    Pancakes, scrambled Eggs Any Style with Breakfast Meat (2 Pcs)
    Nerina B.

    This place is small, but cozy. It's such a cute diner. The prices are really good. I ordered the scrambled eggs, 2 sausage links, and 2 pancakes. It's good breakfast. The pancakes are almost like crepe style. The scrambled eggs need a little seasoning. The sausage were ok. Overall the breakfast is good. Service excellent. Cute little neighborhood diner. Very friendly staff.

    Yellow Rose Cafe is a true hidden gem. Cash-only breakfast spot with signature lunch plates that are absolutely worth coming back for. The service is super fast, the food comes out hot and fresh, and you can tell everything is made with care. The homemade salsa is delicious--easily one of the highlights of the meal. Simple, authentic, and done right. If you're looking for a no-frills place with great flavor, quick service, and a local vibe, this spot delivers every time. Highly recommend!

    **CASH ONLY** Classic breakfast joint known for their corned beef. They were featured on Chicago's Best for this. The corned beef was very tasty and the jelly for the toast was great. Very friendly and speedy service.

    06/11/24 - Jest anudder day in paradise 73 degrees & sunny. Walked to Express Auto to check on my cars body work then Moised on down to Yellow Rose Cafe 1.3 miles from my house w/my brother in law to grab some breakfast. We both ordered the Sidewalk Special for $8.99. What do you get for $8.99 you might ask? Well I'm going to tell you. 2 eggs, 2 sausage, hash browns, 2 pieces of toast & coffee. Yellow Rose is a quaint little cafeteria style joint with/a counter & bar stools & tables. Good server that's friendly &. Chatty. Nice place, good vibe & good inexpensive food

    Such a small town homey feel and friendly diner! Place is pretty small and they were busy but we were able to snag two seats at the counter. Everyone seemed to know each other, and our waitress made us feel like we were part of the family. Listening to the banter between locals and staff was pretty entertaining during our meal. Food was good, you can tell it was fresh. Only thing that caught us off guard was the CASH ONLY sign on the wall halfway through our meal. We will be sure to be better prepared next time!

    If you're looking for a retro cafe with delicious, fresh food and a laid back atmosphere, this is it! We went in around 10 on President's Day and got the last two tables to push together for our group of 4. Immediately for drinks and menus which had so much great sounding stuff we were immediately overwhelmed - in a good way! Luckily I noticed the "cash only" sign as one of our couples needed to find an ATM. Took me almost as long as he was gone to decide what I wanted! Cool was right there making our food old school and I loved that it was all fresh to order. Waitress was patient with us and thankfully explained the cook's idea of "sunny side up" and we all changed our eggs a little to ensure they were the done-ness we preferred! Food came out fast and everything was fantastic' Would highly recommend if you're looking for the opposite of stuck up and sophisticated - lol!

    The perfect Chicago diner. The prices are good, the service is quick and courteous, and very straightforward and the place is not fancy at all. We love that we have such a great little spot in the neighborhood where we can get good food and chat with our neighbors. Also, their house made hot sauce is delicious!

    Outside building.

    Owner was sour when I walked in. Just not welcoming. Saw price on outside board and wanted to give it a try but with that welcome I wasn't interested. You the face of the place find someone that might smile once in awhile.

    The Chicago Special is fantastic tasting you get a sample of a little bit of everything and Angelo and Gus are on top of the ball, as for the service Colleen and helping her is Roger. The place is so homey it make you feel like your in you moms kitchen because everything is homemade in there. The food is always fresh and hot and tasty I have yet to experience a bad meal there yet. Thanks to everyone who works there they're all a wonderful working team Kudos especially Angelo and Rula .

    Charcoal grilled chicken breast

    We came to the diner after arriving early in the morning at O'Hare and coming inside looks like a total local place which I totally love!!! The houses were super nice and friendly and took our orders. I had the Chicago best special with homemade corn beef and hash and eggs... food was so so very good and you can tell it was homemade!!! The waitress so many peoples names coming into the restaurant and would always come by and ask if we needed anything and refilled coffee like a pro!!! This place is a TOTAL MUST GO!!!! Love it!!!!

    A beautiful, eclectic coffee house just outside of Chinatown, La Malinche was the perfect place for…read morea casual late breakfast. With a cozy locals vibe, there was a mix of young professionals on laptops and families starting the morning. The bright aesethics of Mexican heritage and decor celebrating local artists make the space inspiring and energizing. The coffee was great. I got the horchata latte, which tasted even better than I hoped. I also ordered a El Chavo Torta, a deceptively simple sandwich that was incredibly delicious. I don't know what they put in the bread or what magical place they bought the cheese from, but my mouth is watering just thinking about it. When I'm in Chicago again, La Malinche is on my list of must visit spots.

    Stopped by La Malinche Coffee & Tea House in Pilsen to try something new. Place is nice and quiet…read more Bright pink walls, little decorative hearts, alebrijes all around and full piano in the room. Felt cozy right away. The staff were really welcoming, for an early morning. I got the hot chocolate. Honestly that's exactly what I needed that morning. It had that real Mexican chocolate taste. 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.

    Not sure why I had not reviewed this soot earlier, I come here often, in fact I'm here right now…read more Great spot! Set in an old warehouse that is now an art gallery event space and restaurant nestled in an older warehouse district in Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago. Beautiful decor and laid out perfectly. The natural wood floors furniture ie tables chairs etc and iron work throughout sets the ambiance for old meets new. It works. The wide spacing between tables makes for a comfortable dining experience. So many folks come in to do their work and dine here. What a super addition to the neighborhood that less than a decade ago was essentially a street that was more a run down semi-truck alley. Great menu with neighborhood favorites leaning toward the old school Italian dishes. Sandwiches, soups, salads, and breakfasts just to name a few are all excellent. The pastries are insane and a must take home deal. I love the American Breakfast. Three eggs your way, thick diced America potatoes, thick cut bacon, and sourdough toast. Accompanied by what I believe to be home made jelly and for sure homemade gardiniera. Caruso's gardiniera actually. Diced into a relish unlike most standard gardiniera it's easier to eat with many dishes. Excellent flavor and just the right kick to it. FYI Dolce Arte also sells a to go line of homemade Caruso products from their gardiniera to past and past sauces and more. Yes, their coffee is really good too. Lavazza products I believe. The service is always on point. Casual but on point. Very friendly staff from diverse backgrounds. This is the place you bring people close to you, business lunches, meetings, formal ir informal, or like me, save it for myself as my own getaway spot. It's an artists dream and sets a positive time for any gathering.
