    Horchata Coffee
    Joy C.

    I have always had a pleasant experience at this Honey Jam location. I have tried different breakfast dishes from my visits, and they have all been satisfying. I love how fluffy they make their pancakes. My daughter agrees with me on this. The last time I had brunch here, I had a sweet potato and chorizo skillet. It was delicious. My horchata coffee was perfect too. The place is neat, the service is efficient and pleasant, but parking can be challenging (especially on the weekends). I would definitely come back here for brunch and try different dishes...always with a side of pancakes though :)

    Met some friends here today. Was there early and was not overly busy. We were seated and waitress took our order. Ordered simple breakfast. Pancakes, eggs, and hash browns. Meal arrived rather quickly. Thought this was good. Well it was luke warm. Asked for syrup several times. I should have sent back. But at this point, I was sorta done. Originally we were to meet at other location, but went to this one instead. Next time we will try the other location which was recommended highly.

    A more elevated Dennys? A little more modern inside but sloppy service -accompanied with a generic crayon and coloring placemat for kids. We ate here for breakfast and the menu is overwhelming ... so look in advance if you are the hangry type! I switched my mind at least 4 times. - I think they have some unique option, but also the classics. They really have something for everyone. The strawberry cheesecake French toast was my favorite. And order the OJ - Fresh squeezed orange juice is worth every penny. They offer savory or sweet crepes, skillets, scrambles, a variety of Benedict's, pancakes, waffles- you name it. I would come back to try some other food from menu but nothing was good enough to come back for except the French toast.

    Donuts- 9/10

    Server was great and was cheery. A little slow with refills- but he appeared to be only server on our entire half of the restaurant. Clean and large dining area. Food was good, expensive. Waffle and donuts excellent. Eggs and bacon just ok. Would try again.

    The wait time to be seated was so fast! Our serve was so nice and kept checking up on us which was great customer service. We ordered our food and it came out less than 20 mins it was so fast for the amount of people that were there eating. The ambiance was nice I love the amount of the restaurant and it was clean! The restrooms were clean as well. The staff were all nice and we got an omelette (Veggie) and the horchata coffee which was really good! My niece got the chicken Cobb salad and surprisingly it was delicious with lots of flavor with a horchata shake! It's a family friendly restaurant and would highly recommend to anyone!

    Today I visited Honey Jam Cafe. There's multiple locations in Illinois. I've visited the Downers Grove location a few years ago, but today we're trying out the latest location in Oakbrook. The hubby got a create your own omelette with pancakes and I got the strawberry orange juice with a steak skillet with cinnamon roll pancakes. Overall the food was good, but we did have an issue with our server. First - she didn't greet us or tell us Happy New Year. Literally as I was taking off my coat before sitting down, she was already asking what we wanted to drink. We hadn't yet sat down to go over the menu! Secondly, she messed up the bill by adding our total as well as another customers. Thankfully the manager caught it and fixed it before we paid at the front. I'm going to give this restaurant 4 / 5 stars for the food. 3 stars for service and for the experience 3.5 - only because the manager assisted us. If I decide to go to Honey Jam Cafe again, it will definitely be a different location.

    Met a friend here for breakfast at 9am on a Sunday. I couldn't order an alcoholic beverage because it wasn't 10am due to the town's ordinance. Our food arrived very shortly after ordering, by 10am we were ready to leave. We both created our own skillets, mine with pancakes and Kathleen chose fruit. Our server was nice, the food was good. It was very busy but the noise wasn't very loud, we could still hold a conversation comfortably.

    Had a solid brunch at Honey Jam! The parking lot is kind of a nightmare on the weekends. I opted to park at Wendy's rather than sit and wait for someone to leave for a spot to open up. Got seated quickly in the back! I will say with the garage doors closed in the winter and the heater blowing it can get really loud in there. We started off with an order of the biscuits which were tasty with both the honey butter and jam. Our food came out super quick - like 5 minutes after we ordered and only a few minutes after we got our biscuits! I ordered the New Mexico skillet and got a side of chocolate chip pancakes. Portion size was great and everything was delicious!

    On a girls trip and we were going somewhere else but decided to stay close to our hotel. We walked in and were greeted by Abby who was so bubbly and welcoming. This set the tone for our beautiful experience But our waitress Jennifer was amazing! She gave great recommendations on coffee and meals. The food was exceptional. The caramel macchiato was superb. I'll of u go for the pumpkin potato pancakes get them! They were the best I ever had. But I can't sing the praises of Jennifer our waitress enough. She was knowledgeable of the menu, sweet, accommodating, and her customer service skills are unmatched! Side note the coffee cups are too cute!

    First time trying this chain. Pleasantly surprised with how packed the place. A cozy, bustling environment. The server was amazing. Very attentive and fast. The food also came quickly and was piping hot. I enjoyed my Jays Iron Man omelette with a fruit cup and English muffins. Happy to see an omelette with cheese as a default. The omelette was large and the salsa was Smokey and flavorful. The English muffin was toasted crispy on the outside and soft inside. They also had my fav Dickinson's jam. The fruit cup was okay, not a huge fan of pineapple and grapes. The only downside was the beverages. They only offer 2% or almond milk. The coffee and orange juice felt watered down.

