    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. The decor was warm and inviting. 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.

    Cinnamon Roll French Toast
    Peggy B.

    Fast, friendly service and a menu with all things sweet and savory. The potato pancakes are massive and massively delicious! Took half home for lunch. We visited on a busy Friday and the wait was short. Hubby loved the cinnamon French toast. Bright sunny environment. Perfect breakfast spot.

Yeungling flight, $8 draft for 12oz, yikes. End all, wont be back. We are from St Charles, plenty of options that have better service and great food for a night out. Sorry Noble, but step up.

A lot of places have good presentation without the flavor to follow up. This did not happened here. My daughter really enjoyed her salad and I equally enjoyed the tacos. I am a fan of steak fries, so I was excited to have some nice thick fries with my lunch. The tortilla soup was just as good. I have not set place in this spot since it was Nosh. I don't know why I waited so long. The service and food were great.

This place is incredible... the food is to die for. It's the first place I've been to and did not feel like bloated or so full to where I was sick because the portions were perfect. Nothing here fell short, in fact it's the first place in the burbs where the food wasn't overly salted or fried in some type of oil. Everything tasted fresh. The flavors were busting up in my mouth every bite I took, even down to snowball fight drink we had. I highly, highly recommend the bread cheese appetizer- this was something super unique to me as I've only had grilled up cheese one other time in Brazil, Queijo Coalho.... There was a beautiful twist on this cheese- crunchy, creamy, sweet, savory and the honey and tabbouleh were such a great finish to this dish. Pair this with the fresh bread and it was chefs kiss! We had the beer braised short rib and seabass- two completely different flavored entres that we absolutely perfect. The short rib you literally can't go wrong with- melted in my mouth with every bite - and hats off the the chef who cooked the onions so perfect to actually be able to taste them instead of just carmelizing or salting them! I would call this your typical Midwest comfort dish. The seabass was much different the salad was tangy with the lentils being rich- add a nice cooked crispy top seabass and you got yourself a unique dish of flavors that will have you thinking what's in it after hours! But the star of the show was dessert of course - OMFG - s'mores ice cream sunday ....... I died and went to heaven literally. I have never tasted ice cream that mimicked everything I've ever wanted my ice cream to taste like. It was the perfect temperature (trust me a lot of restaurants it's either rock hard or melted) this was epic. Creamy, almost pudding like and being able to taste every note was wild to me. The graham cracker - yes the freaking graham cracker was the best one I've ever tasted in my life. Clearly I've never had a graham cracker without preservatives before. The chocolate syrup .... Jeeze let me tell if I could swim in it I would.... The service was friendly, prompt and right on time. The server knew all the cues and timing of all the food to come out. She checked in everytime we got something to make sure everything was just right... you can tell she takes her job seriously but also knows how to interact with people - something a lot of servers lack these days so we really appreciated the service. As for the atmosphere- this place blows a lot of the chi city restaurants out of the water. The organic feel but fancy! Oh, and I can actually talk and hear myself think without blasting music over my head. We will be back ... but honestly please change nothing here- everything you're doing here is fantastic!

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).

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.
