Chipy is located in a mall wirh easy parking. I came here randomly for lunch one day. Glad I did as it was a good experience. Walking in, the space was really small but cozy. I don't think it's suitable for large parties but it was not loud. Service was really quick and friendly. And food came out really quickly as well making this a great spot to come for lunch if you're on a time crunch. I got the mexican omlette which had a slight apice kick to it and the chorizo gave it good flavor. Eggs were nicely cooked, not runny and pancakes were super fluffy and tasty. Highly recommend. read more

Hard to believe that a place like this exists in the suburbs. While the curb appeal suggests a typical cafe or a diner, the food is absolutely top notch and the service is friendly in an authentic way. I need to return to try their other dishes. read more

I didn't know you needed to make a breakfast reservation for Father's Day. I wrongfully assumed that all the dads would be on the golf course, or the pickle ball court, during breakfast. All of our breakfast standbys seemed to be full, and we just happened upon Chipy Cafe. It's a small restaurant, so we sat outside, and the weather was hot, sunny and perfect. I ordered the Italian Bread Bowl and I loved it. It was a hollowed out bread, filled with tomatoes, spinach, onions, mozzarella, with over easy eggs on top. They grilled the bread, and they sliced off the top and grilled that too. I thought it was excellent (I usually don't eat too much bread). My companions liked their breakfasts ok, but I loved mine. I'll go back again! read more

Generous portions of well made breakfast food. Wife had the soup of the day and it was very well made and seasoned.

Nice spot for brunch. It is surrounded by many office building therefore I think it's popular amongst locals. The vibe is like a small cozy everyday coffee go to place. We had pancakes, egg on the traditional bread. The owner seems like a nice and friendly person. Staff members were good as well. Food was nice. read more

I was craving a BLT and this place did not disappoint. I also had the split pea soup which was a very large serving and it was the best Ive had. Split pea can be tough to get just right but this place did it. If I were a local this would be on my go-to! read more

Another hidden gem. Went for first time for lunch. Small place with a nice decor and well run that serves breakfast/lunch. We split tuna melt that we split because it comes in two half's on an English muffin with fries. It was very good. Also had a bowl homemade Broccoli Cheddar and Split Pea and ham soup which was hot and delicious. Service was handled by two people and was quick. Must everything seemed to be priced $12.75 which is interesting. Peoples dishes around us look delicious also and very large portions. Will be back! read more

Smaller place - owner very kind and attentive. Great food and lower prices than most breakfast restaurants. Better food too. Saturday before 9am not crowded. Fresh, yummy breakfast or lunch. read more

Chipy Cafe is a nice little restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch meals. They have a nice menu with generally reasonably priced items. Located in the City Park shopping plaza in Lincolnshire, Chipy Cafe is a good, no-frills, no-gimmick place to go for brunch, which is what I went for. It's like mom & pop type establishment, which I believe is run by a husband-wife duo. When we got here, we were promptly seated and provided with the menus. The restaurant was semi-busy between patrons dining in and those doing carry-out. We were asked if we're ready to order promptly as well. I ordered the kids two-by-two from the kids' menu, which had two eggs done your way and either two bacon strips and two sausage links (no pancakes) for $7.25 which I thought was a bit high in price for a Kids dish by the virtue of not having pancakes included. I also ordered hot chocolate and a Mexican omlete with hash browns and regular buttermilk pancakes. My omlete had chorizo, onions, jalapeños, cilantro, and Monterey Jack cheese. The food was good. My kid and I enjoyed our meal. The service was nice and prompt. The menu pricing is pretty reasonable. The restaurant got more busy after we got there which is good. I recommend checking out Chipy's was delicious breakfast/ lunch food options. read more

Chipy Cafe is the cutest little place to relax and have a nice comforting meal. Quiet, super clean, and excellent service by the owner Michael and his staff. My friend and I were tired of most of the other places in the area and decided to give this place a try. So glad we did. It's a unique hidden gem of a place as it only has around 12 tables. It's relaxing, quiet and casual. It's nicely decorated and the menu has a good variety of items in every category even for the pickiest eaters or people on diets. All the food was made to order, super fresh and delicious. My quesadillas was piping hot and generously filled accompanied by a large container of pico de gallo sauce and fresh cut fruit in place of fries! Everyone else's food look scrumptious too! We both agreed this is going to be our new "go to" meetup spot! We both loved this place. Prices are decent and quality is king here! read more

We ordered Chipy for breakfast a few more times since my last review. Each time there seems to be something wrong with my order, but it's been much more consistent than previously. For example, my Benedict has the spinach and tomato as promised, BUT they forgot to include my side item altogether (and no it was not included separately in another container - just not included at all). Also, their avocado toast is super yummy and under $10 (at the time of writing this review). Chipy is delicious, but you need to double check your orders. Hoping my next order will be a 5 star. read more

this is a very cute place. I wouldn't call it a café more like a small dinner. The guy in the front did everything. Took orders, helped walk ins, served the food, and cleared the tables. He was very nice and welcoming. Issues I got the veggie omelette, toast, and fruit cup. The toast was burnt could only eat one piece the omelette had no flavor. I have to keep adding salt and pepper. The veggies in the omelette was barely cooked. They were still hard. The fruit was good My major issue was the guy in the front was doing everything and then going and touching peoples food without washing his hands or putting gloves on. he cleared someone's table, touching there used utensils and then went behind the counter and started platting toast!! I was very put off by that and left. Nit sure if I'll come back to be honest. read more

I think the omelet was as big as my head :D Seriously, the 4-egg California omelet took over about half my plate and was oh so delicious. I chose fruit rather than potatoes and whole wheat bread. I only made it through about half of my late breakfast. I just happened to be in the area and was craving a healthy (and late in the morning) place and just happened to find Chipy Cafe. It's a small spot with a splattering of tables. But definitely worth it! And I see they also do a good amount of take-out so you can always order and go. read more

