You just can't go wrong with anything on the menu! Chicken and waffle was my fave They have good vegan options. Parking is very hard to get Limited wait staff. It's cafeteria style Can't wait to be back read more

Was pleasantly surprised by how good the spiced maple chicken n waffles were! I didn't know what to expect because sometimes fusion places or hit or miss but they did the HK-style egg waffles pretty well (good texture, crispness, slightly sweet), and the chicken tasted like a more delicate popcorn chicken (super tender, not too oily, etc.). The interior is really pretty but note that the actual ambiance of the restaurant is more casual than it looks! read more

Small and cute place. Not much interaction with the server, but I prefer it that way. I got the Ube Flapjack and was pleasantly surprised as I wasn't sure what to expect. I'd describe the taste as similar to Taro, but sweeter. Unsure what the bacon was glazed with but it tasted AMAZING. The Purple haze had iced coffee with ube at the bottom. The flavors work well and I liked the taste. My girlfriend had the Spiced Maple Chicken and enjoyed it as well! read more

Wow, what a major disappointment and waste of money. The place only had a few people in there when I went. They sat me at a two top table in the middle of the room and when I asked to sit by the window, they said no because that was for larger parties. There were literally two tables occupied in the entire restaurant, and it was a weekday in the mid-morning.... definitely not a big crowd coming in. The staff treated me like I was inconveniencing them when I "interrupted" their conversation because I had trouble figuring out how to order on my phone. Yet, I couldn't place an order with the person there because I had to do it on the phone, but they were inconvenienced by my interrupting their conversation. The food was unremarkable and not memorable. It missed the mark in every way. read more

Food: You get a ton of food for reasonable price, it's quite a heavy meal. I got the spam fries and adobo Philly dip. Both were great to have as a first few bites but then it's greasy and heavy to continue. They have a lot of ube inspired flavors which makes it different from other breakfast spots. Service: it's mostly self service where you order on the QR code and the employees will bring it over to you Ambiance: it's not what I had imagine when I walked in but it's super pretty with lots of floral decor and even a photobooth, but we were unable to use it sadly. Location accommodation: it's north of Chicago so it's little out of the way if you're visiting. They outdoor seating with a swing set. And they do have reservations that you can be made but we walked in a Saturday morning around 9:30 before it got really busy. read more

While walking around Belmont, we came about Wake 'n Bacon. So glad we did! When we entered into Wake 'n Bake, the servers told us they do not take orders and that we needed to use our phones to place our orders. I ordered the vegetarian stir fry. It came with mushrooms, red peppers, caramelized onions, chickpeas, shredded carrots, green onions over a bed of brown rice. The vegetables have been cooked in a sesame sauce. The food tasted divine! The kitchen staff prepared it fresh as the food tasted hot. Joseph ordered the strips of bacon, and the Jorgito Bowl. He said it tasted fine. We sat outside in the swing set. Really cute and very quaint idea! The swing sets made the dining experience more memorable. I felt like a child while sitting on the swing. Come to Wake 'n Bacon. Better to make reservations as this place tends to be pretty popular. Bring family, friends, or even a date. read more

From the outside this place seems awesome - cute interior and interesting menu. However, I think the interior looks slightly better in the pictures than in person. I would say the same for the food - the pictured chicken and waffle I got looks quite delicious, but the chicken was super plain. My boyfriend got a breakfast burrito that was also quite plain. I would come and try another item on the menu but I don't have high hopes. read more

Great food, super cute vibe, but a bit tight in terms of space, so not the most accessible. Everyone was super kind in terms of the staff. Will definitely go back once my mobility improves! read more

The interior is sooo aesthetically pleasing and perfect for a cute brunch!! I love that they have a free photobooth to create some small memories :) Their portions are bigger and very filling than expected which is nice for the price!!! My party and I really enjoyed our meal. This place has a great fusion twist to brunch and we will definitely come back for the food. Their cocktails are good and true to name by their description while also being easy to drink. Unfortunately the purple haze, which is a coconut ube coffe drink they have the menu is really pretty, the drink itself is bland. The ube or coconut flavor or even the coffee taste doesn't come out. The only thing that we didn't super like prior to coming is that we had to make a reservation with a deposit online. So we are unsure if they actually take walk ins. They must be super busy to require this part and their service is nice, but kinda strange how they do their order system as they do counter service. read more

