I ordered the Mexican omlette and blueberry pancakes. Pancakes were a little dry around the edges, but both were delicious and service was great! Home made strawberry jam was yummy too. Holy cow I loved the crispy breakfast potatoes with green peppers and onions. I hate soggy veggies and these were perfect! Don't judge a book by its cover. I walked in and the place was very small. However there was cute decor and it was very clean. I'll definitely be coming back maybe a little too much as I've just ordered take out and I was just here two days ago read more

Great food and service - the entire family loved their omelette, French toast and crepes. Thanks Manny for a great brunch.

The only reason I am giving a 4 instead of 5 is because it was cold inside and they didn't offer simple grape jelly:) The service was terrific, food was fantastic and portions were HUGE! We had enough left over for a second meal! The prices are very affordable, also. We will definitely be back! read more

The place is cozy and warm. We had breakfast here. The food is simply delicious - like home-cooked! The owner Manny himself cooks the food. I love the red potatoes with the dishes! I sure would come back and recommend the place to friends and family! read more

Manny's is a hidden gem! It's a small, chef-owned restaurant that invests everything in its food and service. Manny greeted us, and our server, Melanie, was sweet. We each enjoyed our breakfasts. The avocado toast w/ pickled red onions and apricot jam was so good I thought I was going to lose my mind. Great coffee, too. Thank you, Manny's! We will be returning. read more

Tucked in a strip mall, it's easy to miss. Small place but such tasty food. The skillets & other egg dishes are quite good and the banana Nutella crepes are delicious. Good coffee, fresh ingredients and attentive service! Simple diner, no fancy overpriced suburban breakfast place here. But it's clear Manny takes great pride and effort in his restaurant. read more

Awesome food and phenomenal service! I popped in after finding this place on Yelp and was not disappointed. Will definitely return!

We're in town for a wedding and we needed a place to go for breakfast near our hotel. We went here and the food was incredible. The staff was very personable and made us laugh the whole time! read more

Very disappointed..especially based on other reviews. Had omelet and bacon. Bacon came out 1st--was cold. Omelet 5 minutes late and cold. My counterparts pancakes looked good, but her eggs overcooked. Eggs came out 5 minutes before her pancakes. Very mediocre experience. read more

Some of the best chocolate chip pancakes I've ever had. Such a great addition to the town. Owner manny is so nice and personally introduces him self (you never see that anywhere) and waitress was super nice and a great waitress. Had a great breakfast today. read more

We were looking for a quick bite to eat and my daughter wanted breakfast food, so we stopped at Manny's. I'm so glad we did! Everything was amazing and so delicious! The chilaquiles were especially good! Service was also super friendly and Manny himself even checked in on us. I highly recommend this place!! read more

Southern style chilaquiles were on fire!!! I am definitely coming back for those again. Freshly Orange juice was also delicious. The chicken and waffle was ok but I wouldn't have it again. Looking forward trying other things on the menu. read more

Freshly made from scratch and great place for a pickup meal. Love the Chilaquiles and home make jam.

Fantastic place, Manny is a very caring owner and everything we have eaten has been terrific. They do a big carryout business too. Their hashbrowns and bacon may be what carried our daughter through the worst of the Covid lockdown! read more

An incredible local find. Food is delicious. One of the best omelette's I've ever had. Service is great too. Highly recommend - an awesome restaurant. read more

Fresh ingredients prepared perfectly! The Vegetable Benedict delicious! I hope this place lasts because a reliable Breakfast / Lunch cafe is difficult to find! Great job! read more

Friendly and good food with above average portions. Small place so it gets busy fast. Worth the trouble.

My wife and I tried Manny's the other week. I love this place. Food is great and place is clean. The place is small. My wife ordered a omelette and I had chilaquiles. The chilaquiles was amazing. Fresh jams, good coffee. Can't wait to go back again. read more

The chicken waffle is good. I like to eat the waffle with some syrup and some fruits but their chicken waffle definitely changed my mind. There is a chicken waffle on other many spots but it is my first time to try it in this place. The waffle is good perfectly cooked. The chicken is in between dry and juicy kind of but it is more on the juicy side and the outside is crispy! I absolutely love it. The place is also clean and it feels cozy inside. The staff are warm, accommodating and friendly too. The coffee I had is also good not too strong and not too sweet either. I've been here for a few times and with those times I never been disappointed with their food and their service. I only try few from their menu and there is still a lot to know and discover. read more

We tried Manny's for the first time today, and we loved it! Nice, small, cozy restaurant. I got the Mexican omelette, which was very good. My wife got the Eggs Benedict, which were cooked perfectly, and delicious. The potatoes with onion and green peppers on the side are outstanding. My son got the Nutella Banana Crepes, which were amazing! We shared a small order of the biscuits and gravy. They were probably the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had. They are a bit on the spicy side, which I love. The atmosphere is very friendly here! We can not wait to return. I just wish they had more skillet options. read more

Amazing food! Homemade Jams!! Fresh squeezed Orange juice! Ordered the chilaquiles, Manny's has some crunch to it so it perfect! I ordered a side of potatoes; so yummy. Yes, Manny himself does come out when he can to talk with the customer. I find that a great way to connect with your customers because it makes it personal. read more

Wow. I'm afraid to say this because I'll never get in the door, but the food is super fresh, flavorful, and filling. The biscuits and gravy are some of the best ever. And don't forget to get some of the homemade jam. read more

