Too expensive! I was charged $2.99 for a large OJ that wasnt very large, $2.59 for a large milk that wasnt very large and had other food debris floating in it, and who still drinks 2% milk? $3.99 for a side of bacon (3 pieces) with my $9.99 South Beach Scrambler that is served with seasoned potatoes that are not very good. Thats over $20 with tax for me, all by myself, for a simple breakfast. Add a $5 tip, service was fine at 9am on a wednesday, and Thats over $25 for a simple breakfast. I left feeling like I had just been shaked down. Maybe I would go there again for dessert type breakfasts like fancy pancakes or waffles and only drink water with them. Stay away from those seasoned potatoes. Who actually thinks those taste good?

Hands down the BEST breakfasts! Brunch is consistent. Brunch is quality. Brunch staff are friendly and engaging. Brunch specials are creative and tasty. Brunch is the BEST breakfast around. Seriously, you cannot compare them to anyone else in the area. Their chefs are amazing, they just do it right. From indulgent dishes to savory and sweet, to healthy choices - Brunch has it all. Best Bacon, Best Omelets, Best Hash Browns. Dont see a combo you like? Theyll let you make one up. Come on! This is THE PLACE!

I thought it would be a great place to take my grandparents and family. Ive been there numerous times, and each time I wanto give it another shot - it just gets worse. First off, it seems like rocket science to get a glass of water from the waitresses. They serve you a cup of ketchup and a small cylinder of syrup. The bacon is not crispy and very soft. The breakfast potatoes are not tasty and I had onions in my oatmeal. Would not recommend, you will see..

Check the specials near the cashier when you first come in. The chef usually has 3 very interesting and appetizing specials displayed there and the wait staff doesnt always remember to mention them. The wait staff is otherwise very helpful, upbeat, and attentive and all the dishes I have tried from the menu have been delicious, fresh, and somewhat oversized... plan on taking home a doggy bag.

I want to give it 5 stars but the breakfast burrito I had was just okay. It was very greasy from the chorizo, and the chorizo was very bland. I definitely will be going back to get the breakfast comfort foods like pancakes and waffles though. I tried my sons pancakes with Fruity Pebbles and they were really good. The service was excellent too.

Pleasantly surprised by a very diverse and interesting menu. The food was good and they had a good selection of salads. Restaurant was very busy. You might have to park in back like we did (on a Friday) and wait about 15 minutes if you get there at a peak lunch time. Friendly server and host too.

I visited here with family (got here a little earlier to beat the crowds) and found a local favorite where big portions of delicious breakfast meals are served by a staff that clearly aims to please. I was also pleasantly surprised to find that the menu had very reasonable prices.

Wonderful time with a great friend. They have amazing tea for those tea drinkers out there and when you get a bowl of fruit it doesnt come full of melon! Ive only been to this restaurant once but I will definitely return. Their food is amazing and definitely worth the wait!

I have been coming here close to once a month since they opened. The service is friendly, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is comfortable. A restaurant like this was badly needed here when it opened, and it continues to work well in the community.

I just had my first experience... The service was fast and friendly. My Mexican skillet was excellent. The restroom was clean. The prices were fair. I was even able to order a pumpkin spiced laté in the middle of summer. I love this place!

We have been coming here for 5+ years and the food is always great and very fast. Lines on Saturday and Sunday brunch appear long, but you are typically seated within 15 minutes. I order the stuffed potato pancakes or country fried steak.

AMAZING.... The food here is great! I have lived in the area for about 2/3 years now, and I love how they have weekly specials available for you to see when you walk in. I am always greeted with a smile, and the staff is top notch.

These guys are on it. Went in on a Sunday, they were super busy but sat us right away. My coffee was never more than 1/3 empty; the server even was carrying a full tray of food and with her other hand stopped to fill our coffee! 5 STARS!

OUR FAVORITE PLACE FOR BRUNCH! Their presentation, menu selection, food quality, prices and friendly staff are the best. We drive all the way from Vernon Hills to get here. Please, please open a restaurant in Vernon Hills.

Everytime I come home to Lake Zurich, I make sure to come here for breakfast. Even if it takes an extra 10-15 minutes to get here compared to a place lake Walker Bros. It is definitely worth it 10x over. Try the skillets.

THIS PLACE IS SO GOOD! The loaded potatoes pancakes are amazing and I live and breathe for there strawberry banana crepes. This place is really pretty inside and has very welcoming service. I love it here!

The food and service are great. They always have something new on the specials. Their staff is always friendly and greet you at the door. This is the best breakfast place Ive been to in the suburbs!

Bustling little cafe with great food and extensive selections for both breakfast and lunch. Alcohol is served here as well. Ask for Abigail, shes cute and sweet and will serve your party well.

Happened upon this gem on a random Google search to kill some time . Had the brunch chicken sandwich and the wife had strawberry filled French toast. Both excellent and definitely will return

Love Brunch Cafe. Great service and the food is ready fast and is so delicious. With a variety of dishes, some creativity and good specials. Their pancakes are great too!

Always great food, can get busy and packed quickly because of how popular it is, if youre planning on sunday brunch or any holiday you should probably call ahead.

Ed Becerra

Food is always really good! The wait can be a bit long, but you can call to make a reservation beforehand. Staff is always really great and food comes out fast!

It was lunch time but I felt like breakfast food. They do great on both accounts; I have yet to order anything on their menu that is not awesome.

Jon Hoglund

Great food!! Usually very crowded with good wait though. Next time well make sure to order take out. Hope they move to a bigger location soon.

Very busy place. Be sure to set aside some time, there is a wait generally all day on Saturday. Ive been going to Nicks since they opened.
