Checking out this popular spot in Chi-Town!
May D.

Great breakfast/brunch place in the heart of Downtown Chicago! Menu has lots of items to choose from. Our table ordered the Chorizo Benedict (only on the winter menu) with a side of Cheesy Grits, Grilled Cheese Supreme, 3 Egg Omelet and pancakes. Service was fast, did not wait long. Everything we had was very good. Place was very clean and organized. Highly recommend!

4 stars for Yolk - West Loop. This is a very convenient location in Chicago - on the bottom floor of the Olgilvie Transportation Center. This is a nice sit down restaurant to get a nice breakfast. All of the employees I encountered were very friendly, including our waitress. The Omelettes are big - generous portions and the meals will surely fill you up. The strawberry orange juice was delicious and very fresh, the mocha was tasty as well. My only gripe is the additional charges for even basic toppings in Omlettes - nothing is included. Overall, I'd recommend if you want a nice fancy sit down breakfast lunch downtown, but it is not cheap.

Great food and large portions and fresh. Nice huge seating. Parking on the street. Big and small parties all good. Wide choices of milk like 2% and oat and soy.

I went back here in 2023 visiting Chicago for a concert and needed a breakfast place. We came across Yolk, walking distance from our hotel. I am not a big breakfast fan to begin with, thus the random combination. In my opinion, the place is probably overrated. I would rather go to a mom and pops shop in my home town than here. The inside was clean and well decorated.

Another never again food is beyond bland. With a faint sprinkle of a piece of hair eyelash or something. Regardless foreign hair in my food in unacceptable.

Honestly I just thought it was alright. Little pricy for what you get. The best was my girlfriends chilaquiles. The chicken or egg sandwich was alright nothing too over the top, imagine just a slightly higher quality chicken patty with egg and some type of Cane's sauce on top. The pancake was way overcooked and dry, sadly not even the chocolate chips could save it. Wasn't sure what was going on that morning or if there was staffing issues but could definitely tell there was an attitude with a couple of the servers too. The host was kind but felt like I was a disruption vs being welcomed. The restaurant was clean even though busy and liked how we had the option to sit outside

I used to visit this location often as it was just around the corner from my condo. If it weren't for the convenient location, I probably would not choose to come here often. The menu is expansive and there is a wide variety of options to please everyone in your party. Prices are high, but that is to be expected given its location downtown in a train station. The food itself is fine - nothing particularly show stopping, but good standard breakfast food. I really like the thick cut bacon here. Service here, in my experience, has been largely overwhelming. Sometimes I get a gem of a server, but most of the time I had issues with servers who were rude or inattentive. If you're looking for a quick breakfast, Yolk is fine, but if you're looking for an overall positive experience, look elsewhere.

Amazing and quick bite while on business. Super great food! I had the salmon Benedict and it was delish. Ask for the house hot sauce.

When are you reopening? Ur fans are crying!!!?

We are now reopened!!!

I see the "reopening date" has been moved to after the end of the year. is this location actually permanently closing?

We are committed to reopening Yolk West Loop. However, we are not sure when that will happen because of the labor shortage.… 

Do they have alcohol?

They do not.

Is this restaurant located in the Metra building, and can you turn around two patrons between a noon train arrival and an opera across the river at 1:30?

Hi Laura. Yolk - West Loop is located in Ogilvie Train station and an hour and a half is plenty of time to order and eat. But please make sure to inform your server of your time constraints just to be on the safe side incase we are very busy. Thanks

Is this Yolk location BYOB?

Hi. All of our Chicago locations are BYOB. Feel free to bring any alcohol. We have various fresh squeezed OJ for mimosas as well as our award winning Bloody Mary Mix for people to make Bloody Marys.

How is the parking situation?

I didn't notice any parking on site or near by. It might be best to take taxi or Uber.

Some people might say, "if you been to one Blue Bottle, you've been to them all", well I beg to…read morediffer when it comes to this location. Located near the Merchandise Mart and overlooking the Chicago River, this location has floor to ceiling windows with amazing views in every direction. Considering the layout, I am sure this place is frequented those who work and/or live nearby. There are plenty of table/chair combos; the perfect setup for laptop and tablet work. I stopped through on Saturday morning and there was a number of people already setup with their respective devices. They also have music playing in the background (at a very acceptable volume level) which for me, just added to the vibe. The staff, were friendly and helpful. Add to that, they did an awesome job of managing the line as it never got too long. As for drinks and food, no complaints here. It's consistent with the Blue Bottle level of quality I have come to expect and appreciate. Overall, I highly recommend checking out this location.

There's some seating behind the other side but it gets filled up quickly. The barista are so nice. I got their hot sweet latte and it was so nice and warm. I was able to WFH for around 4 hours here.

These are some of the best, if not *THE* best donuts I've ever had. Chicago has some excellent…read moredonuts... Do-rite, Voodoo, Firecakes, even Stan's under some conditions; Doughnut Vault beats them all! Maybe it's because they were made an hour or two ago? Maybe they use better/fresher oil? I don't know, and frankly, it makes no difference to the smile on my face. The two donuts I had that day were their daily specials. IIRC, one was a Salted Caramel Old Fashioned, and the other was a Yeast Apple(something) filled donut. The Old Fashioned blew me away. The dough had a very light, but nonetheless present crispness from being fried. The dough itself was sweet, and the salted caramel coating was on point, with actual salt notes coming through. The apple-filled was similarly delicious, though I regret cutting this into pieces and enjoying it over three days, for this made it seem like there was not enough filling! Learn from my mistakes, and enjoy these things whole! More to love is that their prices are more than reasonable for the quality, and the service is friendly, knowledgeable, and fast! If there is one quibble that I have, it's that the donuts were just a touch sweeter than I would prefer. However, this is a matter of personal preference, since these are donuts for crying out loud! Final verdict: Best donuts ever! Go! Do!

We got there around 11 AM and unfortunately, a lot of flavors were already sold out. The interior…read moreis very small. You basically walk in and immediately see the donut counter, with room for maybe 4 customers max. Service was amazing! The guy greeted us as soon as we walked in and had such big energy. Before we looked at the menu he showed us the variety he had left. 9/10 service, definitely a fun way to start the day! This was actually my first time trying an old fashioned donut. The pistachio old fashioned was nothing too special. It tasted more like a dense cake, was slightly oily, but I did like how dense and filling it was. 6/10. Definitely want to come back earlier next time to try more of their flavors!
