    Been here a couple times now and me and my wife both agree that is a pretty good place for food. We've had breakfast both times. The food is always cooked well and looks delicious. Omg, the beef short rid breakfast bowl was so good!Of course the food actually taste delicious as well. The service was professional. Our server was very nice and patient. They have complimentary valet parking (tip your valet guy). We will be back.

    Berry crepe

    It was my second visit to this restaurant and it was a very good experience. We had a family brunch. I ordered the berry crepes. My brother had the corned beef sandwich, his wife had the Monte cristo sandwich and my nephew had the Denver omelette. Everyone enjoyed their meal, the service was excellent. We will definitely return.

    I love this breakfast brunch lunch place . The server sets are most accomodating ! Friendly and kind to my sister with ADA needs . It's a family style type resturant . I like the patio indoor seating arrangement . Board menu things to choose from. Great signature coffees and petite desserts .

    Hot Chocolate

    Solid option for breakfast. My uncle took my sisters here last time and decided to take all of us plus my cousin to check it out. It was a bit past 9am on a Monday so there were groups here and there but no wait for a table. Free coffee refills which was nice. I ordered the breakfast tacos: eggs, pico, chorizo, hold the sour cream. I added avocado and it came with salsa verde on the side. Generous on the eggs! Typically breakfast tacos can be kinda skimpy. I was pretty full! My table mates got: huevos rancheros, ham and cheese omelet with pancakes, one of the skillet bowls, and the sweet cafe egg plate (eggs, fruit, chocolate pancakes) with bacon. Food was delicious. Good portion sizes for the price. One of my sisters tried the hot chocolate. She enjoyed it! The server told us that she could get a to go cup if needed and that if we needed another refill on coffee to go we could do that too. Not bad! The server actually remembered my sisters although they hadn't been there in 4-5 months ish? Love that! Great service here! Not a ton of parking spots in their parking lot but there's lots of street parking. Can't wait to come back!

    Chicken sausage omelet with egg whites and multi grain toast.  Extra Yummy

    I've been a huge supporter of SC since they opened. I haven't been in for a while and today we stopped in and I have to say I was tremendously underwhelmed. One of the people in my party ordered a Poe Boy sandwich and fries. The sandwich was cold and lacked flavor and the fries were cold. I had an omelette and another person had a veggie omelette. The food was disappointing. The service was average and the price was high. To say I was surprised would be accurate. C mon guys , I know you can do better !

    Extensive menu with breakfast + lunch options. Good food; staff are friendly. Parking is tough, but it's Chicago.

    Mediterranan Benedict
    Khadijah H.

    Visited 11/09/2024: I came here for breakfast with my friend on an early Saturday morning. Upon entry, I checked in and was seated. Chileeee the decor, ambiance and scenery and quite gorgeous. I mean whoever did the layout, did an amazing job. There's also a bakery to the side when you first enter. Looks like something out of a magazine. Our server was sweet and patient with us as we selected what we were interested in. I decided on the Mediterranean Benedict. Our food arrived to us fairly quickly. I liked the dish but I felt the benefit lacked depth and texture. It all felt slimy and squishy. I believe chopping up the spinach instead of globs of it would've helped. I didn't feel the flavors meshed together. They just sat on top one another. The hash browns could've been cooked/ grilled much longer and a pinch of salt couldn't hurt. I'm inclined to return to try another dish and a pastry as the portions I saw from other tables were quite large.

    This was an overall great experience. The service was very fast and food was so yummy. The servers were all so kind and helpful. . They also offered complementary valet parking which is amazing.

    Chose this spot for weekend breakfast with a friend who lives in Chicago. It was a nice halfway point via drive for the two of us. Parking was limited in their lot; certainly there is not enough parking to even half fill their dining room. When the bank next door is closed, they allow customers to use that parking lot as well. We had to use street parking. When we arrived, seating for our party of three was quick, just two minutes(!), and service was similarly fast. We ordered within 5 minutes of receiving our menus and the servers were good at checking in on us regularly. The food was delicious, especially my Brussels sprouts salad. The chorizo hash bowl was also a hit, but we found the veggie bowl to be drastically understated. Prices were low for a Chicago suburb and the food was fresh quality. Would absolutely return for some good eats and hometown corner restaurant atmosphere.

    Great new place - many food options - didn't have an appetite but kids did - we'll be back to try the eggs

    Famous Ham Off the Bone
    Caitlin T.

    Food: 8/10 It took about 10-20 minutes for the food to arrive. The ham off the bone had a smoky and a bit sweet flavor. Best ham that I've ever eaten! The chicken paired well with the sriracha aioli sauce, and the waffles became spicy after putting the spicy Memphis syrup on top of it. The guiltless omelette was delicious and had many sorts of vegetables and meats put in it. The steak and eggs were juicy and woke me up in this beautiful morning of St. Patty's day. Lastly, the Nutella crepe satisfied my sweet tooth craving and had a lot of strawberries in it. Every dish was presented beautifully for a breakfast house. Service: 10/10 We were seated right away! Hostesses were very kind and attentive. Ambiance: 10/10 It was very brightly lit and very modern inside. There was even outdoor seating! The bathrooms were surprisingly nice, just be wary of its size, because each bathroom is a half circle.

