Came here on a Saturday morning with my daughter. Our server, Jennifer, was friendly and fast. Food came so quickly that I thought they had the wrong table. Perfect location for a delicious breakfast. Definitely recommend the waffle flight - perfect amount if you just want to sample without the size commitment. read more

First timer at Syrup and wow was it a great experience. Was able to be seated immediately on a Sunday morning and the solid service continued throughout. Our table of four could barely fit all of the plates. Very generous portions and everything tasted wonderful. Recommend & will repeat. read more

Best breakfast I have had in the area! My kids really enjoyed their food and I felt like the kid's menu was super simple which was perfect for children. I absolutely loved the Peach Bellini- it was so fresh and flavorful! The Chicken & Waffle was a 9/10- I wish the chicken was a little more seasoned but other than that it was delicious. Our server Ali was super accommodating and friendly she went above and beyond with our large party and made ordering with multiple families with kids simple. I live the decor and vibes of this place- it's definitely a perfect little spot for every type of occasion. read more

I recently went to this breakfast place and I have to say, the customer service was fantastic. Everyone working there was so friendly and welcoming. We arrived about 1.5 hours before closing, but they didn't make us feel rushed at all. The greeter was able to seat us right away and our waitress took our orders promptly. I love going to Syrup due to the variety of breakfast options they had available. Everything on the menu seems to be made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. They have really unique selections ranging from Mexican inspired flavors to Mediterranean salads to Maui French toast. The diverse menu definitely caters to all kinds of cravings. Although this place may be a bit pricier than some other breakfast spots, the portions are big and definitely worth it. My boyfriend and I decided to split the strawberry waffles and they were absolutely delicious. The waffles were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with fresh strawberries and powdered sugar on top. My boyfriend opted for the breakfast sliders and he was quite impressed with them too. They were savory and flavorful with perfectly cooked eggs. Meanwhile, I went for the burger and it did not disappoint. The patty was thick and juicy with a great crispy crust and melted pepper jack cheese. The burger was cooked to perfection and served with a side of crispy waffle fries. Also, the parking lot was huge which made it super easy to find parking. The location in Aurora was definitely bigger than the one in St. Charles, so it was nice to have more space to spread out while eating. read more

I paid $30 for two orders of overcooked poached Eggs Benedict. Sadly Eggs Benedict with runny yolks is not on the menu. See Pictures. I am very disappointed and will not be returning. My husband and I used to go to Colonial Cafe for breakfast. We decided to splurge and try Syrup. What we got was two orders of overpriced Eggs Benedict, all four of our poached eggs were overcooked. In the past when I ordered Eggs Benedict from Colonial Cafe the yolks were always nice and runny. Very disappointed with Syrup. read more

Syrup is such a great breakfast place in Aurora! For those that know Buttermilk in Naperville, they basically could be twins with similar clean bright aesthetics and fun menus. I came in on a Friday morning with a friend and it surprisingly wasn't too busy. I ordered the Cluck Cluck Skillet ($16) which was pretty ginormous. I think the only thing I didn't expect was the bacon to be more so of a garnish on the chicken rather than incorporated throughout the dish. But still an excellent portion and very tasty! I think though next time I will try one of their eggs benedict. Prices were fair for portion sizes. Service was top notch, our waiter anticipated our needs and was very friendly. We weren't rushed even though we finished eating and already paid our bill and wanted to stay and chit chat. Overall, a great experience! I'd come back more often if it wasn't so far from my house. Please support this local business! read more

The inside is cute and rustic farmhouse style. Previously when coming here I tried the biscuits and gravy and it wasn't great. My second time here I got the skillet and French toast. It was MUCH better. Definitely enough food for two people. Our waitress was excellent and very attentive. read more

Food was amazing. Service was amazing. Overall this was a great visit. I have not been at Syrup since they changed over from Colonial and I couldn't be more happy. This is close to home and easy to get to. Went on Saturday and there was zero wait at 9am which is great. Service was fast and she got everything we needed. Food came out quick and was fresh, hot and most importantly, tasty!!! 10/10 would recommend and will be back! read more