I visited this location with my family on August 10th of this year. We decided to come here for a weekend of fun with our kids. The pictures online looked appealing. We drove all the way from Milwaukee. We drove around for an half hour for parking. We get inside and it was lovely as far as the decor etc. We are seated and begin to look at the menu from our phones (they have a QR code where you order everything yourself at the table from your phone) We order our food and drinks. Drinks come out first ofc and this is where the discrepancy came into play. They bring out our kids drinks (they were small pre made an in plastic round bottles) and the drink I ordered. I ordered a drink called the purple haze specially because of how the drink was advertised online. Pretty cup with logo (I'm a stickler for those kinds of things lol) he bring the purple Haze drink out in a regular cup and I kinda asked if I could have the cup that was advertised online, he said they only have a total of 4 of the cups. Which wasn't such a huge deal to me but what began a problem was when the waiter proceeded to set my kids drink on the table but instead of setting them on the table he dropped them. He did not pick them up either which is how I know he was annoyed by me asking for the cup that was advertised online and shook his head in annoyance as he walked off. We kept cool because like I said we were there with our children. When he came back to the table he was very dismissive as if he didn't do anything wrong. Brought the alcohol drinks to the table (those weren't how they were advertised online as well. No butterflies or flowers in them) we asked for the manager and he took the alcohol drinks back. The "manager" came over and also very dismissive. We just decided it was a best to leave. My kids were crying. And before anyone says it's just a cup what's the big deal. It was how the waiter handled the situation and why advertise food or drinks online one way and Serve it another way? Decorations were perfect. Service was horrible. read more

I feel like my ancestors placed this find in my lap. A Filipino inspired brunch spot, with swing chairs, floral walls, a Photo Booth mirror, good food and good drinks like wow. What more could you ask for? We got basilog, spam bagel and chicken n waffles all 10/10. Ube latte 10/10 , adult beverages 10/10. You order at the table using a QR code and they bring it one and bus your table. Loved our visit can't wait to Return. read more

Wake 'n Bacon has quickly become a go-to breakfast place for our us. Each dish has its own unique flavor - a welcome change from the "traditional" breakfasts served by many other restaurants. The Ube Flapjack Stack is my go-to choice here - it literally has everything you could want in a breakfast and is bursting with fun flavors. My partner has tried the Spiced Maple Chicken N Waffles and Breakfast Burrito and loves them both. We also always get a Quesadilla as a sweet treat to split - it's a perfect addition to brunch. We've only ever ordered takeout but hope to dine-in at some point when it's safe. Our experience with takeout has always been great - ready within a reasonable amount of time and staff is super friendly/helpful. read more

Wake ‘n Bacon - Ube Flap Jack Stack* - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place was a pleasant surprise!! Came here at 10am Sunday morning for brunch. The aesthetic was beautiful with flowers hanging from the ceiling and a fun selfie mirror in the corner. It was already pretty busy, and it continued to get more busy as time went on. However, it never felt too crowded or overwhelming. They had a lot of really unique themed items on the menu. I had never tried Ube before but it served as a great cream filling for my purple Ube donut. I thought it was delicious. The latte I purchased was also really good. The Baegoal was tasty, too. The bacon was a little thick and sandwich was hard to eat. It kept falling apart. The lemon cream cheese was really good but not sure if I liked it in that flavor pairing with the sandwich. Overall, though I thought it was decent and the tater tots were perfect. Many items had a hemp extract add on you can include as well for an additional cost. I liked the way the ordering worked. You can sit down at a table, and you can order at the counter or scan the QR. If you scan, it knows your table number and you can order and pay from your table without even needing a server. They food came out quick and we had no issues! Then there was no waiting for the check at the end since it was all taken care of. read more

Wake ‘n Bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This is one of my favorite breakfast/brunch spots now! The decor inside is so cute & there's even a photo booth. My friend and I ordered a whole spread of food. SO. MUCH. FOOD. but...so good!!! It was worth it....all of it! Spiced maple chicken 'n waffles - the amount of chicken given with the waffle was perfect. There was a nice kick to the dish which gave it a nice touch. The chicken wasn't dry & perfectly seasoned. Sweet salmon couscous - yum! I absolutely loved how the salmon was seasoned/glazed and cooked. It was not over cooked and went well with the couscous. A little citrus added a nice balance. La vida dulce - this stuffed french toast dish looked like it would be really sweet, but it wasn't. The amount of sweetness with everything was just right. Loved that it was stuffed with dulce de leche. Bacon flight - who doesn't love bacon?! This was great, the three different types of in house and cured smoked bacon. There was maple peppercorn, tocino, and tajin. Loved them all! Purple haze - I was looking forward to trying this! It's iced coffee with a house made ube mix. I absolutely loved it! You can't go wrong with ube. I can't wait to go back to try all of the other items on the menu!!! read more

