    Raspberry pancakes with diced potatoes
    Maggie M.

    Really nice they have some parking right out front and the parking garage is really close. Got seated right away. Our waitress didn't come by for a while and apologized as she wasn't aware of us being sat in a spot that wasn't usually hers I think. Well she was very kind and made sure we have got everything we needed and checked up on us multiple times to make up for it. I had coffee and asked for hot water, which I was offered option of lemon and honey. Coffee was really good and wasn't too strong and was really smooth. I ordered the veggie omelette added cheddar cheese. There were lots of veggies and had perfect amount of cheese added. If you want extra cheese then I would suggest to just ask. Very large portion. Came with choice of diced pototoes and fruit, but chose the hash browns. Waitress suggested to cook a bit little longer for the crispiness, which was really good suggestion and was delicious. Also came with a choice of toast or pancakes, so I choose pancakes with blueberries. Very fresh and delicious blueberries. My friend had the raspberry Gluten free pancakes and it was huge. Also had the diced potatoes and cooked longer to be extra crispy. Definitely had leftovers and recommend trying breakfast/brunch.

    Met a friend here for breakfast. They do not have a separate GF menu but do offer some options on the regular menu. I ordered GF pancakes with raspberries and diced potatoes. The server indicated the pancakes are cooked on the same griddle. I asked if they could wipe it down and she said yes. She also indicated all the breakfast potatoes are GF. I also ordered a chai which was really good.

    Mediterranean Omelet

    Always a good classic place for brunch before walking around the river. Plenty of space, no waiting, and huge portions. Usually leftovers for another meal or perhaps two. Fresh ingredients and tasty. The meditation omelet was perfect, light, and fulfilling served with diced potatoes crispy outside and tender inside. I had the Pancake, which satisfied my sweet tooth. Refreshing and indulging Berry smoothly. The servers could be a bit more friendly, I get the feeling they have a sense of entitlement like they are doing me a favor when I'm a paying customer. Well. . . Good servers are hard to come by. Will keep coming back for the food and the walk after indulging myself.

    This was our first time eating at Brunch Cafe! There was plenty of parking and many tables inside the restaurant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor was warm and inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered a vegetable omelette with pancakes. Cheese was extra, but I did add cheddar to my omelette. The cheese should have been free like other brunch places. It was a cold day and this was perfect comfort food. I had a nice breakfast. I came here with my friends, but I will bring my family next time.

    Sweet Potato Skillet, Stuffed Portobello Scrambler, and Potato Crusted Omelet
    Bailey P.

    It's been a VERY long time since I'd been to Brunch Cafe. Last time I remember waiting over an hour for a table so I was pleasantly surprised when we were seated right away this morning. The hostess and our waitress were both very helpful and attentive. Everything on the menu looked great but I ended up trying the sweet potato skillet. The sweet potato tots were perfectly crisp and the apple and gouda paired so well together! I swapped my side for fruit which was a mix of pineapple, honey dew, cantaloupe, and grapes which were all very fresh and high quality. My aunt ordered the potato crusted omelet which was so creative and looked great too! The other members at my table opting for pancakes as their side but asked them to-go and they came in to-go boxes which was perfect! Overall very happy with my visit!

    Right when you walked in, you were greeted with the friendly staff right away. I noticed the cleanliness of this place right away as well. I got seated first while waiting for my friend and the waitress came by right away to greet me and grabbed water first. My friend and I ordered and shared two entrees. We got the caliente omelette and the country fried steak. And she ordered pancakes with a side of bacon and fruits for her daughters. They brought out the food really fast and service was amazing. Our waitress knew that we were sharing the entrees so she gave us our own sides of salsa and sour cream and made sure we had 2 plates. I will definitely recommend and be back at this spot again.

    Ordered a vegetarian Omelette on 10/23/24 at 9:34 am.  Half way through eating my omelette, I bit into a penny mixed with my omelette.

    Penny in the middle of my vegetarian omelette. Complaint filed with the Kane County Health Department.

Their preorder system is incredibly smooth, though it does require a bit of planning since you need to order at least a day in advance, and they are closed on Mondays. I scheduled an order on a Friday for a Tuesday morning pickup. I picked up a dozen GF donuts and a half-dozen chocolate chip cookies, and both were fantastic. They offer a ton of different donut flavors, though the ordering system limits you to choosing three varieties per dozen. I went with the banana bread, chocolate with chocolate icing and the brown sugar with chocolate icing, and they did not disappoint. The cookies were just as impressive, hitting that perfect texture without any of the dryness you sometimes find in gluten-free baking. The shop itself is super cute and perfectly set up for a quick visit. All the preordered to-go items are neatly laid out on a cabinet for a seamless pickup. If you have some extra time, they also have drinks and food you can order at the counter, a shared parking lot that makes stopping by a breeze, and a nice outdoor seating area. I will definitely be back to mix and match some new flavors next time.

I love the candlesticks they have lit at the tables. There's a a view of the kitchen as well. To drink, I had the Dip in the Backyard Kiddie Pool (very refreshing) and Fresa Fresca (basically a strawberry margarita and it was super refreshing and tasted like strawberry juice). For dessert, we shared the oreo carjillo. It was pretty strong to me, but it definitely tasted like Oreos and milk! To eat as an appetizer, they gave us complimentary bread and butter and we ordered the sundried tomato oil to go along with it (a must). Their bread is so soft and fresh. We also got the bone marrow (forgot to get a photo), and it was some of the best we've had!! For our entrees, we got the two pasta dishes. They called them "small plates" but it was the perfect amount of food for us with our appetizers. I had the spicy carrot rigatoni pasta and it was super fresh. I love that they cooked the pasta al dente.

So I arrived in a wheelchair due to my recently broken pelvis. Thank goodness my husband Ed is giant, tall and strong and can easily carry me around when needed (in this case to and from the car). Inside, the Host was very accommodating for a table. She moved a chair somewhere else so there was room for Ed to park me and my wheelchair. We were able to get disabled parking (which I temporarily have), and there was a ramp at the entrance but no button to press to automatically open the double doors. . Onto the stuff Yelp readers care about. My husband loved the coffee and was offered a coffee for the road when we left. Pretty much I hate "American Breakfast" at 99% of places because the only vegan offering is potatoes. Sometimes not even that if the potatoes are cooked in butter, not oil. They were vegan by default here, cooked in oil My husband got his very favorite, Eggs Benedict. Whether he likes the Hollondaise or not pretty much determines if we shall return to a breakfast diner. He said there was nothing bad about the Eggs Benedict, but he would not return for them. There was nothing much for vegans either, so I would not return. We both (an omnivore and a vegan) both greatly disliked the breakfast potatoes. However, thservice was fantastic, especially as a first-time person in a wheelchair. Celeste, our server, could not have been more kind. Sandy, the Manager, stopped by every table to make sure things were going well. Honestly, that earned them the 4 stars. If I had rated them on the food alone, perhaps a 2 star. So for us, we will not be back. But I would suggest that others do not try this place out.
