Always delicious food and amazing service. If you find yourself up on the north side of the city, definitely make sure you stop in!

Great place to eat. I had the chilaquiles and they were fire! And the drinks are very good. Would definitely eat here again. They staff was also very friendly and provided good service. read more

Good service. Good drinks. Good... meh. Had the Santa Fe. Suppose to be poached eggs. More like hard boiled. Flavor was just ok

We ate at Tweet for Easter Brunch and, as usual, it did not disappoint. Food was incredible (celiac friendly options are endless), they have thought of everything to accommodate and entertain little kids, and the entire staff was (or acted like) they were genuinely happy to be there. The energy of this restaurant forces you to leave smiling. Thank you! read more

My friend recommended this place for breakfast. We went post our 12 hour shift and it was phenomenal! Service was wonderful (i can't remember the server's name but she was so sweet!) and the food was delicious! When we were first seated, we were greeted with coffee cake. After that was cup of fresh fruits before your meal. I ordered the biscuits and gravy, it was perfect! I will definitely be visiting here again! read more

I usually don't do ratings, but this restaurant deserves every star given-I wish I could give more. When we first arrived they asked if we had any allergens and I instantly knew we picked the right spot for brunch. I'm vegan, and my daughter has a major egg and dairy allergy and they were SO accommodating! The staff was so friendly to the point where it soaked up the entire place with warmth and happiness. Once we sat down they had TOYS for my daughter to play with...TOYS! I was shocked and SO surprised. My daughter loved it. The food was amazing. We got 2 vegan dishes and they gave us complimentary vegan coffee cake. All of it was fresh and delicious. From the waitress to the people cleaning tables, ALL staff was amazing and took the time to talk to us and make our visit enjoyable. The only thing you should know is that they are cash only, but they have an ATM in the restaurant, and the food is reasonably priced for the quality of food you're getting! I wish I didn't live so far, this would be a regular spot for me and my family. But we'll never forget this experience. So thank you! read more

This!!! Tweet is perfect. So delicious and has a ton of options no matter your preferences or restrictions. I love the treats they give you when you get seated too!! Can't wait to return. read more

I just moved to uptown and was craving a good breakfast. Long behold in my little cozy neighborhood was Tweet! I was in and out. The previous reviews talked a lot about the long wait times, so I decided to try this place on a week day! I was seated immediately and ordered within 7-10 minutes of being seated! The food overall was pretty good. I got the Belgian waffle with 3 slices of bacon and hash browns for my side. My favorite part was the waffle! So fluffy and done just right! And that fruit cup everyone talks about is wonderful :) It's about average price for a breakfast place especially for the city! I'll totally be visiting again! read more

*Cash only!* Come prepared and learn from my mistakes. Damn those ATM fees. I honestly was not that impressed with Tweet. The corn arepas were just mediocre pancakes with a few kernels of corn mixed into the batter, topped unceremoniously with squiggles of hot sauce, avocado, creme fraiche, and whole sprigs of cilantro. Portions are indeed huge, so I begrudgingly took my leftovers to go and ate them at work later. They almost tasted better cold. read more

Great food, drinks, service and HEART. Michelle Fire is an amazing person and it shows in Tweet and it's sister restaurant/bar Big Chicks. Outsider and local art fills the walls of this cozy and absolutely fun restaurant. The menu is American diner style but better than your average place. There are ample and tasty vegan and vegetarian options and the drink list is 100% great. The portions are not skimped on and the price points are affordable. We love you, Tweet! read more

I definitely recommend Tweet for breakfast/brunch. A few things to note: Some how, I missed they DO NOT take any cards - *it's cash only.* Not a fan of that in 2018. So make sure you have plenty of cash or Venmo to payback your cash-carrying friend. Two, it's pretty loud inside. So, if you're looking for a super quiet place, this isn't it. BUT - Tweet's got fun, great energy and there's interesting art! The food was good and so was the friendly service. It was packed and it was definitely a two hour experience. They have quite a large menu and vegetarian and gluten-free options. House coffee is intelligentsia - delicious! Plenty of hot sauce choices and the portions are quite large. Would totally go back! read more

