    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!

    Egg White Veggie Omlette

    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.

Not too salty or bland. I got a fresh red bean paste pastry. SUPER fresh. I reached towards the back. The bread was very fluffy and soft. The bean paste was fresh and not too sweet.

If u don't want sweet, do 1 pump. The topping and foam adds some sweetness. Small/regular size was a perfect amount. I paid about $20 for 4 pastries and a regular drink.

The cashier (long black hair) she had an unfriendly attitude from the start--no greeting, no smile, and it felt like she was already irritated. What made it worse was how both the cashier and the owner spoke to me. They raised their voices instead of helping. There was a promotion for 3 bakery items for $5. I accidentally selected 7 items instead of 6, and I clearly told them multiple times that I only wanted 6 and did NOT want the extra item. Instead of fixing a simple mistake calmly, they kept raising their tone at me, which was unnecessary and uncomfortable. As a customer, I expect basic respect and professionalism. This situation could have been handled politely in seconds, but instead it turned into a negative experience. I won't be returning, and I hope management seriously works on customer service.

After we were seated, the staff quickly gave us water as we looked over the menu. I was not in the mood for a fancy breakfast so I went traditional, Two Eggs over medium, veggie patties (homemade), hash browns and pancakes with decaffeinated coffee with honey. The food came in a nice time, not too long and not too quick- enough to have a nice conversation while waiting. When the food came, everything was cooked to perfection. The eggs over medium, the hash browns were cooked and had that bit of crunch from the skillet. Pancakes were a nice size. And the veggie patties were tasty! The coffee with just honey hit the spot.

Instead of ordering a traditional breakfast, I decided to try their signature WB BLT sandwich. Even though it's a simple sandwich, it's executed exceptionally well. The sourdough bread was perfectly toasted, the thick cut hickory smoked bacon was savory and packed with flavor, and the gooey egg yolk dripping into every bite made it even more satisfying. The layer of garlic mayo brought everything together and elevated the sandwich to another level. This sandwich alone is worth the trip. I'll definitely be coming back more often as long as I can avoid the crowds.
