Delicious blueberry pancakes! Maria my waitress was so friendly and welcoming. My new favorite place for breakfast.

Great food, great prices and Maria our server was awesome. The avocado toast with egg and bacon is the bomb!! read more

Let me start off by saying that everything was fantastic. The staff were very friendly, the service was quick, the interior was clean, the food was well seasoned, and the price point was excellent. Traditional Chilaquiles had a good kick to it. The potatoes were crispy and had a nice saltiness to it. Biscuit and gravy were also very good. It was a cute, simple restaurant that I recommend. read more

Great place for breakfast in Carol Stream! The staff was welcoming. The menu offers a variety of options including avocado toast, oatmeal, American breakfast plate, pancakes, crepes, French toasts, waffles, chilaquiles, omelets, skillets, benedicts, and sandwiches. French vanilla cappuccino $3 - Probably made from power, but delicious. Banana Nutella crepe $10 - Crepes were light and fluffy and banana slices were fresh. BYO Skillet $14 - Well seasoned skillet. The monogrammed M powder sugar on the pancakes was a nice touch. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2024 read more

A million stars. Hands down the best breakfast I've had in a long long time. The staff is so friendly, everything is clean, and the chocolate chip pancakes and biscuits and gravy were absolutely incredible. Good for kids, I couldn't rave more about it!! read more

Friendly staff, wonderful home cooking at reasonable prices in a cute coffee shop. Was in the Winfield area and stumbled along this gem. My husband and I were looking for something quick. I had the traditional chilaquiles with green sauce and Joe had the avocado toast. Both were really tasty options and would definitely go back to try their soup and other sandwiches. While we were there at least 5-7 regulars came in just for their chicken and rice soup or their Cuban sandwich. read more

Awesome and very comfortable environment. It's a pretty small restaurant but that didn't take away from the good experience. My boyfriend and I were just driving around the area looking for cafes. Went on Yelp and found this restaurant so we went and gave it a try. The server was very nice and welcoming. I got the biscuits and gravy with a side of bacon, and my bf got the meat lovers skillet with a side of fruits. Pretty good food, can't say its the best.. but really good and satisfying for a small restaurant. The fruits that were served were not your typical watermelons, cantaloupes etc. they gave us blue berries, strawberries, raspberries and blackberries. Food came quick as well! read more

I went here about 10:15 for a late breakfast. Due to the middling time there was no one else in the cafe. I came out here to have a Mexican style breakfast, most likely the chilaquiles, but when I saw the description for the chori-papas skillet, I went with that. Unfortunately, when my breakfast was served, I was confused by the eggs on top. I had ordered over medium, and what I got was a thin layer of scrambled eggs, which looked more like a frittata. My server apologized and was getting ready to whisk it away, but I told her not to bother, scrambled eggs would be good enough. As it turned out though, these were not my idea of scrambled eggs. I prefer them nice and fluffy, and they make them more like a frittata, or omelette half. Okay, so enough about that snafu. She had kindly and quickly offered to fix it, but I declined. That's on me. The potatoes, peppers, tomatoes and chorizo were strikingly fresh, vibrant looking colors and cooked to perfection! The pancakes were not only attractive, they were very tasty. This cafe is not near my home, so who knows when I'll be there again. But if I did live nearby, I'd make this a regular stop. There is a nice variety of food offerings on their menu to try out. The people are nice, and the chef/cook does a wonderful job, using fresh ingredients. read more

Where has this place been all my life!! Loved the Eggs Veggie Benedict !! The coffee was amazing and the service was great!

We've been trying different breakfast places for a while in the area, and I think we found our new favorite place. The food was so good, the pancakes tasted amazing (not made from a box like most places do). The staff is so friendly and polite. This is probably one of the cheapest places we've been to and the best-tasting food. We are definitely going back. read more

I love manny's cafe, all their savory options are amazing, but I rate breakfast spots based on their pancakes. And let me tell you these are some of the best pancakes I've had from a restaurant. Add in some blueberries and it's next level. The service is also amazing, the servers are all kind and welcoming. read more

Delicious fresh breakfast served by a very friendly staff. We had the avocado toast and chilaquiles Verda. They were a treat. Can't wait to return and try more. read more

This hidden gem in a strip mall is AMAZING! We love Chilaquiles and hav tried at several restaurants and hands down Manny makes the BEST. Also the fruit filled crepes are to die for. Really everything is great but we are creatures of habit and always crave his chilaquiles. Make sure you order the Southern style. read more

This is a hidden gem. It is tiny. 7 tables or so. But in our experience, you can likely get one of those tables and have some really great food at good prices. I am not often a fan of chilaquiles. It seems like the tortilla too often ends up wet and soggy. But today I tries the chilaquiles rojas. Flavorful, crunchy, a little spicy. Good eggs with sour cream and cheese. Ooh and a bit of pickled red onion. A great breakfast that made my 11 year old daughter ask if we could come back tomorrow, LOL. We also ordered an egg white fritata with tomato, spinach, mushroom, goat cheese and it was great. Waffle and pancakes were also good. And they have some of the better coffee around. Servers were good and very nice. Cozy place that we will be visting again! read more

