Super cute restaurant that offers outdoor seating in their back patio, which is so cozy! There are tables with umbrellas and those without, so you have a choice. There is also some indoor seating as well, but I wouldn't recommend inside for super larger parties (10+). The service was really good. Everyone was nice and attentive. I had the bliss pancakes and those were very good! The pancakes on top are light and fluffy! The only thing I am not a fan of is how the pancakes and French toast are like drowned in sauce at the bottom of the plate. It makes them super soggy and I'm not a fan of that. My cousin had the French toast, and rates it the same as stated above. My partner had the omelet and she said it was really good and shed definitely come back for it. My brother had the breakfast sandwich, and thought the flavors were very unique which made it very good compared to other sandwiches he's had before. The potatoes were very good and full of flavor. The bacon and the chicken sausage were also very good quality. Also, I believe it's BYOB. I would definitely recommend m.henry! I would definitely come back. read more

The omelette was fantastic, the cheese was well paired and the potatoes were great. I appreciated the non-conventional omelette option. The Iced coffee I ordered ended up being cold brew, but that's common. The service was good and a bit hands off, a busy brunch. We had a small issue with the QR code checkout but we ended up resolving that with the server. They didn't try to push us out either when we stayed to chat for a bit after our meal which was kind. The environment was loud but what do you expect for ambiance on a Sunday brunch read more

M henry - Dandelion and leek omelette. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Outstanding breakfast spot! Another gem discovered in this area! Without a doubt, this restaurant offers an exceptional breakfast experience. In addition to their mouthwatering breakfast options, I couldn't resist trying their Lemon Chicken sandwich. The flavors were incredible, with a delightful balance that left my taste buds watering. For the ultimate experience, make sure to request it warmed up. Prepare yourself for a truly heavenly delight that will make you dive face-first into each mouthwatering bite! The service was phenomenal and the food was delicious. It's a decent sized space but clearly popular so I'd prefer to plan ahead so you don't have to wait. Seems like they also have coffee and pastries to go as well. Highly recommend! Can't wait to visit again! read more

I was very pleased with m.henry during a afternoon brunch. It was very strange seeing a few empty tables due to the virus going around but the good thing was we got a table for 4 in 5 minutes. I started off with a mochachino (hot chocolate & expresso) and saw they had a few specials. I love pancakes, so I was drawn by the soufflé pancakes and they did not disappoint. They were so delicious with the berries and mascarpone. Really good deserts are sold on one side of m.henry for those on the go, staff is very friendly, and the place is cozy. I will definitely be back for another brunch!!! read more

M henry - Japanese soufflé pancakes! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

First time here although my wife has raved about this place since we first got together. I called ahead to see if they took reservations; no reservations (first come first serve) but apparently there's almost never a wait during the week day. When we arrived there was a small line to be seated but plenty of empty tables. We were quickly seated by a lovely older gentleman at a table with water and menus already laid out. That's where the service went a bit south. No one came to check on us for a bit, which was fine as we were catching up with friends. The gentleman who sat us came back and asked if anyone had helped us. He seemed appalled when we said no. We ordered all of our food and drinks at once to make things easier. However, my cappuccino had lipstick on the rim of the cup. The second glass was way too sweet and the espresso was extremely weak. I had to switch to coffee. Our meals were overall extremely tasty (I loved my black bean cakes and eggs) but many of the sides were missing. We didn't have vanilla cream on the French toast, no sour cream on my eggs, syrup was forgotten, no cream for the coffee, etc. all of these things were fairly small and were taken care of once pontes out. I was surprised though that each of us had missing aspects to our meals! The overall atmosphere was comfy. Almost all of the servers were kind and friendly and I could see this being a consistent place to eat brunch. But avoid the cappuccinos. It will disappoint you, haha! read more

m.henry is SO GOOD. Almost too good. The bliss cakes are melt in your mouth worthy. Thick cream in the middle, warm berries, and fluffy pancakes. The half I took home also warmed up great for a midnight snack! The lemon raspberry French toast was also phenomenal, with tart lemon curd and sweet raspberry syrup. In terms of sweet options, you can't go wrong here! The restaurant is large, but they have these beautiful repurposed window panes that keep it feeling private. They also do have a pretty good in and out here, but keep in mind wait time could be long for Saturday and Sunday brunch. As of now they don't take reservations, but hopefully that changes sometime soon! I'll definitely be back! read more