Been a while since I've been to Tweet. Today's experience was meh. First, food was OK, but overpriced. More importantly: 1. Waitperson acted like a robot and was not really friendly--exactly the opposite of the owner, Michelle. 2. When placing the order, I asked for hash browns extra crispy and scrambled eggs to be a little "loose" meaning not overly done. She said that she couldn't honor the request on Saturday as they are busy. So what the hell do you go to a restaurant for if not to have food cooked the way you want it? Especially breakfast. 3. They wouldn't seat us outside, but the moment they seated us inside, they then decided they would seat people outside. 4. For a tab that was $25 a head, I expect better. 5. Tons of screaming kids. 6. Way too many "rules" for a casual Saturday breakfast at 9am. There are better places for breakfast on the north side. read more

Best brunch spot in the city, and beautiful art on the walls to boot. Our usual waiters and waitresses are always friendly and remember us. There's nowhere like it! read more

Delicious. Baked good (gluten free or full of gluten) given to you upon arrival. Very friendly staff. Ordered the arepas with all the fixings - while delicious, in no way whatsoever are these arepas. They are corn pancakes. For the absurd misuse of the term, I'm giving them a 4. read more

This place is fantastic. They are really accommodating to dietary restrictions and the food is delicious. As soon as we arrived the host asked us if we needed gluten free menus and how many. They also have a ton of vegan options. I had the lox platter with a gluten free bagel. It was really good. Huge portions. I had to take most of it home. The staff is really sweet and attentive. It was a sunny day when a group of friends and I went and the sun was really beating down in our table. My friend has fair skin and someone mentioned her beautiful skin and moved an umbrella from another table to give us shade. The only reason I didn't give them a 5th star is because they're cash only. A little inconvenient. But I still love them. :) read more

I go here because of the gluten free menu. The top 3 things I come here for are: lox scramble, chilaquiles and pumpkin gluten free pancakes. Well mainly the gluten free pumpkin pancakes and they have Cafe Intelligencia on drip I've honestly never had a bad meal here and they give you a ton of food. I'm a big guy and I still split the meals. It's really nice when I want to try 2 different breakfasts. Great am cocktails too! The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because they are cash only with atm on site. read more

Oh Tweet, you are so fun. I've been here for brunch a coupla times, and the food is super fresh, bountiful, and delicious. There's always seems to be something goofy happening, too, ( in a good way). I don't know the history of the space, but one of the rooms looks like it contains a former puppet show stage. On my most recent visit, we waited for a short time at the bar and felt like that was a sign for us to have drinks. The bloody Marys were good. We were quickly seated and this model/ waiter came over , ba bam. He was really nice and helpful and crud. Across from our table were two other male models feeding each other fresh fruit. Now I know this probably doesn't happen every day , but fun goofy stuff is kind of in the air here. Ok, the food is amazing too. I always get the Benedicts, because they rock. So, you'll like it I'm pretty sure, ok? read more

In my opinion this is as good as it gets! Excellent gluten free menu for breakfast, including cocktails. Sunday's in Chicago serve alcohol after 10 a.m., so we didn't imbibe. Service was consistent, friendly, and knowledgable of their menu. Food was excellent in taste and presentation! I had the Santa Fe with a side of avocado and chorizo, hash browns with my eggs poached. They nailed it on all dishes. My partner had the GF pumpkin pancakes - delicious! Another had the Hollywood plate - a healthy spread of vegetables and protein. The photography and art donned on the walls were great conversation starters, incredible and diverse work. Small outdoor street side dining and three rooms to fill for indoor dining. Two bathrooms with a good chance of waiting to use. read more

