Went for the first time and wondered why we don't frequent TBC more often. Food was good. Plenty of choices to pick from and huge plus when you have breakfast food that also comes with sides like eggs, side of meat, hash browns, even biscuits and gravy!!! Many restaurants make you order à la carte- which can add up real quick with an entree. Love me some chicken fried steak and can't seem to find it at many breakfast joints anymore, so made sure to order some. It came with eggs, hash browns, and I chose pancakes as a side. Loved my meal and definitely recommend the CFS. The place was clean. Service was fast. It was busy for a week day so I can only imagine a wait on a Saturday/Sunday morning. read more

I went here with my wife and the food is top notch!! LOADS of options for different types of pancakes and French toast with greasy fruit and delicious toppings! I had a savory dish, the biscuits and gravy and I loved it. Our waitress was kind and attentive and the meal was reasonably priced. They did have some healthy options as well and it looked like there were specials they were running. We went on a Friday and it was quite busy so that's always a good sign for a restaurant. read more

I live out of state and grew up in the area--this spot opened after I moved to the east coast which is a BUMMER because it is amazing! Every time I'm home I try to visit this cafe. The breakfast is always out fresh and hot. You can't go wrong with any meals. They don't take reservations online, but you can check wait times or order online. We came at 9:00am on a Friday morning after Christmas, and it was about 75% fully seated. It's a bright cafe, with your classic clean diner decor and music playing. We sat right away and were offered coffee and water. I got the mocha madness smoothie which was the perfect sweet coffee I needed, it's not quite a smoothie texture (not as thick) but more like a coffee with crushed ice. My fiance got the triple berry smoothie which looked colorful and delicious. Their espanol skillet is my favorite, but they have amazing sweet meals. My fiance had the banana cream waffles and raved about them. Our friends got the two eggs and meat with turkey bacon and the Santa Fe Benedict and enjoyed their meals. I've previously had their crepes too, which were phenomenal. The service is very quick and attentive. You pay upfront at the host stand. We enjoyed all of our meals and time at triple berry. As always, I highly recommend it and will be back! read more

We came here for a weekend breakfast and at 8:30am on a Sunday we didn't have to wait for a table. They have an outdoor patio that wasn't open and two main areas to eat, the main area on the left and a smaller area on the right with a bar. The restaurant became full at about 9:30am. We were impressed by the staff, almost as soon as we sat down we all had waters, hot coffee and got our orders in quickly. The portions were large for the price and we appreciated the taste without the food being salty. We had enough food for leftovers. read more

Took the family for brunch at 11:30. We were seated quickly and I was served a cup of coffee right off the bat. Wife ordered Tiramisu pancakes that she swooned over. Daughter got a chicken wrap with ranch dressing substituted for the menu's Caesar dressing. I had the Albanian national sandwich. Soup was hot. French fries tasty. The server lady kept my coffee up filled several times. Tasty food delivered hot. Good service. What more could you want? read more

Best place for breakfast, I go every Friday with my dad. Excellent food and service, always very attentive and welcoming.

Do yourself a good deed. This is a great place for breakfast. Service was wonderful and the food was exceptional. Had their new bacon sausage - WOW - was it good. I just saw that they are now open for Friday Fish Fry. Can't wait for my next visit. read more

Had the chicken carnitas skillet. It was fresh and delicious. Service was friendly and enjoyed the prompt coffee refills. I look forward toy next visit. read more