Came here for a Sunday brunch with the boyfriend and it wasn't up to our standard. The interior design is gorgeous and refreshing but the food wasn't all that for us. We ordered the chicken and waffle which looked delicious but tasted so bland with no seasoning on the chicken. Such a disappointment. We also ordered the waffle and sides of potatoes, eggs, and sausages. It was basic. Nothing too special about it. For the mimosa, just order the regular orange juice. No need to try the other flavor ones cause they just taste like orange juice. Wished we liked this spot. read more

We lovey coming to Syrup! We have been to this location as well as st Charles and both are great. We were greeted right away and sat. I love that there are so many tables, especially for a breakfast spot. The decor is a cute farmhouse chic look. Our sever was very attentive and sweet and the food was good. My favorite part was the cinnamon butter on the French toast. Totally out of this world good! read more

I was SO very excited to try Syrup! We ordered so many things and didn't realize or read anywhere that the portions are HUGE. Great service, great ambiance. I absolutely love the decor in here. Less is more. I love how big my iced vanilla latte was! We ordered a hot Carmel macchiato as well. For breakfast we ordered the cinnamon swirl pancakes. If you are debating about ordering these find someone to share them with. Photos can't really show how big the portions are. My husband ordered the biscuits and gravy with sausage and eggs. It came with potatoes as well. All really great, but again, portions were some of the biggest I've seen lately. Thank you for the lovely service and getting us in n out so quickly! read more

5 STAR REVIEW FOR DANIEL!!!! It was super busy at 10am and Daniel was the most sweetest person on earth!!! I was having such a horrible day today and had to travel at 3am to visit my grandfather who was having an emergency heart surgery and I never thought to encounter such a sweetheart like Daniel! I traveled from nyc and i was super tired and upset and angry but Daniel took care of me when other employees didn't even acknowledge me! Will be returning every morning until my departure just to experience Daniel's amazing customer support! Definitely recommended this spot if you're around the area! Ask for Daniel, he is wonderful person inside and out and will leave an impact on you. I've worked customer service before and I know it's hard to be nice sometimes but Daniel is a must have and should receive a promotion and raise! He is doing such an amazing job, thank you so much daniel!!!! See you soon read more

I went to this restaurant with a friend about 2 weeks ago and we had an amazing experience. The inside decor is beautiful and warm, our waitress Kari was the best and knew a lot about the menu, and the food was great!! I had the Home Sweet Home skillet which was very flavorful! I couldn't resist also getting the Funky Monkey French toast which melted in my mouth! I also had a nitro brew tail, the Tiramisu Twist which was good! My friend also loved her food! I will definitely be back very soon!! read more

This is an absolutely exceptional breakfast spot! Not sure if it's the same owners as the Colonial Café's they took over, but it's definitely a new endeavor! Huge portions, great tasting food, wonderful presentation! There's really just nothing negative that I can say about this one. If you're going out for breakfast, you should 100% drop by Syrup! On top of that, we had an awesome waitress with some very colorful hair that was super friendly and super helpful! Loved everything about this one! Keep it up! read more

Fabulous breakfast food! It was just two of us for breakfast this morning and I loved every bite of food. We were seated right away in a booth and the booths have extended plastic divider between them for covid. Our waitress was fantastic and right on top of everything we needed and sometimes before we even asked. My son had fluffy pancakes and a sausage link and I had a updated version of a typical Eggs Benedict and now I don't think I can ever go back to Canadian bacon the smoke salmon was the perfect match to the poached egg. The portion was so large I was able to take half of it home to have breakfast tomorrow as well. The best part of my breakfast was the fresh strawberry orange juice it was so delicious and refreshing it tasted like something you would drink on vacation! I was eyeing the lunch menu and everything sounded like some thing I would enjoy I will definitely be back for breakfast or even lunch again soon read more