    I look at the clock. It's 2:15 a.m…read more This is a dangerous time to be hungry. You're no longer choosing where to eat. You're finding out what society is willing to feed you. I'm still learning Chicago and its suburbs, so I spend about 15 minutes on Maps and kept consulting ChatGPT on where to eat. To my surprise nothing worthy was suggested. I reluctantly drive to my usual spot, which I won't name because they've done nothing wrong and don't deserve to be involved in this story. I walk in. Look at the menu. Get ready to order. Then something inside me says, "No." I walk back out. Now I'm sitting in my car at 2:30 in the morning like a divorced man outside a casino, staring at Google Maps one last time. Then I see it. Johnnie's Grill. 17 minutes away. I've never been there. Immediately, I start thinking about every Johnnie I've ever met. Do Johnnies know how to cook? Is Johnnie still alive? Is there even a Johnnie? Maybe Johnnie sold the place in 1987 and some guy named Steve has been benefiting from his reputation ever since. Most importantly: can Johnnie be trusted with my hunger? While entertaining these bullshit scenarios, I somehow arrive. As I'm getting out of the car, four young guys are walking out. Perfect. I need intelligence from the field. I ask, "What's good to get here, guys?" One of them looks at me and says: "Everything, bruh. Anything you get is gonna be fire." That's all I needed to hear. I walk inside and meet Julie, who is genuinely one of the warmest people you could hope to encounter at this ungodly hour. She patiently walks me through the menu while I study it like I'm choosing a mortgage. Eventually, I order the Big Boy. And goddamn it, the boys were right. The Big Boy was delicious. Nothing fancy. Nothing pretentious. Nobody back there is reducing a balsamic glaze or explaining where the cow went to college. It's just a damn good burger. Oddly enough, it reminded me of the burgers my parents make at home, which might sound like an insult to a restaurant, but I mean it as one of the highest compliments I can give. It tasted familiar. Like somebody actually made you food instead of assembling a product. At 2:15 in the morning, I thought Chicago had abandoned me. Johnnie had not. I don't know who Johnnie is. I don't know if Johnnie is alive. I don't even know if Johnnie has ever stepped foot inside Johnnie's Grill. But Johnnie, wherever you are: I'll be back.

I requested our group to be placed in a corner since we were dining in with 2 kids and an infant who would be sitting in a stroller. She had said they were fully booked and a different party needed the table I was eyeing since they would be coming in with 3 strollers. I was there from 9am-11am on a Friday and it was not packed nor did a family use the table I wanted while I was there. No one came in with 3 strollers either. Aside from that, I was trying to be helpful so the stroller wouldn't get in the way of customers and wait staff. The host basically made it harder for them, not me. I started with the hazelnut oat mocha and this was delicious. This was the highlight of my time there. For food I tried the Shakshouka and it was not good. The pouched eggs were not cooked. From my pictures - it looks like the eggs were cracked in the dish and the chef called it a day. I didn't chance eating it, I ate the pita it came with and left very hungry. I'm giving Beatrix a generous 2 due to the space being beautiful and my latte being great. Unfortunately this is not a spot I'll be returning to.

You could drive right by thinking it was a vacant building except for all the cars in the lot. The notion of vacant building is dispelled immediately upon entry. The place is busy, loud, vibrant with customers clearly enjoying the food and experience. The interior is decorated simply, with muted colors, is well lit, and clean. There are a lot of hard surfaces which makes the ambient noise level fairly high; however, it did not detract from the experience (but just be advised in case you feel this is bothersome). We were greeted warmly and though the place was packed, we were seated quickly. Despite the diner-like vibe, there is no counter, just tables and booths. Our server was prompt, very pleasant, and efficient. The coffee was hot and flavorful. The food: Large portions, well prepared, warm, savory, satisfying. The loaded Cheers omelette, with hash browns and pancakes, was more food than I could enjoy in one sitting so I have leftovers for tomorrow. Prices are in line with more reasonably priced independent eateries. A two-egg, hash browns, pancake combo is $14. This place will be an option in the future.

They have their own private parking spot and you can see it along the major roads. When you walk in you see a glass of their display of yummy looking desserts. You wait until you are seated. I like the fact, they have a lot of booth tables and they can also accommodate larger parties by connecting tables together. This place is more like a family establishment not a hipster trendy place. It has a homey comfort feel to it.. I've never had any issues with their staff. They've been always friendly and attentive when serving us. Because there are times when you have a bad day and it's nice to hear and see a friendly person human contact. I like the fact that our water and coffee was always filled. The order of you food is pretty quick. We typically order the vegetarian omelette and some other omelettes depending how we feel. The size of your plate is pretty big that you can literally bring leftovers or you can share. My favorite here is the creamy rice chicken soup. I like their country fried steak as well good amount of breakfast sausage gravy. Today we ordered a lot of sides to share, I think it's a better deal if you order each a meal and share this way. It did add up more than we wanted to spend and lots of plate on the table, lessons learned! I like cottage cheese and peaches. Cottage cheese was cold and they give a good serving size. However, I was not a fan of their peaches. It looked like chopped peaches in syrup like you would use in a filling for a peach pie or a topping for ice cream. I prefer canned slices or half sliced peaches myself. I wouldn't get this again. I would only get the cottage cheese only. We also ordered a Side of bacon, you get 3 thick pieces. I prefer thinner sliced bacon that I can have it extra crispy with a crunch. We ended up getting pork sausage links, which is nice you get 3 pieces versus the patty. You'll only get two pieces. Their corn beef with hash is out of can type which I like, and I like it extra crispy when I requested it. Their egg omelettes are pretty big in size. I usually get the vegetarian one we ended up having to bring half of it back home lol! I like their side of fresh cut fruit. It must be in season because every piece were sweet even the grapes. My mom tried the mimosa and she liked it a lot. She drank it all with no problem. I had their coffee latte with unsweetened vanilla syrup and extra cream. It was very good. I would get it again. Overall, it's a nice place that I would go for breakfast. I'm sure there afternoon evening dishes that are pretty good as well as I do see people ordering those. I will definitely come back here again.
