Great lunch spot! It's easy to order here because they have a touch screen at the counter, then they call once it's out. It's very bright and clean inside. They had lots of seating too. I ordered the Japanese Curry, Hash and Egg Bowl, and the portions were big! Super filling and was delicious. read more

Stopped in during the afternoon, no line, only 1-2 people there. You order from kiosks. They will grab your drinks right away which was great! When your order is ready they deliver to your table. Friendly and helpful service. Ambiance was decent, little bit plain. Music was chill, too chill though, almost sleeping. Good for tired student to nap! ; ). Got a variety of food that we shared. Overall we liked the food a lot, especially the fact that eggs are good protein. Prepared well, looked attractive and very yummy tastes. Got steak and egg bowl (extra steak, and 2 strips of bacon), chorizo and egg taco verde (green mild), Slagels farm sausage and egg Sando. Would definitely come back again for Bfast or lunch. read more

We were in the area and I was perusing through the "hot and new" section on Yelp and happened across Eggs with Benefits. There's a kiosk inside to order and about ~10 tables inside. My child had the soft scramble sando (soft scrambled eggs, cheese, onion jam, garlic mayo, chives, brioche bun) while hubby and I both had the steak and egg sando (ribeye steak, cage free soft scrambled eggs, onion jam, cheese, garlic mayo, chives, brioche bun). Although it was a bit messy and my sando kept falling apart, the ingredients worked well together and I enjoyed it overall. I wish that there was an option for toast instead of the brioche bun like other establishments since I love the crispy texture. My child also exclaimed that it was the "best lunch ever." Overall, this was a win and we'll be back for more! read more

They have soft scrambled egg sandos with a variety of proteins that can be added. I ordered the steak and egg sando while my husband tried the Slagel sausage, as recommend by the staff. I thought the steak tasted better than the sausage. The dumplings are very tasty and come with a delicious sauce. The hashbrown was okay; I could've done without it. They don't really have anything spicy on the menu but they do have a yummy hot sauce at their condiment station! read more

Loved this place! There was a wait around the corner at Fridas so decided to give it a go and so glad we did. Excellent food all around -- my Japanese curry hash bowl was very tasty. The hot chili sauce was fire and paired well with the spicy pork dumplings. My kids loved the steak and egg bowl + egg sando. Portions for the bowls are very generous.

We were not going to eat out unless we noted something different on our recent trip to Evanston. The name caught our eyes, but then we spoke to Ricardo, who enthusiastically shared the story of the business and the special way they carmelize the onions... The "special sauce" of their Sandwhiches. I could have left 5 stars for the personality and service, but the food merits it on its own. They have blended some different flavors and ideas to the basics without making the choices overwhelming. And, the service was amazing. It was Ricardo who noticed I received the wrong thing and immediately prepared another meal for me, insisting on including the meat when I said he did not have to include it in the redo. Thank you for making our lunch an experience. read more

Not too bad, not too good. Not sure if this is the whole purpose, but everything was disposable which I personally am not a huge fan of. I was dining in once and take away another time. Dining in, the bowl was single use and same with the drinking cups and utensils. The food was pretty middle of the road. The bowl was alright but honestly not that special. The breakfast sandwich i had (bacon and egg) was not my favorite breakfast sandwich. I think it was bottom of the list for me. The eggs are super soft which is fine, but had no flavor except some green onion. It seems Eggs with Benefits at least takes some inspiration from Asian cuisine with the Japanese curry and the fluffy egg sandwich. They had a lot of Korean drink options in the fridge as well. But adding green onions to eggs doesn't make it more Asian. I'm left underwhelmed by the food and have multiple other places in Evanston I'd prefer for a breakfast sandwich than here. The atmosphere inside is also not great, maybe they're still waiting on decorations and lights to arrive but it's really bleak and dim inside which is not captured well through my picture. read more

There's a small lot in front but a bigger public lot right next to it making it very easy to stop in. I opted for the meat floss and hot dog. Can't say it's bad, but seems to be missing some of that savory sauce I've had in other jianbings. They are made fresh to order and even with the gloves, still very hot in the hands. It was empty when I went, presumably a take out spot. No washrooms.

Really nice option to go to wit my vegetarian friend! I went with the reviews and had their…read morebuffalo bowl, it was very filling and the tofu had a nice tasty crunch. The ingredients were fresh and it was a good sized portion. The inside of the restaurant is very trendy and clean. The staff was super friendly and service was so quick. There's also space for outdoor seating. It is in downtown Evanston but parking is pretty easy, but make sure to pay the meter quickly ($2/hour).

Went here on a Sunday night around 7PM, and was happily surprised to see so many people eating here…read moreat this time. Ordering was easy on their digital tablet. they had tables both inside and outside, and since the air-conditioning was cranked, we decided to eat outside. It was so nice that their staff delivered the food to our table. I got their Elechik'n sandwich and fries, while my daughter chose the Thai Sweet Chili Grain Bowl and an Oreo shake. Overall, everything tasted great, except I felt their sandwich was a bit salty. This isn't fine dining by any means, it's more of a vegan fast food restaurant. I love that they had various vegan and animal rights magazines on the counter for patrons to read. Also, the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. We learned that this location recently got a soft serve ice cream machine and they can make sundaes. We'll have to try that another time!

The side of broccoli was disappointing but that was the only comment on food. There was a water drip happening which hopefully gets fixed. Otherwise I'd return!

The servers were very welcoming, pleasant, and very helpful. They paid attention to every detail. I was amazed with very little wait time. While we were still enjoying the appetizer, the main entrees were up and ready. The space was clean and very well lit. Our group was seating in one area which made the service very personal. What can I say about the portions? We all had to have doggie bags. If you find yourself in the area.... It's a must stop. Truly enjoyed everything about Little Honeycomb.