This place is a bit hidden, but it's worth tracking down. The restaurant is almost AI (not really, really) but you place your order electronically, and it comes quickly. I and #1 daughter shared two dishes, The Phatty (breakfast burrito) and La Vida Dolce (brioche French toast). The LVD was heavenly. While good, the burrito ranks with other burritos--go for something more unique I'd say. Oh, and if you can, have your meal on the swing outside. We didn't but it looked fun. read more

Some of the best bacon I've ever had! I enjoyed everything I tried and I tried half the menu. Would go back often.

Wake 'n Bacon catches my attention due to instagrammable decoration and food presentation in the beginning but it turns out I was amazed by their foods and parents-friendly facility. I went with my friends with their 2-month-old baby. There are two unisex restrooms that make parents can help with each other while changing baby's diaper without needing to separate them due to gender. Stroller is also allowed to put next to the table that parents can easily take care of their baby. Needless to say, Ube Flap Jack Steak is highly recommend. So is Purple Haze. You can tast coffee, milk, and coconut at the same time. It is not just beautiful but tasty! read more

Location is great, atmosphere was chill and at the same time exciting. Service was confusing as they had different ways of ordering your food, when we had questions about how to order or seemed confused the server was no help and instead made us feel a bit uncomfortable. $75 for a breakfast burrito piled with rice and an ok burger was too much and not worth it. Our tater tot appetizer was good but served in a small bowl not allowing us to conveniently share and towards the end just not an appetizing experience seeing egg and potato squished to the bottom. Definitely better places to eat and would only return for the convenience or if I ever want to drink a hot coffee from a glass again. read more

Wake ‘n Bacon - Atmosphere - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

It wasn't the allure of having a meal at Chicago's most Instagrammable brunch spot that drew me here, but it popped as a solid dining establishment when I searched for somewhere to meet up around Lakeview or Bucktown with an old friend! Lucky number 8. Eight unique notes about WnB: 1) the ceiling decor! It's colorful, it's floral, and it's photo worthy! Like something out of Encanto. Yes, I've been watching too many kid movies lately. 2) photo booth at the front of the restaurant! 3) the menu is Filipino inspired. I had my eye on the ube flapjacks with bacon on top, but didn't feel it on my actual visit, so I opted for the Phatty, scrambled eggs, cheese, bacon, black beans, and rice rolled into a tortilla served with tater tots on the side. My friend enjoyed the burger, which had bacon top. She said it hit the spot and was a bit greasy, but what delicious burger isn't? 4) ube iced coffee! Mmm, I had my Purple Haze drink with oat milk. It cost me $5.50. Plenty of other coffee and beverage options too. 5) menus will be passed out to you upon seating, but scan the QR code at the table to order and pay upfront. 6) now parking! Leave extra time to look for street parking. I came around 11:30 on a Sunday and took about 5-10 min to find a spot on Belmont a quarter mile away. Not bad. The closest Spot Hero spots are about the same distance away. I checked. 7) you can make a reservation on Yelp! Not sure how much luck you'll have as a walk in, depending on the timing of your excursion. The place seats maybe 40ish. 8) the bathrooms are set up as single close doored unisex units with only a toilet. You walk out into a book to use the communal sink and mirrors. Plan accordingly. I enjoyed the outing and would recommend this place if in the vicinity! read more

This was a suggested place to me by tiktok. It was totally worth all the hype. The inside was very cute, and if you have extra time you can have free photos taken at the mirror. You're allow to take the photos home or put it on the wall. The food here is amazing. The burgers are all amazing. The chicken and waffles are delicious. The waffle isn't your usual waffle shape. It's more of the egg bubble waffle shape. The bacon flight is totally worth it. I favorite is the tajin bacon. The coffee was amazing. But not all of them have butterflies on it. If you change the type of milk to you might not get the butterflies. I do recommend getting a reservation, or else indoor seating is not guarantee. We didn't have an appointment, so we ended up seating outside. The service is great, the weather was beautiful - so sitting outside didn't bother us. read more

