    FRESH FRUIT PARFAIT
    Kevin J.

    Stopped in at noon on a Saturday in August and was sat right away for a table of two. Both indoor and outdoor seating was available. Food was excellent. Way better than expected from a low key environment. We would highly recommend coming for a great, easy brunch on the weekends. Meals ran around $15 each.

    Perfect breakfast and lunch spot in West Town! Super friendly staff and the food is amazing in this cozy spot. They have a very large menu with all the breakfast favorites as well as long list of lunch items! The place is small but does not feel overcrowded. Come for the food stay for the hospitality! Pro Tip: order a single pancake on the side to try them, so good!

    HUEVOS RANCHEROS
    karina k.

    The huevos rancheros was good...just wish for $13.50 plus tax and total $14.96 I got a side like hash browns or potato's or something on the side. Otherwise the food is good and not salty and seasoned just right. Street parking only on a busy street. Free unless it's M-F 4-6pm. See sign. And the food was ready for pickup in 10-15 min as promised.

    Amazing breakfast food! Every time! Love the Intelligencia Coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice.

    Breakfast was phenomenal... the Eggplant soup is a must try! 10 out of 10.

    Food is amazing and service aswell. The Eggplant soup is the best a must try. Came in for breakfast and will be back to try lunch thats for sure.... Give it a 10 out of 10.

    OMELET

    I have often heard good things about Breakfast House and have been wanting to try for some time. I just now realized there are multiple locations as I came on Yelp to write this review. My first experience was via Door Dash order in which I've done twice. I first ordered the Croissant Sandwich which was really good! It includes virginia ham, white cheddar and scrambled eggs on a grilled croissant along with a side of roasted potatoes. Its a nice size as well...like shareable! I also ordered the egg white omelet in which it was ok...also came with the side of potatoes and could be shared. I actually came by to check out the actual restaurant and its your normal everyday diner. Staff is very nice and gives menu tips if asked. I got the Breakfast House Hash and was very excited about it. Unfortunately it lacked the flavor I thought it would have. The dish includes two poached eggs atop a mix of chicken sausage, andouille sausage, roasted potatoes, onions, and red peppers. I had to douse in hot sauce and it helped but still didn't really do it for me. Big enough to be shared. I would come back and try again but would definitely bring someone as portion sizes are very big.

    First time visit. I was intrigued by the Cornmeal Cakes on the menu. The place was packed, but I was able to sit at the counter. Service, food, coffee and vibe was great. I will be back.

    The Breakfast house is a quaint little place on the corner of W Grand and N Wood. The meal I had was delicious. The service was prompt and everyone is very pleasant and kind. I recommend this place to everyone.

    BREAKFAST BURRITO
    Kenna G.

    Solid breakfast spent at Breakfast House. We went around 9:15 on a Sunday and got a table immediately. Friendly staff. Fresh squeezed OJ: 5/5 Breakfast Burrito: 4.5/5 (the sauce on it is delicious, but I would suggest getting it on the side so it's not so hard to eat!) Pancakes: 3/5 (just very average)

    Sour cream pancakes are out of this world! I don't like fluffy cake-like buttermilk pancakes so I'm always on the hunt for something more like sourdough pancakes. The sour cream pancakes here are thin like crepes, super soft and mine were served piping hot! I got a side of bacon also. The berry compote served with the pancakes is good but I didn't finish mine as the taste of the pancakes reigned supreme! Ambiance of restaurant is great and service was quick and friendly. Sorry the photo shows them half eaten but I wanted to demonstrate the thinness of the pancakes. Again, these are more like crepes than fluffy buttermilk pancakes (which are gross anyway!)

    TWO EGGS AND MEAT

    I'm BACK! Here for another conference had to stop in in-person. It was amazing as I expected it to be. The service was fast and hospitable. The location was situated nicely and very clean and fresh. The food was again a 10/10. I brought my son and he left no crumbs on his huge Nutella waffle plate. You guys are amazing.

    Hash
    Ivan M.

    Amazing service and the food was great. One of the best pancakes I've ever had which says a lot since I have had many different pancakes from Chicago. The hash was delicious but a bit heavy on the sodium. Overall great food and will definitely be back

    Supreme Chorizo Hash, Side Buttermilk Pancake w/ Blueberries
    Crystal D.

    While looking for a good breakfast while staying in the area, we stumbled across the breakfast house. We were worried about the wait but when we walked in we were able to sit in a couple of minutes! I would say plan accordingly because the line was looong when we left. The food here was amazing! I enjoyed the Supreme Chorizo Hash, that had literally all of the flavors and included guacamole (I love). With this meal you get the option to have toast or their fluffy buttermilk pancake. You know I already had my eyes on a side of pancakes so this combination gave me the best of both worlds. And I was able to add my favorite addition, blueberries! Not only on top as pictured but in the batter as well. Highly recommend it all!

    Would we be able to bring in our own champagne on a Friday or is that option only available on Saturday/Sunday?…

    As long as they are open, it is BYOB all the time. We have brought liquor and we have brought champagne. Enjoy!

    Do they have mimosas?

    They do BYOB, hope that helps.

    Do they have parking?

    Unfortunately it is a neighborhood spot, so you will have to find street parking. Right on Grand isn't too bad either East or West of the intersection. You can even try one block South, mostly business/warehouse.

Thick, creamy, smooth and rich. The cinnamon came through warm but not too strong, plus a little extra on top that hit your nose before the first sip. Sweet and it almost had this slight earthy note too... hard to explain but good. It even had that little design on top, like the ones they do on cappuccinos. Didn't expect that but it was cool. I finished it slow. Didn't wanna rush it. Just sat there taking small sips and enjoying it while it was still hot.

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.