Syrup - Aurora - Two huge Benedict with smoked salmon on them! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

oh suh-weet jumping jeez. I think I get my keenest culinary frissons when we roll onto a superior breakfast joint. Any pinhead can fry up some eggiwegs and bacon, but show me a joint where there is someone really cooking in the kitchen, and it's off to the races. The previous tenants, "Colonial Cafe" were pretty much there. Stuff out of the ordinary on the Menu with decent coffee. I always enjoyed. Syrup, however, is a step up from THAT. I didn't file my review immediately, as I wanted to course through the menu making sure I just wasnt starry-eyed on our first visit. Wife is a traditionalist, the 3 x 3 is her regular, and she remains the control example for every joint we go to. She has given her "thumbs-up" to the Eggs/Bacon/french toast thing which she orders each time. A note about the bacon--it is top top notch. You can skip the "Billion Dollar Bacon" side order for $7.50. It's gilding the lily--the regular rashers are totally fab enough! Back to me: So far, I've been through the Smoked Salmon Bagel with a shmear. I couldn't understand the cubic shit-ton of Rocket/Argula they put on the plate. I like greens, but this was a little overstated. Didn't mar the quality of the rest of the meal, though. I sent back enough foliage to make a decent salad... They have a home-made patty sausage that is divine. Other high-end brekky boîtes do this too, but many times the patty is overcooked and can be chewy and dry. Not here. Syrup's patty is a little smaller, but cooked just right-porky and tasty. Perfect with eggs or anything else. I came to eggiwegs later in life and have never been an aficionado for Benedicts. I always say "Every theory needs a corollary" and I have ordered every Benedict on the menu. They are all tip-top. As they say...go figure. I'm not a pancake eater, but true to my silly tastes, I've never met a waffle I didn't like. They have a quartet of mini-waffles here on a sampler, each with a different topping. You'd think this would be a diabetic gateway, with all the sweet stuff indicated. Here's the juice: This plate is gorgeous, and it's "just enough". You never get that cloying "ooh that was WAY too much" one sometimes gets from an outrageous plate. Transparency-I always get an order of the afore-mentioned patty sausage as a savory buffer. Do it that way-trust me. I have a pal, a serious eater who also dabbles in network television audio. He calls this waffle dish "crack". You can get any of the four toppings on a full-size Belgian, if desired. I prefer the variety and portion of the sampler, though. Speaking of Pancakes/Waffles; They bring out fine trad maple syrup and a flask of some pearlescent goo which should be submitted for the nobel prize. Butter/sugar and fuck-all else but who cares? This syrup is a triumph! A few things to gripe about, however. The Mexican things aren't quite up to the level of the rest of the menu. Their "Crispy Seasoned Potatoes"...aren't really crispy...or seasoned. The only loser on the menu-even when you get the "loaded" option. I swing with the excellent grits. There's a "cheesy" option, which I don't get, 'cos the plain grits are great by themselves. Says a lot when you can leave "cheese" off an order. A few more bugaboos-There are salt and pepper shakers on the tables that look identical. You can't tell which one is which, unless you shake them out. The one with a tiny bit of white stuff falling from it is the salt, and the one with nothing coming out is the pepper. Good thing most of the stuff offered here doesn't need table seasoning. And that ambrosial white pancake sauce I spoke of earlier is presented in a flask that barely dispenses it. I have to pull the topper off and pour it on my dish, leaving my hand sticky and such. Some of these are lapses in logic I can't understand coming from a joint that does so much else so well. The coffee is great, and there are boozy treats available though I haven't dared try any of them... Yet. I'll have a cocktail with breakfast in New Orleans (It's the LAW there). But I'll opt for good behavior here in the hood. The service is great, the restrooms are spotless, and the place is bright and cheerful. Expect lines, though--this joint ain't no secret... read more