Food is delicious and the staff is super friendly! We ordered the Chilaquiles and it was the best we have ever had. Super spicy with a lot of flavor! Our daughter had the kids breakfast plate, so of course we tried her food. The pancakes have a lot of flavor and the bacon was awesome! We will definitely be back! read more

Ordered a lot of take-out from Manny's during the pandemic. the food is always fantastic. Highly recommend the chicken & waffles, pretty much all of the skillets, and their unique and delicious take on a Cuban sandwich. read more

Absolutely in love with Manny's Cafe. Today was my second time back and I was just as impressed as the first time we came. The fruit is always fresh and we love the fact that it's farm to table. I've gotten the crepes and the biscuits & gravy and loved them both. The menu is pretty vast for a cafe and even has a kids section and lunch items in addition to the breakfast options. I typically have to take food home but at Manny's I always clear my plate. 100% would recommend! read more

Manny's cafe never disappoints! It's a very small breakfast and brunch spot with great food made from scratch! I have been going to Manny's for a couple years now and the chilaquiles, very veggie skillet, banana foster french toast, very berry crepes and Cuban sandwich are my favorite! read more

Great hidden gem. Small but cute, clean and great food. Owners made it a point to introduce themselves and share their story. Food was delicious. Pancakes nice and fluffy, strawberries were so fresh and sweet and eggs Benedict were delicious. Poached eggs were cooked to perfection and hollandaise sauce creamy and luscious. Potatoes were cooked and had wonderful flavor along with onions and peppers. Orange juice fresh squeezed. Their claim to fame is fresh ingredients and farm to table concept. Definitely fresh and flavorful. I would suggest you try this neighborhood gem. Breath of fresh air if you're looking for a quiet breakfast place!! We are definitely going back read more

FABULOUS!!! Had breakfast here on a Sunday morning and were able to eat outside. The young server girls were exceptionally nice-the food was fresh and delicious!! My skillet was amazing. My daughter had the chicken and waffle-the waffle was huge and the chicken was fresh and hand dipped in batter just like the server said it was. My husband had the chicken sandwich and it was huge and just as fantastic! We love family run places and will come back here very soon! Thank you for one of the best breakfasts!! read more

This particular item is my all time favorite thing to eat on this entire planet, so when I found Manny's cafe and saw this dish on the menu, I immediately had to try it. I had very high expectations coming in & those expectations were exceeded. I absolutely loved the French Toast, it looked delicious upon arrival (I mean just look at that picture), and it tasted even better. Better yet, I only live 5 minutes away from this establishment, so I definitely will be coming back often for this dish. I was truly blown away, and my excitement was fulfilled. Thank you guys at Manny's. Good service, great food. Very small restaurant but extremely well worth it. read more

Manny's Cafe - Banana Foster's French Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Carol Stream, Illinois

Randomly chose this place to eat cuz it simply was on the way to where we were headed. It surprised both my boyfriend and myself with how good it was. Will definitely go again ... on purpose next time. read more

I don't always write reviews, but when I do it's because you're amazing! Manny's is such a hidden gem of a breakfast joint. There food is one to experience for the taste buds. I had the chicken and waffles with bourbon infused maple syrup... YUM! Had a half order of biscuits and gravy that was so flavorful I can't even get the thought out of it out of my head. By far an instant favorite on my first time visit. Come check it out, I'm sure you'll be pleasantly pleased with whatever you decide to eat. read more

I guess we caught these guys off-guard with a rush we were a part of towards the end of lunch hours last Saturday for it took over an hour to serve us pretty simple offerings. they did mention this as we left, but they could have preemptively warned us as we sat down. The food was really good I must say. I am sure they are worth returning to . read more

We just moved to the area and were looking for a new breakfast spot. This place is it!! Our new favorite. The potatoes are amazing and actually seasoned (not just plain frozen hash browns like a lot of places), the eggs are always perfectly cooked and seasoned as well. The bananas foster french toast is to die for, and I want everyone I know to try it! One thing to note, the inside is somewhat small, so I think takeout would be the best route. Give this place a try, you won't regret it!!! read more

Came to eat breakfast here for the first time with my husband and were happy we found this place. We got breakfast and it was amazing! The owner Manny came and introduced himself, super nice guy. Very cozy and welcoming. Will definitely be coming back. read more

OMG! The reviews nailed it. Skeptical when coming into the strip mall, but had already been sold by the menu options. Very cozy, delicious food (we all had to have more than just a taste of the other's). And just as we were talking about how fresh everything is and at a very affordable price... The owner/chef came out to greet us and see how everything was. Very humble, charming, and polite... You can tell that Manny is very passionate about what he does. This is a must try! Definitely coming back with different people! I only wish it was a little bigger square foot-wise, so I could bring everyone I know! read more

The food is delicious and has generous portions. Amazing pancakes!!! My only complaints are that takeout orders are put in styrofoam containers that basically melt onto the hot food - probably not too good for you. Also, the cooking area always looks a little dirty... read more

Eggs were nice and fluffy, potatoes were cooked nicely and omg the pancakes were also nice and fluffy, I'm very picky with pancakes because some places make them too thick. I recommend eating here. read more

Place is awesome and has great customer interactions .this is a must try they have a great breakfast

The avocado toast was soo good! Their is a sweet marmalade that is put on it and it really complements the flavors! Their fries were also divine! Will be back!! read more

This little diner has great food. The staff is awesome. I don't know how busy it is on weekends but during the week breakfast is steady when I go. Great little diner !! read more