5 stars for the mushroom soup! Cute place with only 10 small tables..mostly dueces. My husband had a chopped salad with blue cheese dressing. There was a puddle of water in the bottom of the salad bowl. Like...drain the water before you serve a salad!? I had one of the worst reuben sandwiches ever! Sooo disappointed. The meat was like that Buddig crap. Not much cheese.. and no horseradish?? Who serves corned beef without horseradish?? fries were cooked in old oil... If in the neighborhood again, we would go somewhere else... read more

Good food for a Saturday breakfast. It was a little packed when we went in, but cleared out about halfway through our meal. Typical breakfast fare with good-sized portions. The couple of groups on either side of us were a little loud and talkative (the tables were a little close) but otherwise things were comfortable and tasty. We'll be headed back for another visit in the future for sure. read more

Absolutely fantastic. Yelped breakfast spots near OHare and Chipy popped up. This place is worth the drive. Super friendly staff. Ambiance is straight forward dinner like and inviting. Locals hang and talk current events. Had the "breakfast of Champions"...amazing. Perfectly cooked omelette and crispy hashbrowns. Friend had the Steak Bowl, he raved about the quality and flavor of the steak. Super affordable and the quality cannot be better. Thanks for a great last meal in Chicago. read more

The food was good and the servings were large. I enjoyed the egg and vegetable hash that I had and my husband loved his vegetable omelet. The service was fast and the employees were kind. The place was clearly a popular spot as the tables quickly filled up after we had arrived. I recommend checking it out if in the area. read more

Some friends and I were looking for a restaurant to quickly pick up lunch, and stumbled upon Chipy Cafe on Yelp! We were able to order directly from the Yelp app, and pick up at the restaurant. Once we got there, the order was ready for us, and I was able to just walk up to the counter to grab. We tried the Northshore Club, the BLTA, and the Chicken Panini. All of which were delicious, they came with a side of your choice of fries, or fruit so naturally we decided to go with fruit - and it was the right move because the fruit was delicious! Chipy is also open for breakfast and lunch! We will definitely be back sometime soon to dine in the restaurant! read more

It's very good for a breakfast/lunch cafe. Above average number of items on menu. Delicious split pea and ham soup, very tasty Reuben, and the fries are perfectly crispy. Service is friendly, casual atmosphere, and several tables outside if Al Fresco dining is your preference. I recommend. read more

This is a wonderful small breakfast place with good food and nice people. I loved my bowl where you can customize it with whatever you want, and throw your egg on top. The size was great. I got to take some home and it was delicious. We went on a Saturday morning and didn't have any problems getting a space but the food is good so I imagine it could get crowded. We did have a reservation, but didn't need it. There was space available. Four stars only because the pancakes were just OK even though the bowl was wonderful. read more

Excellent food, low prices, and terrific service - - chippy Café is our go to place for breakfast and brunch - - highly recommended!

Third visit. Great friendly service. Reasonably priced. Perfect portion sizes. Good atmosphere, not loud or over crowded.

It's hard to make a name for yourself in a sea of breakfast places, but Chipy Cafe has done just that! This place is great! It's tucked away in a failing strip mall in Lincolnshire, but that adds s bit to the place as it's quiet when you sit outside. Which is better than the hustle and bustle of other places with outdoor seating. Inside has tables on either side of the room and the owners, a family, led by Michael, welcome each person as they enter the establishment. Often, Michael himself, his wife or son will be waiting on you, friendly as can be, to offer up suggestions for breakfast, lunch, or brunch. And it really doesn't matter shat you order, it's all delicious and fresh. And it's refreshing not to be rushed out of a restaurant these days. They're happy to have you, remember you by name, and will accommodate you if you have a large party or event. Chipy Cafe us my favorite breakfast place in the area for food, service, and ambiance. This truly is a place where they know your name and treat you like family when you're there. read more

Fast service and big portions. The wait staff was kind and attentive. Try the pancakes! Would for sure go again.

Walked into this place with a friend without knowing what to expect, and we were pleasantly surprised. The ambiance is a little off for a brunch place, we thought it was a fast food restaurant, but it is actually a dine-in restaurant. The quality of the food was amazing, to my surprise. I didn't think it'll be that yummy. Also, the price was actually great as well - it was very affordable. Service was great for a small place like that too. I'd go back in a heartbeat :) read more

Food and service are both superb! Love the quantity and presentation of the foods. Made with care, and all were very fresh. The kids nugget was so crispy and the fresh toast was soft fluffy. All done very well! The Lox Benedict was intensely flavorful, the smoked salmon was cooked just right still tender but also has the cooked salmon texture. The garnish up top added the fragrance just right. Hashbrown was also really good, not soggy like other places and not overly burnt. The Reuben sandwich was also really good, I like the ratio of the meat to sauerkraut but my husband would've preferred more sauerkraut. I like the ratio because it's not overly sour and doesn't overpower the meat flavor. For once the Reuben sandwich is not soggy, and the toast is crisp evenly throughout. Fruits are also very fresh! The wait did take a while and the place is not super easy to find and the outdoor seating area was pretty limited since it's just right in front. But owner was very accommodating in getting the tables set up for us. Will definitely come back! read more

Not a fan. The owner is really rude and got upset when I questioned why the items we ordered was not as described. I was not at all rude or mean, I just asked if maybe I had gotten the wrong thing. He aggressively responded that they changed their items. If you change a menu item, shouldn't you update the description too? There's not much to be said here. There are so many great breakfast/brunch places. Don't settle for less, and definitely don't settle for a place that doesn't care at all about their customers. read more
