Welcome

Super friendly staff, food came out quickly and was delicious. Private off street parking. Seating is limited, be patient!

Coffee

Had the ham and eggs, the ham was delicious very juicy, that's important. Coffee was awesome, the service was great, I got my favorite waitress so that's a plus.

Yolk All-Star Combo, Cinnamon Roll French Toast

First stop when I got to Chicago to one of my daughters favorite restaurants. We were seated immediately in a cute booth. Environment was nice and very clean. On to the food, there were so many great options. I ordered the corned beef hash, I must say it was only ok, the corned beef lacked seasoning, but potato's and eggs were great. My cousin had the build your own skillet with chorizo, spinach, and cheddar cheese it was amazing. My daughters had the Yolk All Star, which is 2 eggs, bacon and French toast of your choice. They got red velvet & cinnamon roll French toast and they both loved it. I definitely recommend this restaurant and I'll definitely go back.

Omelette (ham, cheese, green pepper, mushroom) cheesy grits and pancakes!

Had the chance to have breakfast at Yolk Oak Park today. There was another business at this location last time I was in the area but I decided to dine in anyway. I was seated in a spacious booth with a menu and water was brought immediately. Though there were several breakfast options I ordered an omelette with ham, cheddar cheese, mushrooms and green pepper. My sides were pancakes and cheesy grits. FOOD QUALITY Everything in the mean was done well. The eggs were fluffy, the veggies were fresh and but not undercooked, and the pancake were of good size and taste. I'm not a grits eater but the cheesy grits were delicious and something I would definitely order again. My meal was accompanied by a fresh glass of orange juice. SERVICE My server greeted me was attentive as she took my order. She checked in me a few minutes after I began eating to see if I was satisfied. OVERALL I would definitely recommend Yolk to anyone for breakfast. Not so busy that there's a wait. Upbeat 80's-90's music in the background that wasn't disturbing for someone who might prefer a quiet experience. NOTE: Yelp offered a 10% discount coupon (dine in) for "Checking in" but when I showed it to the server she was unaware of the offer and the owner stated they had no mean to process it (ie code or coupon number) so be sure to mention this if you get the same offer.

Delicious!!!  Everything tastes incredible!

Yolk is a great chain! The food is always so good! 1st time at the Oak Park River Forest location. I got the Rickey Omelet and my partner got the Corned Beef and Eggs. Our server was super sweet. The lady who brought out our food spilled the whole tray of our food; the 1st time brought out our food. My partner got syrup all over her shirt because of the error. She definitely should have brought the table/holder tray stand for bringing out the food. I do understand mistakes happen.

It's was delicious

Great service and great food they were fast to sit us down and very polite. Everyone was in a great mood cracking jokes with the customers having a decent conversation for the time being spent at the table. We asked for different sugar for the health issues we face and they were completely fine with giving us sugar free stuff. Amazing place and restaurant must try again.

Five egg omelette with bacon, sausage, ham, onions, cheese, and mushrooms. "It was the biggest omelette I've ever seen!"

Not worth the price. Pretty bland. Eggs are horrible. French toast was just okay but good. Bacon was superior.

This is a great little bakery that packs a punch! We stopped here for a quick bite between visiting…read moreErnest Hemingway birthplace and starting our Frank Lloyd Wright heritage tour. It was perfect for a quick bite. There were amazing baked goods on display and we chose the kale salad scone, rosemary apricot scone, and pimento biscuit sandwich. All baked goods are beautiful and generously sized. All were delicious and unique. The cafe also has a full compliment of coffee drinks, but as it was a hot day we chose iced tea. I had an Arnold Palmer. There is self serve water as well. The selection is limited to baked goods only. We didn't try the cookies or cakes, but they looked amazing. The cafe has both indoor and outdoor seating in a small area surrounding potted plants making for an inviting setting with limited space. The staff are efficient and calm. If there is a line, as we were told there usually is, it moves quickly. I recommend this spot for a sweet or savory bite.

I can't understand why I have not wrote a review for this bakery. Probably because I eat it so fast…read moreI also don't have pictures to remind me. The location is probably the only issue I have because it's not close to me and their is always traffic. The sweet and savory cornbread biscuits are the best textured goods I have ever had. Soft on the inside with crunch on the outside and full of flavor. I prefer the sweet personally with the butter and homemade jam. The scones are a second favorite of mine with the newest addition of blue cheese, bacon, and sage being my favorite. A second would be the kale and cheddar. The BT Latte is also a staple for me with their homemade cinnamon coconut syrup. Just go already.