The hubs and I found this place via Yelp reviews, and it did not let us down. The staff was very welcoming and took their time explaining their recommendations. We decided to order coffee, and the Chilaquiles with a medium done steak, and the brioche French toast. First off, the coffee was some of the best we've ever had. Not bitter at all and so incredibly smooth. We mentioned it to our server and he stated that it's a special blend and they knew the grower and where the coffee comes from. The food came out quickly, and everything was cooked perfectly. The flavor of the chilaquiles was insanely delicious and the steak was cooked to our liking and had a lot of flavor as well! The French toast was great afterwards as a sweet treat with the syrup. The price for everything was great too. For 2 coffees, and 2 main dishes with the added steak, the total was just shy of $40, not bad. Overall, it was a great experience and we'll be coming back often. read more

Simple, friendly, clean and tasty. Nice neighborhood breakfast eats. Only 7 table tops so there may be a wait at rush times, but it's worth it. read more

The biscuits and gravy were soooo good! We also got the chocolate chip pancakes and they were perfect.

I'm a truck driver from out of town and when u tell you I'm so lucky to come across the hidden gem! Food was exceptional, restaurant clean and the service was impeccable read more

Chef's kiss to Manny and crew. I have no pictures to back this up, but that was one of the best brunches I've ever had. Don't mind the unassuming interior. You will not regret coming here. Food, service, price. This place checks all boxes. Get the Southern Style Chilaquiles. The chips in it were so fresh and delicious. Can't go wrong with a skillet either. You get a short stack of pancakes as a side! All for $14! Alright, I've said enough. Go there now. read more

Went here for a birthday breakfast. The food was very good and reminded of the traditional diner. The waitress was so kind and nice. Everything was great and the prices were reasonable. I enjoyed the setting of the place too. It reminded of the diners I learned to love in the city. Nice job! read more

This is a decent venue. We have been here twice now. Both times they did not have items on the menu that we ordered. They were out. This is not a way to run a business! That being said, the food was good and the people are very personable. Definitely a place to go. read more

I really like their Chilaquiles, green or red, they're both good. The waitress was terrific, very friendly and attentive. Small place with only a handful of tables. Definitely work a try for a yummy Mexican breakfast. They do serve traditional American breakfast, but I'm a big fan of Mexican dishes, so I haven't tried the eggs and hash browns type here. read more

From the moment we walked in the service was welcoming. We had The chilaquiles, crepes, skillet and pancakes... it was so good. The chilaquiles verdes were the star of the show. You could taste the quality and freshness in every dish. We will be back for sure read more

Food really good not much ambiance service great food and service great not a lot of seating

One of the last great Jewish diner/delis left. This place must be cherished. Prices are a little high, but you just can't find this kind of food anymore. This is still a highly recommended establishment if you want that old time, corned beef or pastrami on rye, and a great matzoh ball soup. read more

Excellent food. Always fresh and tasty. This is a small place, but we'll worth going there, especially for Breakfast

The food is so delicious it feels like heaven on your tongue, and the staff are so friendly and welcoming they take pride in their service, and overall just an amazing experience with a friendly atmosphere. read more

Phenomenal breakfast! Everything from the prompt and friendly greeting to the food...*chef's kiss*. I ordered the Greek omelette. It was so fresh, flavorful and packed with spinach, feta, sweetest tomatoes and onion. Every ingredient was incorporated to ensure something was in each bite. The pancakes and syrup were d really delicious,too. Looking forward to returning to try more dishes on the menu. Truly a hidden gem! read more

Great food, great service and very fair prices. It's a small place, so you may need to wait for a table, but it's worth the wait.

I discovered Manny's Cafe while exploring the area and was thoroughly impressed. One of their staff greeted me warmly upon arrival and was incredibly kind. I ordered the veggie skillet, which was phenomenal, and the toast with homemade jelly was a delightful extra. Actually everything they have on their menu looks really delicious and top-notch. I will definitely return if I'm in the area again. Also, will explore their menu. Thank you for starting my day off wonderfully! read more

This is definitely a dive like atmosphere but the food is amazing and tasty. There's not a ton of seating but they usually have some tables available. Their avo toast is solid. And they have a nice variety of brunch type of food. I like this place a lot and I think it's definitely worth trying if you're on the fence It took me way too long read more

We ordered breakfast takeout and we thought everything was delicious. My husband and I split and order of biscuits and gravy & avocado toast. The gravy had a little kick and was flavorful. The toast was yummy w the apricot jam layered on the bottom. Our kids devoured their chocolate chip pancakes and All American Breakfast w thick sliced bacon. My mom loves the BYO omelette and chunks of sausage. I used to go to this space when it used to be an Italian deli. I am thrilled the great customer service and legacy of yummy food continues. No photos we ate it so fast! read more
