    OJ
    Mark N.

    Ok- ambiance is key- this place is small - cozy is more like it - but very smartly designed - loved it. Never knew it was here; turned out is was only 3km from home - so we decided to - what the heck - try it! Seated promptly, we were asked if we wanted something to drink- we both wanted OJ (no size options were given) - we got two decent sized mason jars filled with fresh-squeezed juice. Nice. Didn't realize until later there were two sizes and we were served large - must be a default? Okie-dokie then! I ordered a Denver omelette sans onions with hashies and a side of rye toast. Now check this out- every item was hot- and the green peppers in the Denver were smokin' fresh! Wow! Hubby ordered a California Panini, and was very pleased as well. Does this place live up to to what a great breakfast place should be? Yes - yes it does! So will we return? Ummm.... did you read the review?

    9,000 mile foodie road trip day 2 from Pittsburgh. Fantastic experience! Service great. Super friendly and knowledgeable of menu. Came in with plan but pivoted with the new menu item. Chihuahua breakfast skillet (pork carnitas, poblanos, tomato, onion, cilantro, chihuahua sauce, pepper jack, and served with poached eggs). Came with 2 pancakes also! Excellent blend of flavors. Carnitas cooked awesomely. Should have gotten toast over pancakes as not needed with the meal. Nice savory breakfast!

    My husband and I dined in on a weekend morning and I really liked it! I noticed within 15 mins of being seated there was a line out the door to be seated. I highly recommend getting here by 9-10am at the latest to avoid a long wait time. Rising Early Cafe has about 75ish indoor seats. The decor is somewhat of a a rustic farm house feel and is very quaint and cute. Service throughout was fast and consistent. Within minutes a staff member approached our table with waters and asked for our drink order. We both got coffees which were hot and strong-ish. For food I ordered the south of the border omelet which came with 2 sides. I opted for fruit and pancakes. The omelet was DELICIOUS - it had the perfect amount of heat and the chorizo was flavorful and not too greasy. It also came with sour cream and pico which brought the whole dish together perfectly. I don't usually care for pancakes but they were good! Fluffy and light. The next time I come in I'll probably order the same thing, haha.

    Very nice discovery! The menu items are plentiful and varied! Servings are huge and entrees are well presented, even just for breakfast items! Service is friendly and efficient. And although we combined our dine time with a casual business meeting, the wait staff never made us feel like they wanted us to leave before we were ready. My only reason for giving 4 instead of 5 stars is restroom maintenance. There should always be someone assigned to check the restrooms when it's a busy day. The one I used hadn't been cleaned in a while.

    What a cute little brunch spot! It's a little difficult to find/hidden in a strip mall just off Schaumburg Road, but once you're inside it's so bright and welcoming. And the food was incredible. The chorizo quesadilla was savory and delicious. The skillets have diced potatoes which I personally prefer to hash browns, and the pancakes were fluffy and tasty. Finally, they have espresso drinks in addition to regular coffee. We will definitely be back with some family or friends soon!

    Pretty good as a change of pace from the giant brunch restaurants that are pretty common in the Northwest Suburbs. Just big enough to seat a good number of people, but just small enough to get more personalized service, this restaurant serves up all the standard breakfast and lunch favorites at a reasonable price and at a reasonable speed. The decor isn't excessive, but the breakfast theme is clear throughout the restaurant and the service is friendly though it could be a little quicker (seems like they handle a fairly high volume of takeout orders as well). The presentation of the food was fairly neat with good colors and arrangement. Portion sizes aren't the largest I've seen but the prices are also a little lower to match as well. I found the flavors to be in line with what I'd get at other places like Brunch Cafe, good execution on familiar flavors. Textures were a bit better than expected with a great firmness on the fruit, good cheesy texture on the skillet, and a slightly crispy texture on the fluffy pancakes. I also like how minor elements such as onions and green peppers were sauteed nicely to add a good savory flavor. Overall, worth a visit if you're looking for a good option for brunch in the area in a spot with plenty of parking and not as busy as the super giant brunch spots around Schaumburg.

    Wow the restaurant has been updated (we went to the restaurant that was here before) and it is decorated very nicely. The temperature of the restaurant is perfect not too cold and definitely not hot (in the summer) Our waitress Jasmine was really sweet and very attentive. It is July 4th and all the waitresses were dressed so cute for the holiday in red white and blue with lots of sparkle. I ordered the two egg breakfast with diced potatoes and pancakes and a hot tea. They have several tea bags that you get to choose from. I selected the Egyptian Chamomile and it was very tasty. My husband ordered the Corned Beef Hash with two eggs and water to drink. The pancakes were excellent but the rest of the food we ordered lacked seasoning. I added salt so it was not big deal. This is a great place to dine if your worried about your blood pressure. We will definitely be back, it was a relaxing and wonderful experience. They have lots of fruit based pancakes on the menu, the table next to us ordered and they looked so delicious! I may try the chicken and waffles next time! Someone else sitting at another table near us ordered two different sandwiches and they looked so delicious too. They were big and they took 1/2 of it home!

    This place is new but here to stay! Inside is very bright, clean, and modern and the staff is very friendly and works very well together as a team. For a busy Sunday morning, we were seating right away. After a few rounds of coffee, we ordered. I tried the veggie omelette (sub egg whites) with fruit and pancakes. I think it was also suppose to come with potatoes which I totally forgot about until the end. Ops! The fruit cup was small but very fresh. The pancakes were just the right side. The omelette was also the perfect portion and packed with veggies!

    Food was exceptional. Service was great. The restaurant is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. Inside of restaurant is very clean and tidy. Food was served very promptly and service was provided excellent.

    Breakfast Panini

    had the curro waffle an it was absolutely amazing! They do not skimp out on veggies in thhe vegetable skillet. Had their breakfast panini as well and skirt steak. Food, coffee, and juice was great! There's a little room for improvement in terms of their service but the food was great.

    I was in town for a business trip and wanted to try a local eatery near my hotel. I google this place and to my humble surprise the food was amazing. Great portion and quick service. I definitely enjoyed the mom and pop vibes it gave me. When I return I'll definitely be back again. I also had a caramel latte but I didn't get a pick after I started to drink it.

Although friendly greeting and being seated immediately, that went well. Where this train started going off the rails was when the waiter returned with our beverages it was obvious he had been somewhere eating because he had remnants of food on his mouth and was "smacking" his lips. We had to repeat request for things. Now, he was pleasant however not professional. Where we were seated there was trash (food and a straw) on the floor between the tables and no one even attempted to clean the floors around us. (Although I personally don't like sweeping around the table while eating because dirt and debris flys around when people use the brooms). For everything we ordered it was a bit salty in areas as if not distributed well. On one side of the dish it was extremely salty and the other side needed a touch of salt. Then when mixed the whole dish was almost too salty. Although we were told we had gotten there right after brunch there were very few customers, however even 30minutes in we still had not received our main courses. Disappointed is an understatement. Oh, and even after asking for the check took quite long. Suggestion to management at this location... Do better.
