Every time I've gone in people working and eating there have been friendly, it's my favorite new place to eat at. Bring some friends and check it out. They also do catering!!

We here staying at a hotel nearby and wanted a real breakfast. Two coffees and two breakfasts cost us $47 without tip. The service was great and our waitress friendly.

Let's start with the great…read more.. Location is easy to find. 30 minutes from my home, but people online love it, so we took the drive. No wait. Seated right away on a Saturday morning and we were seated where we wanted for college football viewing purposes. Capacity was at about a third of the restaurant. Friendly staff. Everyone we encountered was nice and wanted to be helpful. We had the Sara(h)s...one was training the other and they were very kind. It is so clean inside. I felt like the staff had been well trained in front of house upkeep which was really nice. The acai bowl and seasonal pistachio iced latte had great flavors. But... Hot coffee and iced latte came out about ten minutes apart. This is a pet peeve of my husband's. He doesn't want to receive and start to enjoy his food and drinks until I receive mine. I was also raised that you don't start at the table until everyone has everything, so this was not the best start. (I know that's not how it always works out, but a couple minutes and good communication can make this a reality most of the time.) The avocado toast came out with the cream of chicken and rice soup. The soup is not a cream based soup. It's a very thin, mostly clear broth with some form of dairy added, but never would it be considered a "cream of" soup. It did not deliver and unfortunately we sent it back. The toast was a plain bagel (as the option requested), but if that bagel hit a toaster on the way out, there was no indication once it hit the plate. Room temperature without any color on it whatsoever. The avocado spread had a little seasoning so that made it a little less underwhelming. Those items arrived together which were both for my husband and when we asked about my food, we learned it was being dressed at the coffee station. Our kind server came by and told us it was almost ready two more times (it was an açaí bowl). I asked about my extra crispy bacon and was told they would check on it. The açaí bowl eventually arrived and it was well thought out and very flavorful. But no bacon and my husband was done eating by now. So I asked for containers and the bacon in a to-go container. The bacon had obviously been rushed and was undercooked with white fat clearly still visible. Our server said the manager took off the bacon and the soup, but never bothered to stop by and say anything. That was a service fail in my eyes. It wasn't really about the money. It was about what appeared to be training issues in FOH, BOH and coordination across the board. $30 plus $12 tip, we had two coffees, a small açaí bowl, avocado on a bagel (not toasted) and undercooked bacon. Not on the repeat list at this point in time. I imagine if people are honest about the areas of improvement, this business could thrive. The full bar, fun coffee drinks, biscuits that LOOK amazing, location and sweet staff could make this work. I hope they do.

They've only been open for a few weeks, and I think that they are off to a great start. From their…read morecoffee flights to their acai bowls, definitely a great concept. Let me first start by telling you that I was very impressed with their menu. I really went there for the chilaquiles, and they were delicious.. The tortillas were perfect And obviously the key to chilaquilas is the sauce and it was also perfect .. I will definitely be going back....I then ordered the House made biscuit and chicken... A little critiquing. Just my opinion. I did order a side of sausage gravy, I believe that it needed a little more flavor was a little bland.. But the biscuit was excellent and being that it was one of the top specials, I would have preferred fresh chicken tenders....... I did like the cube seasoned potatoes... I have to say when I'm searching online for a breakfast place. I'm honestly looking for a place that has fresh hash browns... I know it's hard labor and sometimes not consistent as opposed to the Frozen but you just can't beat fresh hash browns, especially when all you do is breakfast..... Just my opinion... I also threw in a lunch item which was the crispy chicken salad made into a wrap...... Was also good. Not a fan of the ranch dressing though... But honestly they do breakfast. It's nice that they carry lunch items but I did like their french fries...... I like that they have a mix menu .. from huevos rancheros to biscuits and gravy.... I saw on their website their avocado toast.. which I may try next time.. So overall it was a good breakfast.. I think the owners did a great job. I hope you don't mind a little constructive criticism. The place was beautifully designed... I love the simplicity and the beauty of the menu.... Now for the service I chose to go in there at 1:00 when it was a little bit more slower.. I read the reviews. They were a little hard on the employees unfortunately. Customers don't understand that when opening up a new place it takes a little time for the employees and the employers to learn to work together You have a kitchen staff working with new menus. It just takes a little time to get all the kinks out so give them a chance.. hopefully your first day wasn't on the weekend, better to have open up during the week having a soft opening. Unfortunately, you only have one chance to make a good impression in some customers'eyes ... We were greeted by the host or maybe she was a server. I had the pleasures of being served by Ali . He seemed a little nervous but honestly did a wonderful job.. It seems like a nice crew, I hope this place does well... Oh one more thing I know. I'm sorry... The water. Ugh. I live in Lockport and there's no way of drinking the water, I guess Crest Hill has the same problem ... assuming the table water is tap. You may want to use the Coke machine water. It is filtered!

We were out in this are before work because we both have very busy work days with calls and…read moremeetings. I am a vegan, and keep a vegetarian kitchen. My husband likes meat, so we go out to eat fairly often so that my husband can get the foods that I do not allow in the house. We went to Niko's Breakfast Club and my husband loved it. There was truly nothing for me to eat except hashbrowns. They were very good, but it would have been nice if they had at least a few vegan options. Vegetarians always have plenty to eat at a breakfast spot. I believe that eggs and hashbrowns (no toast) are suitable for Celiac/gluten-free diets. They do have one gluten-free pancake. The service was fantastic! 5 stars, but they need to expand their menu offerings for people of different dietary needs/choices. Personally, we would not return due to the distance but mostly because they have nothing for me to eat.

No I have ate TONS of breakfast places and had only veggies heated up honestly. I can name 6 places in orland, Bolingbrook, Naperville, Joliet, romeoville, I can eat just "veggie skillet no egg, no cheese" and it taste just fine. Ordered it and after few bites did not taste fresh, in fact tasted dry? And frozen. I got almost sick IMMEDIATELY. Mind you I paid " like "$20+" for this. My stomach was so messed up, I wanted to Vomit. Also note my boyfriend ordered Cheesey Egg Omelette, and also refused to eat it after 4 bites. it's not just my meal. Maybe what we ordered was just not the freshest veggie, or egg, or cheese, or... ? I don't know what the heck happened but $47 down the drain. 3 bites each. We asked for a check and walked out. I hate to leave a bad review but atleast the $5 strawberry juice, which was you know... not really fresh or juice was just flavored water, no sugar, was decent. ALSO, my boyfriend did like the pancakes. So... just order the pancakes Service was alright. Ambiance was alright. Food, personally I wouldn't come back. Even if you paid me. My stomach hurt so bad. The place looks nice tho, and lots of options, just don't take anyone who you love there, maybe an enemy.
