    Two eggs and potatoes
    Matt Z.

    We were in the area running errands and stopped in for a late breakfast at the location on Montrose and Milwaukee. Parking is limited to metered street spots. Upon entering, we were promptly greeted and seated, which was appreciated. The interior has been recently updated with a very minimal, modern design, but the abundance of hard surfaces makes the space quite loud. The menu prices, however, were surprising. Chilaquiles are listed at $18, and adding steak--the only meat option--costs an additional $11, bringing the total close to $30 for a breakfast dish. That feels more like Michigan Avenue pricing. Near my home, I have plenty of options where chilaquiles range from $11 to $18 with steak included. We ultimately ordered two eggs with potatoes. The potatoes were well‑seasoned and enjoyable, but overall, with so many nearby breakfast options at more reasonable prices, this spot didn't feel like a good value.

    I love finding new brunch spots! This is a nice place with free street parking along Montrose. It was Friday, 11am, and we were able to get a seat right away. I started with a cold horchata latte. It was sweet and delicious. For food my friend and I split the "The flight of the 3 worlds," which is bread pudding with different toppings. I loved them all. We also had the lox and bagel. Only issue I had was the uneven cut of the bagel; otherwise there was plenty of filling. Service was good and the place looked modern and comfortable.

    I went to this location around the time it was just opening. There was a wait as they were still trying to figure out seating arrangements but overall for two people we waited no more than 20 minutes on a busy Sunday brunch. The moment we sat down, we were able to review the menu and had a gist of what we were going to order and by the time our waitress came in to our table and check up how we were doing, we placed the order for our food and drinks. I got the smoked salmon eggs Benedict and my husband got the Chilaquiles plate and both were super filling and flavorful. We would definitely be returning to this location in the near future

    Cinco de Mayo special menu! Enjoyed the Mayan Benedict: chorizo, bean cake, avocado, poached eggs, sprinkle of cheese, Mayan salsa, sour cream + side of potatoes. It might be one of the most flavorful breakfasts I've ever eaten. Fast service too! 5 stars for the flavor

    Food and service were great! So happy to have a place we can walk to. Husband had the key lime French toast and it was delicious and beautiful!

    Tried this spot for the first time today after seeing it on Instagram. The service was great (attentive with refills, fast service in terms of food timing), food delicious, and portions large. Can't wait to stop in again to try different brunch items.

    Tried the new Portage Park Breakfast Place this morning and it was excellent. Even on a busy Saturday we were seated in about 10 minutes. The service stood out--our waiter was incredibly kind and attentive. Food was delicious across the board: the chilaquiles were the best, the arrachera skillet was flavorful and cooked perfectly, and the kids loved the smashed burger. The fries were fresh and not greasy at all. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a great brunch spot with fast, friendly service and really good food.

    Came in with a party of 8 on a busy Saturday, and they were able to accommodate us in about 10 min. The food was excellent, served hot, and came out quickly. If you've ever been inside this space before, you'll immediately recognize what a HUGE transformation has taken place. It's unrecognizable from its former self - clean, modern, and cozy. This is by far the best brunch I've had in the neighborhood. I look forward to returning!

    Food is soooo delicious. I'm a chilaquiles hound and their verde chilaquiles were superb. Added grilled chicken and loved the flavor to the guacamole. Staff was super attentive to all customers. So happy this spot opened around the corner from me!

    We stopped by on a frigid Saturday morning for brunch. We were seated right away and there was nice ambiance in the restaurant. Service was attentive and friendly, and the food was delicious! So much so that I wanted to do justice to the chilaquiles because the other pictures were of half-eaten ones. The salsa was delicious with the right touch of spiciness and the tortillas were nice and crisp! The French toast was delicious, sweet and tart just right! We're already looking forward to our next visit.

    Prompt and friendly service. Got the chilaquiles with mixed salsas and it was delicious. I would definitely recommend.

    Enjoyed myself very much, definitely would recommend this place to family and friends. They are still on the up coming but don't hesitate to believe me when I say the food was SUPER GOOD. Thank you Breakfast Place.

Thick, creamy, smooth and rich. The cinnamon came through warm but not too strong, plus a little extra on top that hit your nose before the first sip. Sweet and it almost had this slight earthy note too... hard to explain but good. It even had that little design on top, like the ones they do on cappuccinos. Didn't expect that but it was cool. I finished it slow. Didn't wanna rush it. Just sat there taking small sips and enjoying it while it was still hot.

They also have a patio, and with the weather being nice, it was easy to just sit outside and relax for a while. I was honestly too hungry to spend much time deciding, so I just ordered one of the sourdough donut ball. It was exactly what I was hoping for. The outside had a light coating of sugar that gave it just the right amount of sweetness without being too much. Once I bit into it, the inside was soft, airy, and slightly chewy from the sourdough, which made it different from a regular donut. There was a subtle tang from the sourdough that balanced the sweetness really well, so it never felt overly sugary. It had a light crispness on the outside, then a warm, pillowy center that practically melted away with each bite. I finished it way faster than I expected. The only thing I forgot was ordering something to drink with it. Looking back, a good coffee would've made it even better. Still, I'd definitely stop by again the next time I'm in the area.

Our family and extended family often ordered birthday cakes from them, and their mango cake was our favorite. When mangoes were in season, they used plenty of fresh mango in the cakes. Their cakes are always fresh, light, fluffy, and not too sweet. My daughter and I also love their individual cakes, especially the Black Pearl and Walnut Cake. Their pineapple buns and egg tarts are her favorites as well. Saint Anna has also been part of our daughter's childhood. When she was little, my husband used to bring her here before or after Chinese school in Chinatown on Sundays. Her go-to breakfast items were the Butter Bun, Ham and Macaroni in Soup, and Diced Ham and Corn in Cream Rice. As she got older, Curry Chicken with Potato became her favorite. She especially loved the potato cubes soaked in the delicious, mild curry sauce. She would always ask for more potatoes and less chicken, haha! Saint Anna is a family-run business, and Sara and Irene, the daughters-in-law, used to take care of the front of house. They were always so friendly and accommodating. After a 6-year hiatus, we finally returned one Friday recently when we happened to be in the area with a friend. Sara is now a co-owner, and it was wonderful to see her again. She immediately recognized us and was so warm and welcoming. She even asked me to relay her greetings to my sisters when she greeted us and again when we were leaving. Those little gestures made our return feel especially meaningful. We were still full from a big dim sum lunch, so my daughter picked up 2 Mini Pineapple Buns and 2 Paper-Wrapped Sponge Cakes, while I got a Red Bean Roll. Everything was fresh, soft, and delicious, and the total came to just under $8, really a great value. Our friend also purchased 2 Fried Sticky Rice Dumplings with Chicken. I had never really paid attention to their limited dim sum selection before, so that was a nice discovery. We love Saint Anna and will definitely be back whenever we're in the area.
