They also have a patio, and with the weather being nice, it was easy to just sit outside and relax for a while. I was honestly too hungry to spend much time deciding, so I just ordered one of the sourdough donut ball. It was exactly what I was hoping for. The outside had a light coating of sugar that gave it just the right amount of sweetness without being too much. Once I bit into it, the inside was soft, airy, and slightly chewy from the sourdough, which made it different from a regular donut. There was a subtle tang from the sourdough that balanced the sweetness really well, so it never felt overly sugary. It had a light crispness on the outside, then a warm, pillowy center that practically melted away with each bite. I finished it way faster than I expected. The only thing I forgot was ordering something to drink with it. Looking back, a good coffee would've made it even better. Still, I'd definitely stop by again the next time I'm in the area.

Our family and extended family often ordered birthday cakes from them, and their mango cake was our favorite. When mangoes were in season, they used plenty of fresh mango in the cakes. Their cakes are always fresh, light, fluffy, and not too sweet. My daughter and I also love their individual cakes, especially the Black Pearl and Walnut Cake. Their pineapple buns and egg tarts are her favorites as well. Saint Anna has also been part of our daughter's childhood. When she was little, my husband used to bring her here before or after Chinese school in Chinatown on Sundays. Her go-to breakfast items were the Butter Bun, Ham and Macaroni in Soup, and Diced Ham and Corn in Cream Rice. As she got older, Curry Chicken with Potato became her favorite. She especially loved the potato cubes soaked in the delicious, mild curry sauce. She would always ask for more potatoes and less chicken, haha! Saint Anna is a family-run business, and Sara and Irene, the daughters-in-law, used to take care of the front of house. They were always so friendly and accommodating. After a 6-year hiatus, we finally returned one Friday recently when we happened to be in the area with a friend. Sara is now a co-owner, and it was wonderful to see her again. She immediately recognized us and was so warm and welcoming. She even asked me to relay her greetings to my sisters when she greeted us and again when we were leaving. Those little gestures made our return feel especially meaningful. We were still full from a big dim sum lunch, so my daughter picked up 2 Mini Pineapple Buns and 2 Paper-Wrapped Sponge Cakes, while I got a Red Bean Roll. Everything was fresh, soft, and delicious, and the total came to just under $8, really a great value. Our friend also purchased 2 Fried Sticky Rice Dumplings with Chicken. I had never really paid attention to their limited dim sum selection before, so that was a nice discovery. We love Saint Anna and will definitely be back whenever we're in the area.

I live in the area many years and nice to have a breakfast spot within walking distance , must say the ambience is really nice very clean etc, but that's not what the main reason we go, we go for the food and i must say was not impressed at all , first off the wait time was very long I understand there new and probably need to get adjusted but when my lil daughter was complaining about the wait time I knew something was wrong she never asks that lol and to top it off we finally get our order which was very small on the portion size for the price we paid , the smallest omellete I ever seen that my kid ate in 2 minutes she never eats an omelette that fast we usually have to take it home lol again very small portions for a high price not good , we will be sticking with elle:s pancake house and cozy corner with the generous portions and better wait time and to be honest better tasting food , my family and friends were informed about this they will not be going to this Rip off place read more

The counter to order has a small pastry case with a great display of options. There is a window that allows you to see into the kitchen from the dining area as well. I was greeted upon walking in, and there was a menu board on the wall with what I'm guessing are specials (daily or short term, I'm not sure) as well as laminated menus at the counter where you order. The menu has breakfast sandwiches and lunch sandwiches, salads, and great side options. It was explained that as much as possible is made in house (you can even buy house made pickles or pickled onions! to take home!) and there were several options that sounded delicious. I ended up going with a crispy chicken ranch wrap that was offered on the hanging menu board of specials. I got this to go and treated myself to a sprinkle cookie with it. While I was waiting for my food, Brad chatted with me about his love for hockey and he was so kind! My wrap was packed up super nice in a to go box and in a bag so I could easily walk back home to enjoy it. Still warm as I unwrapped it at my house, this wrap was delicious. It has fresh lettuce and tomato, crispy chicken, melty cheese, and ranch sauce (plus ranch on the side!) and a house made pickle spear.

Then ambiance for dining in was what one would expect from a neighborhood breakfast joint. The building itself was old and I have seen a few different establishments occupied on this corner of Irving Park and Narragansett for the past 10 years. "Eggcellent" would be a reliable and no frills type of diner for the patrons living nearby. The items, in my opinion were priced reasonably (look for their weekday specials). Service was on par when my partner and I opted for dine in one weekday morning. In addition, the environment would certainly be kids-friendly since we saw a decent amount of families there. Free parking is provided in the back of restaurant, yet this is for multiple businesses so the spaces can be quite limited.
