Nutella Crepes, Bacon, Sausage Links, Two Eggs Overeasy
Mya A.

I went back here in 2023 visiting Chicago for a concert and needed a breakfast place. We came across Yolk, walking distance from our hotel. I am not a big breakfast fan to begin with, thus the random combination. In my opinion, the place is probably overrated. I would rather go to a mom and pops shop in my home town than here. The inside was clean and well decorated.

Honestly I just thought it was alright. Little pricy for what you get. The best was my girlfriends chilaquiles. The chicken or egg sandwich was alright nothing too over the top, imagine just a slightly higher quality chicken patty with egg and some type of Cane's sauce on top. The pancake was way overcooked and dry, sadly not even the chocolate chips could save it. Wasn't sure what was going on that morning or if there was staffing issues but could definitely tell there was an attitude with a couple of the servers too. The host was kind but felt like I was a disruption vs being welcomed. The restaurant was clean even though busy and liked how we had the option to sit outside

I used to visit this location often as it was just around the corner from my condo. If it weren't for the convenient location, I probably would not choose to come here often. The menu is expansive and there is a wide variety of options to please everyone in your party. Prices are high, but that is to be expected given its location downtown in a train station. The food itself is fine - nothing particularly show stopping, but good standard breakfast food. I really like the thick cut bacon here. Service here, in my experience, has been largely overwhelming. Sometimes I get a gem of a server, but most of the time I had issues with servers who were rude or inattentive. If you're looking for a quick breakfast, Yolk is fine, but if you're looking for an overall positive experience, look elsewhere.

This place was so yummy. Our server lady was great. There wasn't too many people. The restrooms were very clean. Coffee was great too!

Food - the breakfast Mac n cheese was where it's at. I was glad they had many vegetarian options, including a veggie breakfast Mac options. The options are all pretty good! Service - very speedy and attentive server. She confirmed everything tasted good and that we got out in time to catch our train! The hosts also let me store my luggage so I didn't have to haul it back to the booth or take up space. Ambiance - it was a nice little spot tucked to one side of the lobby. It was bright and comfy for a nice breakfast.

Corned beef hash
Allison C.

A solid brunch spot chain. The corned beef hash had a different type of chopped beef which was nice since the pieces were a bit bigger. The overall portion size was hefty and came with pancakes. I especially liked the two homemade hot sauces they had on the table. My friends thought their dishes were okay (burrito and chilaquiles), but I'd say to stick to the American classics.

5 egg omelette

Service amazing, food delicious and served quickly, and very clean and well put together establishment. I'm gluten intolerant and was delighted to see plenty of options for myself. First time having broccoli in an omelette and I was loving it, perfect meal to start the day off on, left feeling very nourished and satisfied.

Chai Latte

It was such a cute brunch place. My friends and I went back in December. The waiter was very chill and I appreciated his honesty when I asked about certain menu items. The food was delicious and presented very nicely.e atmosphere was very nice overall.

5 egg omelet, pancakes, cinnamon roll, hashbrowns, Strawberry Cheesecake latte
Gaby B.

Walked from the station to Yolk, looks like a nice place very bright and the staff was friendly. They bring you water to your table which is very nice! The orange juice was fresh squeezed so yum! I also got a Strawberry Cheesecake iced latte, very coffee forward which is good because it's not too sweet and the aftertaste tastes like strawberries very good. My husband ordered the 5 egg california omelet, it came with hash browns and 2 pancakes. I ate his pancakes which were yummy, i had a side of hash browns and a cinnamon roll. The hash browns seemed very dry or old not sure which they also were a bit cold which was a bummer. The cinnamon roll came nice and hot but nothing special about it it's okay for a regular cinnamon roll though. The bathrooms were clean, but the second bathroom door doesn't lock so be aware of that, also they don't use paper towels to dry your hands just the hand blower thing that dries.

Short walk from Union Station Amtrak or Metra. Inside the Madison building. Not too busy for a Sunday around 10. Immediate seating. Server gave me water right away. A carafe was left on the table with a small Mason jar. Asked for my order as soon as I set down. I needed a little more time and I was certainly giving it. Ordered a beet orange juice. Very tasty. Ordered a pretty basic breakfast. Grits, eggs, turkey sausage and huge pancakes. A LOT OF FOOD! Price wasn't bad. Portions were huge except the beet orange juice. My price was $21 before tip. This is my second time here. The first time was a great morning date quick bite. I had been wanting to come back since to spend more time...... and I did.... After the initial asking for my order...... before I looked at the menu.....I waited....... for that second time........ and waited for a checkin..... and I waited and waited for the check. I glad her down for the payment. I love open kitchen concepts. Very clean and modern.

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.

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.

I had the regular coffee flight and their valentine special coffee flight. Their drinks were soooo good and tastes just like how you would expect it to taste. I cannot wait to come here and try other drinks! I would definitely come here for coffee if I am ever in the area. The price is decent, the taste is amazing, and the people here are super friendly. The owner said they took over the store next door to expand the coffee shop, so stay tune for an expansion? Hands down one of the most legit coffee spots I would keep coming back to even if it's out of the way sometimes. My husband ordered a bagel sandwich cause he was hungry and we thought it was fine. If you're ever in the area, you must come here for the coffee! They even use the good ice so that way your drinks stays cold and not watered down immediately! IYKYK

Why would you not order a flight to try a variety of drinks all at once? We had the hibiscus lemonade and matcha flight, the mango con crema and banana con crema were the standouts. We went on a weekend and there was a long line but it moved pretty quickly. Limited seating space but there are also chairs and tables on the outside. Street parking available. They also offer brunch food items which we did not get to try. But overall cute shop with a variety of speciality drinks that I will definitely try in the future.
