'm on the fence honestly but will give it another chance. The food and coffee were okay. My go to is eggs Benedict which was good but the hollandaise sauce was not good and it took away from my food experience The server, really just the person who took our order, was ok. She wasn't very friendly and never checked to see how things were or ask if we wanted more coffee. We finally had to motion for the owner/manager to bring us coffee. The server apologized for not checking on us. read more

Complimentary espresso with great, friendly service In a cold rainy morning. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Stopped by when they first changed hands and found it disappointing but I figured they still hadn't adjusted to new ownership. The restaurant looked pretty much the same as it did before. The waiter was soso, service was ok. We ordered 2 eggs with a side of bacon, toast and coffee. The coffee was so strong I had to kill it with sugar which I never use and 4 creamers that barely lightened the coffee. The toast was cold and eggs were warm. I always loved the place before, but this was no where near the previous standard read more

Service and food were excellent. The smoothies were made with fresh fruit. Very nice outdoor seating too.

Eggsperience plus more! Same great cafe but with even more menu options. Great food, great people!

First time here and was soooo delicious!! Can't wait to come back and try something else on their huge menu! Service was fabulous and everyone is so friendly! read more

I absolutely love this place! The staff is so welcoming and polite. The food is great, we have tried pretty much everything, no complaints. We have become regulars here, my picky toddler loves eating here, super family friendly which is another plus. Smoothies and milkshakes are a great way to finish off your meal. Makes Sunday brunch dates easy. The restaurant itself was modern and clean, you can tell they care and keep up with everything from food, environment, and customer service. read more

We catered our office holiday party from Grade A Cafe for the first time ever and we were not disappointed. The food was amazing! Arrived on time, nicely packaged and intact and again, the taste was out of this world. Will definitely cater from them again. read more

Food was good. Waiter was very nice. Hostess was an abrupt and rude pill. Restaurant was cute.

Ordered the Farm Stand Frittata with rye toast and fruit. Everything was delicious from the best orange pieces I've tasted in a long time to lovely presentation of frittata, which is big enough for 3 meals, and the lovely toasted fresh bread. Great server. read more