M henry - Bliss cakes (front) & lemon raspberry French toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

From the outside, it appears like a French bistro of sorts. We arrived around 1pm, which was good, because when we first arrived, it was rather loud in the main dining room, but as people started to filter out, the sound leveled off. Food wise, it was a mixture of fusions, all the while staying true to a breakfast/brunch/lunch establishment. I had a turkey ruben, with Asian slaw, and a side of greens. I really wanted the greens and butternut, but that was a main dish, and was told that the side dish was different from that. The Ruben was delicious. The greens were absolutely scrumptious! The slaw was a bit of a throw away, more of a garnishment, as it had little to no seasoning or dressing. Bland. My friend had this amazing black bean soup that I tried. Up front sweetness with a heat kick on the end. Great cumin, chili style flavors, that really impressed me. No mimosas here, as they are alcohol free, of note. Their board mentioned a slew of different pies they offered. The pumpkin pie caught my attention because of the season we are currently in. Unfortunately that was just a list of "pies we offer," and no pumpkin currently. My pics show current pies available, and while they looked tantalizing, they were not catching my eye. Service was....adequate. Nothing remarkable. I will definitely give this place another go. read more

M henry - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Was great service and great food until I asked for a burger to go for my partner who has a severe egg allergy and I said a burger to go with no mayonnaise and no egg and the server went as far to check if the bun was made with egg, which it was and offered to switch it to an English muffin which has no egg in. Just to find out when I get home that the burger has mayo on it...... now my partner cannot eat the burger and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth after all the great service. Please be considerate with people with allergies and train the staff to understand that if a guest has an allergy and how to handle it. read more

My friend and I went to M Henry for Sunday brunch! We arrived at 11am and waited 15ish minutes for a table. We were offered a table on the patio but decided to wait longer for a table inside because it was quite warm out. We ordered these two dishes and share them. The food was slightly above average, nothing mind blowing. Service was solidly average. I might go back if I happen to be in the Andersonville area! read more

This place is delicious. They have a fantastic breakfast menu, little bakery items, and a nice cozy vibe. I recently swung by for take out and they were super friendly and fast.

Heard this was a great brunch spot and WOW I'll definitely be returning. The customer service was outstanding, the employees were so sweet and all COVID Protocols were being followed. I ordered the rustic peasant quiche and lentil soup. I don't even like lentils but this soup was fantastic. Very flavorful. My friend got the honey glazed salmon baguette sandwich which was so great. You MUST get a baguette too. They almost melt in your mouth. read more

Decided to visit this place since it's highly rated on Yelp. The place smells good but the actual food was a let down. We had some omelette, a breakfast sandwich and the Japanese soufflé pancakes that night as well be called a crumpet or some sort. Flavor was average, service was nice ,large portions but just didn't have the actual brunch factor ..no mimosas or alcoholic drinks. I mean what brunch ?!! read more

Let it be known that, in non COVID times, I love this place! Like five stars kind of love. Like wait in line for hours to get in kind of love. However, my sister and I recently ordered delivery, and unfortunately it just wasn't the same. It took over an hour and a half to arrive which was probably the biggest reason. I got the bliss cakes. Although the peaches were exceptional and the sour cherries were great (delightfully fresh and scrumptious!), the bliss cakes themselves were mushy from being in the takeout container so long and all the mascarpone filling (My fav part!) had melted down into a liquid and been absorbed - especially by the bottom cake. The top one wasn't as soaked and with the combination of the crisp oats, I did eat that entire one. The bottom line is I can't wait until this Covid stuff is over and I can go back to the restaurant in person to put the bliss back in bliss cakes. read more