My family and I have dined at the Syrup in Aurora several times, the service is always great and the food is delicious! They offer a variety of beverages to choose from, the coffee bar macchiato, and the sea salted carmel frappes are my favorites. I recommend the restaurant. read more

Buttermilk in Geneva move over!!!! Syrup is giving you some serious competition. Syrup has plenty of parking and has a modern look. We stopped in on a Sunday during there busiest hour and the wait for 2 was about 25 minutes. Not bad!!!! Note they do not do phone or online reservations or Yelp check-ins but don't let this keep you away from what you can experience. They sat us exactly about 25 minutes and the place looks amazing. We started out breakfast with two freshly squeezed juices. One a strawberry orange and the other just plain orange. They were soooooooo good and fresh. We paired our juices with the Cluck Cluck Chicken skillet and a 2 egg classic breakfast. Man..... there they are fast!!!! Both were excellent. Portions are pretty big and ohhh those flavors. We wrapped up our breakfast with their signature million dollar bacon. Talk about mouth watering. They are so rich in flavor. We only ate 2 of the 4 and save two for later in the day. Yum....... Our server Tara was great. Our experience was nothing more than perfection. Clean, organized, good service and most of all good food. 5 star all day!!!!! Note: There is no outdoor seating so be prepared to stand outside or sit in your car. Would be nice if the would place benches along the strip mall but that would be left to the city or property owner. read more

Ok. Let me just tell you. My husband and I would always go to the Saint Charles location and when we found out they were remodeling the Colonial Cafe to SYRUP RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO OUR HOUSE! Probably the happiest I've been about a breakfast/brunch spot since I moved from the city! No joke guys this place is absolutely amazing. Starting with service they are fast, funny, nice and helpful. Food has always been served hot! There are so many different food options on this menu but so far my favorite is their CHILAQUILES oh man, and their AVOCADO TOAST! Their Garden Benedict is fresh and delightful too! The pancakes and the HOMEMADE "syrup" .... you can drink the syrup it's that good! All in all y'all this place is it. For those in the Aurora area that are sad Colonial is gone, don't be! It is a family oriented place, the "Colonial" himself passed the baton down to a family member that made it into SYRUP, so it's still in the family! makes me love the place even more! read more

Oh I wanted to much to like this place. We used to live up north so we loved going to the Algonquin location and were happy to find out we still lived near one when we moved to Yorkville. We started out good. We were seated right away around noon on Saturday. We ordered our food and it came out promptly. I had the Legendary Breakfast with the Bananza waffles. Everything was good but you should try to remove the excess liquid from poached eggs because otherwise it turns to soup. Not so enjoyable. The waffles were delicious. My husband ordered the carnivore skillet which was huge. We asked them to note that he has a dairy allergy so they didn't put any cheese. Not sure what might have happened but shortly after we left he had an allergic reaction that warranted a trip to the ER. It must have been cross-contamination. We realize this is a risk when eating out but we go to many other restaurants, including other Syrup locations, with no issue. Please be more careful and considerate to food allergies. If other restaurants can do it then there's room to improve. read more

Currently fighting for my life on the way home.. best breakfast I've had in a minute frfr and the portions are insane. My wife literally almost crashed the car rn from the "-itis". Our waitress was awesome, food came faster than a jr high student. Something about this experience made me feel like a farm animal, and I'm here for it. The restaurant was cleaner than a Mormon's toxicology report and the vibes were serving that big C word. 10/10 would recommend, any review less than a 5 was probably written by a nerd/virgin. read more

Love the quick efficient service and orange juice strawberry. It pairs nicely with lemon berry crepes!

Undercooked and then overcooked my food. Left the restaurant hungry. Our server was apologetic and kindly removed it from our bill.

Wait time was more than hour, they had empty tables but were very slow. Service was not good. Coffee was cold. Food took a very long time to arrive after ordering. Raspberry lemon pancakes were good, but extremely sweet. Overall food was mediocre at best. read more