Really really great breakfast/brunch place. I love ube and that's pretty much what caught my eye and peeked my interest to try this place out. There was quite a few Filipino inspired menu items which was awesome to see! First off, I ordered the purple haze ice coffee (ube flavored of course) and it was not only pretty to look at and very photogenic, it was delicious. Next I tried the ube flapjacks topped with 2 eggs and 2 slices of bacon with your choice of flavor (maple, tocino, or tajin - i chose the tocino. Tocino, for those wondering, is a Filipino style of pork which is sweetened and pan fried. Similar to chorizo. This dish was very good and I am a bacon lover and the tocino adds a nice touch. My only complaint is that I like my eggs over easy/medium and they came out over hard. I guess I should have indicated that when I was ordering from their online QR code based menu, but I guess I forgot because it didn't ask me how I wanted my eggs cooked. But I know now for next time! I also got a side of maple bacon and that was my favorite. I loved the way it was crisp, yet not hard. With just enough crispness to burn some of the fat on the ends and the flavor was perfect. The hubby gave me half of his Adobe chicken Philly sandwich that came with a side of adobo flavored dipping sauce. The chicken was like the pulled pork and paired with the dipping sauce, this was pretty good! Hubby liked it a lot and said it was a good portion. The photo booth was a cute touch to the place and makes it even more of a fun experience. This is the perfect place to take people from out of town because it's so pretty to look at inside and the food is pleasing to the eye as well. Quick tip: Servers aren't readily available so if you need anything, you will need to go up to the counter. But don't let that stop you! It's just like being at Starbucks, only better! read more

Cute little spot for brunch or breakfast. You would have to scan the barcode and create a tab or walk to the cashier to order food. Food was okay, I got the chicken and waffle and I felt a bit underwhelmed. Chicken seemed like they were a bit small and over cooked. My friends tried other food on the menu, but I can't speak for them.. overall 4/5 stars. read more

A delicious, aesthetically pleasing, and hip experience. I had the fried chicken and bubble waffle, the ube flapjack stack, and the ube latte. They were all incredible and I would order them all again. The bubble waffle is a traditional Taiwanese dessert, and it was such a creative spin on chicken and waffles. The bacon on the ube flapjack stack was out of this world. The decor is very trendy and fresh. There are plants and flowers on the ceiling. There's a photo booth that prints out polaroids for you to take home with you if you like. Would definitely come back here. If I had a friend visiting, I would definitely want to bring them here. The only kicker is that they are by reservation only, and they're usually booked a couple weeks out. That said, I have been having breakfast and seen people roll in without a reservation and be seated. Try your luck, I guess? read more

I went into this place trying to get a quick bite to eat and asked for a recommendation to take to go. I will say that their tater tots tasted a bit old or at least that they were fried in old oil. I really liked the burrito I got (The Phatty). The place is super cute and I definitely will come back for a brunch! read more

Wake ‘n Bacon - The Phatty - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Had to checkout this joint after reading their reviews and option to infuse hemp/CBD in the food. Definitely a very cute atmosphere! Loved the floral decorations and the inviting, open armed atmosphere that the entity and staff provided. You have to order your meal either at the counter or via your phone using the QR code on the table. We had the Wake N Bacon Burger, Maui Wowie, and Big Bird meals. The Maui Wowie sandwich was missing the grilled tajin pineapples initially, but the server was able to accommodate quickly. Must have the pineapples if you're getting that sandwich, it's not the same without. The Big Bird sandwich was by far the winner of the three. So extremely flavorful, almost had a fantastic southern tang that brought me back to my roots. Highly recommend! Also close to a busier strip, so you can walk around and explore parts of the city too. read more

I was searching instagrammable places to introduce to my out-of-town, photo happy friend and Wake n' Bacon absolutely fit the bill. Their flower roof is as eye catching in person as it is in pictures. Their light blue walls with matching floral pattern make the restaurant an inviting place to dine. They also have a full length mirror that acts as a photo booth, which added to the fun of catching up with my friend. Their asian-fusion food was just as appealing. I was slightly underwhelmed by the presentation of their ube flap jack stack; I was expecting the bright purple ube pancakes that I experienced in other restaurants. Aesthetics aside, the pancake was delicious. The texture was fluffy and made for a satisfying portion. It was topped with an equally delicious thick, tender bacon. My favorite part of my meal was the purple haze, an ube coconut milk coffee, which was sweet but not too sweet. Besides the ornate decor, it has a more casual vibe. It is a counter service, so you either order at the counter or through the QR code on your table. Reservations are needed as the restaurant does get full. In turn, the line to order at the counter was a bit of a wait. There are no servers waiting on you on the floor, so if you needed extra napkins, etc., you'd have to wade through the line to get what you needed. Overall, I still found the ordering process efficient, and we didn't have to wait long for our food to be ready. As someone not familiar with city street parking, the worst part was looking for parking near the restaurant. My friend and I arrived late to our reservation after circling the block for an available parking space. I would recommend using one of the parking apps, and I would recommend Wake n' Bacon for its pretty aesthetics and good brunch food. read more