After our red-eye flight we needed hot coffee and warm food in freezing Chicago! We arrived shortly after opening and as we walked in I quickly noticed the original wood floors and wainscoting along the entrance. We were greeted and sat right away. There were old glass windows hung from the ceiling to separate some tables. This restaurant has very much of a family feel, it felt like I was having breakfast at my tia's house and the primos were taking our order. We started with strong hot coffee. I prefer a medium roast and this was more a medium-dark. I ordered Jorge's black bean cakes & huevos rancheros. The bean cakes are pretty dense and more of a filler. The eggs were pretty delicious, they were served on fresh handmade tortillas. My husband ordered the Latina Omeletta, candied bacon, and a slice of French toast. The omelet was a bit spicy for his preference but overall good flavor. The candied bacon was outstanding and the French toast could have been a bit more moist but great flavor. read more

Always had this to my list if I ever made it out north and my fabulous professor loves this place so she brought me some bread pudding. I feel like it got better after sitting a day as the flavors got to mingle and get to know each other. The bread pudding was good even when it was cold. When I heated it up, it was game over. Loved the fresh fruit added to the syrup and the sweet bread, definitely help balance the heaviness from the sweetness for the bread. It brightened up the dish nicely to allow me to eat the massive portion I one sitting ahaha If the dessert was this good I can't wait to try the rest of the menu! read more

It has been years since I have had M Henry's bread pudding and it is as good as I remember it. It was the first dish I missed when I moved too far to get it (across the ocean,otherwise...) I will eat so much of it and get super full yet the joy of each spoonful does not diminish. Hence my happy face in the photo:) M Henry's Sour Cherry Pie which I recently brought home with me, heated in the oven and added some vanilla ice cream came a close second.I think their other stuff on the menu is also good, but it's been years so I don't recall. read more

I've been a few more times now and had the chance to try many more menu options, and the food here is creative and good. However, one day I was excited to try a new dish with eggs, soy chorizo, and tomatillo sauce, and they served it to me with no tomatillo sauce. I asked about the tomatillo sauce, and they said they ran out. Now, why did the kitchen serve it anyway? I don't get it. I was really looking forward to the tomatillo sauce. I ate it anyway, but I was disappointed, and the dish was definitely missing something. Can't go wrong with their French toasts though. So good. read more

Great selection for breakfast or brunch. Love theirs breakfast burrito and sandwich. Wait staff was wonderful.

M Henry was a good choice for a casual Sunday brunch and a mini-family reunion. We ordered hot cakes, French toast, and the egg sandwich special... all excellent choices that I can recommend. Get there early and be prepared for a brief wait. Thanks, M Henry team! We had a great time. read more

m. henry is a destination restaurant and offers our favorite breakfast/brunch in Chicago. The ambience is beautiful and the room is set up in a unique way to keep the noise level to a minimum. The food is gorgeous when served and outstandingly delicious! Everyone there makes you feel welcome and the service is excellent. In the summer, the patio is a delightful place to eat, but this is a great place to dine year-round! read more

We got the cinnamon french toast, blackberry bliss cakes and the chilaquiles (it was the special that day). For us the cinnamon French toast was the best of the lot. Portions are quite generous. Service was quick too and wait time was 30 mins which was not bad for a busy Saturday morning. read more

Classic little neighborhood brunch spot. Food was great - lots of delicious options. Will need to come back soon

Enjoyed food atmosphere staff really everything. Maybe it was the sunny warm Chicago day but once I parked on street rest of experience was great. Had quinoa bowl with kale. Super foodie! Loved hot chai latte with oat milk. Friend raved about bliss pancake then ordered eggs Benedict special. Loved that too. Inventive menu of choices. read more

Excellent food! The service is slow but if you are going for a relaxing meal then it is worth it. We went with a group of friends and the winners were the fried egg sandwich and the rustic quiche! Don't miss this amazing place. read more