Ok so - we very much are NOT those people to come in five minutes before a restaurant closes to have food. Definitely not about that life. We showed up at 2:09 PM on a Sunday and on the door it says open until 3:00 PM. When we walked in the host said "you know, we close in 15 minutes right?" Completely took me off guard. My husband then says "oh, it's just the two of us." The host visibly looks annoyed so I said "oh - if it's a big deal we can just go somewhere else." He says "oh, we can do a takeout order". WTF? We ended up leaving and went somewhere else. First of all, you are open until 3:00 PM according to the sign on your door. Let's say you do close early now - fine. You close at 2:30 PM. That said, you are OPEN UNTIL a specific time. Making a customer feel super awkward for coming in before you close, clearly being annoyed, and suggesting a carry out order makes people feel like crap. It wasn't 5 minutes til, but even if it was, you are open specific business hours for a reason. Most restaurants plan for people being there past a specific time, right? Again, we have been to this location many times, so this was hella awkward. We will not be back - ever. My suggestions if you don't want people there past a certain time, just have a sign that says "seating stops at 2:00 PM" or something like that. read more

Great customer service, family friendly, reasonable pricing. My daughter loved the biscuit and gravy. Waffle was ok. Huge menu with lots of options. Will try it again. read more

A little disappointed with Triple Berry. We'd heard rare reviews so we stopped by before our Chicago Day Trip, and it wasn't what we expected. The interior is modern but very cramped, every table and booth was full and the wait was about 30 minutes. Our server Cynthia was good. We didn't see her much because of how busy it was, but when she was there, she was friendly and funny. My suggestion would be to hire more servers-- I don't think they had enough that day to make ends meet. The food was slow and mediocre. My Iced Caramel Macchiato was the best thing we ordered, it had the perfect amount of sweetness and coffee flavor. My Santa Fe Benedict was okay, nice portion but the hash browns were overcooked. My Dad didn't love his Two Eggs & Bacon with a Pancake at all. The men's bathroom was locked the entire time so I had to use the women's. Added on to the frustration. read more

I love this place! There are so many amazing options for food and they all taste great. The staff here makes eating out a very enjoyable experience. Everyone is very friendly and happy to help you which is hard to find nowadays. Inside the building has great vibes and is very family friendly. I really like that their bathrooms are always clean. I will be back again! read more

OMG, where have you been hiding all this time and why aren't you closer to the city?!?! So we came here on father's day as we had dropped off my in-laws at a family party close by and my wife had stumbled along this place. We had thought there would be a substantial wait since it was father's day but we were seated right away. The dining area is very airy and large so it was perfectly fitting that we were seated accordingly. Their menu showcases a typical brunch offering with a fusion of Latin flavor. The food is AMAZING! It can compete with the best of brunch locations in Chicago. I ordered the chicken carnitas skillet with a side of the tiramisu pancakes. The chicken was flavorful and made the dish. The hash browns were crisp but not overcooked. The eggs and salsa topped off the dish. The tiramisu pancakes were fluffy, the cinnamon and hazelnut spread flavored the pancakes to perfection. The coffee was also SO GOOD. if we're ever in the area again, we're definitely going to return to try more read more

Got in right away on a Sunday morning! The breakfast was so yummy! My eggs were a bit cold but the rest was so good! They had such unique pancake and crepe flavors that looked so yummy and the waitress was so kind checking up on us the whole time. Pricing was normal for a breakfast joint that's on the nicer end. The atmosphere was very modern and up to date. read more

Waited 30min just to get water and still no one took our table of three order yet , was I supposed to raise my hand to get someone attention? but once we got our water the girl who sat us gave a older couple water once they sat down but my table had to wait that long just to be given water and still no " sorry about the wait " or " we are kinda busy right now we will get to you when we can " ? I was really excited for the food just to be disappointed with no one taking our table food order . The girl who sat us didn't even tell us how long the wait was she just sat us and that's it . Wouldn't go if I could leave no stars I would read more

Stopped into have breakfast here after an appointment in the area and this place did not disappoint. The restaurant itself is not huge but they do have a good amount of booths and tables plus some extra seating at their breakfast bar (stools). We waited only a couple minutes to be seated as it was busy but the servers seemed to be on it with their tables. I had the cinnamon French toast (not listed in their Yelp menu page but present on their physical menu). These were tasty! Not overly sweet and just the right amount for me where I finished three of the four slices and my husband/mom ate the last slice. My husband had the 2 eggs and bacon which he stated were okay, nothing fancy. The star of the show was my mom's Santa Fe Benedict which was so full of flavor! The chicken carnitas were seasoned very well and it all pulled together with the hollandaise sauce and the pico de gallo. Almost wished I had ordered her plate instead! Would recommend to anyone in the area. read more

Nice family owned place with really good food. You can tell they truly care. Can't wait to go again!

