    Cute little cafe! They have unique offerings that actually deliver on flavor. Their Birds & the Bees latte had the perfect amount of sweetness and a lovely lavender flavor. They have free WiFi making it a great spot to get work done. It would be nice if the tables were a little cleaner otherwise it's a solid choice.

    i stopped by because i saw that they sold a latte in a honey bear bottle and i knew i needed to have it!! i went in thinking the drink would just be alright but no it was actually so delicious & not overly sweet!! the service was very average, there is some inside seating and noticed people were working from there so it seemed like a great working cafe vs one to meet up with a friend because it was really quiet inside. the vibes inside were super cute! was definitely pricey for a latte so may not get that again regularly but would definitely be back

    Such a cute shop with unique selection!! I ordered Grandmas Bag & loved it. It was sweet & the oat milk went nicely with it. My friend ordered the Strawberry Glaze which is basically an Erewhon Hailey Bieber Dupe. Doesn't compare to the original but it's a solid strawberry smoothie! I would definitely go back if I was in the area :)

    Cute little coffee shop nestled in The Loop. Tiny spot, so it was hard finding places to sit. Thankfully some people left and we sat in the cozy chairs at the front. Service was OK, the woman running the cash register seemed frazzled and the barista (who may have been the owner..?) was very rude to her when she asked questions. I felt bad for her. Pastries were tasty, not much variety though. The coffee was delish, but if you get a sweetened latte make sure to get it half sweet if you don't like superrrrrr sweet coffee. Overall, I'd go back!

    There is street parking but the location isn't well marked. It is connected to another building. You order on an iPad and then the drinks are called at as they are completed. It has a chill vibe with cozy seating areas with low key music. It isn't a huge spot so seating may be limited. I got Grandma's bag - I thought it was okay but I wouldn't order it again.

    First meal I had in Chicago! I came in with friends on a Friday morning to grab some breakfast. The place was busy and there appeared to only be one person working so there was also a bit of a wait. We ordered three drinks and a breakfast sandwich to share. To our surprise, not only was there a charge for alternative milk, but there was also a charge to have the drink iced. It made a drink cost nearly $10. Fortunately enough, the drinks tasted really good. I ordered the Grandma's Bag (butterscotch latte) and the flavor was on point. Not too milky nor too strong for a latte either. The breakfast sandwich was decent, nothing special in my opinion. Overall, the tasty drinks with a price tag are worth a try!

    Not a lot of menu items on a Friday - one barista and cute inside. Not much pastry available though. I went to get a crossiant and there was none to be found.

    The omelette sandwiches are a decadent, flavorful option to start your day right! I loved the soft bread it was served on. The iced galleta is fantastic, nothing better than a bit of cookie butter! For a Saturday morning, it was relatively quiet and a great place to relax before starting the day. The women working were friendly, and I absolutely love the coffee here!

    I had searched for breakfast spots in the area, and this place came up as a suggestion. It's definitely more of a coffee shop than a traditional breakfast spot. They offer a variety of unique hot and cold drink options, but the food menu is pretty limited--just a breakfast sandwich and a few other items. The drink I had was super sweet but still really good. I'd definitely return for the coffee--the service was great, too.

    Brûlee was such a vibe. Everyone was so sweet and they definitely made us feel at home as we were…read morevisiting from out of state for our anniversary. We went on a Thursday for brunch. The restaurant wasn't crowded but I'd still suggest a reservation. The hostess and our server, Amber, oozed with hospitality and personality. We ordered catfish and grits and they happily subbed the sauce that comes with it for another sauce with no seafood because of our allergies. The dish was well seasoned and the grits were so creamy and delicious that they accommodated us and gave us another serving. We also ordered an avocado turkey sandwich on the softest bread. We were able to sub the fries for the delicious smokey collard greens. The sandwich was so big that I took half to go. We also got a cocktail called the Goddess that was picturesque, smokey, and STRONG along with a non alcoholic Dragon Splash they had popping boba. We lived the atmosphere, the service, and the food. I wish I remembered everyone's names to shout them out because they definitely were amazing. I highly recommend this place and I hope u get to go back sooner than later.