    Greek omelet and breakfast potatoes (love the potatoes).

With a cozy locals vibe, there was a mix of young professionals on laptops and families starting the morning. The bright aesethics of Mexican heritage and decor celebrating local artists make the space inspiring and energizing. The coffee was great. I got the horchata latte, which tasted even better than I hoped. I also ordered a El Chavo Torta, a deceptively simple sandwich that was incredibly delicious. I don't know what they put in the bread or what magical place they bought the cheese from, but my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

The staff were really welcoming, for an early morning. I got the hot chocolate. Honestly that's exactly what I needed that morning. It had that real Mexican chocolate taste. Thick, creamy, smooth and rich. The cinnamon came through warm but not too strong, plus a little extra on top that hit your nose before the first sip. Sweet and it almost had this slight earthy note too... hard to explain but good. It even had that little design on top, like the ones they do on cappuccinos. Didn't expect that but it was cool. I finished it slow. Didn't wanna rush it. Just sat there taking small sips and enjoying it while it was still hot.

    Not sure why I had not reviewed this soot earlier, I come here often, in fact I'm here right now…read more Great spot! Set in an old warehouse that is now an art gallery event space and restaurant nestled in an older warehouse district in Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago. Beautiful decor and laid out perfectly. The natural wood floors furniture ie tables chairs etc and iron work throughout sets the ambiance for old meets new. It works. The wide spacing between tables makes for a comfortable dining experience. So many folks come in to do their work and dine here. What a super addition to the neighborhood that less than a decade ago was essentially a street that was more a run down semi-truck alley. Great menu with neighborhood favorites leaning toward the old school Italian dishes. Sandwiches, soups, salads, and breakfasts just to name a few are all excellent. The pastries are insane and a must take home deal. I love the American Breakfast. Three eggs your way, thick diced America potatoes, thick cut bacon, and sourdough toast. Accompanied by what I believe to be home made jelly and for sure homemade gardiniera. Caruso's gardiniera actually. Diced into a relish unlike most standard gardiniera it's easier to eat with many dishes. Excellent flavor and just the right kick to it. FYI Dolce Arte also sells a to go line of homemade Caruso products from their gardiniera to past and past sauces and more. Yes, their coffee is really good too. Lavazza products I believe. The service is always on point. Casual but on point. Very friendly staff from diverse backgrounds. This is the place you bring people close to you, business lunches, meetings, formal ir informal, or like me, save it for myself as my own getaway spot. It's an artists dream and sets a positive time for any gathering.

Why would you not order a flight to try a variety of drinks all at once? We had the hibiscus lemonade and matcha flight, the mango con crema and banana con crema were the standouts. We went on a weekend and there was a long line but it moved pretty quickly. Limited seating space but there are also chairs and tables on the outside. Street parking available. They also offer brunch food items which we did not get to try. But overall cute shop with a variety of speciality drinks that I will definitely try in the future.

    Stockyard Coffee House in Chicago, Illinois. Overall, I really liked it. The only small downside…read morewas that it felt a bit warm inside, probably because it was already a hot day outside. The staff--at least the person who helped me--didn't feel super welcoming. Not that they were rude, just not particularly warm either. I get it though, because even I get a little irritable when it's hot, so maybe that played a part. What I love the most is that it's Latina-owned, and that's something I truly admire. I always try to support Latino entrepreneurs when they're doing things right, and this place is definitely doing something creative. We ordered two flights--one with coffee and one with matcha. Each flight comes with four small samples, and they were all seasonal fall flavors, which I thought was such a fun and unique idea. It's cool because you get to try different drinks in little cups, almost like a tasting experience. The coffee flight (we got it iced) was amazing--the flavors were bold and had that strong coffee taste I personally love. The matcha flight was also fun, but I would have preferred a stronger matcha flavor in some of them. They also have plenty of milk options--we ordered ours with oat milk and it was delicious. On top of that, they have a pretty wide food menu with bagels, sandwiches, wraps, and more. We tried the tuna sandwich and it was really good, definitely worth recommending. The café has little chairs outside, the vibe inside is cozy, and I loved that they were playing Spanish music. That's something you don't usually find in most coffee shops here, and it gave the place extra personality. The only thing I'm still unsure about is the price. For two flights (coffee + matcha) and the sandwich, the total was around $55. Maybe that's a bit expensive--or maybe it's just the nature of ordering flights, since I had never tried that before. Either way, it was worth it for the experience and the flavors. In short, it's a cute, cozy, and creative spot that's definitely worth checking out--especially if you're into seasonal flavors, want to try something unique, and love supporting Latina-owned businesses in Chicago.