Our service from Taylor was amazing. We did have an issue with coupon redemption with Clipp. However that is not their issue it is with Clipp. The owner graciously contacted us and offered our money back. Thank You for making what was wrong right. read more

Went here because their Elgin located was seemingly closed permanently. Service was standard. Food just ok. Waffles were good, but the Rocky Mountain omelette was very bland. It tasted like raw unseasoned onions and green peppers thrown in an omelette at the last moment. I like their lunch options better than their breakfast options these days. read more

Always outstanding service and food. Love the menu and they're always willing to adjust orders upon request. Favorite is skillet breakfast with side of biscuits with sausage gravy. read more

Great service, great pancakes, excellent eggs, I really recommend that there was a man there who also complained about his sandwich. I feel bad for the waiter. The chef was very good. I think the sandwich was very good. The man who complained about his sandwich, who I don't think knew much about food. read more

Service was quick to get coffees and water. No Coke. Pepsi. Smuckers jams and jelly. International Delight coffee creamer flavors. Hazelnut and French vanilla with half and half. Quick on coffee refills. Very bright light with roomy booths and tables. Patio seating in warm weather. Got eggs, link sausage, hash browns and wheat toast. Pretty simple breakfast. Came out good. read more

Found this place searching on google. It popped up as one of a handful spots in the area. Came in on Saturday at 11:30 AM, no wait, was easily able to get a seat. Service was great, probably checked on us 5 times throughout our 1hr and half. Always had a fresh cup of coffee filled and the burrito was perfect. It's hard to find a good breakfast burrito that doesn't break or get messy. Also, the pancakes were good. Manager was very nice and service was top notch. I'd definitely be back if I am in the area. Would recommend! read more

Came here for breakfast on Good Friday with my hubby. Still a fabulous experience with delicious food. I tried a new menu item that's currently in the Specials Menu. Millionaire Skillet $13.99: just like the Carnitas Skillet but they add chorizo. Yum! Our waitress was Chris. Miranda kept our coffee cups filled. Thank you both! read more

very yummy and our waitress was very kind and funny! i recommend stopping by! it's very casual and welcoming so it makes for a nice date

I wanted to check this place out for Father's Day and I LOVED IT. The interior is beautiful and spaced out perfectly and the atmosphere is wonderful. Our waitress was really nice and the food portions are perfect, I finished my food, but the others I went with brought home their pancakes. The turkey bacon tasted really good and the eggs could've been better, but they still tasted good. I loved the pancakes, they tasted really good even when they are plain. I will be back soon! Well deserved 5 out of 5! read more

Triple Berry Cafe - Breakfast Pancake with Turkey Bacon and 2 Eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Crystal Lake, Illinois

Delicious breakfast-fresh eggs and crispy bacon. Attentive and personable waitstaff. Very small, clean restaurant.

Was expecting fabulous from the reviews. The waitress was great, food was just so so. Had the Irish Benedict- the hollandaise sauce tasted funky and the corned beef had an odd aftertaste. I would try again except they billed my credit card twice. Had this happen before at another establishment and I heard this is a way for restaurants to tie up your money and use it for a few days. Tried to call and their mailbox is not even set up so couldn't even leave a Message. Not happy. I think the other location must be the one people rave about because photos look different. read more

I visited Triple Berry Cafe during the week with a group of friends (8 total) for a little birthday breakfast for one of the people in our group. The service was super great and the food was really good. I am pretty sure I had the corned beef hash omelet (my usual go to is eggs Benedict, but I wasn't feeling it that day). The hash was yummy! I have been wanting to get back to Triple Berry; I need to make that happen! read more