CASH ONLY. Wish I didn't find out just as I was about to pay. Regardless, good food. I got the country Benedict and my friend got a Denver omelet. They also give you complimentary cake to start! The country Benedict was amazing. The gravy wasn't too salty (which is often the case), and the biscuit was a great texture. Recommended, but bring cash. Also, get the hash browns (: Oh btw, they ask you to wait by the bar area which is packed with games to make the time go by a bit faster. So pack up your brunch crew, play some candy land and eat good food. read more

Quaint brunch place that ticks all the boxes for me. Atmosphere, food and friendly staff. Love the coffee waiting room in the bar area. The free spice cake appetizer is a nice touch too! I haven't had a bad meal there year.Crab cakes Benedict is my usual, but the burgers are great too. Of course, the full bar is available too. read more

Super dooper everything except for the wait and the rush to move us along. This place is fancy. As in dapper hipster-like put on your fresh threads, hair dye and tattoos. You can pose for a photo with a Marilyn drag poster. My aging Aunt got a cameo photo but I'm not allowed to include it online. We came because my aunt needed gluten-free and this place had high ratings for it. Which would have been great but not for people who have celiac.... they only do "kind-of" gluten free here, so if you've got celiac or any more than just whole-foods-yoga-studio-kale-lovin gluten-free, this is not the place for you. The only thing for folks with celiac is the oatmeal!! My honey and I hot some kicking good food. I had the California Benedict with loads of avocado, yummy sauce, and not quite enough roasted tomatoes, but all in all very tasty. My honey got a tortilla soaked in tart green tomatilla sauce, smothered with spicy chorizo and veggies. We'd come again, just not with a person who had celiac, and not on a Sunday at Lunchtime​! read more

Absolutely love this place. My girlfriend and I go as often as we can. The staff is great, dine-in comes with complimentary coffee cake slices (type changes, but always delicious), and the food is always on point. I literally leave late some days just to get a large side to-go-order of the corned beef hash. Dine in, my go-to is the eggs benedict. My only complaint is they don't open until 8:30am. Which is too late for me most days. If they opened at 7:00/7:30am M-F (even if they only sold to-go easy breakfast sandwiches) I would be very happy... happier. There's really no other place in the walking area for breakfast. Please open earlier!!! Great food, great staff, patio seating and a great eggsperience!!! read more

Really good food! Pretty crowded, but the food makes up for it! The salads are huge and bright colored and picture worthy! And the French toast is delicious as well! Definitely give this place a try, you'll love it! read more

Such a gem. A gay bar that does right by brunch, just like your Scandinavian grandmother would make (also don't worry, they're always ready to serve anyone who walks through the door hangry). read more

The host carried out pastries for us as he sat us. They were delicious. What a delightful brunch on a Monday morning. I had the corn arepas, which came out stacked with huge corn pancakes, eggs, avocado, hot sauce, a soft sour cream, and cilantro. Black beans came on the side and I ordered the chorizo, which I would probably go without in the future because there was plenty of other deliciousness. The ice tea was clearly house brewed and delightful. My food came with a great fruit cup. They had a ton of options, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free. I can't wait to go back. read more

This place exceeded my expectations! First thing that blew me away was they provided my one year old immediately with a bowl and baby fork with sliced bananas waiting to be gobbled up. They also handed us a basket of toys for her as well as setting up the highchair with paper under it for her well anticipated throwing of food. No worries for this mamma they had it all taken care of! Only improvement would be a baby changing station in the restroom. Now for the food: I ordered a gluten free Belgium waffle, bacon and sausage links, my hubby ordered gluten free grilled cheese and tots.we ordered kids pancakes for the little and a fruit cup. Food was great. Service was even better! read more

Oh my gosh! What's not to like about this place? I'm in town visiting a friend and some other we were meeting for brunch today recommended Tweet. Incredibly friendly staff, delicious food and huge portions! The wait wasn't bad, about 20 minutes for a group of 4 at 10:30 on a Sunday morning. We sat at the bar and had Irish coffees. Tweet stocks plenty of board and card games in the bar area to help with the wait too. Brunch was amazing! I had the pork chop plate with eggs, hash browns and fruit. One had the lox plate. She was served half a farmers market worth of veges! Another had the corn arepas and loved it. I would definitely recommend this for anyone in Chicago or visiting the city. read more

Love coming here, super cute and cozy place. I've been coming here ever since I moved to the city and ont stop any time soon!

