    Harding Cafe's omelette, overcooked and browned.
    Seven N.

    The reviews for this place are very good. The staff and the cleanliness of the restaurant is wonderful. However, if you order coffee, be aware that it is Café con Canela which has cinnamon in it, and it cannot be removed. They don't make coffee without cinnamon flavor in it. The Avocado Clucker Sandwich was delicious, but the fries were bad (if you're gonna make hand-cut fries, they gotta be crispy not brown and soggy). My biggest problem was that the omelette was way overcooked and done improperly. They just chuck a bunch of vegetables together and mix it with eggs and overcook it almost like Egg Foo Young. Mine was kind of tough throughout and brown on the outside. An omelette should have the various selected vegetables inside a very lightly cooked and folded over style. Either folded like a taco or rolled like original French style. The Mistake: Cooking on too high of heat results in a rubbery texture, brown eggs. If someone showed the cooks how to make a real omelette, this place would stand out!

    I'm getting over the flu and it was my first day out of the house. Having been on a soup diet over the last week, I wanted something solid for a change. I wanted something soft, easy to chew, and sweet. Not being from around here, we had to idea where to go. Every place we tried to dine at was a fail because we couldn't find parking and ended up in narrow streets, traffic, and got hangrier by the minute. I consulted Yelp and found Harding Cafe, which had fantastic photos of their food. Gave it a try and found it refreshingly simple but amazing. We were greeted the moment we entered the restaurant, seated, and served by staff who were genuinely there to serve us -- not because it's their job and scheduled to be on the Saturday shift. It's the little things that really impressed me. Going back to my restaurant days, our manager taught us that the customers should not be able to hear the kitchen staff or the workers or noise -- just be able to enjoy the ambience of the restaurant, some light music, and conversation amongst diners. That's what I witnessed and heard. It was extraordinary! The menu was a simple one-pager for breakfast and lunch on the flip side. There were many choices on the menu, but I much enjoyed looking through the photos much more to decide what I was going to order. The server had to come back three times before I could make up my mind. I settled on chocolate chip pancakes and my husband on the turkey club. Both were excellent! I had not even realized that I never added syrup to my pancakes. They were so light, fluffy, and delicious! My husband swears that was the best turkey club sandwich he has ever had, and he was even surprised with the presentation of the fries. The chef clearly put some time with the preparation of our food without just throwing it together on the plate. This was exactly what we needed today. Simple. Elegant. Casual fine dining. A getaway from the hustle and bustle.

    A really nice cafe to grab breakfast if you're in the area. I found this place by chance because I was looking for a breakfast spot near the pickleball clubhouse. Servers are very attentive and kind. The place is clean and bright with big windows. The food is tasty and pleasantly surprised.

    California turkey Panini

    I've been to this place twice now and both times the food and service were spot on. The first time I ordered the California turkey Panini and it came out quickly with a side salad. I had it with a cold brew coffee, which was also very good. Second time I came, I had a veggie omelette, which contained broccoli, zucchini, spinach, and feta. The combinations were evenly portioned & it tasted great! I honestly love supporting smaller businesses in different neighborhoods like this. I think as a whole many people get fascinated by the hottest, newest thing when there are so many smaller companies that you can discover when you're in different neighborhoods. I stumbled upon this place first when I was in the area for a meeting and then came back a second time when I had another meeting in the area. Highly recommend this business for breakfast or lunch and I also recommend sitting at the bar for the fastest service. This is a BYOB place so if you are looking to drink alcohol, I recommend bringing some with you. I didn't check the corkage fee, but that may exist.

    Our go to spot after church service at nearby Anthem Church. This place is family-owned, with the father as owner and chef, uncle as the coffee runner and everything else, son as the waiter and server, and mom keeping the counter. Really good food, friendly staff, and great vibes

    Amazing place, the staff is incredibly nice and remembered us, we have come here for two birthdays and they were so sweet and accomodating. The music is so casual and calming, this place is a staple for us.

    If you aren't coming to Omarcitos, you are missing out. My boyfriend loves all the Jibaritos but…read morethe Lechón Plate may be the best dish I've had anywhere in the city (and I have been to Michelin star and Top 50 Bars rated spots around Chicago). We split the Tacos Dorados De Pollo En Consomé as an app for the first time today and it was simply perfect. The lemonade is made super fresh. I have a feeling I may have to try everything on the menu. The energy is immaculate - maximalist mix of colorful tables and chairs, plants, original paintings, and a signed poster of Guy Fieri. The people who work here are so kind and helpful. The music is not so loud that you can't talk. There's an open-air indoor area and an outdoor section. If you get here before it gets too crowded, it's not a bad place to sit and read a book either.

    Yasss Omarcitos is exactly it!! I can not count how many times I have been. The food is…read moreconsistently amazing. Always hits 100/100. The place is getting popular, very popular. So if coming during peak times expect a small line and enjoy Omar is amazing standing at the window making sure everything runs smooth. He is yelling out hello papis left and right. He knows and loves everyone. The menu is full of everything is fire. Enjoy it this is one of the best on this country