I have attempted to visit this restaurant for brunch over the weekend before, but their reservations are on very high demand. Finally visited this past Friday for a late brunch / lunch. Regardless of how busy they are, reservations are REQUIRED to be seated - this is pretty clear on their website as well. We ordered the Spiced Maple Chicken' Waffles & Wake'n Bacon Burger for our dishes. For our drinks we had a caramel latte and the purple haze - which is one of their popular drink was super tasty. Spiced Maple Chicken' Waffles was very well seasoned and did not disappoint. It was a great balance of flavor between the chicken and waffles, everything you would expect and more. I tried the burger my friend had and it was nicely juicy and loved the caramelized onions. They have a digitalized screen/ mirror where you can take pictures with your party, print them and tape them to the wall for memories, but you also get to email the snapshots to yourself. Great experience overall! *none of the food is pictured because we were starving and obviously impatient, but the decoration and details of the space are spot on. read more

Cutest brunch spot in Lakeview! Free parking down Belmont! When you walk in, you have to walk to the back to confirm your reservation and then you get seated. They pass out physical menus, but you order and pay online by scanning a QR code. We came on a Monday. The restaurant itself was crowded when we arrived, but that was expected as we had a reservation for 1:15pm. We thought the tables were a bit close to each other and could hear other tables' conversations. We ordered the Spiced Maple Chicken 'n Waffles, Jorgito Bowl, and the Purple Haze drink. The food didn't take long to be delivered to our table. Our drink came first and it had a good ube flavor. Once we got the food, it was beautifully plated and definitely photo worthy. And I was surprised how good the food was! We loved both of our items. The decoration in the place is beautiful! They also have a photo booth where you can print out your photos with a Wake n' Bacon frame for free. Unfortunately they were out of paper, but we still got the photos emailed to us. Their style bathrooms are not my favorite. It's one of those where there are just toilets in each room, but the sink and mirrors are out in the hall. Kind of hard to do things like touch up your hair/makeup or clean yourself up when the mirror is out in the hallway where people eating can see you. I only noticed this because we sat right next to the bathroom. But I'm being too picky here haha. Overall love this place and would love to come back to try some other items on their menu! read more

I can understand why people call this an 'Instagram worthy' spot. Lots of cool props and decor which adds to the unique vibe that this restaurant has. There were a couple of tables with built in swings seating which would have been great to grab but 1) they were taken when we got there and 2) it was so hot, I'm not sure we would have sat outside anyway. I ordered the Bacon flight along with the Maui Wowie - how could I not? It has Spam in it which I loved as a kid. My friend ordered the Ube Flapjack Stack. Aren't the names cute and catchy? The bacon flight was pretty good. Of all three, my least favorite was the Tajin one. It pained me to toss it but it just wasn't my cup of tea. The Wowie was good but the mayo made it a bit soggie. It was very hearty so I could only eat half of it. The tater tots that came with it were soooo good. Fried crispy and tasted perfect. And yes, I ate all of them. My friend really enjoyed the Stack. I wouldn't order what I got again, but I will definitely go back and try something else. There's so many creative dishes that sound good so worth another visit down the 'Shore. read more

Overall I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious breakfast made with real food at affordable prices. read more

