Our daughter is vegan, and she helped navigate her meal by making sure her breakfast (Market hash) was fully vegan ( no meat, no eggs, no butter on the bread)...all with a smile on her face, and a no problem attitude. I had the Fritatta Rustica; hubby had the traditional breakfast. My fritatta was overcooked, and as such very dry, but everything else was very good. The coffee was delish, and I love that they leave the pot on the table. Highly recommend First Watch. Would have been a five star review if not for the overcooked frittata.

We have never been here before, so with Annie we were off to an excellent start! I ordered a Diet Cola, no ice and she said is Pepsi okay? I strongly prefer Pepsi to Coke so a win! I really hate any American breakfast and it is not because I am a vegan. Every American breakfast place is basically like 3 options - eggs and potatoes, pancakes/waffles/French toast etc. I find it very hard to believe that nobody might prefer a pizza, chicken nuggets a burger etc. Not everybody in the US has to want the same exact thing for breakfast every day and no other place is open in the morning. My American husband loves going out for breakfast and judges a place by it's Eggs Benedict. He said the ones that they serve are not bad but he would never return here, which he rarely says about American breakfast places.

First of all, you have to fight for your life in the parking lot trying to find a spot. Then, you enter the front door and are treated like you are a nuisance for coming up to the hostess stand. I get that you are busy, but you still need to treat people that are coming in to your business with respect. I sat there waiting and waiting..no food. No one cared to check. Just kept getting more and more crowded to the point where I was being shoved into the bathroom hall behind a sea of other waiting customers. The ambiance is loud, overwhelming chaos. Perhaps they need a better system or take on less customers. I wasted my Sunday morning in there. Definitely will only be returning in my nightmares! Not worth it! Plenty of better options in the area that actually WANT your business.

But I decided to try the HAM & CHEDDAR EGGS last weekend w/ fruit. The eggs and cheddar cheese and minced ham was delicious. Definitely one of the best (if not the best) I've had of eggs out. Most times - omelets are massive and fluffy with little cheese and egg dishes get dried out. NOT the case at all for me. Very moist - right amount of cheese and great ham. I would highly recommend this dish. Our server was great (Dairo) and he was the correct amount of attentiveness. Great meal out!

Cute little spot in the mini mall that's packed with FLAVOR!!…read moreIf the lot is full parking is slightly difficult. Very cozy, familial feeling. Nice patio seating area of 5-6 tables you want outside but be careful the sun is beaming out there. Inside 5-four person tables, 2-two person tables, a cozy couch for drinking your preferred beverage, and a coffee bar seating. The service was great. As a black coffee drinker the guy allowed me to taste the Cafe de Olla to make sure it wasn't too sweet for me. It was perfect and piping hot. The cinnamon, star of anise, and sugar have a nice balanced flavor. The chilaquiles con bistek y salsa verde was DELICIOUS!! The salsa had the perfect amount of heat and flavor. The egg cooked over medium was fresh and a perfect match for my breakfast. I believe my toast was sour dough bread perfectly toasted. It's very seldom that I come across a perfect meal that doesn't over or under do something. So to create a beautiful breakfast that packed nothing highlighted my day. The decor inside is full of plants and nature feel. Good music vibe. I would absolutely return here. I don't know if this is a family owned business but their simple menu got it right!

It's worth noting that dogs are welcome on the patio. Our service was not the best unfortunately. In multiple instances we never received things we asked our server for. We also waited quite a while to order our food because she was chatting with another guest. Even so, we will probably give this place another try on a less busy day, as we went on a Saturday afternoon. They have a really solid veggie burger, and there's no up-charge to substitute, which I always appreciate. I ordered the Baja California burger, which was a really nice combination of flavors. I upgraded my fries for Cajun fries and honestly wouldn't next time. The Cajun spice was not spicy at all and the flavor wasn't worth the extra $2.99.

