    New drink!!

    Let me start by saying the good reviews don't do this place justice. Here are just a few perks outside of the food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Parking on site, excellent wait staff, family friendly, clean, accommodating, working clean high chairs, and fresh to order food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was pleasant and the place is bright and inviting there are tables and booths available.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It is handicapped and stroller accessible. Now to the food!!! Delicious, hot, fresh out the pan, well seasoned and wonderful portion sizes. We ordered the classic French toast which hubby said it was good enough to eat without syrup. My oldest (11h had the Oreo French toast and said it was better than good! The Oreo cream on top was his fave! I had the blue your own breakfast with gas over hard, bacon and pancakes! Listen ihop has NOTHING on how good these pancakes were. Crispy edges, buttery and golden brown! Food was baby approved as my picky toddler ate without hesitation everything he was offered! They were so kind to our family and when they had extra chicken tenders from and order they brought them out to my kids for free. Finally I tried a new drink on the menu pictured below! It was an Auga Fresca with apple and lemonade and came with the cutest flower garnish! Delicious and refreshing. I can't say enough about this gem! We will be coming back! Like tomorrow! I highly recommend if you're visiting Chicago to check them out! You will not be disappointed!

    Loved this place! Not super big, but they do have parking in front. They did a great job with both their sweet and savory food options. Coffee was a little stronger than I like it, but they had different creamer options. Service was friendly.

    Went here because the fun name and stayed for the awesome food and service! I got the horchata coffee and it was the perfect balance. If you're in the area I def recommend.

    Simply delicious. Love that there is parking outside in lot in front. Fantastic service. Professional and attentive. And the food was incredible. The best waffle I have ever had. Period. And the chilaquiles was so yummy and had great spice. Would definitely go back and try many more dishes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My whole family loved![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside was super cute with grinch Christmas theme with a nice Instagram photo wall spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    These waffles are truly one of a kind- crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and full of flavor. I always look forward to them whenever I visit. The sea salt caramel ice cream is a standout too absolutely delicious, like a perfect "chef's kiss." The service is consistently excellent, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance has a cozy, welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay a while.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Food was very good, great service, Karina was amazing and funny. Little pricey but hey, how it is sometimes.

    This place is SOLID - excellent for brunch. The namesake Churro Waffle is a MUST on your visit. This is a belated review of a visit at noon on a Saturday in late April: Located in a small shopping plaza, it's not much on the outside, but - big pro for me - boasts a parking lot. Inside is a family-friendly more modern diner-esque (but slightly more crowded) vibe. There was a bit of a wait for a table for 4 on Saturday - nothing too long though. And yes, the wait was well worth it. I'm a savory brunch lover - so much so I usually forgo the sweets which can be too much for me, unless it's a well-done combo. The Bacon Waffle (substituted in Churro Waffle) with the Sea Salt Caramel Ice Cream on the side (so it wouldn't get soggy and I could control the ratio) was a PEFRECT BLEND OF SAVORY AND SWEET and will definitely have me coming back when I'm next in the area. Besides my beloved Bacon Waffle, we ordered the Chicken Churro Waffle, Steak Fajita Bowl, Eggs Benedict, Lox Benedict, Carnitas Benedict, and Hibiscus Lemonade (sweet and refreshing), and a Horchata Iced Coffee (very good)! Everything was delicious (only complaint was the friend who ordered Carnitas Benedict said it was a bit overpowering a flavor for the egg / hollandaise) - and the service was quick, kind, and able to easily accommodate requests and substitutions. Definitely a rock-solid brunch choice - highly recommend!

    Round two at The Churro Waffle and I tried the Lox Benedict. Super tasty! My husband got the chicken churro waffle but said it wasn't as fresh as last time. It has extra pizzazz with a purple flower though! They're currently decorated for spring/Easter and it looks super cute!

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.

They also have a patio, and with the weather being nice, it was easy to just sit outside and relax for a while. I was honestly too hungry to spend much time deciding, so I just ordered one of the sourdough donut ball. It was exactly what I was hoping for. The outside had a light coating of sugar that gave it just the right amount of sweetness without being too much. Once I bit into it, the inside was soft, airy, and slightly chewy from the sourdough, which made it different from a regular donut. There was a subtle tang from the sourdough that balanced the sweetness really well, so it never felt overly sugary. It had a light crispness on the outside, then a warm, pillowy center that practically melted away with each bite. I finished it way faster than I expected. The only thing I forgot was ordering something to drink with it. Looking back, a good coffee would've made it even better. Still, I'd definitely stop by again the next time I'm in the area.

    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.

I bravely went for the latin-inspired latte flights, consisting of Mexican mocha, Coquito, horchata, and cafe de Olla. My favorite out of these four was the coquito because of the coconut pieces, which blended well with the latte. I know it sounded silly, but I enjoyed chewing these coconut flakes and they were good palate cleansers! The presentation was da bomb as well. The only reason that I couldn't give five stars to "Stockyard" was limited seating. The place was super cute, but there were only 3 tables and less than 4 high chair seating against the windows, plus some outdoor seating on the pedestrian walkway. The laptop users were respectfully directed to sit at the windows and outlets were available. The baristas were friendly and knowledgeable. I asked the details of the latte flight and they explained the offerings. I thought there was only one type of latte flights, but I believe the one I selected was very much suited to my preferences. "Stockyard Coffeehouse" is accessible via routes CTA 44 (Racine/Wallace) and CTA 8 (Halsted) busses. It's great to have a reliable indie coffeeshop in the neighborhood like this, so keep up the good work!