M henry - Rustic quiche with potatoes- Yummy! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Mmmmmm, Henry! Whoever Henry is, he does breakfast right. I was famished, having just arrived in Chicago from Baltimore so my niece suggested m henry. I overindulged with the Latina Omeletta, which was huge and boasted plenty of green onions, cilantro, tomatoes, black beans, and sharp cheddar cheese. The accompanying house potatoes were yummers, also. I LOVE plantains and make them myself. These were just as good as my own. Sweet, soft, and ripe. Que Rico! The Lemon-Rasberry Brioche French Toast gave me severe breakfast envy. It looked scrumptious, piled high with thick slices of brioche toast layered with homemade lemon curd and raspberry coulis. OMG! If your taste buds are party hopping, they should try the Blackberry Bliss Cakes next. These were layered with blackberry and vanilla mascarpone cream then topped with a brown sugar oat crust. Another OMG! If you're looking for more of a healthy breakfast item that won't send you into a sugar coma, the Dandelion and Shallot Omelette should be your first choice. Dandelion greens, caramelized shallots and leeks are folded into this fluffy omelet and served with house potatoes or a mixed greens salad. I'll admit, everything on this menu looked delicious and it was hard to decide on what to order for breakfast. I put this place on my restaurant bucket list to return and try the Cinnamon Roll French Toast and the Fresh Fruit Crepe. I hope Henry is ready for me, as I plan to visit him every time I make a trip to Chicago from now on. Mmmm, Henry! read more

We came here for breakfast of course and had to wait about 30 minutes to get a table. Not a bad wait, and definitely worth the wait. I ordered Jorge's black bean cakes and huevos borrachos or just for short their "drunken eggs". I'm really not sure how they came up with this wonderful creation. Very simple ingredients, eggs, chorizo, tortillas and beans used to create a masterpiece of a plate. The black beans were very delicious and commented the main dish very well. You basically have two masa tortillas covered with eggs, I chose over easy, topped with chorizo and smothered in their adobo sauce with queso fresco sprinkled on top and sour cream with a side of sliced avocado and cherry tomatoes. The adobo sauce wasn't spicy, still very delicious. Cloud 9 for sure with every bite. Everyone was very chill and welcoming. Food didn't take long to arrive and everything tasted great. I'll definitely be back! read more

Have you ever seen a more perfect stack of pancakes? Light, fluffy, adorned with berries and cumquat and sprinkled with a bit of powdered sugar to achieve the perfect level of sweetness. There are several excellent breakfast places in Andersonville but, in my book, M. Henry claims the top spot. They have such an inventive menu, with items like a dandelion, shallot and leek omelette or blackberry bliss cakes. There are plenty of veggie vegan and gluten free options too. Go to M. Henry for the great food and excellent service, but go early or you'll be waiting for a table. It's worth getting up earlier for breakfast at this place. You won't be disappointed. read more

Yummy breakfast! After seeing this little neighborhood spot on multiple lists of the best breakfast joints in Chicago, I decided to venture north to check it out for myself. I stopped in for a late breakfast around 10:30 on a Friday morning and there was no wait. I had the rustic peasant quiche, which was absolutely delicious. It came stuffed with bacon, cheese, asparagus and artichoke, with a generous berry and mixed greens salad on the side. My husband had the special omelet of the day, jerk shrimp-- who knew sweet juicy shrimp would be a good complement to fluffy eggs?! It totally worked. As our dessert we shared an order of the blackberry bliss pancakes. The pancakes were fluffy but a little dry-- luckily the sauces and abundant fresh berries saved the dish. Service was quick and friendly. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area! read more

Attractive, welcoming restaurant in Edgewater (now North Andersonville), an ideal spot for breakfast or brunch. Over our four recent visits we tried a variety of entrees including the killer fried egg sandwich (toasted sour boule with two eggs, applewood bacon, plum tomatoes, and gorgonzola, served with house potatoes) the latina omeletta (two eggs, black beans, plum tomatoes, sour cream, cheddar, onions, cilantro, topped with chipotle sauce and served with plantains and house potatoes), the blackberry bliss cakes (hotcakes layered with warm blackberries and vanilla mascarpone cream), and the fresh fruit crepes. Our favorites were the latina omeletta and the pancakes. Tasty food, handsome decor, excellent, attentive service. m.henry also offers a variety of bakery goods, none of which we tried but all of which looked tempting and delicious. read more