    One Star -- My First Ever…read more There are better options nearby. That's the most important thing I can tell you about Brûlée. Ten minutes after walking out, my wife and I were seated at another nearby restaurant beginning what turned into a fantastic 5-star brunch. That review is coming. That will be my 23rd Yelp Brunch review. This one is harder to write. Slow service happens. People have bad days. In 246 yelp reviews. I rarely, ever gave a restaurant less than three stars. Brûlée earned my first one-star review. That's especially disappointing because I really wanted to like this place. I live in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, my experience went sideways before I made it through the front door. At the curb. I'm backing into an open, clearly marked city-metered parking space near the restaurant when a man comes toward my car, arms flailing, shouting that they use that space for valet parking. I rolled down my window because I wasn't sure what was happening. It looked like a city parking space. The sign said it was a city parking space. The city parking app certainly believed it was a city parking space, because it happily accepted my $7. The valet wanted $15. I couldn't understand how I was supposed to pay $15 to "valet" my car in a public metered space I still had to pay the city to occupy. And what happens when enforcement writes the ticket? I paid the meter, parked, and went inside. Inside, things looked promising. The restaurant was more than half empty, which made what followed even harder to understand. There appeared to be plenty of staff, and we were seated at a nice table. My wife and I decided to make a festive Fourth of July brunch of it. We ordered several dishes to share--fish and grits, breakfast potatoes, a strawberry and apple salad, signature waffles, and more. We specifically hoped the salad would come out first. Then things got bizarre. About five minutes after we ordered, a tall gentleman and his companion sat down across the aisle from us. Almost immediately, there was what I can only describe as a welcoming committee. A woman managing the floor warmly greeted him. Several other staff came out to say hello. Everyone seemed genuinely excited he was there. Maybe he was a local celebrity-- it's Chicago, you never know who is sitting at the next table. I have no idea who he was, and frankly, it doesn't matter. What happened next does. A server came out carrying a strawberry and apple salad, stood between our tables, and announced the dish. The gentleman indicated, essentially, "Yeah, over here." And onto his table it went. My wife and I looked at each other. That looked remarkably similar to the salad she had ordered. Then another dish came out. And another. At some point, it became clear that we were watching our entire Fourth of July brunch parade right past us and land on the table across the aisle. The salad we wanted first? Their table. The fish and grits? Their table. The potatoes? Their table. Dish after dish after dish. The gentleman and his companion had been seated only minutes earlier and, from what we observed, had not even had time to order. And still the food kept coming. One of the final items was the signature waffles. By then, so much food had been delivered to their table that the gentleman finally tapped out. No more room. They took them back. That was enough for me. By this point, I could see the woman managing the floor looking at the computer, pointing, and looking back toward our section. Maybe someone had finally figured out what happened. I got up, found our server, and calmly said: "It looks like you gave our entire order to the table next to us. Please just cash me out for what we've already received. We're leaving." Another gentleman asked if everything was all right. No. Everything was not all right. And no, I wasn't interested in getting into a shouting match across the dining room over plates of food. A restaurant should know which table ordered what. Here is what turned a bizarre service mistake into a one-star experience: no meaningful apology. No manager came to the table. No real explanation. No effort to recover the experience. Nothing. I've eaten in a lot of restaurants over a lot of years. I also work with restaurants professionally. I understand that kitchens get backed up and tickets get crossed. And maybe the food at Brûlée is delicious. I will never know. Because some people can cook. Running a restaurant is something else--an exercise in execution, where a lot has to happen to exacting standards. This wasn't a restaurant drowning in a brunch rush. The dining room appeared more than half empty and well staffed. This was also the first time in my life I have ever walked out of a restaurant because of the service. One star is the lowest rating available, and I can't justify anything higher. There are better options nearby.