New to Chicago, went in to get a table with my partner. The girl at the counter said wait list for our side. Then ask can we sit inside at the front table. Was told no, that was for 4 people. Really with empty tables and no one waiting to sit inside. Walked out will never be back! What a great way to start living in Chicago read more

I walk my dog past this "little joint" on a daily basis, so it was finally time for me to give it a try. I invited my girlfriend over so we can have a little pleasant brunch Saturday morning. What I thought is just a tiny mom-and-pop shop turned out to be a full-on dining restaurant with the utmost quality of food you can find around uptown. I had to take a moment in between my sentence to catch myself, for i was surprised, in a good way. Upon walking in, the first impression I had was the opposite of my initial impression from the outside. This place is HUGE! And this place was as popular as a restaurant can be. We were quickly greeted by a bunch of smiling faces that led us to our table immediately. Along with the menu, we were given some kind of pastry that went perfectly with a cup of black coffee. I ordered a corned beef hash because I am a sucker for those things, and my girlfriend got the lax protein platter. The proportion on the plate immediately spelled the word "WORTH" when it arrived in front of me. Everything tasted to be freshly made and it was prepared with the utmost care. It's a shame that my stomach has a finite amount of room, otherwise I would have loved to extend my stay to try a few more things on the menu. The only draw back to this place is the fact that this is a CASH ONLY restaurant. However, if you can look past that, then you are definitely in for a treat! read more

Went to Tweet on Sunday morning. Got a seat at the bar while we waited for our table. The Bloody Mary's were very good - great flavor! Table in the back patio was cozy with our neighbors...get what I'm sayin??! But very cute. The food was excellent, only one suggestion that would have made the Denver Omelet perfect - they need sea salt on the tables!! Service was great! read more

They had me at Eggs Benedict! Theirs specifically, as I'm still thinking about their perfectly toasted English muffin. I want to try it with the country gravy, but the hollandaise is just too good to pass up. Inside was comfy and slightly eccentric. I found myself torn between looking at my friend, my breakfast, and the art. Before leaving, I had to peek next door at Big Chicks. (The art is even better on that side) read more

We came here around 10 on Saturday in February and there was not wait at all. As soon as we were seated we were given these delicious little cakes and coffee was poured literally as we were bending down to sit. We were feeling like the royal family with this service. The drinks at Tweet are on point. If you can make a decision after browsing their extensive list, you will most likely be faced with something delicious. The Devil in the White City is a spiked coffee/hot chocolate concoction that will make you high off sugar, alcohol, and... life? Food overall is very good, but especially of note are the hashbrowns, which come perfectly crispy. So many places leave the hashbrowns soggy and undercooked, but Tweet knows their potatoes. We will definitely be coming back here. You can read more about specific dishes and drinks at Tweet on our blog: http://notjustbrunch.wordpress.com/2014/02/22/tweetle-brunch-tweetle-dee/ read more

Best eggs Benedict of my lifeeee! My boyfriend always gets the breakfast burrito (perfect for a big appetite), and he can't really speak about anything else because he gets that every time because he loves it so much.

I came here thinking this place was a small whole in the wall but once I walked on I saw this place was pretty big. The hostess asked if we needed a gluten free menu so this place is gluten, vegetarian and vegan friendly! They even have tempeh! (Vegan bacon). Our server Teodore was amazing best server everrrrr !!!!! He was friendly and quick. Our coffee and waters were always full too. The mimosas here are delicious and made with fresh squeezed juices! And the food was even better and it came out super quick. Overall great experience if your Chicago I highly recommend this place! I wanted to add some photos but the app wouldn't let me but if the weather is nice sit outside the patio is beautiful read more