We ate at one of the booths in the bar and the bar itself is huge - and looks like a great casual place to grab a drink with someone. For drinks - we got the Signature Doli. While we still preferred Sullivan's rendition of the drink - this one was tasty. For appetizer - we got the Jerk Chicken Fondue. I would recommend this. The jerk chicken was quite good and I would love that as just an entree or in a salad. The fondue came with variety of veggies, and croutons and fruit. It was a great starter to share. For entrees - we got the Filet Mignon Cobb Salad and the Chicken Rotisseiere Salad. I loved my chicken salad and the honey lime dressing was delicious - especially paired with the bacon and corn bread croutons. It was delicious and my husband really enjoyed his steak salad. All in all - a great experience - great attention from the wait staff and lovely interior. We will be back.

When we pulled…read moreup, the aroma coming from the restaurant was smelling good, but that turned out to be a whole lie. Everything was ok until we got seated. The server's name was Taisha M. The service was slow and she knew it. She kept apologizing, saying that there was a birthday party she was serving even though we didn't see it for ourselves. When I went to the bathroom, I observed Taisha leaned back with her elbow on the counter having a convo with her coworkers. She had time to talk and hold entire conversations, but not enough time to give us better service. The drinks took forever. My husband's rose margarita was good. My sunset lemonade tasted like regular juice. I didn't like it but I drunk it anyway. About 15 minutes later, Taisha slammed the soup on the table. The Redstone chicken soup tasted like it came out of a can. It was more veggies than anything else. Very little noodles. Very stingy on the broth. Very disappointed. So here we are almost 1 hour later and still munching on this canned soup. No main dishes yet. I mentioned the slow as a snail service and my husband agreed. So we finally get our pasta dishes. He ordered the Chicken Pesto Bellagio. The chicken was paper thin and dry. I ordered the Shrimp Scampi that turned out to be a disaster. The shrimp in my scampi wasn't deveined as you can see in the picture. The pasta sauce was thin and lacked flavor. He asked for Tabasco sauce so he can eat the dry chicken in his pasta dish. I asked for Parmesan cheese so my sauce can have some sort of flavor. Even that was a fail! We didn't get the sauce and cheese until 20 minutes later (in my Spongebob voice). The cheese was obviously old. You can see the old and dry chunks in the bowl in the picture. Everything was bad all around except for the margarita. We wasted $97 and some change for mediocre food and service. I'm mad because it was my idea and ended up wasting our hard earned money. We always ask the million dollar question after every new dining experience: Will we return for more? The answer is an unanimous NO. Zero out of five stars. Will not recommend.

But, I am reviewing the Lombard location. The selection was good and fresh, although some of their items are a bit pricey. I ordered cake pops, brownies, and a chocolate chip cookie. The sales person was pleasant and quick. This store is their biggest store, and they feed the Winfield and Schaumburg stores. They make their pastries at this location, so you'll probably get the freshest selection at the Lombard location. I had bought a gift card from Costco for Sweet Reserve. I admit if I hadn't bought it, and received a discount at Costco for it, I probably would not have noticed the store. It's in a small strip mall on Roosevelt road which has hundreds of strip malls off the road. The store itself is clean and well kept. It does have a limited selection of products but they were all pretty good. The brownies are very frudgey, just the way I like them. The cake pops are sweet, but a little dry. The cookie has a lot of chips in them. Overall, I liked the place.

Close at 10pm but if you need longer later hours a 1am tea shop is about a quarter mile down the road with good options also. Parking lot with plenty of parking. My highlight is that they have booths. Plenty of tables and seating. Good menu options for lattes, iced, hot, espresso, etc. Reasonable priced and they have 20oz coffee. The service was nice as the girl was kind but she didn't seem to understand me well and she didn't know if the coffee was Turkish or not. Therefore, I ordered an Americano with their homemade pistachio sauce. It was a nice beverage. I also ordered a Turkish bread with ground beef. It too was delicious, hot and fresh. The ambiance is inviting. The pastries and mini to small cake options were quite beautiful. The nose level was very quiet until little ones came in. Still tolerable but if you are studying and it's busy don't forget your headphones. Lol. I studied for about 3 hours and I would definitely return again.