Super cute brunch spot in Chicago! I would give it a 10/5 if I could, for service, food, design, and creativity! First of all, we came 15 minutes earlier than our reservation time, but the manager was so kind & flexible to get us seated right away even though this place was poppin in the morning! Off to a grateful start. Next, the contactless order system was flawless. My friends and I didn't have to wait to order to a person; instead, we each ordered everything we wanted on our devices and paid with Apple Pay before our meal which was so convenient. I highly recommend restaurants utilize this efficient system. So refreshing! Can we finally talk about how gorgeous all the flowers hanging from the ceiling are?! I didn't post it on instagram, but if you're into that, this place is totally instagrammable. The restaurant is prettier in person; plus, it's lovely, chic, cozy, and modern all at the same time, and makes me wanna stay longer! Food! We ordered the maple spiced chicken & waffles, breakfast burrito with tater tots, and sweet salmon couscous with CBD oil. Funny you can add cbd oil to anything here for an additional $3. It doesn't taste any different though lol. We really enjoyed everything!!! I especially liked my salmon couscous because the marinade tasted a bit Filipino, and I enjoyed it very much. I also squeezed all my lemons & limes in my dish and it was the perfect touch! Alas, the creativity of a photo mirror experience! After our meal, we walked toward the back of the restaurant to a futuristic looking booth where the huge mirror is essentially a touch screen that also takes photos & emails them to us??? It was super cool and we couldn't get enough of it. Okay, maybe after 4 shots we were done. But we marveled at the idea and made memories too. Our photos were printed and emailed to us as well. With one of the printed ones, we posted it on the walk to commemorate like everyone else who wrote on the wall :) Wake N' Bacon really raises the bar for brunch spots in the area. It's also by the Chicago River which is a nice view to pass by when coming here. I'd give it more than 5 stars if I could. read more

I'm taking away a star only because they don't have bottomless mimosas, let's be clear lol. Otherwise, I have no complaints about this place. It's trendy and an instagrammers paradise, which is the point. I liked the mirror photo booth and you can choose to leave a photo of yourself on the walls of the establishment. The bacon flight was very tasty, the maple peppercorn bacon might be my favorite. I ordered the maple chicken and waffles; the waffle could've been a little thicker but the chicken was seasoned well. I really liked that ordering was completely contactless which made it super easy for me. However, there were times where I wanted to request utensils or extra syrup that required a wait because there aren't servers constantly moving around the floor. Overall, pretty cool spot to get a bite to eat. Make sure you make a reservation because they book up quickly on the weekends. read more

Cute brunch place! This place has flowers hanging from the ceiling and a colorful wall and a little photoshoot that prints out polaroids. Overall, so cool. It also has the option to add CBD drops to your food, which they claim that when you add it on your order, its 25mg. But I will say, I'm a lightweight, and I didn't feel too much of it, which was disappointing. The food was good. Big portions, so I was filled up. Decent brunch food. Overall, this place has good vibes! And a cute polaroid photoshoot. Other than that, I think the food could be better or more flavorful. read more

Totally forgot to take pictures the food was so good! My gf and I ordered the Wake n' Bacon Burger and the Adobo Philly. We were going to take the food home with us but they had an empty high top along the window while your walking out so we put our food down and I finished my burger in record speed and had a 1/4 of my girlfriends Philly. Some unbelievably tasty sandwiches to say the least. The tots were not the best and we had about 1 or 2 and threw them out but the sandwiches themselves made up for it which is why they're still getting 5 stars. We shall return.

This place had me worried with thinking it was more for the visual aesthetics. I was concerned the food might not be too tasty but just instagram worthy! Boy WAS I WRONG!

I LOVE this gorgeous little brunch spot. I came here with two of my girlfriends and we had such a wonderful meal. Their ceiling had florals that hang and make you feel like you're in a pastel tropical paradise. The menu items are have some Filipino flavors which is so unique to see at a restaurant that offers 25mg of CBD to add to your cocktail for less than $4.00. Ordered to share: Spiced Maple Chicken n' Waffles (w/maple bacon) Ube Flap Jack Stack Big Bird Adobo Philly Dip Drinks: Purple Haze (x3): iced Ube coconut milk, dairy of choice, and iced coffee Since we decided to skip alcohol, but still each ordered coffee drinks and split 4 shared plates, our bill was so reasonable (around $30 pax including tip). It can't be beat! The Spiced Maple Chicken n' Waffles was delicious and their spiced maple syrup was heavenly and even came with "bubble waffle" which is a familiar waffle I've had in Chinese bakeries that we call "don jai" (mini eggs) in Cantonese. I love their variety of flavors; Ube, egg waffle, philly adobo, with American brunch classics with tater tots and thick maple bacon. I listed the dishes in order of my favorite, so I loved the chicken n waffles the best, and the philly adobo the least. Regardless, this place will make you happy and blissful (with or without the added hemp extract). They even have a gigantic photobooth mirror where you can tack your on the wall and bring a copy home as a souvenir. It's just as clever as their address as 420 W Belmont. I will be back! read more
